The OHSBCA announced its Academic Team Award winners today.
Miller City was second for the boys with a team GPA of 3.98 and Wapakoneta was fifth with a 3.92 GPA
Continental came in second for the girls, with a 4.0 GPA and Kalida was fifth with a team GPA of 3.99
Welcome to the first of my probably many rants on those who award but don't really watch Girls basketball:
Kalida finishes 18-7, goes to a regional final and has maybe the state's toughest schedules in D7
Meredith Bockrath and Addison Huber are only HM? Come on now
Congratulations to the 7th Grade Girls and coaches on winning the Putnam County League Championship today with a 29-17 win over Ottawa Elementary! #WildcatPRIDE

Kalida scores 4 in the top of the 7th and hang on to punch their ticket to the @AcmeCongress state tournament. @KalidaBaseball s Griffin Klausing had a one out 3 run double in the 7th and Parker Vorst made a spectacular diving catch in left field to end the game.
🎓 SCHOLAR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK 🏃♀️

"I always wanted to be a 4.0 student and knowing that I achieved that finally, is amazing & awesome,” the Kalida senior told me. "I just want people to remember me as somebody who likes to have fun.” #YNNSports
Coaches, this kid is a true diamond in the rough. Not a big AAU team, doesn't play for a big HS, none of that. She's a winner though, phenomenal kid, and someone that's been completely overlooked by at least the NAIA/D2 level.
Pop open this film and you won't be disappointed!
