Athletic News! Big Red Weekend Recap: The Big Red football and cross country teams were both in action on Saturday night as the football team traveled to take on Fremont St. Joes and the cross country teams competed in the annual Stars, Stripes, and Lights Invite at Seneca East. It was a rough night for the Big Red in Fremont as they played shorthanded and down 2-3 starters for most of the night. St. Joes scored the first two TD's on the night to take a 14-0 lead early in the game before the Big Red got on the board with a Weston Kamann to Lincoln Distl TD pass and run. The Big Red added the 2 point conversion to make it 14-8. St. Joes would score again on their next drive before Distl converted another long run into a TD and the Big Red would add another conversion to make the score 20-16. It was all St. Joes from that point on as the Big Red defense could not slow down the Crimson Streaks rushing attack en route to the 66-16 final score. The Big Red drop to 1-3 overall on the season and 1-2 in Northern 8 conference play and will be back on the road this week at Sebring Mckinley. The Big Red cross country teams competed in one of the signature cross country events in this area in the Seneca East Stars, Stripes, and Lights event under the lights on Saturday night. The HS boys finished in 18th place as a team and were led by Carter Jester's 70th place finish. Weston Smith took 143rd, Levi Foley 156th, Trevor Furr 193rd, Luke Kelbley 210th, and Gabe Tackett 222nd to complete the scoring for the boys. For the HS girls, Anna Caughenbaugh led the way finishing in 122nd place while Audrey Smith took 168th and Grace Edwards took 221st. Grant Helms (32nd) and Noah Fazzini (76th) competed for the MS boys. The teams will be back in action this Saturday at the Lakota Myron Cline Invite. Thank you Kennedy Greenawalt for the pictures! 🤩
