There’s new leadership in the Elyria Catholic football program. Former Ohio State Buckeye, NFL athlete, and Elyria native Chase Ferris will be the new head coach of the Panthers. Elyria Catholic introduced Ferris as head coach earlier this week. Fellow former Buckeyes Troy Smith (2006 Heisman Trophy Winner) and Doran Grant (2015 National Champion) will also join the staff.

March is designated as Pet Poison Prevention Awareness Month. With the change of the season, pet owners need to take inventory of potential springtime hazards for our furry friends!

Host of The Pet Buzz (heard 8am Saturday morning’s on WEOL), pet trend and lifestyle expert Charlotte Reed, stopped by to talk about how best to get prepared for the Spring season with pets.

Listen to The Pet Buzz with Charlotte Reed each and every Saturday morning at 8am right here on WEOL!

Last night our own Bruce Van Dyke served as the official pronouncer for the Lorain County Spelling Bee!

It came down to two finalists last night, Bridget Smith from Durling Middle School, and Lucy Carrion from Avon Middle School.

We replayed the final round on Friday morning’s Champions of Education, brought to you by the Nordson Corporation, helping build products the world uses every single day.

Take a listen below, and congrats to Bridget on her victory! She now heads to Washington D.C. to represent Lorain County in the Scripps National Spelling Bee from May 30 to June 1!
