College options for Mason’s Melnick
Mason High senior Hilliary Melnick is a two-sport standout in volleyball and basketball.
In volleyball, Melnick was the GMC’s top setter with 677 assists, while on the hardwood, the 5-foot-8 guard is the Comets’ best 3-pointer shooter.
That’s led her to receive college attention for both sports.
John Carroll University, North Central College, Marietta College, Lynchburg College and Wittenberg University have all shown interest in Melnick in either one or both sports. She also has visited Bellarmine University.

Lakota West’s Cox weighs in on Bailie’s resignation
With Greg Bailie resigning as head football coach at Lakota East on Tuesday, Nov. 17, that leaves Lakota West’s Larry Cox as the longest-tenured coach in the Greater Miami Conference.
Bailie came to Lakota in 1993 and took over the East program in ‘97 when the school split into East and West. Cox has been at West since the school’s inception.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for Greg,” Cox said. “Greg ran a clean program. His teams were always fundamentally sound. You were going to have to beat them to win the game. They weren’t going to give you anything. I felt like he was definitely a respected opponent.”
