Bexley High School
New turf, lights on way for stadium By JEFF DONAHUE ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Bexley High School stadium is scheduled to receive a major facelift in 2011. Director of Operations Barry Zwick told school board members Monday, Jan. 10, that approximately $350,000 in improvements will be made to the stadium in 2011 but no taxpayer dollars will be spent on the project. The bulk of the improvement project will be to replace the artificial turf. “The field is going on 10 years old,”
Zwick said. “…As they get older, the fields get harder. Ours is still measuring in the acceptable range, but with every year, it gets a little bit harder.” Zwick said safety issues will also be addressed during the project. “We have some issues along the edges that our soccer teams have found when they slide, where they are sliding is into the edges where the track is,” he said. “So, we want to rectify those problems when we put the turf in.” He noted that new goal posts will also be installed since the existing ones create a safety concern because of their
proximity to the back of the soccer goal net. He said the new goalposts will be moved farther back and will feature a longer gooseneck. Zwick said a group of coaches, administrators and boosters have interviewed several companies about the project but no formal estimates have been received yet. “We came up with the product that we want and we’re coming up with the specs that we want,” he said. “We’re going to ask them to supply quotes next.” Zwick emphasized that no taxpayer dollars will be spent on the project.
“Through the years, we have been putting our cell phone tower money into a permanent improvement account,” he said. “We have a pot of money there that we are going to use to replace this … the cell phone monies and things like that will continue to go in there so that in the future, there should be enough money in there to do the same process again in 10-12 years.” Zwick said the timeline for the project is still uncertain. “In a perfect world, it would be best to do it after the fall season, in November,” he said. “Some of the companies

Library opens homework help center
Bexley schools plan how to use $100K By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers A new homework help center opened at the Bexley Public Library on Jan. 10 to assist students with their assignments. Young adult librarian Mandy Simon said the homework help center will be open from 3 to 6 p.m. during the school year. The homework help center is free and offers free printing for homework related assignments. “They can come in and work on specific homework assignments,” she said. “We are trying to make sure it is not individualized tutoring but help on specific assignments (students) are bringing home from school.” Simon said students will have access to four help center Internet computers, electronic library resources such as reference collections, and the library’s collection of non-fiction books. “We have purchased a lot of new nonfiction books in the children’s area for the last four to five months to supplement our reference collection,” Simon said. Bexley Schools collaborated with the library to establish the homework help center by donating classroom textbooks. If students forget their textbook at school they can come to the library and borrow a copy although the books are not available for checkout. “They are definitely available for students to use to work on homework,” Simon said. Other homework help center items include play money to help younger students work on counting, protractors and calculators, anything that would be needed for basic homework.
say that would not be a problem and some of them say they would prefer to do it in the summer time. So, before we can say when we are going to do it, we have to get the quotes in.” Thanks to an ongoing agreement with the stadium lighting contractor, the field will also get new lights this year, he said. “At the end of 10 years, they come in and they completely re-lamp all the lights,” he said. “Right now, that’s tentatively scheduled for the week of July 3.” jdonahue@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Bexley City Schools officials are planning how to use $100,000 they will receive as part of the federal government’s “Race to the Top” initiative. The school district is one of 500 school districts and community schools in Ohio participating in the program. Bexley will receive $25,000 a year over the next four years. According to the U.S. Department of Education’s Web site, the Race to the Top fund is a “competitive grant program designed to encourage and reward states that are creating the conditions for education innovation and reform; achieving significant improvement in student outcomes; ensuring student preparation for success in college and careers and implementing ambitious plans in four core education reform areas.” The school district learned in November it had been awarded the funding. District educators have been planning on how to use the funding. Funds will be used to pay teacher stipends and to pay substitute teachers, according to Anne Hyland, Bexley City School’s director of curriculum and development, so educators can complete the work required by the program. Teachers will receive a stipend for working beyond their con-

