Faber, Buchy
Recognize State Champion Football Teams
COLUMBUS – Ohio Senate President Keith Faber (R-Celina) and State
Representative Jim Buchy (R-Greenville) yesterday recognized the the
Marion Local and Minster High School football teams for capturing the
Ohio High School Athletic Association's 2014 state titles.
“The Midwest Athletic Conference once again delivered two more state
football championships,” Buchy said. “I was honored to recognize the
efforts of the players on the Minster and Marion Local Football
teams. These athletes have shown their superior nature.”
"This is the fourth year in a row that the Marion Local Flyers have
been state champions in Division VII for football. But these gentlemen
are not just athletes, they are truly scholars. Their overall team
G.P.A. is over 3.2. Marion Local is a National Blue Ribbon school of
distinction, one of the best in the country," said Faber.
Marion Local, coached by Tim Goodwin, won the 2014 Division VII state
title on December 6, 2014 by defeating Norwalk St. Paul 41-0 at Ohio
Stadium in Columbus. The Flyers outscored their opponents 656-88 this
season and currently hold a 37 game winning streak.
Addressing Minster coach Geron Stokes, Faber said, "These young men are
phenomenal, their team G.P.A. is 3.5. Coach, this is a great team, and
you've got to be proud of these young men. We compliment you and your
team on a great season. I ask them to continue doing great work
academically and continue to be mentors and leaders to all of the other
kids in the school district."
The Minster Wildcats won the 2014 Division VI state title on December
5, 2014 by defeating Kirkland High School 46-42 at Ohio Stadium in
Columbus. The state crown is Minster's first in football since 1989.
