Sked put on ice

Mother Nature’s wrath has direct impact on prep events

It took a while, but Mother Nature finally flexed some of her many muscles on the area’s high school sports schedule.

With all area schools being closed Tuesday because of heavy snow, high winds and frigid temperatures, all 10 games (7 boys, 3 girls) on the area schedule for Tuesday were postponed.

As of Tuesday night, we’ve received notice of three makeup dates:

  • Grand Valley at Pymatuning Valley boys — Friday, Feb. 9.
  • Edgewood at Jefferson boys — Friday, Feb. 22.
  • Lakeside at Lake Catholic boys — Saturday, 6:30 p.m.

By 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, all Ashtabula County schools — save for Ashtabula Area City Schools — had already closed buildings for today, meaning even more rescheduled events will be forthcoming.

Area athletic directors and coaches are asked to please report makeup dates to us as soon as possible, either by email at sports@starbeacon.com and donmac@suite224.net, fax at 998-7939 or the old-fashioned way — the telephone, at 998-2323 (ext. 244).

  • Alex Give him an Oscar!

    For the first three years of his football career with the Grand Valley Mustangs, offensive lineman Alex Oscar said he viewed playing football as more of a job than a fun sport to play.
    Then, during his senior year, the Mustangs finished 7-3 and won a Northeastern Athletic Conference title under first-year coach John Glavickas and Oscar suddenly started viewing the game as fun again.

  • AB1 Goal: Be a Pioneer... literally

    Jefferson graduate Ariann Barile doesn’t have plans to rule the world — yet. She has, however, put herself on a path to accomplish that goal if she so decides, by choosing to attend Marietta College and play softball for the Pioneers in the fall.

  • Farmer Burns Farmer Burns — Ashtabula’s first major leaguer

    Third of a series...

    Two weeks ago today, one of the first man born in the city of Ashtabula to play in a Major League Baseball game celebrated his 137th birthday.
    Then again, odds are, he wasn’t around to blow out the candles at such an age, but no one is sure.
    For while we know James Joseph Burns was born on June 2, 1876 in Ashtabula, there is no record of his death.
    Anywhere.
