Long time no see readers! It feels good to be back. I finally have an internet connection in my home, so it's time to update the boys NOL and MAL standings and give you all a bit of a heads up on what the Tiffin Columbian and Tiffin Calvert squads need to do, and who they may face moving forward in the state tournament.

After a tough 60-50 loss against New Riegel a week ago, Calvert forfeited a chance to control their own destiny in the Midland Athletic League. Most fans and supporters realize at this point, it's time to focus on the state playoff run, because as the season winds down, the Senecas have a very slim chance of winning the MAL championship. Calvert is deadlocked in second place with Old Fort at 7-2 in the league, as New Riegel has a strong hold on first place at 8-1. Calvert plays tonight vs Lakota, and you can hear that game live on AM 1600, Cool FM 93.3, or at wttf.com. After that they face Liberty-Benton to close up their season.
Sectional Drawing: Calvert will face Bettsville 4-14, (1-8 MAL), the game is 2/29 at 6:15 PM. The game is at Fostoria High School. If Calvert wins they will face the winner of Old Fort/Fostoria St. Wendelin.
Tiffin Columbian has fallen off over the last few games, and sits currently at 8-9 (3-5 NOL). TC kissed it's NOL title chances goodbye a long time ago, but don't get me wrong, this TC team has some talent. Players like Bryce Lonsway and Deker Kneeskern are having the best seasons of their respective playing careers, and this large senior group won't go out without a fight. You can listen to them live on Saturday night vs Fremont Ross on AM 1600, Cool FM 93.3, or online at www.wttf.com. Columbian finished out their season hosting Sandusky tonight, hosting Fremont Ross on Saturday night, and then heading to Norwalk. Norwalk at 17-0 (9-0 NOL) has a firm grip on the NOL title race moving forward.
Sectional Drawing: Tiffin Columbian starts its playoff run against Willard (9-8, 4-4 NOL), who they lost 74-70 to last week, and also beat them by 10+ earlier in the season. With a victory over Willard, TC would face the winner of Clear Fork and Shelby.
