The game ended in a tie, which resulted in a 15-minute golden goal overtime; the first team to score would win. When that period ended scoreless, a second 15-minute golden goal overtime commenced. The exhausted teams continued to play with the same intensity and grit, but neither team scored. The next step in determining a winner is a penalty kick shootout. Both the Huskies and the Scotties made 4 out of 5 penalty shots and were still tied after the shoot-out. That brought about a sudden

death shoot-out. The Scotties missed their attempt, and then it was the Huskies’ turn. Mattern took the game’s final shot that put the Huskies on top 3-2 and gave them their first sectional win in four years. Huskies goalkeeper Yoho racked up 10 saves during the match. Head coach Gramling was beaming with pride for his Huskies. He commented, “We were even the whole game, and it came down to penalty kicks. That’s the worst way to end a game, but during tournament play, there has to be a winner. Tri-Valley played a great game.” He continued, “All of the memories of winning this game tonight will be so special for our team but especially for our seniors.” The Huskies play their next round in the tournament at Dover High School on Saturday, Oct. 23, at 11 a.m.

OHSP launches new driver safety program for teens COLUMBUS-Ohio State Highway Patrol Colonel Richard S. Fambro joined Ohio Traffic Safety Office Director Felice Moretti on Wednesday to announce the launch of a new educational program for youth and encourage parents to discuss the importance of driving safety with their young drivers. And National Teen Driver Safety Week was Oct. 17-23, which became the perfect opportunity to talk with teens about safe driving habits. But ultimately, the parents are in control. “We want everyone on our roadways to make it home safely,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “Parents can play a vital role by ensuring young drivers are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to make good driving decisions.” Since 2016, there have been 460 people killed on Ohio’s roadways in crashes involving a teen passenger vehicle driver (15-18 years old); 178 of the deaths were the teen driver. Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for teens in the United States. Nationally, in 2019, an estimated 92,000 teen drivers were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes, and an estimated 264,000 people were injured in crashes involving a teen driver, accounting for almost 10% of all those injured that year. “The loss of even one life on our roadways is too many,” said Colonel Fambro, superintendent of the Patrol. “By avoiding
dangers like driving distracted or impaired, obeying all traffic laws and speed limits, and ensuring everyone is buckled up, we can all make Ohio’s roadways safer.” DRIVE to Live is a new educational program launched by the Patrol to positively impact youth and engage in conversations about good decision-making. It is geared toward meeting teens where they are and listening with a shared interest in their future. The success of the program will result in impacting Ohio’s youth in a positive manner and building relationships between students and those in public safety. To schedule a presentation, call 614-752-2792 or email oshp@dps.ohio.gov. The Ohio Department of Public Safety’s “Teach your Teen to Drive” website offers parents and caregivers helpful tips and a framework for having discussions with their teen drivers about risky driving behaviors that can lead to fatal consequences. “Parents play a critical role in teen driver safety in their ability to consistently communicate important driving safety information,” said Moretti. “New teen drivers are still gaining experience behind the wheel, which increases the chance of dangerous situations for the teen and others around them.”
