Reynoldsburg Roundup: Raiders boys track and field team expecting depth to be a strength
ThisWeek group
During seasons such as 2016 when it was the Division I state runner-up and in 2019 when it finished fourth in its league but won a district championship, the Reynoldsburg boys track and field team leaned on what coach Richard Ladowitz calls “top-notch athletes” who could score in multiple events.
Although the Raiders potentially have a standout distance runner in senior Marsellis Davis, who is a two-time state qualifier in cross country, they aren’t expecting to be one-dimensional this spring.
“Overall boys-wise, I’ve been impressed,” Ladowitz said. “We’ve had some good depth or the first time in a long time. This year we have a lot of depth and more sprinters than I thought we’d ever have. We had about 15 kids (participate in the indoor season this winter) and a lot of the distance kids did their running club and didn’t compete indoors.”
BUFORD – From the opening kickoff, this one was over.
Buford (11-1) used a relentless defensive attack, a grinding rushing game and a few on-target passes to roar past Langston Hughes (11-2) 44-15 in the quarterfinals of the Class 6A playoffs at Tom Riden Stadium on Friday.
It s the Wolves second straight semifinal appearance, first-ever in Class 6A, and 12th time in the past 14 seasons going back to 2007.
Buford coach Bryant Appling was relieved after the game but was also all smiles as he leads the Wolves into another historic accomplishment this season. I m just proud of these kids, all the stuff they ve gone through, proud of these coaches and proud of this community, he said. We ve jumped up [classifications] four times since I ve been here and each time we re like, oh man, I don t know. But each year we find a way to keep winning . keep playing. The kids are grinding and are not scared of anything right now.
