Athletic News! Big Red Recap: The varsity baseball and softball teams played through the rain drops on Tuesday night as they hosted Western Reserve and celebrated senior nights at both fields. The baseball team completed the season sweep of the Roughriders with a 6-2 win behind a strong effort on the mound from Lincoln Distl and some timely hitting and baserunning. The win makes it two in a row and improves them to 11-9 overall and 8-5 in conference play. They will be back in action tomorrow at home against Mapleton rounding out conference play. The softball team bounced back from a loss to the Roughriders on Monday night with a 10-7 win on senior night as they got the offense going with several timely hits late in the game. The win puts an end to a long losing streak and improves them to 6-17 overall and 3-11 in the conference. They will head into tournament play tomorrow at Seneca East in the sectional finals.

Big Red Family! The Middle School is celebrating teacher appreciation week this week, and I wanted to personally let the Plymouth, Shiloh, and Rome communities know that they are so very fortunate to have an incredible staff from every teacher, cafeteria worker, aide, secretary, guidance team, SRO, janitor/ maintenance crew, nurse, and A.D. I have a chance to observe them all over the year, and let me tell you, I challenge anyone to find a more dedicated TEAM than the one we have here. Mr. Turson has fostered an environment that has always put your child’s well being first, and this staff goes so far beyond to do this that it would be easy to overlook because they do it daily. I want to celebrate them all! Our community should be very proud of all of them. Go Big Red - Mr Genders.
