Division 3 Wooster Bracket - Canton Region Bracket - Division 3 - All Divisions
The Orrville boys team drew the 6 seed in what appears to be a wide open district. Orrville opens with Chippewa on 2/29 (leap day) at 6pm and if they're able to win that game, it's possible they may not face another Wayne County team the entire tournament.
Number one seed Norwayne was just defeated by Wellington (Lorain County) in regular season play, who according to OhioBasketball.net is 17-2 on the season. Any team from out of the area will be an unknown to area fans, but 17 wins is 17 wins.
It's also possible that no Wayne County teams will meet in the finals...something that hasn't happened since Loudonville (Ashland County) beat Manchester (Summit County) in 2004. The only legit district finalist possibilities from Wayne County are Norwayne and Orrville. No disrespect to Smithville, but I don't see them stringing together 3 wins over Clearview, then Hillsdale, and then probably Orrville or Loudonville to get there.
Elyria Catholic and Orrville play the toughest schedules in the district, and both will come in with losing records. Will those tough schedules pay off?
Should be a great tournament as always, but something will be missing with Triway moving up to Division 2 and playing their district at the Fieldhouse over in Canton.

The Lady Riders ended the regular season 15-5 but lost 2 of their final 3. Their 5 losses were all to good teams (twice each to West Holmes and Wooster, and once to Canton Central Catholic) so no shame in those, but somewhere along the tournament trail, they're going to meet good teams and they have to figure out how to win those games.
They open tourney play on Weds. 2/22 at 7:45 vs. Chippewa and then play Loudonville on the 25th. I think they win both of those games handily and their first real test will be against (assuming) Dalton in the district semifinals.
The winner of the CCC/Smithville game will most likely be waiting in the district finals and the Riders would love a chance to defend their district title.
Wrestling
Garfield Heights District Pairings (Orrville Wrestlers in 106, 152, 170 & 285 weight classes).
Four Orrville wrestlers will look to advance to the state tournament this weekend in Garfield Heights. Alex Tschiegg (106), Brad Potter (152), Trevor White (170) and Ronnie Lehtomaki (285) will all be looking to secure the 6th straight berth in the state tournament by a Rider grappler.
Results should be posted here starting Friday.
Swimming
Last but not least, OHS junior Madison Monheim made it back-to-back appearances in the state swimming meet as she qualified for the 200 yd. freestyle by finishing 4th at districts and also the 500 yd. freestyle where she finished 6th at districts.
She is seeded 12th in the 200 and 16th in the 500. She will swim in Canton's Branin Natatorium this Thursday at 5pm (prelims) and in the finals on Friday also at 5pm. Keep an eye on my Twitter page Thursday and Friday for results as I get them.
This is the 4th straight year that Orrville has sent at least 1 swimmer to the state meet. Quite an accomplishment.
