Rightnowar named Old Newsboys Player of Year
Toledo Christian quarterback and Oregon resident Nick Rightnowar has been named the Old Newsboys Hilton Murphy High School Football Player of the Year.
Rightnowar, a two-time Toledo Area Athletic Conference POY, completed 155-of-248 passes for 3,033 yards and 38 touchdowns with only five interceptions his senior year. He helped TC win its first outright TAAC championship and its second Division IV playoff appearance in four years, and Rightnowar holds the state record for consecutive completions (30).
Injuries at Eastwood
It wasn’t exactly an uplifting offseason for the Eastwood girls’ basketball team, who lost two key returning players, Hannah Hirzel and Stephany Bockbrader, to potentially season-ending injuries.
Hirzel, a junior guard who averaged seven points, four assists and three rebounds a year ago, will miss the season with a torn ACL. Bockbrader, a senior post, could miss the entire season after suffering a partially torn labrum in her shoulder.

“Hannah was probably one of our top two best players coming back,” Coach Shaun Briggs said. “She was one of three players coming back from last year and would have been a starting shooting guard for us. We’re losing a lot of experience (six seniors), so we are filling in with a lot of jayvee players from a year ago.”
Peer to Columbus State
Wednesday morning, Cardinal Stritch High School hosted representatives from Columbus State Community College who signed senior volleyball player Megan Peer to an athletic scholarship. Her hard work on and off the volleyball court has been a constant for the Cardinals over the last four years, say Stritch coaches.
According to Peer, “I am very excited to further my volleyball career by playing in college. Also, I feel Columbus State is a good fit for me and I am looking forward to my future there.”
