Old Fort Local School District

This week in Stockader sports- The golf team started on Monday with tough losses to SMCC and Lakota by a total of 3 strokes! Tuesday the Jr H VB teams both won vs New Riegel, but couldn't keep up with Calvert on Thursday for both teams to go 1-1 on the season. The 9th, JV, and Varsity VB were all in action as well Tuesday @ NR with the 9th and JV getting wins, and the Varsity taking a tough 4 set loss. Soccer was in action twice this week taking two tough losses to Clyde and Ada. Isaac Snyder did score 2 goals vs Ada, with an assist by Isiah Perez. XC will be running at Seneca East on Saturday, VB will be at Willard, and Jr H VB will be home playing Fostoria in the OF High School Gym at 10AM. Good luck to all our athletes tomorrow!

Great start to the Stockader Cross Country season with the HS Boys, HS Girls, and MS Boys all taking 1st place at the Willard Invite. In the girls race Macie Miller took 1st place, followed by Cameran Cleveland in 2nd, and Ryanne Benner in 3rd! The boys were paced by Clayton Dymond taking 3rd. Great job everyone!

We're off to a great start on Day 1! I spent considerable time at the elementary and high school today. Both buildings are up and running smoothly. We have a few bumps to work out, mostly with transitioning students to and from lunch/recess. But, overall, we had a great start! Thanks to everyone for their continued patience and support. I am really proud of our staff and students! Well done, everyone! -Laura Bryant

The Stockader golf team had another good week, starting 5-1 in league play! On Wednesday they defeated H-L and Calvert shooting a respectable 169, with Andrew Combs taking medalist honors with a 39. Soccer gets underway tonight visiting Tiffin Columbian and the girls volleyball team plays its first match Saturday evening at Calvert! Good luck to everyone, and stay safe!

The new order from the Ohio Department of Health, and Governor DeWine, has been released which has allowed all sports to move forward but has drastically limited spectator attendance. To stay in compliance with the new order, a limited number of tickets will only be offered to players' families. The district will not be able to honor season passes, including the Golden Senior Pass, or sell tickets at the gate. We apologize for this inconvenience, but in order for our student athletes to have a season we must comply with the new order.

We are still waiting for the written order from the Ohio Dept of Health which will be out by tomorrow at noon. All fall sports will be moving forward, but how those sports will be played and what spectators will be allowed are still in question. We hope to release an overall plan tomorrow evening with sports starting on Friday night with Soccer at Tiffin and VB at Calvert on Saturday.

The Stockader Golf Team has been busy again this week, placing 6th out of 14 teams on Wednesday at the Woodmore Invitational. The day was highlighted by Andrew Combs shooting a 79 to place 6th individually!

Fall Sports- we are still waiting on guidance from the Governor's Office and the Ohio Department of Health pertaining to contact and non-contact sports. This guidance will also relate to spectators at events. This is suppose to be released on 8/18/20. Once we determine our plan coincides with the state's guidelines it will be released immediately. This will also cover the procedure for tickets/spectators. Thank you for your patience during this time.
