Duke plans $16M operations center in Colerain Township Jennie Key Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
After years of desolation, demolition fences are up and buildings are coming down as demolition is underway at the former Western Home Center in Colerain Township. Sally Thelen, spokeswoman for Duke Energy, said the utility bought the property at 7600 Colerain Ave. to develop a distribution operations center. Duke Energy closed on the property last December, paying $2 million for the site, which is about 12 acres,Thelen said. Cost of the new facility is estimated to be $16 million. The property was purchased from FKS Realty LLC, which was formed by Robert Stenger, who also owns and is the CEO of Cincinnati Mine Machinery adjacent to the property on Jonrose Avenue. The property has operated as a home improvement center with a lumber yard. It had several owners under the names Western Home Cabinet, Western Home Center and Builders First Source. It's been vacant on and off for decades, according to Colerain Township officials, who say the redevelopment of the site is a game-changer for the Groesbeck business district and the south end of Colerain Avenue. Geoff Milz, economic devel-

opment director for Colerain Township, said he was told the new Duke center will have an office in front and parking for line trucks in the rear. Plans will need approval through the zoning process. The property likely won't need a zone change, but Milz said the township will have the opportunity to look at plans to make sure township zoning requirements are met when Duke applies for its zoning certificate. Milz described the new development as a home run for the township, and the potential for further development in the area could make it a grand slam. "This is a big deal for Colerain Township and Groesbeck in particular," he said. "The township positioned that property for redevelopment and this can spur further development in the area. It's a big win."
Thelen said a number of factors led to the decision to put the new center in Colerain Township. "The location of our customers, access to main roads and the desire to invest in the local community all were reasons that drove us to this site," she said. She said the new operations center will support up to 150 employees, most of whom will be reassigned from Duke centers currently in operation. Fences went up at the end of November, and demolition is underway. Thelen said it should take two or three months to complete clearing the site. Design work for the new facility and site development will begin in 2018 and Thelen said the new center should be completed and open sometime in 2019.

Auto owners will pay for viaduct – and who else? Scott Wartman Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
As the cracks in the Western Hills Viaduct have grown, so has the cost for Hamilton County motorists. The $5 motor vehicle license fee increase county commissioners approved last week will get the county $33 million closer to replacing the viaduct. That leaves local governments needing to find $280 million more.
“This is an extremely expensive project,” said Ted Hubbard, Hamilton County engineer. A replacement Western Hills Viaduct will cost $335 million, with $22 million in state and local money already allocated to the design and right-of-way. Add to that the $33 million from the license fee, which will generate $4 million a year, with half going to the viaduct and the other half going to transportation projects elsewhere in the

county. The commissioners added a sunset clause for the fee to expire once the bonds are paid off or after 30 years, whichever comes first. But it could be another 10 years or more before there’s a new bridge linking the central city to the West Side. Many see the viaduct as second only to the Brent Spence Bridge on the local wish list for transportation. Herb Witte, a resident of
West Price Hill, said he’s glad to pay $5 more to register his license plates since the money is going toward a new viaduct. “It is something that needs to be fixed,” Witte said. Even though the 75-year-old double-decker bridge looks like it’s falling down, Ohio Department of Transportation engineers have assured the public it’s not. The federal government isn’t likely to pick up most of the tab, transportation experts

said. The county applied this year for $40 million in federal grants for the project. Hamilton County’s $5 motor vehicle license fee won’t guarantee federal funds, but greatly improves the region’s chances, officials said. “These grants are extraordinarily competitive,” said Mark Policinski, chief executive officer of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of GovSee VIADUCT, Page 2A Vol. 34 No. 14 © 2017 The Community Press ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

GREENHILLS
Leaf collection extended The Village of Greenhills is extending its fall leaf pickup program to Dec. 22. Residents are reminded not to rake leaves into the street or storm sewers as it causes flooding. Raked leaves must be in between the street and sidewalk for the leaf truck to be able to pick up. Do not rake twigs, branches, rocks, bottles, litter or paper in with leaves. Mixed piles will not be picked up as these items can clog and damage the leaf machine causing considerable delay to leaf collection. Avoid parking in front of large piles of leaves. It is difficult for the crew to work around parked cars and slows leaf collection. Situate leaf piles away from trees, sign posts and hydrants in order to speed collection. Alternatively, Rumpke will pick up bagged leaves with normal garbage pickup.

