Ray Small

Ohio State receiver and punt returner Ray Small has been suspended in what his father describes as heavy-handed and unfair treatment on the part of coaches.

Ken Small says his son is out for two games for missing a class, a charge he says his son denies. An athletic department spokesman says the suspension is for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Small's father said in interviews published Thursday that he thinks Ohio State is intentionally trying to ruin his son's career.

Buckeye Hilliker swimmers traveled this past weekend to the Great White North Invitational in Celina.

Amy Fulmer had a 12^th place finish.

Macy Arn also had an impressive showing with 3^rd, 8^th, and 10^th place finishes.

Facing a team they beat last year in the opening round of the playoffs, West Liberty-Salem went to Waynesville Saturday night on 98.3 WPKO. 

This year's result was drastically different as the Spartans used home field advantage and surprised the Tigers 34-9 knocking them out of the playoffs.

Waynesville used several big plays to score with touchdowns of 65, 26, 69 and 46 yards.