tract day including after school, in the evening and during the summer, Hyland said. Substitutes will be needed so teachers can participate in continuing education. As part of the Race to the Top program, the state of Ohio has developed new standards for math, science, language arts and social studies. Hyland said in some cases district curriculum will need to be revised to reflect those changes. “All that we needed to do anyway,” Hyland said. “Race to the Top compresses all of that work over a four-year period of time.” Hyland said 37 states have agreed to use the same common course standards in math and language arts. The focus of the program is to have students be college and career ready when they leave high school, she added. Participating schools will have to evaluate 21st Century skills like leadership, collaboration, creativity, open mindedness, problem solving and communiSee FUNDS, page A2
Bexley grads hope to break world record By TARA STUBBS-FIGURSKI ThisWeek Community Newspapers Two Bexley High school graduates are hoping to help break the record for the longest hand shake on Jan. 14 in New York City’s Times Square. “The best way to put this is over the past year-and-a-half to two years I have had this fascination with world record breaking,” said Jason Soll, a 2008 BHS graduate. “Although I have no record under my name there is something so captivating about breaking Guinness Records that has made me curious.” Soll, the organizer of the event, is friends with BHS 2008 graduate Joe Luchsinger and John-Clark Levin, one of the teams compet-
ing to break the handshake record. Levin is a previous record holder. “The foundation of this fascination is the innovation that goes behind if,” Soll said. “If you want to break a Guinness (record) for the most amount of stamps licked in a minute or the world’s largest handshake there is no defined method for becoming the best in the world.” Other mainstream activities like sports have training methods that have been defined over generations by the greatest performers in their sports, Soll said. When breaking a world record the competitor must develop his or her own training methods. See RECORD, page A3

cation, all items that are eluded to or talked about in Bexley, she said. “They have to show up everywhere,” Hyland said. “Those have to be provided from a teacher point of view.” Teachers will have to create activities or assessments, for instance, that stress communication, with educators and each other, she said. There will be extensive professional development needed to incorporate those skills into the classroom, she said. The second initiative of the program is to have educators look at data available for students and use that data to make ongoing assessments, not just an end of year assessment. Teachers will use available data from the SAT, Advanced Placement Courses and the Ohio Achievement test to keep tabs on students. “All the data we gather over the course of the year teachers will easily access … to make instructional decisions right away and not wait around a year,” she said. In addition to standardized tests the school district has internal tests that will provide data about student achievement like a writing assessment given at the elementary level. Hyland said educators will be able to gather all the data available on a student at one time and see trends in their performance. A third initiative of the Race to the Top focuses on having great teachers and leaders. The emphasis is on making sure every school building in a district has a great teacher or an experienced teacher, not placing all freshman teachers in the

same building, Hyland said. It also focuses on interviewing candidates to make sure the best teachers are hired. “We don’t have an issue with that,” Hyland said. “We have so many candidates. But we can always get better at how we do that.” School districts in the program will also be required to implement an assessment appraisal system for teachers and administrators, Hyland said. The state of Ohio will develop a rubric for evaluating educators including teachers and guidance counselors. Bexley will focus on building up people’s strengths so they become better educators. “The state wants goals for every single educator,” Hyland said. The Race to the Top also focuses on bringing up the lowest performing schools in the state and organizing a team of administrators to watch over the program. Hyland said Bexley opted not to request funding for those two initiatives as part of the grant. The ultimate goal of the program is to build on the strengths of schools districts. The U.S. lags behind many other countries in terms of educating its students, Hyland said. The Race to the Top aims to close the gap. The emphasis is on seeing improvement in a short period of time. “By having it four years it doesn’t stretch it out,” she said. “It’s compressed in a tight period of time. This is aggressive from a federal point of view. It’s quite a bit of money. We need to stop talking about it and get moving on it.” tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

feel for their expertise. Simon said the library is looking for additional homework help center volunteers but volunteers must be willing to commit to a weekly schedule at least two hours a week. “Students tend to come in the same day and like to work with the same people each time,” she said. The homework help center was a campaign promise made to voters during the 2009 levy campaign, Simon said. “This was a promise to the community as was the teen center that we have also finished here,” Simon said. In November 2009, voters approved a 1.5-mill, five-year operating levy to generate $689,000 a year to help the library offset the loss of state funding.

