COLUMBUS - Yung Joc's popular 2006 hit "It's Goin' Down" played at the Schottenstein Center during a timeout in the second overtime of the Marion Local-Cornerstone Christian Division IV state title game on Saturday.
Jack Heitbrink and Adam Knapke combined for a no-hitter and defending Division IV state champion Minster began its baseball season with a 15-0 five-inning win over Ansonia on Saturday at Hanover Street Park.
