Senior Scott Rapps (Bay Village Bay) was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week presented by Scoutware for his efforts in Ohio Northern's 16-10 victory over Otterbein.

Rapps turned in a dominating performance from his defensive tackle position.

He had a team-high nine sacks, had 5.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, forced a fumble and recovered two fumbles in the game.

His first fumble recovery was in the end zone for ONU's only touchdown of the game in the second quarter and his second was part of a sack and strip that snuffed out Otterbein's final drive with 1:33 left in the game.

Artistic collaboration

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Here's the story behind this art, now on the Ada elementary wall. Kristie Steiner, art teacher, calls it a collaborative project. Each art student grades 1 to 7 designed one square. During the design the student needed to think how the square could stand out. That's because roughly 400 squares would eventually hang together. "We put the squares together to create a circle with the overall them of collaboration at Ada for all grades," she said. To best appreciate this project open the photos below to see more.
