New sectional sites selected
Local Roundup
The tentative sites for sectional tournaments involving Jay County for the 2003-07 seasons were released Tuesday. The sites have been agreed upon by the sectional schools, but still need to be approved by the IHSAA.
Jay County will continue to play its boys basketball sectional games for each of the next four season. The volleyball sectional, previously played at Bellmont, will be played at perennial powerhouse Delta for the next four seasons.
The baseball and softball sectionals will shift between Tipton and Blackford, with Tipton hosting baseball in 2004 and 2005 and Blackford hosting softball during those seasons. The schools will swap baseball and softball sectional hosting duties in 2006 and 2007.
The girls basketball sectional will shift from Blackford to Elwood for the next two years. It will then be played at Mississinewa in 2006 and 2007.
The new sectional alignments take effect this year with the Patriots competing against Blackford, Delta, Tipton, Elwood and Mississinewa in boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball.
Walter makes squad
Joe Walter will be on the sidelines for the defending national champions next year.
Walter, a Fort Recovery senior, earned a spot as a cheerleader at Ohio State beginning in the fall of 2003. He will be a cheerleader for the defending championship football team as well as the men’s basketball, women’s basketball, volleyball and hockey teams.
Hess takes gold
Jay County freshman Kurtis Hess continued his outstanding year with a championship performance at the Warsaw wrestling tournament recently.
Hess went undefeated at the tournament, scoring pins in the semifinals and finals to take the gold medal at 145 pounds.
He also competed in a tournament at Huntington North, wrestling at 152 pounds. He finished as the silver medalist, losing the championship match in sudden death overtime.
On the way to the title match Hess defeated Bryan Deutsch of Columbia City, who was a state qualifier this season.
