Athletics
Zane Trace competes in the Scioto Valley Conference.

The Pioneers have freshman prospect Brice Johnson, who is on the national watch list. However, seeing how he played against Unioto Middle School in 2022, he is most likely not going to play for a Division I school. The Pioneers have recently been dominating the Scioto Valley Conference, with Unioto being a close second in almost everything.