ernments, a quasi-governmental body that oversees local transportation projects and serves as a pass-through for federal money. “It’s impossible to say who is going to get them.” Without the $5 license fee, there would be no chance to get the grants, he said. The feds look for local investment. But a new viaduct will take more than grants. The federal government in recent years has looked more to local jurisdictions to pay for projects, said Sarah Kline, a fellow with the Bipartisan Policy Center. President Trump’s administration has said it prefers to give grants to projects with private investment, such as tolls, she said. “They want state and local governments to increase the amounts they’re putting into the projects,” Kline said. “They want federal

grants to be the seed money.” Hubbard said tolls aren’t likely for the viaduct because it’s a local thoroughfare and doesn’t generate enough traffic. Local leaders remained confident they’ll find a way. “The power of the city and county having a local match in hand at this moment in time is very powerful when you go advocate for these grants,” said County Commissioner Denise Driehaus. County leaders expectCincinnati to pony up $33 million to match the county’s investment. But the city has yet to obligate any money. Mayor John Cranley said he’s working to identify where the city can come up with $33 million. “There is no way I’m leaving this job without having the money in place,” Cranley said. Local governments have set a 2027 goal of completing a new viaduct. Reporter Sharon Coolidge contributed.

Cookie recipes for the regular holiday treat list What would the holidays be without your favorite cookies? I know at our house it’s a given that the two recipes I’m sharing today are regulars on the holiday treat list. The first recipe, Maggie’s gingerbread cutouts, comes from daughter-in-law Jessie’s family. They are a treasured cookie from daughter-in-law Jessie’s mom, Maggie Hoerst’s family. Jess and her sister Lottie make these every year with Maggie. If you’re looking for a tender, flavorful gingerbread cookie, you have to make this. My offering is a perennial favorite. It’s special to me because I found the recipe years ago in a food magazine at the doctor’s office while waiting for my dad to finish his appointment. I Rita remember tearing the recipe out, hopHeikenfeld ing no one was looking. My dad, Charlie Nader, loved cookies. He was a RITA’S KITCHEN talented artist, and when my boys were little, I’d let them decorate the cookies for him. Praise from him for their “artwork” always followed before he took the first bite. What’s your favorite holiday memory or recipe? Let me know! Tips from Rita’s Kitchen: How to test baking soda, baking powder and yeast for freshness. Baking soda test Stir in 1/4 teaspoon baking soda with 2 teaspoons of vinegar and the mixture should bubble immediately. Baking powder test Put 2 tablespoons warm water in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. While you won’t see quite the vigorous reaction you get from baking soda/ vinegar, the mixture should definitely bubble and foam. Yeast test Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water. Stir in a packet of active dry yeast or 2 teaspoons instant yeast. Let sit 8-10 minutes. Mixture will start too bubble and expand if it’s still active. Add mixture to your recipe, reducing liquid in recipe by 1/2 cup. For step-by-step photos, check out my abouteating.com site.
These gingerbread cutouts come from a treasured family recipe. RITA HEIKENFELD FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS
Maggie Hoerst’s gingerbread cutouts Ingredients 1 cup solid shortening 1 cup sugar 1 large egg 1 cup molasses (unsulphured if possible) 2 tablespoons white vinegar 5 cups all purpose flour 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon powdered ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon powdered cloves
Instructions Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, molasses and vinegar, beat well. Sift dry ingredients into it and blend. Refrigerate 3 hours. Roll and cut out. Bake at 375 for 5-6 minutes. To decorate, use favorite frosting or Jessie’s buttercream. Jessie’s buttercream frosting Beat together:
Rita’s foolproof shortbread cutouts This was one of the first cookies I learned to make. Let the kids freeform shapes, or use a cookie cutter. Dough freezes well, and so does the baked cookie, sans icing. A nice gift from the kitchen and my most requested shortbread recipe. Ingredients 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. Cream butter and gradually add sugar. Add vanilla. Blend flour mixture in. Dough will be soft. Roll out on lightly floured surface or between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment to about 1/4 inch. If dough is too soft to cut out shapes with, put in fridge for about 30 minutes. Cut out and place on sprayed cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes just until edges are golden. Icing: Whisk together: 1 cup confectioner’s sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 2-3 tablespoons water
Drizzle icing over cooled cookies, or make a thicker icing with less water, add food coloring if using, and spread on cookies. Makes about 2 dozen.