RECORD Continued from page A1 Soll said he has always been fascinated with the innovation of breaking world records and saw the world’s longest handshake as an interesting opportunity to bring all the record-breakers from around the world together at the same time in the same venue to compete in a headto-head charity competition. The current record for longest running handshake is a little over 20 hours. The record has been submitted but not officially processed by Guinness, Soll said. He is anticipating that the Times Square event will run anywhere from 24 to 48 hours, with the ultimate goal of burying the record so no one will ever attempt to break it again. Soll has been working diligently to gather competitors from around the world to participate in the contest, acquiring sponsorships and the permits necessary to compete in Times Square. To date there are four teams signed up to compete in the longest handshake competition. There are two teams from the United States – Los Angeles and San Francisco – plus teams from Nepal and New Zealand, led by one of the greatest Guinness Record-breakers, Alastair Galpin. Each team will have two competitors. tstubbs@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

their work in progress. “It was kind of like a breath of fresh air to get to work with someone who is not a professor or student … someone in the industry,” she said. “His business depends on what we do. If we make it fabulously he is going to sell more.” Some of the projects were cut throughout the process, Weiland said, so the display ended up with about 20 mannequins wearing the paper garments. A panel of judges selected the three best creations. The winners received 12-inch miniature mannequins in gold, silver and bronze leaf created by Pucci sculptor Michael Evert. Weiland and her partner Meredith Lyon earned second place in the competition. While the students were working on the projects, Weiland said it never crossed their minds that it was a competition. “We felt safe, confident in ourselves,” she said. “In the end, once everything was set up the show-
room looked awesome. There were awards to be given out. When we got second place it was a really nice surprise.” Weiland left on Jan. 5 to set up her Macy’s window display for the project. The mannequins will be on display through Jan. 27. When she began the project she had no knowledge of mannequin companies. “It is crazy,” she said. “It is really surreal. Apparently, Ralph Pucci is one of the best. The further we got in the competition, the more I realized how big a deal this was. All the press we’ve gotten is insane.” The biggest challenge for Weiland was working with paper. She said all of the participants failed to realize how challenging it was going to be to apply paper to a body. She and her partner arranged a series of interlocking triangles for their design.

Bexley High School graduate Beatrice Weiland recently had a rare opportunity to work with fashion designer Ralph Pucci as part of her experiences at the Pratt Institute in New York City. In collaboration between Pratt and Pucci, students had the opportunity to dress the designer’s new “Girl 2” collection of abstract featureless mannequins in paper. The presentation called “Pratt + Paper & Ralph Pucci,” opened Jan. 10 on Broadway in Macy’s windows. Originally 50 students from four different disciplines at Pratt – interior, industrial, fashion design and fine arts – were asked to create designs and sculptures in paper. About half were selected to participate in the Pucci exhibit. Weiland said the project was a competition between all the different departments at Pratt. Students began working on the creations in September with participants from the fashion department selected by the head of the department. “She told us that we were going to be dressing mannequins and we were only allowed to use paper,” Weiland said. “It was an interesting concept. We’ve been working on it the entire time until December when we set it up in the (Pucci) showroom.” The goal of the fashion project is for Pucci to sell the mannequins to retailers like Macy’s and Bergdorf Goodman, Weiland said. Students had two to three checkpoints with the designer, Weiland said and were required to present

Articles provided food for thought for Bexley Which brings these comments to the second article, “Land use findings.” It tells us where Bexley might be in the future. With zoning reforms, revised infrastructure, an expanded view of developing under-developed areas of the city, Bexley can grow in a way that benefits all of us. But may I suggest, along with the recommendations we’ll hear on January 25, we need an over-arching vision of Bexley from which flows a comprehensive plan and time lines for implementation. For example, one part of the vision could be working toward
“Main Street, Bexley — a cultural and performing Arts and Entertainment District” to take full advantage of unique assets, such as Capital U’s music, The Drexel, Trinity’s pipe organ, existing fine art galleries, etc. I hope others will share their vision and embrace strategic planning. Mr. Kessler’s group deserves kudos and support lest these findings suffer the same fate as so many of our other “studies” in past years — nice work, but…. Jan Zupnick Bexley

To the editor: Thank you for the two articles “Diversity of area a mixed blessing” and “Land-use finding” (January 6). Read together, they provide food for thought for everyone in Bexley. The first, “Mixed Blessing,” tells us where we are today on Main Street. That is, 40 percent of our prime commercial district’s land is being used for institutional or tax-exempt purposes. I don’t agree with the article’s assessment that 40 percent of our prime commercial district being institutional and tax exempt is a blessing (even if mixed). But it is what it is; and, in the future, we need to keep in mind the principle of highest and best use as a guide to commercial/business development. We need to preserve/encourage commercial development along what’s left of Main Street, including the frontage along the length of Main that could certainly be developed commercially regardless of the “owner’s tax status.” We need to be able to create a critical mass of “amenities” anchored by the Gateway along Main that will snowball into a vibrant, magnetic downtown. By the way, a key development incentive tool mentioned by Mr. Langner, the Tax Increment Financing, cannot grow unless taxable property values increase with new development or redevelopment.

