Farm Aid Grant The Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) received a $7,000 grant from Farm Aid to support policy advocacy on behalf of sustain- able and organic family-scaled farms, in recognition of the benefi ts they provide to the environment and rural communities. “We are both grateful and proud to receive this support from Farm Aid, with whom we share a passion for keeping family farmers on the land,” said OEFFA Executive Director Carol Goland. Farm Aid’s grantmaking is focused on work that enhances the viability of family farm agriculture in the United States. This grant will allow OEFFA to continue to protect and advance or- ganic agriculture, advocate for policies that elevate agriculture’s contributions to solving climate change, and work for policies that preserve farmland and make it more accessible to new farm- ers.

By J. Patrick Eaken Press Sports Editor [email protected]

Clay wrestling has won seven of eight Three Rivers Athletic Conference champi- onships, and the Eagles will be going for eight of nine this year. The only thing is, the rest of the TRAC seems to be keeping pace. “We are hoping fi nish in the top half of our conference and be competitive,” ninth- year coach Ralph Cubberly said. “I think we have a well balanced league this season with eight well-coached teams. When you go to our conference championship you need to have all your wrestlers clicking on all cylinders to win the championship. “Our team’s strength is its experience and work ethic. We had a great summer training cycle and the kids worked hard, gained experience and improved their men- tal toughness. We learned how to win close matches and hopefully all these lessons transfer to this season,” Cubberly continued. “While we have fi ve seniors, in the other nine weight classes I have four soph- omores, two freshmen and three juniors. A lot of these guys are new in the varsity lineup and will be tested on our Gold Team schedule.” Clay wrestler Dominico Migliori turns over a Wauseon opponent. (Photo by Rich Wagner) Returning are four state qualifi ers, in- cluding Jacob Moon, who placed third at 113 pounds in Division I and fi nished the season 48-5. Other returnees qualifying were Tony Pendergraff (106 pounds, 31- 15), Jacob Meek (170, 42-11) and Ty Cobb (195, 42-11). Alex Szigeti, who placed eighth at 145 pounds and fi nished 38-18, is one of three lost to graduation. The other two are Troy Murphy (160, 36-16) and Josh Nagy (182, 40-13). The returnees are among 20 lettermen back from a team that fi nished 26-2 last year. Ninth-year coach Ralph Cubberly says his wrestlers are “hard working and very dedicated,” which leads to a quality season year-in and year-out. Meek (220) and Pendergraff (120) are seniors this year, Moon (113) is a junior and Cobb (195) a sophomore. They are joined by seniors Austin Thompson (126), Kameron Miller (152) and Ben Richmond (285), juniors Mike Daly (132) and Gabe Walentowski (138) and sophomores Dominico Migliori (145) and Tyler Weseman (160). Daly, 28-14 last year, was a state qualifi er in 2018. Thompson was 25-20 last year, Walentowski 33-5, Migliori 36-3, Miller 32-17, and Richmond 28-19. Clay wrestler Micah Medina works to get a pin.
