Beavercreek girls state champs to be inducted into Hall of Fame COLUMBUS — The Beavercreek High School girls teams that won state titles under coach Ed Zink will be inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame during the 7th Annual Ceremony on May 19 in Columbus. The 1995, 2001 and 2003 teams will be honored for their achievements, along with Coach Zink, who is being inducted for his success in coaching high school girls. The 1994-95 squad went 28-0, averaging 67.2 points per game while giving up only 35.4. No opponent came within 10 points during a game. Amanda Reese, the school’s all-time leading scorer, averaged 18.8 points per game and Kim Bates averaged 10.6. Reese was voted most valuable player of the state tournament after a 50-39 victory over Lakewood in the title game. Beavercreek had another 28-0 record in 2000-2001, averaging 65.2 points to the opponents’ 34.7 average. The Beavers were led in scoring by 6-foot-6 Alison Bales (15.5), Tiffany Webb (15.1) and state tournament MVP Emily Williams (10.7). Chaminade-Julienne put up a good fight in the championship game but
Beavercreek won, 42-35. The Beavers were again state-bound during the 20022003 season, after having lost only one of 28 games. They got the job done in the state tournament. Alison Bales (17) and Kim Ingle (13.7) did most of the scoring. The Beavers won a 68-62 tussle with Brookhaven in the semifinal before crushing Hudson, 58-21, in the final. Ingle was MVP of the tournament. Ed Zink is the winningest girls high school basketball coach in Ohio, but in his days as a student at Beavercreek High School, he had no idea this would be his legacy. Football is the sport in which Zink had the most success. He was a fullback and punter at the University of Dayton and was voted the Flyers’ most valuable player in 1973. “When I graduated in 1974 my plan was someday to become a head football coach,” Zink said. “I was an assistant football coach in ’75 and there were basketball openings for the sophomore boys coach and girls head coach. Two of us applied for the both jobs. The other guy said he wouldn’t coach girls. So the girls coaching

job became mine by default.” Over the next 36 years Zink built the Beavercreek girls basketball program into a powerhouse. On February 10, 2011, when Beavercreek defeated Springfield, it was the 658th victory for Zink, who replaced Karen Wittrock of Rocky River Lutheran West as the winningest girls coach in the state. Zink’s record at the end of the 2010-11 season was 659-183. He retired at the end of the 2011 school year. For more information, please contact Event Coordinator Sheila Fox at 614- 547-2160 or at sfox@eventinsite.com. Ticket information and complete details about the Ceremony can be found at www.ohiobasketballhalloffame.com. The Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame recognizes the achievements of both male and female basketball players in high school, college, and professional basketball, successful coaches on all levels, and those who have impacted the game along the way. The induction ceremony is a celebration of basketball, its rich history, and those who have contributed to the game in Ohio.

Creek kid honored with ‘Home Run for Life’ DAYTON — Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and the Dayton Dragons featured 10-year-old Alex Bean during the unique “Home Run for Life” program on Wednesday, May 30, at the Dayton Dragons game against the South Bend Silverhawks at Fifth Third Field. The Anthem Home Run for Life program provides children in the Dayton Region a once-in-a-lifetime experience as they battle serious medical conditions. Each honoree gets to take a symbolic home run lap around the bases of Fifth Third Field during a sold-out Dragons home game while the crowd provides a standing ovation. Ten-year-old Alex Bean enjoys going to school each day. From math to science to reading, Bean likes it all and is diligent about getting his school work done on time. That diligence has become very important in his life both in and out of school since he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
When Bean was just under a year old, his parents noticed that he was always thirsty and seemed to get dehydrated quickly. He was constantly fussy and couldn’t keep fluids down. Doctors confirmed what his parents had already guessed, that he had type 1 diabetes. Stacey and Ethan Bean were quickly trained how to measure their son’s blood sugars and how to maintain healthy levels by giving him insulin shots eight times a day. This routine continued until his second birthday when Dr. Pfeifer at Children’s Medical Center set Alex up with an insulin pump. The pump contains the insulin needed to maintain his sugar levels after he eats. He still has to get his finger pricked up to ten times a day to measure and make sure his blood sugars are where they need to be. Although he has to remain diligent every day about what he consumes and taking his insulin, Alex is a happy kid.
“I love to play outside with my best friend Naumaan,” Alex said with a big smile. “We make up lots of games and even go to Tae Kwon Do classes together.” During an inning break, Alex took a ceremonial lap around the bases, which signified his “Home Run for Life.” When he rounded third base, the Dragons players were lined up to greet him as he made his way towards the plate. As Alex crossed home plate, Dragons manager Delino DeShields presented him with a certificate making him an honorary Dayton Dragon and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield presented him with an engraved bat. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and the Dayton Dragons applaud all those who have been instrumental in Alex’s life, including his parents Stacey and Ethan, his sister Meredith, his best friend Naumann, Dr. Pfeifer and the entire medical team at Children’s Medical Center.

