Post-2- Boys' Regional finals-

There's a picture of the worst ref also! He definitely had a problem with the Green & White!

03/19/2026

It is with a heavy heart, that this is the last post for our Polar Bear boys' basketball season. Our boys played an intense and physical game against Columbus Academy, as they fought back with 2 OT's to fall short 59-62.

Our team overcame many adversities over the weekend. Their game was postponed from Saturday to Sunday, an extra night in Columbus with 2 different hotels, practice at one gym and then play at another school. While Columbus Academy got to sleep & eat at their own homes. Not to mention we had 2 horrible refs that determined the outcome of our game instead of letting the players do that!

Our Community and Fan support was wonderful the whole season. Home games or away, our players knew they would see a sea of green, white or black. THANK YOU to MRS CHRIS SMITH, who chaperoned the 8 spirit buses to boys & girls' games. This let our younger student body who otherwise would not have been able to see these games & cheer on our teams.

PLAYERS: We are ALL so PROUD of each of you & coaches for this exciting & wild season of a lifetime! You represented MHS with manners & dignity! Hold your heads up high- Bears!

Part 2- Lady Bears at State

03/16/2026

The Lady Bears are ready for their Final 4 appearance. From community pep rally, touring the elementary and their charter bus ride to Dayton. These ladies have worked hard all season long to get to this point. The Lady Bears take on Canton Central Catholic at Wright State.

The ladies started out quick and never gave up. It was a physical game. Our girls fought back from a 10 pt deficit to one pt. The Crushers answered back with a 3 pt shot. The Bears just couldn't regroup in time. Final score 42-48 Central Catholic on top. The chance to play in the finals was foiled but not for lack of trying. These girls NEVER game up!

On behalf of the Margaretta Nation, let me remind the Lady Bears this- you gave us a season that we will never forget. We knew every game that you played, you would give us your best. You set your goals and kept going until you got it-STATE & Final 4.

You ALL must hold your heads up high! We are all so proud of you and your season. We know that it didn't end like you wanted but you gave it your all and that's what matters.

The celebration continues- Part 3

Community Pep Rally

Last night the Margaretta community came together to celebrate our Lady Bears basketball team. Before they leave for State today, they will tour the elementary school and then a sendoff from the high school.

We got to hear from AD-Drew Grahl, our Seniors and then Coach Neill. Mr. Grahl also brought up Soph. Phinn Hedley- he is the 1st MHS bowler to make it to state and Freshman Ellie Pooch- 1st diver to go to state, both this year! Congrats Phinn & Ellie!

Coach Neill talked about how hard these girls have worked all season, especially our senior girls. They were around when we went to state last time and they were hungry to get back there!

Good Luck Lady Bears- we will be there to cheer you on to VICTORY

Patrick Henry- Part 2 The Celebration!

The celebration continues for the Lady Bears with a trip to State! As we watch these girls laugh & cry together over their win and hard work, we applaud them! Our fans were awesome & there to cheer them on. They got their State Bound cookie & the trophy.

The sheriff's office showed their support with a "police es**rt" back into Castalia, to the school. The students came back to the school to show their support too!

Let's show these Lady Bears how proud we are of them by coming out and supporting them on Thursday & Friday at STATE!
