FRHS gets start in recent game

Cale Rammel had a great season for the Indians as a senior at Fort Recovery High School last year.

As a college freshman, he has gotten off to another nice season.

The 2023 FRHS grad has put together a strong first half of his freshman campaign, highlighted by a career game on Jan. 9 against Indiana Southeast.

Rammel led the Ohio Christian men’s basketball team to a 99-57 win over the Grenadiers with a team-high in rebounds and career-high in points while posting a double-double. He finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 7-for-13 (53.8%) from 3-point range.

Rammel scored in double digits three more times this season – including in the Trailblazers’ most recent win, when he started against IU-East – to average 6.6 points on the year. He scored 12 points all three times.

The FRHS current career highs in other stats are 11 rebounds (Nov. 14), three steals (Nov. 10), two assists (Jan. 18) and two blocks (Jan. 6).

The Cardinals took out Toledo 182-117 on Jan. 20, the first meet in over a month and a half.

Bader’s top performance came in the 100-yard breaststroke. A time of 1 minute, 9.53 seconds earned the Jay County graduate third place and three points for Ball State.

In her other individual event, Bader swam a 2:36.79 to place fifth for one point in the 200 breaststroke.
