The 2024–2025 athletic season in the Western Buckeye League (WBL) proved to be one of the most competitive in recent history, as the race for the prestigious Superior Credit Union All Sports Trophy came down to the wire. With consistent performances across multiple sports, the Ottawa-Glandorf Titans emerged as the overall champions, finishing with 149 total points.
The Titans showcased their depth and dominance throughout the year, capturing eight team championships—more than any other school in the league. Their consistent top-tier finishes earned them the coveted Superior Credit Union All Sports Trophy and solidified their place at the top of the standings.
The race for second was just as fierce, with the Celina Bulldogs and Wapakoneta Redskins finishing in a tie with 131.5 points each. Both schools also had standout seasons, each securing three team championships.