FAB 5 By Jim Fischer

1 One day, a presently-young
film composer/pianist will perform a concert paying tribute to Dave Grusin, the Academy Award-winning film composer who, this weekend, pays tribute to film composer Henry Mancini in concerts with the Columbus Jazz Orchestra. Or at least if there’s any justice, one will. Point being, Grusin’s career is heavily influenced by the great Mancini, so it would be appropriate to carry on the tradition. The CJO program is “A Night at the Movies,” and features Mancini tunes like The Pink Panther Theme and Baby Elephant Walk alongside other classic film repertoire, including Somewhere Over the Rainbow and As Time Goes By.
Dave Grusin
A jazz pianist (and record label exec — he’s the “G” in contemporary jazz giant GRP Records) as well as composer, Grusin’s film scores include Heaven Can Wait, On Golden Pond and Tootsie. Tickets for the Jan. 14-15 concerts at the Southern Theatre are $41-$49. Call (614) 294-5200.
STOMP is still cool. And hot, evidenced by the continuing presence of a North American Company, a permanent London Company and a European tour, all in addition to its 14-year continuous run in New York City. The brooms, plungers, trash cans and lighters are all back, but the troupe is always on the lookout for new “instruments” — this latest tour includes tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans.

Scotland-born David Francey has made his home in the Toronto area since his family moved there when he was a youngster. His upbringing in a working-class neighborhood imbues his songwriting with a poetic sense of the day-to-day. His latest work is a collaboration with Mike Ford of Moxy Früvous, inspired by their two-week journey aboard a 750foot bulk carrier on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Amelia Curran is a Maritimes native and resident for whom songwriting is but one of her pursuits — she is also a playwright and actress.

Scampering waiters and above-average food at new Poblano’s MENU Except for the hardest-working and quickest-moving wait staff in town — servers literally, stunningly and unfailingly jog across its wide-open and winding-around spaces — Poblano’s is nothing you haven’t seen before. That said, this bright and tidy newish Mexican restaurant’s food was consistently a cut above the norm. Occupying a rambling, double-decker edifice spread out over several rooms, Poblano’s is a big and splashy establishment. Kind of fun in a kitschy and touristy way, its brash color scheme alternates from one tropically tinted wall to the next. So as your head whirls as you try to follow that kinetic wait staff moving to the beat of relentlessly uptempo cumbia music, your eyes will rush past tones like tan-
by G.A. Benton gerine orange, avocado green, mango yellow and chili pepper red. After the arrival of fresh and above-average chips and salsa, you’re probably going to want some of the slightly orange-flavored house margaritas. I recommend the worth-it upcharge for a lasts-forever (and potent!) half pitcher of “Poblano’s” Margaritas ($17) made with Hornitos tequila and Cointreau. Appetizer-wise, though the homey, oregano-flecked and salty chicken and tortilla soups were both pleasant enough (each $2.50), my favorite starter was the extra-large and super-valued

The El Amigo entrée and Tres Leches cake at Poblano’s.
Whitefish Ceviche ($6.50). I liked how its abundant, creamy and unblemished avocado chunks calmed down the assertive yet enticing fresh lime juice mixture
(with diced tomato and onion) in which the plentiful chopped raw fish was “cooked.” From the “House Specialties” entrees, El Amigo ($15) will definitely live up to its name and be your friend — if, like me, you’re a big eater. A virtual Mexican smorgasbord on a single plate, it was spilling over with nicely seared shrimp plus rice and beans (they grace most every meal and yes, they’re better than most), crisply grilled slices of thin beef (carne aside) and a boneless, skinless chicken breast. Both terrestrial proteins tasted great beneath their layers of rich melted Mexican cheese and zesty, greasy chorizo (but what wouldn’t?) Real Mexican chiles rellenos have an eggier batter than you generally get in America. Since I got something approximating that at Poblano’s, I’d rate theirs

