All-day kindergarten
Future of district program is uncertain By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers Worthington is one of only a few central Ohio school districts that offer allday kindergarten. But unless Ohio legislators act quickly, that program could be gone next year. House Bill 1, part of former Gov. Ted Strickland’s education reform package approved two years ago, mandates that
all Ohio districts offer a full-day kindergarten program to all students beginning next school year. It also requires that the program be free, which puts a strain on districts like Worthington that charge a fee. Currently parents pay $220 a month for the full-day program, called K-plus. Without that tuition, the program would cost taxpayers approximately $1-million a year.
With further cuts in state funding looming, finding that much money for the kindergarten program would be difficult, Superintendent of Schools Melissa Conrath said. Educators are counting on a bill being prepared in the Ohio House that would cancel the all-day kindergarten mandate, and would allow districts like Worthington to continue to charge tuition. “This is an avenue we want to make
sure we support,” she said. “It would return control back to local school districts.” Timing is crucial. Parents begin registering children for kindergarten in March. Currently, they are being told to prepare both for a tuition-based, all-day program, and for the possibility that K-plus may not be offered next year. While lobbying for the bill being sponsored by Rep. Randy Gardner, R-Bowling Green, school officials are also ready-
ing their own back-up plan. At its meeting next Monday, the school board will consider a motion to request from the Ohio Department of Education a waiver relieving the district of the allday, tuition-free mandate. Though the district still would not be permitted to charge a fee to parents, a waiver would allow it to offer the fullSee KINDERGARTEN, page A2

fices for coaches and public restrooms. The $250,000 facility will be paid for by the TWHS Diamond Club. The 2,150 square-foot splash pad will provide additional play area at the Worthington pools. It will be located at the southeast corner of the pool complex. The chain link fence will be moved to make room for the pad. Splash pads are the most popular features being constructed at pools, parks, and malls across the country, according to Swiminc general manager Dick Rabold. They are aquatic play areas with
water. All of the water immediately drains and is filtered, treated, and recycled. A new wood 16 feet by 20 feet building will house filtering and metering equipment. It will be painted beige with green shingles to match the picnic shelter. Landscaping will separate the splash pad from the adult pool. The splash pad will cost approximately $220,000.

A closer look The Worthington Division of Fire and the Franklin County Code Enforcement agency both inspected the property and found violations.
“The condition of the property is not indicative of the character and quality of most of the properties in the Worthington area,” he said. The issue was brought to the attention of government entities last summer, when AEP cut down trees and left trunks and debris on the property. That was eventually cleaned up, but discussions took off from there. The Worthington Division of Fire and the Franklin County Code Enforcement agency both inspected the property and found violations. Greeson and Oberle point to the progress as a good example of governments working well together. “We’ve got a responsibility to keep our neighborhoods safe and nice,” Oberle said. “It can’t happen overnight, but a path to progress has been identified.” As for the neighbors, they will continue to keep an eye on the property and continue to oppose any rezoning from residential that would negatively affect the area. “They would love to see it gone,” Weislogel said. cbrooks@thisweeknews.com

Staats died this past Sunday night, succumbing to the cancer that she had fought for many months. “We knew she had been ill, but we were very saddened to hear the news today,” said city spokesperson Anne Brown.

Forty years ago, neighbors worked together to halt a rezoning request that would have resulted in a service station on the southwest corner of West DublinGranville and Olentangy River roads. There have been other battles over the years, but the primary concern has been the appearance of the long-vacant house and abutting wooded lot on what should be one of the community’s premiere gateway properties. “It’s just been disgusting to look at,” said neighbor Jane Weislogel, who is pleased that the city of Worthington, Sharon Township, and Franklin County are finally addressing the neighborhood’s concerns. So far, the county has issued two letters of code violation to the property’s trustee, said township trustee John Oberle. There was no response by the deadline cited in the letters, therefore the issue has been turned over to the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office, he said. “Eventually, if the code violations are not corrected, the trustee could be ordered to clean it up or raze the property,” he said. The trustee listed on the deed is attorney Thomas Maloney, said city manager Matt Greeson. The property is located in the township, but its proximity to the city and its appearance are concerns, he said.

