Lancaster high school athletes Kendall Brown, Molly Stedman, Harper Allen—and Brock Jarrett—signed their letter of intent to play college sports, marking a clear step forward in their athletic careers.

Four Fairfield Union football players earned Ohio Prep Sports Media Association All-Southeast District honors, with first-team selections quarterback Dean Clark, defensive lineman Zach Berry, and linebacker Grant McPherson alongside junior running back Lane Burkhardt receiving special mention.