Beavers go out with a fight, ending season with 3-point loss By JON RUDY and WAYNE BAKER sports@greenecountydailies.com
DAYTON — The miracle season for Beavercreek ended over the weekend, as the Beavers fought mightily but came up short against Cincinnati Moeller by a final score of 55-52. Each team came to play on the defensive end Saturday night, but the Creek managed to go up one, 34-33, heading into the fourth quarter. Moeller (21-3) went on a quick 6-2 run in the fourth to gain a 39-35 advantage and the momentum in the game. But Beavercreek (18-5) showed the fans at UD Arena why it is a special team. Kyle Rader and Airius Moore went to work with under three minutes left in the game. The “Creek managed to get within two, 53-51 with only four seconds left in the game. Radar was fouled and went to the line with a chance to send the game into overtime. He converted the first free throw and missed the second, as the ball took a strange bounce over the backboard and the Beavers then had to foul on the ensuing inbounds play.
Carroll faces bittersweet end to season
News-Current photo by Jon Rudy Carroll battled Bellbrook for the regional title last week. By WAYNE BAKER Sports Editor wbaker@xeniagazette.com SPRINGFIELD — It was another shocker in Springfield for Bellbrook last week, as the Lady Golden Eagles punched their ticket to the Final Four by defeating Carroll 50-43 in the regional title game. Bellbrook (22-4) showed off its team chemistry early as they bolted out to a quick 14-8 lead to end the first quarter. Senior Leisha Crawford and junior Erin Dorn, who hit two big 3-pointers, had the Eagles poised for an upset. Carroll (23-3) looked a step slow and turned the ball over uncharacteristically, as Bellbrook’s defense was stout. The Eagles continued to harass Carroll’s senior all-everything, Kelley Austria, limiting her looks at the basket. Austria also picked up her third foul with 14 seconds left in the second. Anxious fans, Bellbrook crazies decked out in black, Carroll’s red and white, roared as the team’s hit the floor to start the third. What they got was the Crawford show. She had six points, three steals, was grabbed by Wollenahaupt on the last one which kept her from eight points in the period, as Bellbrook opened up a 35-
23 advantage. Carroll was down but not out by any stretch of the imagination. Ashley DePoorter hit a three at the 2:51 mark to get Carroll within eight, 42-34. She drained another 3-pointer with just two minutes left to bring Carroll within four, 43-39. Bellbrook promptly turned the ball over and the Patriots had possession with only 1:49 left in the game. Bellbrook wasn’t about to wilt in the title game. Carroll missed some good open looks and had to foul. Bellbrook took some quick shots that gave the Patriots some home, but Crawford made clutch free throws and senior guard Caitlin Gibson handled the ball brilliantly against a strong Patriots’ press as the clock ticked down ending Carroll’s season while sending the Eagles to Columbus. With the sounds of We are the Champions blaring from speakers, Bellbrook head coach Jason Tincher was hugging every player in sight. Tincher was happy with the way his team didn’t wilt under Carroll’s late surge and the way they kept attacking until the final horn sounded. He talked about how the Golden Eagles fought back from a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter, then made the clutch free throws when it counted to topple C.J. 38-37 last Tuesday night. “If you can play against CJ’s pressure then you can handle just about anything,” Tincher said. “Our girls play like they have been there before. Kenton Ridge and CJ got us ready for tonight.” As Austria and Wollenhaupt made their way to the team bus, they were embraced by teammates that sported tear stained faces as well. Carroll’s journey has been amazing with Austria, who will be at UD next season. Carroll’s head coach Rob Berry knows this was a special group that has no need or reason to hang heads. Berry complimented Austria for being an amazing player on the court and a very special person off of it. He saluted Bellbrook for making it to Columbus and thanked the school and community for incredible support. Dorn led Bellbrook in scoring with 18 points followed by Crawford’s 15. Wollenhaupt led Carroll with 16 points and Austria netted 13. Next week’s D-II Final Four is now set. Bellbrook will square off against Hathaway Brown, a private school from the Cleveland suburbs, at 3 p.m. Lima Bath will play Millersburg West Holmes at 1 p.m. Both games will be played at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of the Ohio State University. Last season, Carroll got to the state D-II title game before losing to Hathaway Brown, 54-51. Austria netted 26 points in the title game.
