This Saturday on Nov. 4 at Fortress Obetz and Memorial Park, three Highland County runners will be competing at the 2023 OHSAA State Cross-Country Championships.
It wasn’t easy for the Lynchburg-Clay Lady Mustangs and Fairfield Lady Lions, who battled cold and windy conditions, plus a quick sprinkle of snow on Halloween night, Tuesday, Oct. 31, in their Division III Regional Final game.
Though the outcome wasn’t what the Lynchburg-Clay Mustangs had hoped for, the team from Dodsonville played at a high level with high energy, but fell in their Division III SE District Semifinal game to the Northwest Mohawks, 4-0 Wednesday at Zane Trace.
Following 80 minutes of regulation soccer, including a 40-minute scoreless second half, all it took for the Fairfield Lady Lions was one final goal though it took a little long for the officials to make a ruling by Fairfield senior Kennedy Zink to crown the Lady Lions champions of the Southeast District for the first time in program history, defeating Minford, 2-1 at Valley High School.
The start of the 2023 postseason for the No. 1 seeded Lynchburg-Clay Lady Mustangs soccer team once again began with a dominant win on Wednesday night, defeating visiting No. 16 seeded Chesapeake, 11-0 in one half of soccer at LCHS.
