Behind the scenes of the Brakeman Report
From the Wooster Daily Record:
Question: What person beside a coach or athlete has had the most impact on an Ohio high school sport over the last four decades?
Answer: One would be hard-pressed to find anyone who’s done more than Brian Brakeman has for wrestling in the Buckeye State.
Fans in one of the nation’s most passionate states for grappling are once again eagerly awaiting the “High School Wrestling Forecast,” more commonly known as the “Brakeman Report.”
When the 40th annual Brakeman Report is posted to the Internet in the next few days, the first thing most wrestlers, coaches, parents and fans in general will do is check out who’s ranked where.

TweetNo letdown for top-ranked Wooster
From the Daily Record:
GAMBIER — After a big comeback win against archrival Wittenberg last Saturday for The College of Wooster men’s basketball team, a road trip to Kenyon seemed like the perfect trap game. The Scots’ perimeter shooting, however, got past every obstacle the Lords’ defense set.
The Fighting Scots (19-0, 10-0 North Coast Athletic Conference) sprinted to a fast start Wednesday and never looked back, upending Kenyon (8-11, 4-6 NCAC) 103-67. The No. 1-ranked Scots shot 52 percent from the floor in the first half and 48 percent overall en route to the team’s best scoring night since the season opener.
“We did a good job scouting and preparing for their defense,” said guard Nathan Balch, who scored a game-high 22. “It was just one of those nights where the shots were going in.” Complete story.

TweetCoaches, others react to OHSAA proposal
From the Tribune Chronicle:
They may be the fiercest of rivals on the playing fields, but when it comes to sharing opinions on a recent proposal set forth by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, area coaches and school officials stand quite united.
“We need changes. I think that is obvious,” said Niles athletic director Marc Fritz. “I’m just not quite sure that the suggestions offered up by the OHSAA are the answer. I think the system needs tweaked, but the same can be said for this proposal.”
The proposal Fritz refers to is a recommendation from the OHSAA Competitive Balance Committee. Earlier this month, the committee adopted a new bylaw which will be voted on in May by OHSAA membership schools. If passed, the bylaw will change how high schools are assigned to divisions for tournament purposes.
