CELINA - Bruno may not do tricks or anything heroic, but he managed to fetch this year's title of Mercer County's Top Dog for getting lost and found.
"He proves getting your dog a license works," explained county auditor Randy Grapner, whose office presents the awards each year.
ST. MARYS - After struggling with shooting in the first half, St. Marys caught fire late in the third quarter and remained hot in the fourth quarter to rally from six points down at the half to beat New Knoxville 51-41 in a battle of Auglaize County neighbors Friday night at Murotech Court.
NEW BREMEN - A 16-point second-quarter lead slowly slipped away from the New Bremen Cardinals Friday night as the visiting Fort Loramie Redskins rallied for a 66-61 victory.
MARIA STEIN - Teams can't always rely on scoring a high number every time they take the basketball court.
When you can get after it defensively like Marion Local, though, sometimes that doesn't matter.
