After a record-setting career at Ohio University, a Twinsburg native is looking to carry on a tradition of kicking excellence for the Cleveland Browns.
Matt Weller grew up in Twinsburg looking up to another local native athlete, Zoltan Mesko. Weller, who set records as a kicker for the Ohio Bobcats football team, is now training with the Cleveland Browns and hopes to carry on the punting success that Mesko showed in his NFL career with the New England Patriots, according to a story posted on the Cleveland Browns website. “That would be amazing, and that’s the goal,” Weller said at a recent workout with the Browns. “It’s a tough goal to have, and he obviously did it, and he’s still doing pretty well. To follow in those footsteps, that will be a challenge, but it’s a challenge worth chasing. "In my college career, I’ve seen about every opportunity. To learn from those experiences, I think …

The city is considering hiring Golf Sense Inc. to make recommendations on how to improve Gleneagles Golf Course
City officials are looking for ways to improve the play experience at Gleneagles Golf Course and are considering hiring a consultant to study the city-owned course. Twinsburg City Counsil is considering an ordinance to hire Golf Sense Inc. to study the course and make recommendations on how it can remain competitive with the area's other municipal and private golf courses. Golf Sense beat out three other firms for consideration. The ordinance to hire the firm had its first reading Tuesday night. The study will examine each hole and look for ways to improve their design and landscaping to make a better experience for golfers. The goal, of course, is to help the course bring in more revenue and more rounds of golf each year.

The Twinsburg track star hopes to be on the podium in Columbus this track season.
State champion. That's the one title Twinsburg High junior Garrett Crichlow wants to hold in the 1600 Meters at the end of this track season. "That's the ultimate goal for him this season; to be on top of the podium," Coach Sarah Kmet said of her star runner. Based on previous times, Chrichlow is the second-fastest of all Division I returners in the 1600 Meters in Ohio, and he is anxious to become No. 1. Last season he smashed the Tigers record by posting a 4:16, going to the state meet where he finished seventh. At one point Chrichlow was the eighth fastest sophomore in the nation. “I hate waiting for the next season to start, so I’ll go very easy,” Chrichlow said of this past offseason. However, easy for him is about six miles at a time…

Dean - I've been saying that for years. A clubhouse with a nice raised deck to overlook the 18th (now the 9th) would be cause enough to stay for a few post-golf drinks and stories. Glen Eagles has the largest parking lot of any golf course within 20 miles, second to perhaps Sleepy Hollow...but at least they have the clubhouse/banquet hall. more ›