Downtown magic show to highlight the art of illusion By GARY SEMAN JR. ThisWeek Community Newspapers Ron Spangler remembers the trip to his first Magi-Fest well. He didn’t make it. In 1978, he was headed there with a friend but a terrible snowstorm forced his mom to turn the car around and go home. Three years later, he successfully attended what he says is one of the biggest and oldest magic conventions in the country, and he hasn’t missed once since. Spangler, an Upper Arlington resident, has been named director of the 79-year-old convention, to be held Jan. 27-29 at the Renaissance Columbus Downtown Hotel. The Columbus convention, established in January 1932, is expected to draw about 600 people from across the country. “Every magician convention has a different angle,” said Spangler, a mechanical engineer. “One of our particular angles is we want to be a family-friendly convention. We
want to be known for that.” While the convention is generally for practitioners and devotees of magic, the general public is invited to attend the convention’s annual magic show at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 at Veterans Memorial. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children. They are available online at www.magifest.com or will be on sale at the box office the night of the show. The headliner is Greg Frewin, who has his own theater in Niagara Falls. Spangler described it as a Las Vegas-style magical review, complete with a juggler, dancers and assistants. Meanwhile, the convention involves magic shows, lectures, competitions and sales of merchandise. The origins of Magi-Fest can be traced to two Ohio magic dealers, Sylvester Reilly and Robert Nelson. They co-founded Ring No. 7, a local chapter of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, in 1928. Spangler, 47, described the convention as a sort of family reunion, with a lot of veter-

For example, the district might choose to return to a lottery system, allowing enrollment to those whose names are randomly selected; it could offer a modified extended-day program to children with special needs; or it could cancel K-plus altogether. At the Jan. 10 meeting, school board member David Bressman declared he would oppose any attempt to cancel the program. Other programs should be considered for reductions, and the community asked for input before the board cuts K-plus, he said. “I can foresee no circumstances in which I would support dis-

ans of the convention introducing their children to the craft. “With a lot of kids, it just sticks. It stays with them. It stayed with me,” he said, adding that he doesn’t get to perform as much as he did in the past. Magic has changed over the past few decades, especially with the arrival of the Internet, which has revealed many closely guarded secrets, Spangler said. “If people really want to find it they can find it,” he said. “So magicians are trying to reinvent themselves to keep it fresh.” Jim King Sr. of wholesale supplier MAK Magic on the West Side has been involved with the convention for about 50 years. He said he’s watched participation grow, as well as interest in magic in recent years. “There’s more activity with magic, partly because of the Internet,” he said. “People can get on there and see stuff they normally wouldn’t see.” gseman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

mantling the K-plus program,” he said. The program began in 2002, with only a few classes spread across the district. It eventually grew to one class at each school, and now is offered at all elementary schools to any parent who chooses to pay for the program. That is approximately 80 percent, Conrath said. The rest of the kindergartners attend traditional, half-day programs. Designed to be self-supporting, that became impossible when HB 1 required that tuition return to its 2007-08 level. That meant lowering the fee from $240 a month. If the district is permitted to continuing offering K-plus, the fee would probably increase at least to its former level, Conrath said.

