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!

Some news out of Lorain as Titans head girls basketball coach Mark Feldmann has retired from his coaching position.

Congratulations to Coach Feldmann on a stellar career!

What a run for Midview! Congratulations to Coach Brittany McNamara-Cole and the Midview Lady Middies on capturing the Division 1 Region 1 Championship!

A true bucket-getter, Liv DiFranco!

The Lady Middies made all kinds of history this season and it was an absolute blast to be a part of the ride to Dayton!

The Second Harvest Food Bank’s “Harvest for Hunger” is the largest annual community-wide campaign in the country that raises food and funds to stock food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters throughout 21 counties.

Last year, the campaign raised over $340,000 and 4,000 pounds of food! Join the Second Harvest Food Bank this march by saying no to local hunger and yes to feeding families. For more information, visit the Second Harvest’s website HERE!

The Second Harvest’s Susan Bartosch stopped by the WEOL Morning Show to tell our listeners more about the campaign and how they can get involved!
