and his potential move from linebacker to defensive end after playing some DE last Saturday at Rutgers.
@OhioStateFB
Congrats to
@Trevor_Dials
the first golfer from Lex’s fine boys program to make it to the state since ‘86. That’s hard to believe but Lex has always fought being a small DI school. Congrats to

making it as a team led by co-medalist Tyler Sabo.

coach Ryan Day on Cade Stover
@cstov8
moving from DE/LB to tight end: “Cade, when you look at his skill set, his basketball background and his spatial awareness ... his toughness, we think that he projects into being a really good tight end.”

Went to the gym, found the one TV showing the game, climbed on an elliptical with 3 minutes left in the third quarter and vowed not to get off until the game was over and the

It’s borderline criminal that Lexington’s Cade Stover cstov8 and Willard’s Devon Triplett
@davontriplett42
are on the same team. See for yourself in Friday’s 41st News Journal All-Star…
@JakeFurr11
I’m the one who should be thanking you Jake! You bring so much passion to your job. Plymouth was lucky to have you as an athlete. Entire area lucky to have you as a sports writer/photojournalist/social media dynamo. This is just the start. Enjoy the ride. I know you will.

Cade Stover (27) and Kyle Johnson (21) combine for 47 pts as Lex busts open tie game at halftime to beat Ontario 72-48. Stover also had 23 rebounds. School record?

coach Ryan Day on Cade Stover’s decision to move to TE: “Talking it through, in the end it was (his) decision. It wasn't ours. And I think if you own the decision, then you are more likely to embrace it more and to run with it.”

@cstov8
What a crazy drive.
#OSU
loses its QB and then its left tackle (temporarily), gets called for back-to-back false starts and still marches 78 yards in 11 plays, sparked by backup QB Dwayne Haskins.
I get wanting to give Mack the chance to play his way out of his funk, but at this point
#OSU
with the depth of its receiving corps should probably give him the rest of the night off.

Santa Spence was very impressed with this list put together by his ol' sidekick Jake Furr, whose heart for area sports and athletes is even bigger than his 6-foot-7 frame! A must-read to make your Christmas merry and bright!