Decorators’ Show House
Sneak Peek will offer a ‘before’ look
Grove City . . .
By GARY BUDZAK
Where people visiting Columbus stay
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Decorators’ Show House isn’t new to Upper Arlington, but this year’s plan for a “Sneak Peek” of the home is brand-new. The Sneak Peek, a fundraiser for the Columbus Museum of Art, will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday, Jan. 28-30, at a Spanish revival style home at 4125 Oxford Drive, just east of Riverside Drive. Admission is $5. Visitors attending the Sneak Peek will get a chance to see the home’s 18 interior and four exterior spaces before it is transformed by local designers for the 2011 Decorators’ Show House, held April 30-May 22. “The Sneak Peek is a new venture for us,” said DSH co-chair Robin Comfort. “Indianapolis and other show houses around the country do a similar thing. We thought it’s really a nice idea because everyone likes to see the room before the designers get hold of it.” This year’s home was built in 1928 and sits on almost two acres. Among the people who have lived in the home were a cartoonist and a Kentucky Fried Chicken vice president, and its visitors included Dave Thomas and James A. Rhodes. “The (chairs) look for a house that has history and is architecturally interesting,” said Pat Hayden, president of the CMA’s Women’s Board. “If you’re dealing with a newer house, you might

not get the architectural detail, but you get the room size. They look for a place that people will enjoy coming to, that there will be a story to tell, where there will be grounds that tend to be landscaped and where the interiors lend themselves to the designers coming in and doing what they do best.” Preparations for the DSH began last spring, Hayden said. Comfort was driving around and saw the home, which was for sale. She contacted the realtor, and since the updates made by the decorators tend to add value to the home, the present owners were thrilled to be part of the Show House, Comfort said.
A lottery for designers was held, with each designer choosing a room to redo. They’ll show design boards of their plans for the space to the owners. “It’s like a blank slate or an empty creative palette that they’re working with,” Comfort said. In return for donating their time, talent and materials, the designers get potential new clients after visitors see their room transformations. “This is just an amazing thing, because people come and they want to know what they can do for their home,” Comfort. “Their creativity triggers something in a lot of people, and they can take it
home and replicate it.” Hayden said the museum started doing the biennial Decorator’s Show Houses in 1975. The 18 prior DSH events have raised more than $3-million for the museum.

volunteering to help others an important part of his life. He reminded the audience that in a speech the night before his death, King said he just wanted to do God’s will. “What good am I if I attend church and don’t apply what I received by helping others?” Watts asked. He urged everyone to make time to volunteer to help those who have less. Just do something, he said. “They will be glad you came to help,” he said.

As it were
Columbus 1861: growing, — with the pains to prove it Columbus in the early days of 1861 was a town with a very good feeling about itself. Over the past few decades, Ohio’s capital city had grown from an almost invisible village of fewer than 2,000 inhabitants into a thriving city of more than 18,000 people. Other cities in Ohio were doing considerably better, to be sure. Cincinnati was the largest city in the state and indeed in the region. It was “the Queen City of the ED West.” And Cleveland to LENTZ the north was growing rapidly as well. It was not as large as most other Ohio cities, but it soon would be. But Columbus in 1861 was doing quite well and showed every sign of even greater progress in the next few years to come. It was not hard to see why. In the early 1830s, Columbus was a village of fewer than 3,000 people. Since it was created by the Ohio General Assembly in 1812, the town had grown slowly but surely. Then, in the early 1830s, the Ohio Canal and the National Road arrived in Columbus. In less than two years, Columbus moved from being a village of 3,000 to a city of 5,000. And the growth of the city was far from over. In the 1840s and 1850s, Columbus became a major center of transportation and trade. And most of the growth of those years had little to do with canals or the national road. It was the coming of the railroad that made all the difference. In 1850, the Columbus and Xenia Railroad chugged into Columbus and established itself at the northern boundary of the city, where the convention center is today. In case one might wonder why a railroad was built to Xenia — a nice place, but rather small — the answer lay with people who had little to do with the town. Xenia was a terminal point for the Little Miami Railroad. Board a train in Columbus and with a change, one would soon be in Cincinnati — where perhaps one wanted to be in the first place. What was it like to live in Columbus in 1861? In a few words, it was smelly, noxious and a little on the dangerous side. If we could take you back right now to the Columbus of 1861 and put you down at Broad and High streets, you would immediately notice several things. First, you would probably notice that your eyes were watering. The reason for this was not hard to find. Columbus in 1861 is a city that runs on coal. Burning coal heats one’s house, powers one’s business and is commonly used for many other purposes. Over the city hangs a pall of black smoke. The ash from that smoke clings to clothing and hair and seeps into the lungs. It will stain the brick of German Village houses and cling to the gravestones in the Old North Graveyard, where the North Market is today. Second, you would probably notice the smell of the city. Columbus in 1861 is a city where most people walk most of the time. The

