Discussions about the lousy weather that we have been experiencing and its effect on grain harvest is the current “hot topic” in the farming community these days. Stress levels are running high and you can understand why. Yield potential for this crop is very good and farmers can’t get the crop out of the field. A delay in grain harvest means a delay or, in some cases, an elimination of wheat planting.

McClain Tiger football coach Bob Watts, now in his third year, knew that his 1962 team would be one of the smaller teams in the SCOL. A couple of years earlier, when the Tigers featured big tackles Roger  Grooms and Lee Morehead, they could do it with brute force. Now, they hoped to be able to finesse opponents. They did have some  speedy ball carriers, most notably 150-pound halfback Jim Coleman and 160-pound sophomore Ralph Nooks, who would do the kicking.

GREENFIELD – The McClain Tigers are hurting by battling injuries and illnesses, but they aren’t out.

BAINBRIDGE – Coming of their first win in recent weeks, the Paint Valley Bearcats look to make it two wins in a row as they travel to face the Unioto Sherman-Tanks in a Scioto Valley Conference contest this Friday night.

The Hillsboro Indians are making a late playoff push with two games remaining in the regular season as they are set to face South Central Ohio League rival Miami Trace at Richards Memorial Field.
