**Next In Line … With Ejuan Price asking for and receiving his release from Ohio State and then enrolling at Pitt, the Buckeyes could be in the market to take an additional linebacker in their 2012 recruiting class than they originally planned for. The Ohio State staff was looking at two in-state candidates at their Senior Advanced Camp on Saturday: Mason Monheim (Orrville, Ohio/Orrville) and Luke Roberts (Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster).The 6-foot-1 and 215-pound Monheim has scholarship offers from almost every school in the MAC plus Illinois. The 6-foot-2 and 225-pound Roberts has offers from Purdue, Indiana, Cincinnati and a few MAC schools.

The OSU staff has let Monheim and Roberts know they are in the process of evaluating the two. They could let them know in the next couple of weeks if they will offer a scholarship or not, or could let them know they are going to wait to watch them play their first few games of their senior seasons before making a decision. Right now Roberts is the bigger of the two but Monheim has the edge in speed and agility. Since there is no hurry, the staff will most likely wait for the 2011 season to unfold so they can re-evaluate the duo.

Scores of firefighters from eight departments responded at 4:20 a.m. Thursday to a huge blaze in the heart of Orrville’s downtown.
The fire started in Jerry’s Cafe & Bar, 226 W. Market St., and spread into Runion’s Furniture at 220 W. Market St.
Lt. Jeff Lorson, public information officer for the Orrville Fire Department, said city firefighters were on the scene within four minutes from the station two blocks away, but by the time they arrived flames at Jerry’s were through the roof.
According to Lorson, the cause of the fire at Jerry’s is not considered to be suspicious in nature, although it does remain under investigation.

It's always been the goal of the committee to involve the community in the nomination process. For several years the committee sponsored a full page nomination form inside the fall sports program. We never recieved a single nomination from that media so we stopped sponsoring it. Nomination forms are readily available at all HOF functions and to anyone who genuinely wants to nominate someone. Once nominated they are nominated for life. There is an old timers committee (or was one when I was a member) that considers for nomination anyone that has been a graduate for at least 40 years (i believe) or retired for 5 (coaches) that have not previously been nominated just prior to the election process. There is a great deal more work involved preparing for inductions than most people realize.

Expectations are good...."pressure is a privilege" when an Orrville Red Rider I don't care what the sport. Tough schedule out of the gate. NW has one of their better teams in a while, Copley has all their skill back, Lex has three D I recruits and transfer Deon Bellamy the speedster from Clear Fork. we get a couple wins from that group and we are on a good start.