($10.50) on the higher side. I mixed and matched a chicken (stewy) with a beef (hamburger vastly improved by being cooked with onion, carrot and potato) to fine effect. Though I doubt it was completely made from scratch, the mole sauce on my Enchiladas Poblanos ($9.50) was thicker, less sweet, richer and more complex (tasting of roasted chilies with a hint of cinnamon) than average.
It was slathered over a trio of tortillas wrapped around chicken stewed with rajas (roasted poblano pepper strips). Nice. Also quite nice was a massive platter of Chile Verde ($11). That one featured huge chunks of tender, stewy pork shoulder enlivened by a piquant tomatillo salsa. I’m a sucker for Pastel de Tres Leches, and Poblano’s version ($4.50) did not disappoint. Soaked in sweetened condensed milk, slightly perfumey and elaborately decorated with caramel icing piped into rococo decorations, it was a piece of cake that tasted as good as it looked. To read G.A.

Powell pizzeria serves up classic New York-style pies After Brooklyn Pizza opened on New Year’s Day, the New Yorkers started filing in. One guy was from Brooklyn, another from Staten Island. Long Island was represented, as was Albany. Owner Anthony La Cerva didn’t know there were so many Empire State transplants living in central Ohio. “There’s a lot of pressure on me,” he said. But it seems he has a hot, cheesedripping commodity – a New York-style pizza, complete with a crispy, foldable crust, 100-percent mozzarella and a house-mixed sauce. “The only thing that’s missing is the water,” he said. La Cerva’s goal was to create a true pizzeria, similar to the ones his father owned in the New York metropolitan area. “When I was a kid, I was stuck at a table folding pizza boxes,” he said. Thin-crust pizzas, cut into triangles no less, appeared to be an anomaly in central Ohio. Rarer still were by-theslice options. “Maybe the pizza places (in town) don’t think they make enough money on it,” he said. “I’m stumped. In New York, they’re all over the place.” Brooklyn Pizza, a carryout at 30 Grace Drive, has taken over the former Joshua’s Pizza in a strip center just north

of the restaurant-laden intersection at Liberty and Olentangy streets. La Cerva said he’s somewhat concerned about the lack of foot traffic in his strip center but is confident his product is singular enough to draw people from all over the region. “I want to be the exclusive,” he said. “Everybody’s going to have to come over here.” Pies come in 14 and 16 inches, plus a 16-by-16 Sicilian alternative. Toppings include the traditional to more designer choices, such as roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes. A 16-inch

Liberty St. She admits that most customers haven’t even heard of it. “But once they taste it, they love it,” said Starling, who ran the Sunbury Grill for three years. It has myriad uses – for example, complementing omelets – or is enjoyable as a side, she said. Starling’s customers can get a GLT – a goetta, lettuce and tomato sandwich. She also has a parade of homemade dishes, including buttermilk biscuits and gravy, soups, chili, pancakes and such. Her potatoes are fresh-cut and her burgers are hand-patted. Prices range from $3 for a la carte items to $7.99 for meals. “I love to cook. I like to cook anything,” she said. “I’m not much of a baker. I love to cook comfort food that fills people up.” Jodi’s Home Cooking is open for breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday. For more information, call 614-785-0474.

Athletes share wishes for 2011 The beginning of the year brings a chance to set goals and kindle hopes of good things that could occur. Here are the 2011 wishes of some of central Ohio’s top high school athletes. Stevie Taylor, Gahanna boys basketball: “I wish that my team LARRY stays unbeatLARSON en throughout the season and, personally, that I can break the school scoring record.” Abby Chin, Upper Arlington girls swimming: “My wish for 2011 is to swim NCAA cut times and Olympic trial cut times so I can be ready for 2012.” Kyle Annis, Hilliard Davidson football: “My wish for the new year would just be for everyone to be safe and enjoy time with their families.” Hannah Stefanoff, Grandview cross country and track: “My new year’s wish is to have a healthy winter of training which can lead into a successful track season this spring and to stay positive through these winter months.” Joey Tomko, Gahanna baseball: “I wish that my family and friends have a healthy 2011. I hope that all my friends graduate and have successful college careers.” Chris Diaz, Watterson boys tennis: “My wish for 2011 is to have a great and successful start to four years of college and for college to be the best years of my life up to that point.” Joey Uhle, Olentangy Liberty pole vault: “My wish is real short and simple. I wish for warm weather during the track season.” Nick Netotian, Whitehall boys bowling: “For the new year, I look forward to my final year competing with my teammates on the bowling and baseball teams at Whitehall. I am also very excited about graduating with my class of 2011 and starting college this fall.” Ron Tanner, Eastmoor Academy football and basketball: “In 2011, I would like to truly get better every day. If I begin to improve every day, then I know I will be the best that I can be.” May all of you have your wishes come true in the coming year. I’ll see you at a game.