Ohio lessons learned on tax reform I’m so encouraged to see President Trump and Congress working on the issues that make a real difference to Ohio job creators — flexibility on health care, reducing the burdens of regulation, investing in infrastructure. Results are what matter to the Ohioans I talk to virtually every day as lieutenant governor and it is time for action. The president unveiled his tax reform proposal, and I’m pleased that many elements take a page out of Ohio’s playbook – either what we have already done successfully or what I have proposed doing to move Ohio forward even further. Since taking office in 2011, we’ve turned away from the tax and spend policies of the Strickland era. We’ve repeatedly balanced the budget and enacted $5 billion in tax cuts for working Ohioans. This includes eliminating the estate tax (more commonly known as the “death tax”), cutting the state income tax, creating substantial tax deductions for small businesses, and providing targeted tax relief to low-income workers. These actions — combined with other jobs-friendly policies like aggressive regulatory reform through the Common Sense Initiative which I lead — have proven extremely successful in Ohio. We’ve gained nearly 500,000 new private sector jobs. We eliminated an $8 billion budget deficit and rebuilt our state’s savings account from 89 cents to more than $2 billion. I believe the president’s tax plan — and his push to cut government red tape — will
have similar benefits for the nation. After eight years of jobkilling policies, the White House is finally Mary Taylor doing its part. COMMUNITY PRESS President GUEST COLUMNIST Trump has called for reducing the corporate and small business tax rate, which would release employers from their shackles and unleash a new era of American prosperity. Small businesses currently face a top federal marginal tax rate of nearly 40 percent. The president’s proposal to cut this rate will allow small business owners to invest more of their resources into hiring, expansion, and local communities – keeping less money in Washington, D.C. and more on Main Street. The president is proposing the biggest tax cut to small and midsize businesses in 80 years, and as we have seen in Ohio, this will jumpstart the nation’s economy. The Council of Economic Advisors has estimated that the average American household income could increase between $4,000 and $9,000 a year in wages and salary alone from this proposal. And while not an issue that we deal directly with in Ohio’s tax system, we know that the offshoring of corporate earnings has resulted in a loss of federal tax revenues as large as $767 billion. Addressing this issue will have enormous implication for job creators here and throughout the country. The White House has also
made tax simplicity a top priority. Secretary Mnuchin described the tax code as a “complicated set of rules” that leaves employers with less time to focus on business operation. The National Federation of Independent Businesses has found that 85 percent of small business owners agree that the tax code is “too complex and should be overhauled.” As a candidate for governor in Ohio, I have said the same thing about our tax system. As much progress as we’ve made on rates, we can do more on simplicity and customer service. I have — like the president — proposed returning Ohio’s income tax return to the simple postcard it was when our income tax was created in 1971. I have advocated for a Tax Department much more focused on helping business and other taxpayers comply than on punishing them for innocent mistakes on complicated filings. I have a positive vision for Ohio. We will shape an economy that generates jobs and opportunity. I’m proud of the work we’ve done — and what I am proposing we continue to do — on taxes in Ohio. Job creators nationwide are demanding the same relief in their states. Ohio is a place where people want to work. Where the prospect of an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work is something we aspire to. I look forward to working with the president and Congress on our parallel efforts to improve the lives of our taxpayers. Mary Taylor is the lieutenant governor of Ohio.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Paul Brown Stadium tax In 1996 voters approved a sales tax increase for the construction of the Paul Brown Stadium. In return for their vote on the sales tax increase, voters were promised a property tax rebate. Now the Hamilton County Commissioners have reduced
the amount of the promised property tax rebate by 25 percent. Another broken promise to property owners. How many people have to move out of Cincinnati and Hamilton County before politicians get the message? Enough is enough. Norbert A. Nadel Hamilton County resident
CH@TROOM Last week’s question As Ohio moves ahead on setting up a system for medical marijuana, Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes says Kentucky “is getting left behind on this issue.” Agree or disagree? Why?
“Agree. Kentucky biggest cash crop is tobacco. With the increasing decline of tobacco use, medical marijuana could help these farmers recover their declining sales.” Meredith Moore Zwart
“Disagree and will leave Ohio soon, pot heads are a drag on the economy. And even though it’s for medical purposes it’s a bunch of crap.” Jan Edward Montarsi

each spending over a billion a year to develop new meds would certainly have made money on cannabis analogues to treat seizures or nausea but there are none. So, medical marijuana is a myth.

