It’s hard to put into words how I feel about all of this. I’m deeply humbled to carry the torch for the Bellefontaine Joint Recreation District.

Kris’s passing has left a void I cannot begin to fill but I’m deeply honored and grateful to work with this great organization to see the Parks through this time.

My job early on will be to ensure that the Master Plan Kris, the Park Board and our community established is seen to completion.

I regret that this appointment will cause me to step down as a member of the Bellefontaine City Schools School Board. Being elected to serve was one of the great honors of my life and I am sorry that I cannot complete my term.

Garage Sports will be going through some changes for sure. My time and energy will be narrowly focused on my family and job moving forward. Don Hensley and I will be sitting down soon to discuss.

Thank you to everyone for the incredible support!

Rick Reed has been hired as the next parks superintendent for the Bellefontaine Joint Recreation District, filling the role left vacant following the unexpected death of longtime superintendent Kri…

Garage Sports Game of the Week - Girls Basketball – Tecumseh at Bellefontaine

Brought to you by 4Sight Insurance and Financial Services and Eichholtz & Daring Funeral Homes & Cremation Center.

Both Bellefontaine and Tecumseh will be searching for momentum Wednesday night when they meet in Central Buckeye Conference girls basketball action.

The Chiefs enter the matchup at 2-14 overall, while Tecumseh comes in at 1-14. Each team has one victory in the Kenton Trail Division, making this a key opportunity for both sides to gain confidence as the season progresses.

Bellefontaine is led by Hailee Lamb, who is averaging 11.2 points per game. Mia Brown provides steady production with 6.4 points per contest while also pulling down four rebounds per outing.

Tecumseh has played much of the season without returning all-conference performer Sammy Russell, who has been sidelined since the third game of the year. In her absence, Rieley Lokai has emerged as the Arrows’ primary option, averaging nine points and 8.6 rebounds per game. Ava Loudenback has also been a consistent contributor, posting 7.1 points and 7.4 rebounds per contest.

The reserve game tips off at 6 p.m., with the varsity game to follow.

The Central Buckeye Conference is on the board in the CFP National Championship game! Isaiah Jones, a 2022 London Red Raiders graduate, picked up a blocked punt in the end zone to put the Indiana Hoosiers on top of the Miami Hurricanes 17-7 in the 3rd quarter.

Who else remembers the Dutch Mill? It exists only vaguely in my memory. I have way more questions than answers.