residents walk to school and to church. They walk to the market and walk to their business and other interests. When the people of Columbus are not walking, they are riding in a conveyance pulled by horses. The streets are full of horses — pulling carriages, and wagons and simple buggies. And all of those horses leave in the city streets a lot of what horses leave behind. A whole crew of convicted criminals spends most of their days walking the streets and picking up the detritus of the horses. But the most dangerous part of Columbus was the part most people never saw. The average life expectancy of an adult male in Columbus in 1861 was considerably less than 50 years. Unlike our own time, the life expectancy of adult women was even less. The death rate among women was higher because of complications of childbirth. The death rate among both men and women was higher because of a number of ailments for which vaccines and other curative medicines had yet to be discovered. In spite of all of these dangers and disagreeable aspects, people continued to come to the city of Columbus. They came for the same reasons people have been coming to cities for the past several hundred years: The city was where opportunity was waiting. To really appreciate the wonder of a city like Columbus, all one had to do in 1860 was wander to the middle of town and gaze across Statehouse Square. Rising from the middle of the square was one of the great buildings in 19thcentury America. More than 20 years earlier, in 1839, the small, frontier state of
Ohio had decided to build a new statehouse. It was thought the building would be done in two years and cost about $200,000. The Statehouse took 22 years to build and cost $2,200,000. But now it was finally done. Occupied in 1857 after the old Statehouse burned in 1852, the new Statehouse was finally completed in 1861. It was worth the wait. It is one of America’s truly great buildings and a reflection of the strong and dedicated people who built it. On Feb. 13, 1861, Abraham Lincoln, soon to be inaugurated as President of the United States, passed through Columbus. After speaking to the Ohio General Assembly, he moved to the steps of the state capitol and spoke to the people. He concluded his brief remarks by saying, “I am doubly thankful that you have appeared here to give me this greeting. It is not much for me, as I shall soon pass away from you, but we have a large country and a large future before us, and the manifestations of goodwill towards the government, and affection for the Union which you may exhibit are of immense value to you and your posterity forever. (applause) In this point of view, it is that I thank you most heartily for the exhibition you have given me and with that allow me to bid you an affectionate farewell.” (deafening applause and cheers) In less than two months the “affection for the Union” of Columbus, Ohio, and the rest of the nation would be tested as never before with the beginning of the American Civil War. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Have You Heard?
Musical Event of the Season! Thursday, January 27, 8 pm
by Greg VanHorssen CAN FOLATE PREVENT HEARING LOSS? The latest study providing evidence that low blood levels of B vitamins (most notably folate) are linked with age-related hearing loss involves a study of nearly 3,000 adults over age 50. When their blood levels of folate, vitamin B12, and homocysteine were compared with their incidence of hearing loss, it was found that those with the lowest levels of folate were 39% more likely to suffer hearing loss. People with the most homocysteine (an amino acid, which folate has been shown to lower in the body) were at 64% greater risk. Researchers suspect that homocysteine is the culprit because it may adversely affect blood flow to the cochlea (the spiral cavity of the inner ear), leading to age-related hearing loss. Research and technology are constantly on the move toward innovative ideas and products to bring back the sounds of life to the hearing impaired. The folate link with age-related hearing loss mentioned above is a perfect examples of this. If you think your hearing is not what it should be and could stand a boost, we invite you to ABSOLUTE HEARlNG SOLUTIONS to see the many marvels that exist today in the hearing industry, all designed to enhance the hearing you have.

