CANTON — It was a long couple of days in northeast Ohio for the Perrysburg baseball team, but it was worth it when regionals ended with a 3-2 victory over Medina in a Division I regional final Friday at Thurman Munson Memorial Stadium, sending the Yellow Jackets to the state semifinals for the second straight year. It was definitely a journey, however, to get to the trophy celebration.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Despite the best efforts from Mother Nature, the OHSAA softball tournament has reached the state tournament with all games once again being played at historic Firestone Stadium. With the state’s move to seven divisions from four, the tournament looks a little different this season. Instead of the state semifinals on Thursday and Friday with the state championship games all being played on Saturday, the tournament will take place from Wednesday, June 4, to Sunday, June 8.

Not going to go into details right now, but I found out tonight what happens when you need to contact ADT security while doing a Lyft ride due to an out of control and threatening passenger. All I can say is I'm thankful for ADT and the Stow Police Department tonight.