Preview: Hardwood heroes hit boys basketball court Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
Officially, December means dribbles and dunks in the Tristate as high school competition moves from stadiums to the intimate confines of a gym. Already, one school has caught the eye of the national pundits with last year’s Division I state runner-up Moeller being ranked No. 17 in the USA Today Super Preseason Top 25. As Crusaders coach Carl Kremer well knows, a lot can happen from December to March when the winners cut down the nets at Ohio State’s Schottenstein Center. League-by-league, division-by-division, it is always a marathon and never a sprint. Greater Catholic League-South Moeller appreciates the USA Today notoriety, but Carl Kremer is quick to point out four starters from last year’s team won’t be on the court this winter. Keegan McDowell, Caleb Canter and Riley Voss are all playing in college and Miles McBride was injured as Moeller’s quarterback this fall (a March return would be an absolute best case scenario). “I don’t know what team with one returning starter (point guard Isaiah Payton) gets that kind of expectation,” Kremer said. “Maybe the answer is because Jaxson Hayes and Jeremiah Davenport have had great summers.” Hayes grew 4 inches since last season and could top 7-feet before he exits stage left. As a result, he was recruited by many, including Kentucky, Xavier and Butler before eventually signing with Texas. Davenport, who actually played more minutes than Hayes last season, will play at Wright State. Moeller will also be aided by Roger Bacon transfer Alec Pfriem, who averaged 13 points as a sophomore for the Spartans. Another interesting transfer is sophomore Max Land, who was in Mason’s program last winter. Land will sit out the first 11 games before he’s eligible. He is the son of former Roger Bacon and University of Cincinnati forward Eugene Land. Prior to last season, Elder and La Salle tied Moeller for the GCL-South title two years in a row. For the first time in 28 seasons, La Salle will have someone other than Dan Fleming barking commands. Fleming stepped aside last spring to follow the playing career of his youngest son, C.J., at Bellarmine, his daughter, Lexi, at McAuley and the coaching career of son Ryan at Oak Hills. Long-time Fleming assistant Patrick Goedde takes over a team that lost just four games last year. Three of those were against Moeller including the regional final. Guard Riley Haubner is the only returning starter for the Lancers, so Goedde will have his hands full in his inaugural year at the top of the bench. A slew of sophomores is next in line: Cole Hildebrand, Jeff Queen, Derek Eddings, Cam Porter, Mike Wergers and Jaylen Lemons. All-time Elder wins leader Joe Schoenfeld was GCL-South Coach of the Year just two seasons ago and will try to get the Panthers above last year’s 12-12 mark. Top returners include second-leading scorer Zach Harp (12.1 ppg) and guards Brett Marsh, Trevor Estep and Jake O’Brien. Greater Catholic League-Coed Three of the last four GCL-Coed titles have gone to Roger Bacon, including last year, which ended in a trip to Columbus. Losing top scorer Alec Pfriem to Moeller hurts, but coach Brian Neal usually finds a way to reload. Brandon Bibbs, a senior guard, is the lone returning starter from a 25-5 squad that will have to replace 49 points in scoring from those departed. Seniors Craig Moore and Alauntae Sherrer will get added floor time along with junior Greg Phelia and sophomore for-