Kilbourne’s Gardner steps up game By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Although it didn’t result in any points for the Worthington Kilbourne High School girls basketball team, one play during a 53-39 loss to Thomas Worthington last Friday showed how far junior post player Mary Francis Gardner has come this season. While wrestling for the ball in the fourth quarter, Gardner lifted a Thomas player about four inches off the court before officials whistled the play dead.
The possession went to the Cardinals, but the style points went to Gardner. “Last year, Mary would’ve been the one that got lifted off the floor,” Kilbourne coach Steve Palmer said, chuckling. “It’s all about opportunities. She said, ‘I’m going to bring something special to the team,’ and she’s making the most of her chances.” Gardner and Olivia Zimmerman scored nine points apiece to lead Kilbourne against the Cardinals. Gardner also was the team’s leading scorer with eight points in a 56-23 loss to Jonathan
Alder last Saturday. Her first year as a full-time starter, Gardner was averaging 10.1 points, including a 17-point performance in a 44-39 win over Westerville Central on Dec. 29, over the past seven games after averaging 3.6 points in the first three. After going through a six-inch growth spurt between sixth and eighth grades, Gardner battled dizzy spells during her freshman year and, as a result, didn’t get much playing time. She spent most of last season playing junior varsity but received some varsity time at the
end of the season. “The hardest part was how exhausting it is on your body,” Gardner said of adjusting to being a starter on varsity. “This week, we’ve played back-toback games and three games in a week.” Gardner’s development this season has coincided with the improvement the Wolves have made. At 6-6 overall, Kilbourne already has matched the combined number of wins it had the past two seasons. Even in the loss to Thomas, the Wolves showed signs of improvement.
Since becoming rivals in the OCC-Central Division, the Cardinals had won five consecutive meetings by 20 or more points. Last Friday, the Wolves had a chance to pull within five points with 2 minutes, 30 seconds left to play. The biggest difference has been Kilbourne’s play defensively. Last year, the Wolves allowed an average of 48.3 points per game and allowed 10 opponents to score more than 50. This season, the Wolves are allowing 40.2 See GIRLS, page B2

Thomas enjoys non-CHC games
Cards gain plenty from Kilbourne win By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
At a glance
The way coach Bob Miller sees it, his Thomas Worthington High School boys basketball team earned more than a victory last Friday when it beat Worthington Kilbourne 49-40 in front of a large crowd at home in an OCC-Central Division game. First, Thomas took a step toward regaining community bragging rights by snapping a twogame losing streak to the Wolves and taking a 6-2 lead in the series. Second, the Cardinals bounced back from a 53-51 loss at Central Crossing on Jan. 7 to regain some much needed momentum. “We had a packed house and both student bodies made a lot of noise, so this was a great environment to compete in,” Miller said. “Having the opportunity to play Worthington Kilbourne always means a lot to our kids, and this is a big win for our team. ... Momentum-wise this is good for us, and I hope it will add to our players’ confidence.” The Cardinals exploited their size advantage in the post, as 6foot-10 junior Jordan Cowgill scored 18 points and 6-8 senior David Herbst had eight rebounds and six points. Julian Henderson had 11 rebounds, scored five points and played strong defense against Kilbourne’s leading scorer, Austin Parker. Parker, who was averaging 12.5 points entering the game, scored only seven. “Henderson, Cowgill and Herbst did a good job on the boards and we were able to limit them to one shot for the most part, which was the key to this victory,” Miller said. “Kilbourne likes

