A division championship could erase Indians’ choke performance in ‘05
CLEVELAND — With the Indians’ magic number at three and the team all but raising a banner for the Central Division championship, it would seem safe to put the 2005 season behind. Not that it didn’t follow the Indians to the bitter end. As Cleveland pulled into contention and appeared well on the [...]
Browns defense looking to toughen up
BEREA — The Browns’ offense hit on all cylinders Sunday and played fantastic football throughout a stirring 51-45 victory over Cincinnati. As good as Cleveland’s offense was against the Bengals, though, its defense was equally bad. The Browns gave up six touchdown passes to Cincinnati’s Carson Palmer one week after allowing Pittsburgh’s Ben [...]

AVON LAKE — Even Laurie Cogan admitted her Comets may have been sneaking a peak ahead when Amherst stepped on the court at Avon Lake for Thursday’s Southwestern Conference volleyball match. “As a coach and as players you should never look ahead,” Cogan said, “but let’s face it — it’s hard not to look [...]
Admiral King looking to begin a winning football tradition
LORAIN — Anthony Edwards and Tim Taylor were not even been born the last time Admiral King tasted a winning football season. None of the Admirals were. Those days are lost memories of a bygone era — dusty reminders from past generations. No one is trying to turn back the clock, said Edwards, [...]
Northwestern’s spread offense could cause Ohio State fits
COLUMBUS — It’s the yin and yang of college football: Northwestern’s spread vs. the Ohio State base 4-3 defense. Sometimes Northwestern puts four or five receivers in the pattern. At times the Wildcats have a full backfield and at other times there’s nobody there but the quarterback. No tight ends, then two of [...]
