Footage shot in Avon Lake locker room includes vulgar behavior and was posted on YouTube.

The video featured team members performing to the popular Harlem Shake.

After opening loss to Avon, Shoremen best Shaker Heights Sept. 2
If there is one thing about Shoremen football, they are resilient. After falling to Avon they bounced back with an exciting 27-20 win over Shaker Heights. Sept. 2. "We talked about it and said the penalties, the turnovers were not going happen again, and get a W," Senior running back Dontez Smith said as a number of fans chanted his hands "We have a fresh team, and said everybody was going to communicate. Everybody was rusty in the beginning and we had great practices and played like it Friday night. We are back on track, it feels great." How they did it was the blue-collar smash mouth way that has made Avon Lake known throughout the state. "Kids at Avon Lake take losses pretty hard. We did it the Shoremen way of old,” Avon Lake coach Dave…

After her event, she dashed across the track and jumped into her fathers arms, in exuberance. Nick Bossard and Pete Lancione hugged each other and gave each other a high five, and were on cloud nine, while Katie Link was smiles from ear to ear after her race. The reason was simple.

This Shoregal took home three gold medals at the SWC meet.
Some people create with words, or with music, or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, "I've never seen anyone run like that before. "It's more then just a race, it's a style. It's doing something better then anyone else. It's being creative." It's an old runners adage, but in the case of Avon Lake distance runner Katie Link, it is more than appropriate. Especially after what she accomplished during the SWC track and field championships last week. There, she won the 800, 1600 and 3200 meter run, which is track and fields equivalent of the Triple Crown. Rare is the best word to describe it. Many have done it during dual meets, but to take home the gold in all three at a …

Tennis has had 9 matches postponed or canceled during spring of record rainfall.
"Rain, Rain, Go away, come back another day!" It's a children's song, but this year in Northeast Ohio, it seems like a daily ritual. Streams have been near or teetering close to flood stage since the end of March, flooded basements are becoming a routine. There's been surprise snows this spring, and mother nature has also featured other extremes like dense fog and high winds. April proved to be a record setting month for Cleveland as 6.89 inches of rain fell. Twenty days featured rain, and according WKYC meteorologist Bruce Kalinowski, May is looking to hold a similar pattern. "The way its looking now, its basically the pattern that we are in and its not changing that much," Kalinowski said. "Pretty much there is no sign of a drying trend…

Standout pitcher remains grounded, calm for Shoremen.
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime." Those were the words of the immortal Babe Ruth. Yes, the game of baseball is a team sport. You win as a team, you lose as a team, at least that is the way it was meant to be played. In today’s world though, somewhere that philosophy seems to have gone the wayside. Players put themselves on pedestals, and more often than not sports malfeasance has dominated the headlines as of late. Then there is Avon Lake High School's Nick Brady, a throwback to another era. One of Lorain County's top baseball players, he is a breath of fresh air, someone that younger …