ward Josiah McGee. “Brandon Bibbs should become the school’s all-time leader in total games played,” Neal said. “Craig McGee (2017 grad) currently holds that record.” Scott Kerr usually has his Purcell Marian Cavaliers in the hunt with a challenging schedule.They were 9-15 last season, but league champs two years ago. Last year’s non-conference menu included La Salle, Elder, Alter, Summit Country Day and Wyoming with more of the same scheduled for this winter. Kerr started no seniors last season and top scorer Javonta Lyons was only a sophomore. Joining Lyons will be juniors A.J. Garrett, Alex Dotson and Bryan Walsh plus senior Ace Taylor. “We have 10 or 11 players who can play at the varsity level which has allowed our early season practices to be very competitive,” Kerr said. “Our schedule is very demanding: Moeller, Elder, La Salle, Centerville off the top plus our GCL schedule.” McNicholas should be on the rise after a 12-11 campaign and several returning players. Tim Monahan has a slew of varsity experience in four-year guard Ryan
Reidy and three-year veterans Cole Burdick, James Ehlers and Michael Lang. Reidy needs 77 assists to become McNick’s all-time leader and Monahan is five wins away from becoming the school’s second-winningest coach behind the legendary Jerry Doerger. “We have good varsity experience coming back, so that will helps us in our league,” Monahan said. “We play in a really tough league.” Badin was 9-15 but 1-9 in the GCL-Coed Central Division last season. Junior Justin Pappas (8.2) is the Rams top returning scorer. Greater Miami Conference Oak Hills and Mason have been constants in recent years in the GMC, but the league always features games that could go anyway on a given night. Last year’s champion Oak Hills lost two GMC firstteam players (Ryan Batte and Luke Rudy) and second-teamer Cam Naber to graduation, leaving Nick Deifel (second team) as top returner. Forward Deifel is a four-year varsity player for a team that lost just four games under GMC Coach of the Year Mike Price. Three-year varsity guard Jacob Woycke will also play key
minutes along with juniors Deandre Hayes, Jacob Berkemeier and Zach Moeller. Mason and Greg Richards were right behind the Highlanders in the league at 14-2 and lost just three (to Oak Hills, Princeton, and Moeller). The Comets were a 2017 district champion. Unfortunately, Tanner Knue is the lone returning starter. The guard averaged nine points per game, slightly above what reserve sixth man Noah Pedelty contributed. Juniors Landon Long, Matt Minick and Ethan Howard plus sophomore Jack Cooper should be factors. “Ultimately for us, it still comes down to playing Mason basketball,” Richards said. “We need to make other teams work really hard to score.” Lakota East shared a GMC title with Mason three years ago and was 16-8 last season. Head coach Clinton Adkins brings back four starters to a league where depth is important. Jarrett Cox, Jackson See, Jalen Peck and Kyrell Metts return with Cox leading the Thunderhawks and GMC in scoring last year at 18.2 per game. Bash Wieland (over from Lakota West) and Alex Mangold are also expected to have an impact. “We’re a much more versatile and deep team than we were last year,” Adkins said. The most spoken about player in the GMC is Princeton’s Darius Bazley. The 6foot-9 forward recently signed to play at Syracuse and was invited to a USA Basketball Junior National Team training camp this fall. He is the No. 9 player of the 2018 class, according to ESPN.com. After sitting out the first half of last season due to his transfer from Finneytown, Bazley led the GMC in rebounds (10 per game), assists (3.5) and blocks (3) while averaging 11.1 points against defenses designed to stop him specifically. Dominic Pierce and Darweshi Hunter are also returning Viking starters, with Hunter finishing second in the league in scoring last season (17.3) for coach Steven Wright. The Vikings will be featured on ESPNU Jan. 19 against New Albany (Indiana). Hamilton, Fairfield, Sycamore, Lakota West, Middletown and Colerain all will try to rebound from sub-.500 records in one of the toughest conferences around. Andrew Ovington takes over the Sycamore Aviators who return starters Christian Kelly and Tate Goodyear (Yale football signee). Myron Williams, Luke Huffer and Ben Yuskewich will also help try to break the Aves’ skid of four straight losing seasons. Middletown has Jawunn Bailey back as a starter. Cincinnati Hills League The CHL favorite has to be Wyoming who finished 24-2 and 13-1 in the league under Tim Edmonds. The Cowboys lost the CHL’s top scorer Lonnie Grayson to West Point and Jake Edmonds and Garyn Prater to college football, However, there’s also more in the Pendery Avenue pipeline. Joey Edmonds returns to start for a third season and is still but a junior. He averaged 13.7 per game and is known in summer hoop circles. Cowboys football quarterback Evan Prater led the CHL in field-goal percentage as a freshman and will only continue to grow as his brother did. Others from the football team (not many specialize at Wyoming) are Camden O’Gara, Eli Cupp and Pierson Rogers. Connor O’Brien should also add some length at 6-foot-4. Indian Hill is always nip-and-tuck with Wyoming and features four-year starter, Colin Shaw. Shaw averaged 18.2 points and 7.6 rebounds as a junior. Fellow guard Marco Fiore’s status is up in the air as he recovers from a football injury. Another returning guard is Ben Bader, but most of the Braves will be relatively new See HARDWOOD, Page 2B

