Ben Logan-Bellefontaine JV football game
The Ben Logan junior varsity football squad fared better Saturday than their varsity brethren who were routed by Bellefontaine Friday night. The JV Raiders came from behind in the waning seconds of the 4th quarter to beat the Chiefs, 26-20. A pass to Ben Logan receiver Andrew Frederick (9) deep in Chieftain territory bounced out of his hands with about 34 seconds remaining and was caught by teammate Diesel Baughman (2), who ran in the go-ahead score. A deep, floating pass on the Chiefs ensuing possession was intercepted with about 20 ticks left on the clock. (Examiner Video/Hollie Hubbard)

Overnight fire destroys 2 garages, vehicles
Bellefontaine firefighters were still at the scene about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday of structure fires that occurred late Monday behind two residences in the 400 block of north Madriver Street.
Leiah Ray, who was staying at her grandparents’ home at 116 E. Williams Ave., said she woke up about 11:15 p.m., saw the garage behind 429 N. Madriver St. on fire and called 911, before capturing raw video of the blaze.
Mrs. Ray said she heard explosions, could feel the heat from the fire inside her grandparents’ home located several yards away, and, at one point, became concerned the blaze might spread to their garage.
Firefighters report that the fire did spread south to the garage behind 425 N. Madriver St, and that both structures were fully engulfed when they arrived.
Firefighters at the scene did not report any injuries.
In addition to destroying the two garages, a pontoon boat and three vehicles including an RV, were also reportedly damaged or destroyed. Damage estimates were not immediately available.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