Don Harper has been pleased with the play of his Thomas Worthington High School hockey team as it enters the final weeks of league play. The first-year coach said the Cardinals will be ready for the rigors of their Capital Hockey Conference schedule thanks to the diversity of competition from events such as the program’s MLK Tournament, which concluded last Monday at Chiller North. “When we play in tournaments, we go up against teams we normally don’t play. It’s a new style of hockey for us,” said Harper, whose team was 11-8-2 overall after defeating Troy 3-1 in the Red Division second-place game last Monday. “When you play teams from nearby, you go up against guys that you have grown up playing against and they know what you are going to do and you can predict what they will do. Playing against different styles will make us stronger. We learn from that and it makes us better in the long run.” Despite several out-of-area teams in the event, the Cardinals opened the tournament by defeating CHC opponent Olentangy Orange 3-2 in overtime in a nonleague contest last Friday. Kyle Gratz scored twice and Will Byars also had a goal. Jonathan Highley had 30 saves. “I think this just proves to the kids that they can do it,” Harper said. “Orange is one of the toughest teams in our league. We were able to skate with them and beat them.” In last week’s area coaches poll, Orange was seventh behind toprated Dublin Jerome. League play resumes Friday with Jerome and Cincinnati Moeller atop the standings at 81 (16 points) followed by Olentangy Liberty at 7-0 (14). Orange is fourth at 4-3-1 (9) with Thomas at 3-3-2, Olentangy at 4-2 and Gahanna at 4-4 tied for fifth with eight points each. Upper Arlington (3-3-0-1), Dublin Coffman (3-2-1) and St. Charles (3-2-1) are tied for eighth with seven points and Worthington Kilbourne (1-7) is 11th with 2 points. DeSales (0-5-1) is next with one point and Dublin Scioto (0-6) and Watterson (0-9) are last with no points. Last Sunday at Chiller Ice Works, Thomas took a 2-0 lead on Springboro and watched it slip away in a 7-3 loss to set up the second-place Red Division game with Troy. “Springboro is one of the top teams in the state and we went away from our game and started to play their aggressive, hard-hitting style. They definitely had a size advantage on us and they used that against us,” Harper said. “We needed to stay in our game, which is pretty simple. We dump the puck, close it and get it in front of the net.” Freshman Tommy Pischel had

to run, and we also did a good job of slowing them down and not giving up many points in transition. Henderson had his best game defensively. He took away Parker’s drive and kept him off the boards.” Miller hopes his squad will maintain the momentum heading into what he expects to be two tough OCC-Central games. The Cardinals play host Friday to Upper Arlington and play Tuesday at Hilliard Davidson. Thomas lost to UA 65-39 on Dec. 7 and defeated Davidson 40-39 on Dec. 10. Upper Arlington beat Dublin Coffman 53-52 last Friday to improve to 10-0 overall and 7-0 in the OCC-Central. Senior guard Brian Sullivan led UA with 29 points. “Upper Arlington plays outstanding man-to-man defense in your face, and they make it hard to run your offense,” Miller said. See BOYS, page B2
Gymnastics
Thomas pleased with showing at McGee By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Thomas Worthington High School gymnastics team had its best finish in eight years at the McGee Invitational, held last Saturday at Dublin Coffman. But the best part of the Cardinals’performance in the 16-team meet is that they know they have the ability to do even better. “We didn’t by any means have our best meet,” said coach Marci Skeen, whose team finished fourth with 131.25 points. “Usually this meet is so full talent that we try to be in the middle of the pack. We were a little over a point from placing third, so this is really exciting for us.” Brecksville-Broadview Heights, which had the best team scores on vault (36.7), uneven bars (36.2), balance beam (35.0575) and floor exercise (37.0), won the meet with 144.975 points. It marked the fifth consecutive McGee title for the Bees, who have won 10 state team championships, including the past seven. See HOCKEY, page B3 DeSales (135) and Painesville

The Cardinals’ Whitney Miller tries to drive past the Wolves’ Marissa Elliott last Friday. Miller converted a three-point play with less than a second remaining to beat Groveport 53-52 on Jan. 12.

