COLUMBUS – Ohio State defensive tackle Tracy Sprinkle was excited to be a starter last season, but after what happened in the first few minutes of the 2016 opener against Bowling Green, he might be even more excited to be a starter this season.
Sprinkle waited three years to become a starter then saw his first year as a regular end in the first quarter against BG when he suffered a torn patellar tendon.

COLUMBUS – Urban Meyer went deep into the depth chart at his first weekly press conference of the football season on Monday.
One of his biggest hopes for the season, starting with the opener at Indiana on Thursday night, probably is that the Buckeyes receivers can also go deep.

PERRY TOWNSHIP – It was opening night for home Northwest Central Conference volleyball action for Perry and the young Commodores did some growing up Monday evening.
Perry took on visiting Temple Christian and held on to claim a 3-1 victory that improved their season record to 2-1 overall and 1-1 in the NWCC.
After taking the first game 25-13, the Commodores held on for a 25-22 win in the second game. The Pioneers fought back to claim a 25-21 win in the third game before Perry closed out the match with a 25-23 win in the fourth game.

LIMA — The phone in the office of Derek Stemen, director of the West Central Ohio chapter of the American Red Cross, has been ringing off the hook the past few days. And that’s a good thing, he says.
The public is responding in overwhelming numbers to the catastrophic flooding in southern Texas that is a result of Tropical Storm Harvey. Many of the callers are asking how and where they can make in-kind donations of products earmarked for flood-relief efforts, although Stemen said the gestures of kindness are slightly premature.
