L.C.C. WINS FOURTH STRAIGHT “DON BACHMAN AWARD”

In the closest finish in the five year existence of the competition, Lima Central Catholic edged Columbus Grove to capture the 2009-10 Northwest Conference “Don Bachman Award of Excellence” which recognizes the school in the conference that exhibits the highest level of consistent excellence in conference-sponsored sports and scholastic bowl competition.

The award was started during the 2005-06 school year to honor longtime Northwest Conference commissioner/secretary, Don Bachman, who served in that position for more than thirty years before passing away late in 2005.

In capturing it’s fourth straight “Don Bachman Award,” Lima Central Catholic won outright conference titles in Golf, Boys Basketball and Scholastic Bowl., and shared the NWC crown in Baseball.    

Columbus Grove did not win or share any NWC titles, but the Bulldogs’ consistently strong performance in all sports enabled them to finish just one-half point behind L.C.C.

Other NWC champions were Ada (Football), Allen East (Wrestling), Bluffton (Baseball), Crestview (Volleyball), Delphos Jefferson (Volleyball, Girls Basketball), Paulding (Baseball, Softball), and Spencerville (Girls and Boys Cross Country, Girls and Boys Track).
