It will be wonderful because it will be the kids' last day as well,'' said Lakota Central Principal Ann Mickey. I told my fourth graders that we will walk out together.

This afternoon at Findlay High School, Gibsonburg and Old Fort will tangle in a Division IV regional semifinal. The winner plays Saturday against Thursday's winner in the Edon-Lima Perry game. St. Wendelin took a lead it would never relinquish with a run in each of the first two innings, ending the season with a 5-4 Midland Athletic League win over Seneca East. Sean Reiter got the win for SW to improve to 3-3, and also doubled and singled with a run and an RBI at the plate. In a complete game effort, Reiter struck out four and walked five.
