• Ohio State Highway Patrol Investigates Serious Injury Crash in Defiance County (wowo.com) — A serious early-morning crash on State Route 66 in Tiffin Township sent a Montpelier driver to Defiance Regional Medical Center after his car struck an ODOT plow truck and caught fire. The plow’s warning lights were active, and alcohol is suspected as a factor. Local responders, including the Defiance County Sheriff’s Office and Tiffin Township Fire and Rescue, assisted, and the Highway Patrol continues investigating. 
• Stevens eclipses 100 wins as Panthers compete at Roughneck Duals (recordherald.com) — Defiance’s wrestling team was among the opponents facing Miami Trace at the Roughneck Duals in Findlay, where area programs like Napoleon and Wauseon also competed.
