He comes from Notre Dame (Ohio) where he was a 2017 NCAA Division II National Champion, a three-time All-American and a four-time Academic All-American.

McClay graduated with a bachelor's degree in integrated social studies from Notre Dame in 2017.

He was a graduate assistant coach at NDC in 2019-20.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Bluffton’s major promoter since 1957, Dick Boehr, has “sort of” called it quits.

No one has yet signed up to fill the vacancy, nor has asked to see the job description.

For reasons unknown to most residents here, this past winter he sold the “Boehr block” at the corner of Main and Vine, a building where he did most of his Bluffton brainstorming since purchasing it in 1969.

Funny thing though, he never was paid for these Bluffton promotion efforts. Instead, he was forced to sell real estate on the side to keep bread on the table for his wife, Corrine, and their four sons.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STORY -

Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Ada community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.

As a weekly series, The Icon will feature the art located on The Remington Walk on the Ohio Northern University campus. For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience. 

Either way, it’s an opportunity to take a walk and view some art that is uniquely Ada. The Walk is spread through campus and may be viewed by following the ONU walking path, beginning near Affinity Village, west of The Freed Center.
