Fremont Ross Bowlers Battle Through Busy Week of League Play

It was a couple nights of action for the Fremont Ross boys and girls bowling programs, as both teams competed on back-to-back nights in league matchups on Monday and Tuesday. The stretch showcased improvement, resilience, and some impressive individual and team performances.

Boys Continue to Grow Through Tough Competition

Coach Larrick noted that the boys team is “improving on a daily basis” and working hard to sharpen their spare shooting. Despite their progress, the Little Giants dropped both matches—falling to perennial league powerhouse Napoleon and the always competitive Oregon Clay. The boys now sit at 4–3 overall.

Across the two nights, John Covert and Zayne Jacobs were the models of consistency.

Covert: 179–334 on Monday and 183–357 on Tuesday

Jacobs: 176–339 on Monday and a strong 209–355 on Tuesday

Aidyn Goatee also delivered a highlight, rolling a 190 game against Oregon Clay.

Girls Stay Hot, Set More Records, and Earn a Big Win

The Fremont Ross girls team continued their remarkable rise, once again showing they can compete with anyone. On Monday, the girls dropped a hard-fought match to Napoleon, 2020–2241, but turned in strong individual scores from: Abby Stachowiak: 219–382, Makaiya Finley: 169–317, Autumn Sanchez: 171–310, Breanna Rhea: 165–296.

Even in defeat, the team rewrote the season highs—again. They set new marks for high Baker game (188), high Baker series (517), and a new team high series (2020). (A Baker game is a team format where five athletes rotate through frames of a single 10-frame game, each contributing two frames to produce one combined score.)

Coach Larrick praised the girls rapid rise, saying, “Everyone should come and watch the improvement of the girls team! It’s been remarkable. They took the momentum into the Tuesday match.”

On Tuesday, the momentum paid off. The Lady Giants edged out Oregon Clay, 1787–1780, improving to 5–1 on the season. Top scores included: Makaiya Finley: 195–323 and Abby Stachowiak: 144–284.

It was a true team victory. Ross held a 12-pin lead entering the final Baker game, but Clay posted a 150, putting pressure on the Little Giants. Fremont Ross needed a 138 to win—and they delivered a 143 to secure the seven-pin victory. The pins were falling just right at Plaza Lanes.

Looking ahead with consistent growth from the boys and a blazing start from the girls, Fremont Ross bowling is building strong momentum as the season unfolds. As Coach Larrick would say—keep it rolling, and make your spares!

Fremont Ross Swim Teams Shine at Home Tri-Meet

The Fremont Ross boys and girls swim and dive teams took to the water last night at the Hawk-Bucci Natatorium, turning in an impressive early-season performance in front of their home crowd.

The Lady Giants continued their strong start by defeating both Findlay (94–71) and Old Fort (106–6). On the boys side, the Little Giants split the meet—falling to Findlay in a tight 86–89 finish, but powering past Clyde with a dominant 118–18 victory. With these results, both teams now stand at 3–1 on the season.

Coach Phil Moran named Matthew Biddle and Aubrey Pfotenhauer as the evening’s Swimmers of the Meet, recognizing their standout performances and leadership.

Coach Moran attributed the team’s overall success to discipline, preparation, and consistency. “We had some really strong swims tonight—even some of the boys swimming faster than they did at OSU this weekend,” he said. “We were prepared, relaxed, and ready to perform.” He noted that sticking to a set routine on Monday and Tuesday, along with a long warm-up practice before the meet, helped the athletes enter competition with confidence and focus.

Next up for the Little Giants is Senior Night on December 16th, when Fremont Ross hosts Oregon Clay and Toledo Whitmer at the Hawk-Bucci Natatorium.

Lady Giants Show Heart in Hard-Fought Battle Against Perrysburg

The Fremont Ross girls basketball team returned to the Purple Pit on Tuesday night to take on a competitive Perrysburg squad. Early on, the game lived up to expectations as both teams traded baskets in a tightly contested opening quarter.

Midway through the second quarter, however, the momentum shifted. The Lady Giants struggled to find the bottom of the net while the Yellow Jackets began to connect on their shots, allowing Perrysburg to build separation heading into halftime. Coming out of the break, the Jackets stayed hot, and the Lady Giants faced an uphill climb as the lead grew.

But Fremont Ross refused to back down.

Late in the third quarter, energy surged through the Purple Pit as the Lady Giants sparked a furious comeback. What had been a 20-point deficit was cut all the way down to five, thanks to an impressive burst on both ends of the floor. Though the rally fell just short, the team showed tremendous resilience in a 49–41 home loss.

The second half surge was fueled by Charity Crowe, who provided a major spark. Her aggressive drives, smooth floaters, and athletic finishes helped swing momentum back toward Fremont Ross. Freshman Brynn Ward once again demonstrated why she’s emerging as a force, igniting the crowd with several left-handed blocks and contributing 14 points.

Freshman Sarai Oman also stepped up in a big way, scoring 11 points—all in the fourth quarter—as the Lady Giants made their late push.

Despite the loss, the team’s effort, grit, and determination were on full display, leaving plenty to build on moving forward.

Next up, the Lady Giants hit the road this Friday, December 12th, to take on Springfield.

Keep competing, Lady Giants!

Fremont Ross Wrestling Programs Open Their Seasons With Strong Performances

The Fremont Ross girls and boys wrestling teams officially kicked off their seasons this past weekend, each hitting the road and showing early promise at their respective tournaments.