Bexley Roundup
Boys buying into team defense By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Bexley High School boys basketball team continues to work on shoring up its defense. “We’re starting to get the concept of team defense,” said coach Dave Gustin, whose team lost to Newark Catholic 6355 last Friday to fall to 4-4 overall. “We’re starting to understand that the parts of the defense make the whole. We’ve done a good job of denying the posts.” The problem, Gustin said, has been stopping teams from hitting shots from beyond the 3-point line. The Green Wave made a season-high eight 3-pointers against the Lions. Through eight games, Bexley allowed 38 3-pointers. The Lions face another good 3-point shooting team on Friday when they visit Licking Valley. The Panthers averaged four 3-pointers a contest through eight games and hit shots from beyond the arc in a 44-42 win over Whitehall last Friday. “Our guards are going to have to pressure their guards and almost faceguard their 3-point shooters,” said senior Jon Primes, a 6-foot-2 post player who was averaging 16 points and seven rebounds through eight games. “The rest of the team is going to have to help out on defense.” Gustin credits Primes for helping re-

build the Lions, who graduated three players from a team that finished 20-3 overall and shared the MSL-Ohio title with Newark Catholic last season. Last season, Primes averaged only two points while playing behind 2010 graduate Reuel Rogers. Primes said Rogers went from being a player he was competing with for playing time to being his mentor. “It was frustrating, but I remember after the third game Reuel said, ‘You’ll get your chance next year,’” Primes said. “He and I became best friends. Every time he’d go to the weight room, I’d say,
‘Let me tag along with you.’ He made sure I did what I needed to do. I don’t think I’d be playing like this if he weren’t around.” Primes, who had 20 points against Newark Catholic, scored in double figures in six of the Lions’ first eight games. He was held to nine points in a 66-45 loss to Heath on Dec. 11 and scored only five points in a 51-44 loss to Granville on Dec. 21. Primes had 29 points and 12 rebounds in a 114-108 triple-overtime win over Licking Heights on Dec. 3. “He’s our basketball junkie,” Gustin
said. “I see the improvements he has made everywhere, from the classroom to the locker room, to his stats to his defense. In the summer and the fall, you could see he was really into it.” Primes said his improvement on the court started with a change of attitude in the classroom. After moving to Bexley from Canton, he struggled academically as a freshman but had a 3.8 grade point average last quarter. “When I moved here, all I was concerned about was sports and my grades See LIONS, page B2

St. Charles’ Dane McLoughlin (right) defends Watterson’s Jake Brobst during the Cardinals’ 42-32 home win Jan. 5.
The St. Charles Preparatory School basketball team hasn’t beaten DeSales in more than six years. The Cardinals, who have lost 11 consecutive meeting with the Stallions, hope to end that streak Friday when they play host to DeSales in a CCL contest. Their last win over DeSales was a 63-61 decision on Dec. 17, 2004. Despite the losing streak, St. Charles holds a 41-40 edge in the all-time series. “It’s a CCL game and our No. 1 goal is to win the CCL,” senior guard Joe Spahr said. “We have the game marked on the calendar, but we have all the CCL games marked.” The Stallions improved to 5-3 overall with a 50-43 win over Jonathan Alder last Saturday. They lost to Hartley 51-40 last Friday, snapping a 50-game home winning streak. “We have to come out strong,” senior forward J. Schroeder said. “We have to stop their penetration and cut down on our turnovers.”
Below are the recent results and coming schedules for the St. Charles basketball and bowling teams: BASKETBALL Dec. 21 — Lost to Eastmoor Academy 44-42. Dane McLoughlin scored 10 points. Dec. 22 — Lost to Columbus West 6967. McLoughlin scored 24 points, Jimmy Ryan had 15 and J. Schroeder added 14. Dan Hennessey had nine. *Dec. 27 — Lost to Hartley 44-42. McLoughlin scored 18 points. Dec. 30 — Defeated Hilliard Bradley 39-37. McLoughlin scored 15 points and Joe Spahr scored 13.

