The fall season for Monroe County Region high school sports teams officially came to an end Monday night as Airport and Bedford lost girls basketball Regional games.
It was a successful fall with Erie Mason’s boys cross country team winning a state title and Courtney Roberts of Milan and Monroe’s Amanda Thompson bringing home individual state crowns in swimming. In addition, the Region had six teams reach the state football playoffs and four girls basketball teams capture league titles.
But there’s not much time to dwell on the fall, however. The winter season already has started with high school hockey in full swing. Boys basketball, volleyball, wrestling, boys swimming and competitive cheerleading aren’t far behind.
It’s nice that you mentioned the
success of Erie Mason’s boys
cross country team. However
I’m puzzled as to why you didn’t
mention Bekah Smeltzer. She is
probably the greatest girls long
distance runner in the history
of Monroe county.

You are right, Jim.
Bekah had another phenomenal season, she is not only one of the best distance runners in Region history – she is one of the best in state history.
There was no slight intended. I couldn’t possibly mention all of the Region’s fall successes in my short post.
Perhaps that would be a good topic of discussion here. What are your favorite moments of the fall season? Is there a team or athlete that impressed you?
Let’s blog about it.
