Sports Writer
The Diebler clan is a basketball family if ever there was one. But last week was a whirlwind even for them.
Jon Diebler became the all-time leading scorer in Ohio history. Something, however, was missing.
"The one thing I wish is that (my grandfather) could have been there," Diebler said. "He was listening on the radio. That was a joy for me to know that. He wasn't there in person, but he was there in spirit."

State's top scorer ready for next challenge
By MATTHEW HORN
Sports Writer
The situation is odd when a high school player feels relieved to surpass the most hallowed milestone pertaining to boys basketball in Ohio. But expectations of Upper Sandusky senior Jon Diebler are far from ordinary.
Diebler -- who will apply his craft at Ohio State next season -- moved ahead of Jay Burson as the state's all-time points getter with 2,960 in his final regular-season game on Friday. He is averaging a national best 42.7 points while shooting 47 percent from the field. "It was a relief," Diebler said. "The fans and my teammates can enjoy it. It's a huge relief for them because now we can focus strictly on what we have to do each game. All the credit goes to my teammates for not getting sidetracked. We kept our heads and handled it well."

Clyde looks to upset Upper Sandusky
By KEVIN YANIK
Sports Writer
Only three teams -- St. Xavier, McClain and, most recently, Bellevue -- have found a way to beat Upper Sandusky this season. If Clyde wants to become the fourth to pull the upset Wednesday night in a Division II district semifinal at Ashland University, it can't focus solely on Rams senior Jon Diebler, the state's all-time leading scorer who's five points shy of 3,000 for his career.