Hartley Roundup
Wrestling team enters CIT with complete lineup By CORY STEGER ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Hartley High School wrestling team knows it faces a stern test when it competes in the 50th annual Catholic Invitational Tournament on Saturday and Sunday at Toledo Central Catholic. However, the Hawks are eager to see how they fare at the event, which features nearly 40 parochial schools from around the state, as they expect to have a full lineup for the first time this season. Hartley started the season late because of its football team’s run to the Division IV state championship. Coach Kevin Petrella expected to have almost a full lineup for the Marion Harding Classic held Dec. 28-29, but not all of the wrestlers made weight and only six competed in the 31-team event. “Obviously, we want to win and do well (at the CIT), but we just don’t have the firepower to compete for a team title,” Petrella said. “We just want to keep working to get better. We want to beat the guys we’re supposed to beat and beat some others that we’re not expected to beat as well.” The expected lineup for the CIT is Dominique Scott at 103 pounds, Grant Rathburn at 112, Jason Mercier at 125, Jordan Zang at 171, Napoleon Bell at 189, Evan Jackson at 215 and Jordan Dickerson at heavyweight. Three weight classes _ 130, 135 and 140 _ are yet to be determined, and Petrella isn’t sure
if Drake Jones (152) is able to wrestle because of a hamstring injury. Thus far, the Hawks have done relatively well considering the late start. Of the six Hawks who competed in the Marion Harding Classic, three of them placed. Zang was runner-up, Jackson finished third and Dickerson was fourth. “That was our first real competition and I thought we performed well,” Petrella said. “We lost a few matches that I think if we wrestle (those opponents) again later in the year that we’ll win.” Believing the Hawks have the potential to win the CCL title and have postseason success, Petrella continues to push his team. “I always have a lot higher expectations of the guys, and the assistant (coaches) have to remind me it can take some time,” he said. “We’ve seen some good stuff so far, but there are still things we need to fine-tune. I don’t want to say I’m pleased with where we’re at right now, but we’re definitely moving in the correct direction.” •The boys basketball team remained undefeated after beating DeSales 51-40 last Friday and Westerville Central 6250 last Saturday. Hartley didn’t play its first game until Dec. 22 because of the football team’s postseason run. Yet, the late start hasn’t slowed the Hawks, who enter Friday’s game at Watterson 8-0 overall and 3-0 in the CCL.

“I’m happy from the retrospective that the guys have been in a whirlwind and we’ve been playing a lot recently,” coach Randy Kortokrax said. “It’s very busy, so it’s nice to start to get on a regular rotation that’s more familiar. We figured the DeSales game would be a big one, and that it would give us a good indication of where we’re at.” The win over DeSales broke the Stallions’ 50-game home winning streak.

Ready is last at 0-3. The Cardinals have been a streaky team. They won their first two games, beating Central Crossing 62-44 on Dec. 3 and Groveport 41-31 on Dec. 11, before losing their next three contests, falling to Eastmoor Academy 44-42 on Dec. 21, Columbus West 69-67 on Dec. 22 and Hartley 44-42 on Dec. 27.

“We have to win the rebounding battle,” Strode said. “We’re not the tallest and we’re not the longest team, but we have to get the rebounds from eight feet and in. Our goal is to reduce our fouls and to make more free throws than our opponents attempt.” The biggest area of improvement has been the Lions’ defense.

team chemistry, as it totaled 18 assists and had four players score in double figures. “That’s the kind of balance you want to see,” Kortokrax said. “Our goal is to get four guys in double figures every game. We share the ball well enough to do that.” •The girls basketball team rode a three-game losing streak into last Wednesday’s game against Wellington. The Hawks play a CCL contest today at Ready and a league game Saturday at Columbus School for Girls. Following the game with CSG, the Hawks have six days off before playing host to Ready on Jan. 22. “Right now, we just need to finish our shots,” coach Mike Lanza said. “We’re running the offense really well but missing some shots. Once we starting knocking those shots down, we’ll be OK because we’re playing well defensively.” With no go-to player for offense, Hartley has had to rely on balanced scoring. Lanza has praised having a balanced offense in the past, but he said at times it can be a negative as well. “It’s been a team thing. We really do things well as a unit,” Lanza said. “We don’t have a standout scorer and that’s a good thing, but it can be a bad thing as well because we’re either all hot or we’re all cold.”
