Voters in Auglaize County will see no contested partisan races in the May 5 primary election, but levies in six school districts will be on the ballot.
The Jan. 29 death of a Montezuma man has been ruled the result of a traffic accident, making it Mercer County's first traffic fatality of the year.
A local man faces charges of operating a vehicle under the influence, resisting arrest, no operator's license and three counts of driving under suspension following a traffic stop Saturday night in Coldwater.
HARROD - Allen East High School hosted a pair of Division II sectional finals and the fans in attendance were treated to two very different games.
VAN WERT - It took three quarters for St. Henry to shake off the Coldwater defense and pull away to capture a Division III sectional title with a 51-44 win over the Cavaliers at The Cougar Den in Van Wert.
DELPHOS - It isn't easy for a coach to find solace in any loss, let alone a fourth straight defeat.
However, for Celina boys basketball head coach Chris Bihn, a 67-64 loss on the road to a very good Delphos St. John's team on Saturday isn't nearly as upsetting as the recent play by his Bulldogs.