St. Xavier football guys bounce on to next sport Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK
ANDERSON TWP. - On a night they had planned on playing at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, several St. Xavier High School football players found themselves off Forest Road in Anderson's gymnasium. Thanks to a 21-14 loss to Colerain in the regional final Nov. 17, the Bombers were denied a Division I state semifinal game and thus wouldn't make the trip to Canton. It was just their second loss of the year, but it ended the football careers of many. For Chase Wolf, Andrew Wittrock, Bobby Jefferson, Luke Pellot, Nathan Stockman and Chris Payne, it was time to hang

to the varsity floor for coach Tim Burch. Garrett Innis and Johnny Bultema return with some experience. “As a community team, I like how hard all the players play and work,” Braves coach Tim Burch said. “We have great guard play with Colin Shaw back as shooting guard. When Marco Fiore returns from a football injury, we will have a great backcourt.” Rick Rockwell’s Madeira Mustangs tied Indian Hill for second last year and figure to be in the hunt
up the cleats and dust off the sneakers. Instead of preparing for the marquees game of the OHSAA's football season, it was sprints, lay-ups and bounce passes. Fortunately for the Bombers, their size and athleticism carried them in their opener, the Tipoff Classic with Anderson 7451. Bobby Jefferson, who's big enough to play football without shoulder pads, scored 14 points and hauled down seven rebounds, aggressively ripping the ball away from anyone close. He was named the game MVP. "It kind of depends on the season," Jefferson replied when asked which sport he liked best. "When I'm playing football, it's football. When I'm playing basketball, it's basketball.
It's one of those type things." Jefferson was second in the GCL-South in sacks, while Wittrock caught 49 passes (10 for touchdowns) for 868 yards. Like his quarterback Chase Wolf, he had just returned to basketball practice so his initial playing time was limited to the second half. "Colerain left a bad taste in our mouth, so it's good to transition to basketball and get that out of our system," Wittrock said. Luke Pellot is a 6-foot-7 215-pound offensive lineman on turf and an imposing pivot in basketball. The Bombers have Brandon Gilbert, who's the same size as Pellot, and another pair of 6-foot-9 players. Instead of chugging 10 yards or so downfield af-
ter a pancake block, Pellot is now trying to block basketballs and get his running legs. "They're still getting back," Pellot said. "I have to get back in shape from football season. We're one of the biggest, if not the biggest, team in the GCL this year." Nathan Stockman is a safety who recorded 47 tackles this season on the gridiron. His transition to basketball guard came easily and he led all scorers with 17 points against Anderson. "My favorite sport is basketball and I think a lot of people know that," Stockman said. "We're looking to get Chase (Wolf) more involved. He's just getting back from football and so is Witt (Wittrock). They took a week off to get
their bodies rested. Once we get them incorporated I think we'll be a different team." Wolf comes from a legendary basketball family with a father who played at North Carolina State and Xavier, multiple uncles and cousins who have played in college and a grandfather who used to coach the NBA Cincinnati Royals. Make no mistake, the genes are there, but this Wolf is one of the better quarterback recruits in the country. His career at St. X ended against Colerain, but it will begin soon at Wisconsin in the Big Ten. "Our goal was to win a state championship, but Coach (Steve) Specht talked about how it's not about metal rings and plastic trophies," Wolf
said. "When it turned out that wasn't going to be our reality, we realized what we had was very special." The Bombers finished 11-2 and were ranked as the top team in Division I for much of the season. The year prior they limped to the playoffs at 5-5 and scratched out a title, proving that numbers and prognostications don't always tell the story. "That's the beauty of sports in general," Wolf said philosophically. "You can't crown someone at the beginning of the season." For now, Wolf will work on his conditioning. Despite limited action, he was still winded from his first outing indoors. Coach Jimmy Lallathin sat nervously through an entire football season.