Girls Place 3rd Out of 25 Teams at Highland High School

The girls traveled to Marengo, Ohio on Sunday to compete at Highland High School, turning in an impressive 3rd-place team finish out of 25 schools. It was a strong opening statement for a program that continues to grow and establish itself among the region’s best.

Coach Jen Long was pleased with the team’s effort, sharing, “Ladies wrestled well today for the first tournament of the season. We did a lot of good things and we did some things that we need to work on and correct to get better. Overall it was a great competitive day for the ladies.”

Key performers for the Little Giants included:

1st Place: Nayeli Vasquez (125)

2nd Place: Malaya Hughes (100), Kailani Long (105), Jaiden Long (120), Keyonna Vann (235)

With a strong foundation laid on opening weekend, the girls will get back to work with their focus on continued growth and steady improvement in the practice room.

Boys Earn 5th Place at the Battle by the Lake

The boys team headed east to Madison High School to compete in the Battle by the Lake Tournament, where they battled through a challenging field—despite missing five weight classes—and still earned a 5th-place finish.

Coach Hetrick noted that there is room to grow, but he is confident the team will make strides as they continue to put in hard work each day. He shared, “Even with missing five weight classes, the team finished solid, taking 5th place. Aidan Autullo, 5-0 with three tech falls and two pins, was our only champion. Freshman Kolin Metcalf went 2-2 with a 4th-place finish and was another top performer. Lincoln Ollom and Nathan Craig also performed outstanding—just a few little things they have to clean up. Overall, it comes down to preparing better in the practice room. A few mental mistakes and some technical mistakes that we have to clean up.”

Senior Night & Alumni Night Set for Thursday, December 11

Both programs now look ahead to a special evening this Thursday, December 11, as Fremont Ross will host Senior Night for its boys and girls wrestlers. The event will also include an Alumni Night, and all former Fremont Ross wrestlers are invited to attend and be recognized.

It is shaping up to be a memorable night in the Purple Pit as the Little Giant wrestling community comes together to celebrate past and present.

Good luck to both teams as they continue their seasons—go Little Giants!

Lady Giants Earn Road Win at Oregon Clay

The Fremont Ross Lady Giants traveled to Oregon Clay and put together a solid all-around performance, earning a 57–24 victory. A composed and energetic first half helped the team establish control early, highlighted by a 27–0 run that set the pace for the rest of the night.

The freshman duo of Brynn Ward and Sarai Oman continued to impress, scoring 21 and 12 points respectively. Karina Hensinger added 7 points, contributing to a balanced offensive effort and steady play throughout the lineup.

Coach Vela appreciated the team’s growth and chemistry, noting:
“The girls are buying in and are fun to coach. We’re happy with the way we’re coming together, but we know there is still work to be done.”

With the win, the Lady Giants move to 2–1 on the season as they return home to the Purple Pit tonight to take on Perrysburg. The Junior Varsity game begins at 6 PM, followed by varsity action.

Come out and support the Lady Giants as they look to build on their early progress.

Little Giants Show Fight in Season Opener at The Purple Pit

The Fremont Ross boys basketball team tipped off their season at home in the Purple Pit against a strong Perrysburg squad. The Little Giants came out ready, battling through a tight, physical first half that saw them trail by just two points at the break.

But the third quarter told a different story. A handful of early turnovers opened the door for Perrysburg, who caught fire offensively and created a gap that made a comeback difficult. Despite the swing in momentum, Fremont Ross refused to fold. The Little Giants regrouped and came out energized in the fourth quarter, showing grit and determination, but ultimately fell by a score of 68–45.

Senior Braylon Jordan led the way with 10 points, reaching double figures in the opener. Freshman Jake Cahill made an immediate impact in his first varsity appearance, stuffing the stat sheet with 8 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks, bringing the Purple Pit crowd to its feet multiple times.

Head Coach John Cahill acknowledged both the positives and the areas for growth:
“A two-point game at half got away from us in the 3rd. We turned the ball over a lot, and against a top team you can’t afford those. We will continue to improve and be a tough team to beat.”

The Little Giants now have a few days to reset before hitting the road on December 16th to take on Bowling Green.

The season is just beginning—stay tuned as the Little Giants continue to grow and compete.

Fremont Ross Bowling Off to a Red-Hot Start

The Fremont Ross boys and girls bowling teams have opened their seasons on fire, combining early momentum with strong individual performances and outstanding team chemistry.

The boys program sits at 4–1, picking up a convincing win over Eastwood by a score of 2000–1766. It was a complete team victory, highlighted by a standout day from Paton Gibbs, who posted scores of 192–312. Michael McKeen also delivered, rolling a 184 in his first match of the night and helping secure the Little Giants’ fourth win of the season.

Not to be outdone, the Fremont Ross girls team remains undefeated at 4–0 and continues to raise the bar. In their most recent outing, the girls were nothing short of spectacular, setting new team records for both a single game (833) and team series (1991).
Leading the charge were:

Abby Stachowiak: 190–336

Autumn Sanchez: 194–326

Kenzie Schwochow: 171–303

Coach Larrick praised the group’s exceptional effort, noting the focus, consistency, and energy that have defined their early-season success.

Up next, both teams will take on NLL opponent Napoleon at Plaza Lanes on December 8th.

Keep it rolling, Little Giants—and make your spares!