We stayed in it the whole time and didn’t give up.” •In addition to the Kilbourne game, Thomas was challenged by Groveport last week. The Cardinals needed a three-point play by junior Whitney Miller with .5 of a second left to beat the Cruisers 53-52 on Jan. 12. Miller, who finished the Groveport game with 18 points and had eight points against the Wolves, said the close games were the perfect lead-in for an OCC-Central showdown Friday at Upper Arlington. “We’re definitely going to be ready,” Miller said. “We still have a lot of things we need to work on. We know it’s going to be a good game, but I think we’re going to win it.” “It’ll be a good battle ... again,” said coach Laurie Barr, whose team lost to Upper Arlington 52-48 on Dec. 7. “(UA coach Chris Savage) always has the kids ready to play. They’re an aggressive team, very well coached and disciplined. They know how to pull out the close ones.” The Golden Bears are 6-1 this season in games decided by 12 points or fewer, including a 4842 victory over Dublin Coffman last Friday and a 55-53 win over Big Walnut last Saturday. The victory over Coffman left UA and Thomas tied for first in the OCC-Central at 7-1. Coffman is third at 6-2, followed by Hilliard Davidson at 5-3, Central Crossing and Kilbourne at 35, Hilliard Darby at 1-7 and Westland at 0-8.
petition,” said Keller, who scored an 8.7 on floor. “We were a little iffy on beam, but I think we did really well on floor.” “We had a rough beam day, but the girls bounced back from that and finished really strong on floor,” said coach Cindy Fushimi, whose team was fifth on vault (33.5) and eighth on bars (29.5). “It was good to see that they could put that behind them and compete to their full potential on the next event.” The Wolves’top performer was junior Erica Rodriguez, who placed sixth in the all around with a 34.7. She was seventh on beam (8.65) and tied Hilliard Darby’s Meghan Parsley for ninth on floor (9.0) as well as scoring an 8.825 on vault and an 8.225 on bars. Freshman Celeste Fushimi-Karns finished ninth on bars (8.35). The meet was a good tune-up for the Kilbourne Invitational on Saturday.

Connor Dahn scored 10 points and Brian Hanks and Parker each scored seven for the Wolves. “We stopped Thomas a lot, but we gave up a lot of offensive rebounds,” Hanks said. “In the third quarter, they slowed it down and got the ball down low, and we had trouble stopping their big guys.” The Wolves play league games Friday at home against Darby and Tuesday at Upper Arlington. Kilbourne lost to Darby 53-41 on Dec. 7 and lost to UA 50-48 on Dec. 10. Darby was 4-7 overall and 25 in the OCC-Central before playing a non-league game last Tuesday at Marysville. “Hilliard Darby’s one of the best defensive teams in the OCC, so we have to run a crisp offense,” Hanks said. “We need to do all

the little things right, like setting good screens and cutting hard. We’re looking forward to getting another shot at upsetting the best team in the OCC (in Upper Arlington). “We’ll rotate three different guys, Austin Parker, Jerome Nsumbu and Adam Hren on Sullivan, because they did an excellent job guarding him the last time we played them.” Hanks said his team needs to get back to creating turnovers and scoring in transition, as it did in each of its victories. Kilbourne is 5-0 when scoring at least 50 points, 5-1 when Parker scores 12 or more points and 4-0 when Jack Burian scores at least nine points. “We need to get Austin and Jack going like we did during our four-game winning streak,” Hanks said. “If we can score in transition and really focus on executing our offense, we should do well.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The diminutive forward finds ways to overcome his stature. “Being one of the smallest kids on the ice is tough, but I keep my feet moving and keep working hard. That’s how you get around it,” Pischel said. “(The upperclassmen) have taught me that size really doesn’t matter if you keep working hard.” Junior forward Harrison Cohan had a goal against Springboro. He said focus is the key to success in the coming weeks for the Cardinals. “We can never lose focus, even if we are up two goals like we were against Springboro.
