Dan Liedtke Takes the reins of Shenandoah boys basketball
After a storied career that produced 759 victories and four Final Four appearances with the Cadets, Dan Liedtke has been officially approved to lead the Shenandoah varsity boys basketball program. The longtime coach, who spent four decades at Fort Frye before moving on, brings a wealth of experience to a team that finished the 2025‑26 season with just four wins.
Shenandoah’s recent campaign was marked by a modest four‑win tally, a stark contrast to the program’s historic success. Liedtke’s appointment is seen as a chance to rebuild the Zeps into a competitive force, leveraging his deep roots in Ohio basketball and his proven ability to develop talent.
Rain delays district baseball semifinals
Rain forced a delay in the district semifinal baseball matchups, pushing the contests involving Fort Frye and Warren to later in the week. Fort Frye is slated to meet Caldwell at 5 p.m. today, while Warren will face Hillsboro at 2 p.m. at Ohio University’s Bob Wren Stadium in Athens. Both squads could meet again on Friday should they advance to the district finals.
The postponed baseball games add an extra layer of excitement to an already eventful weekend in southeastern Ohio. Fans will be watching closely as the weather clears and the teams take the field, while the basketball community looks forward to seeing how Liedtke’s experience translates into on‑court results for the Zeps.