again this winter with four returning starters. Back are senior guards Adam Wieczorek, Mark Manfredi, Kyle Johnson and senior post Jack Cravaack. Cravaack and Wieczorek are three-year varsity starters averaging 15.7 and 9.1 points per game, respectively. Both will come from the football field, where Cravaack is a Purdue recruit and Wieczorek was the CHL leader in all-purpose yards. Johnson scored at a 13.5 clip last season and Steven Noung is a 47 percent three-point bomber. Senior Jack Werner, junior Eric Hoeffel, junior Cameron Finke, junior James Lytle and sophomore Sam Solinski should all find the
box score. “Cravaack has 902 points and will break 1,000 points during the early part of the season,” Rockwell said. “He’ll also pass the 500 rebound mark. This will make Jack only the second player in school history to score over 1,000 points and grab over 500 rebounds.” Veteran coach Jim Leon had Mariemont in the middle of the pack at 9-5 and was 16-7 overall. Second-team CHL pick Charlie Tripp returns to lead the Warriors along with honorable mention Brad Westmeyer and Andrew Hall. Tripp and Hall were among league leaders in steals last season while Tripp topped Mariemont
in scoring at 13.2 per game. Deer Park gets back a long, but young group of Wildcats in Jalen Rose, Mark Wise, and Ibrahima Athie. Reading Blue Devils quarterback Johnny Miller goes from gridiron to guard for points. Jacob Haussler returns to sting for the Taylor Yellowjackets along with Cade Hume and Bennett Weiherer. Finneytown’s young group looks to break into the win column with Jerod Baldock and Michael Clay. Miami Valley Conference Topping the MVC-Scarlet Division is Summit Country Day, which went 26-1 with the defeat coming at the state tournament in Columbus to Roger Bacon. Most of the season they were a machine but top scorer Sam Martin is now a University of Cincinnati walk-on and sharpshooter Alex Dahling at Lincoln Memorial. That leaves football standout Xavier Johnson to do the heavy lifting after averaging eight points and three rebounds a year ago. Sam Gossiger, Rylan Woods, Terry Evans and Alonzo Mosley will step in for the Silver Knights. “We have quick guys who will share the ball and play solid defense,” Summit coach Pat Cosgrove said. Shannon Minor’s North College Hill Trojans made a tournament run and have MVC-Scarlet top scorer Lorenzo Sparks back after averaging 20.7 points as a junior. He was
also second in the league in steals. At CHCA, the Eagles hope to move up in the standings. Tanner Southerland was second in the league in blocks and could swat away more. Fellow post player Mason Bernhardt averaged 12 points and six rebounds as a junior. Clark Montessori will look to replace the scoring punch of Jacob McElfresh with veteran Tri-State coach Wally Vickers at the helm. Junior Shawnti Hawkins returns and Brandon Green, Gideon Thomas, Marlin Lyons and Micha Thomas should help the Cougars. Brice Hill returns to knock down shots for Seven Hills. The Stingers have some size with Hill, and Brennan Callow at 6foot-5 and Curtis Harrison and Charlie Dwight at 6foot-6. Guards are D.J. Ross and Tommy Robinson. Cincinnati Christian and Cincinnati Country Day were 1-2 in the MVCGray Division. Trey Smith and Blake Adkins are returning starters who made second-team MVC last season. Michail Flowers should lead St. BernardElmwood Place with a double-digit year. New to the league for basketball will be Miami Valley Christian Academy and Norwood. Southwest Ohio Conference Among schools in the SWOC in the Greater Cincinnati coverage area are Harrison, Little Miami, Mount Healthy, Northwest, and Ross. Northwest
won the league last season at 11-1 and were 16-7 overall. However, the Knights were senior-laden and forward Kaleb Williams will have to fill the void after averaging 8.5 points and 6.5 rebounds. Mount Healthy was 9-3 but coach Adair Carmichael has no returning starters. Carmichael looks to Brandon Lanier, Kaleb Taylor, Chris Simmons, JuAries Montgomery and Aushadon Mathis to lead the Owls. Elsewhere, Landen Angel topped Ross a year ago at 14.2 points per game and undoubtedly is good on the wing. Harrison football quarterback Frankie Young should lead the Wildcats after hitting for 8.6 points and 7.1 rebounds last year. Little Miami lost some big numbers but returns guard Jake Gevedon. Independent Winton Woods struggled finishing 4-19 in 201617. The Warriors have not had a winning season since 2012 and face a difficult schedule much like their football team. Former University of Cincinnati player and Cincinnati State coach Andre Tate takes over as head coach. Winton Woods plays at Elder, at Princeton, at Oak Hills, at Moeller and hosts Covington Catholic. Oyler has had three consecutive winning seasons under Chris O’Brien and was 11-1 last season. Leading the Mad Hatters are Ricky Thomas, Dewonte Williams, Sharmon Mitchum, Aaron Mendez and Kaji Canady.
