Theft link to tax debt not confirmed By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Contributor Grove City police have not yet determined if “theft issues” exist in connection with a large debt that the city failed to pay to the Internal Revenue Service for federal income withholding taxes. City officials last month said the city has made a payment of $752,179 to the IRS to settle that debt. The IRS said payments had been missed since at least 2007.
Franklin County Municipal Court last month issued eight investigative subpoenas at the request of the city police. Police spokesman Capt. Steve Robinette said, “What we can say is that there are theft issues separate from the tax issue. We are still investigating whether there are theft issues related to the tax issues.” The city has hired an independent consulting company, GBQ Consulting LLC,
at a cost of up to $20,000, to investigate the causes of the tax errors. “That is the whole purpose of the auditors,” Robinette said, “going through and looking at transactions and how all of these things occurred over the last eight or 10 years.” The eight investigative subpoenas have focused on three employees, including the city building inspector, a payroll specialist and a service technician. Robinette said the service technician
has since been cleared of wrongdoing. Police Chief Joe Wise earlier told city council that investigative subpoenas do not imply wrongdoing, stating, “The fact we asked for some information on individuals is not (an indication) they have done anything wrong.” Robinette said, “There were certain fact patterns that we saw when we began this investigation, and some of those fact

City probe into IRS case could cost $105,000
USEFUL BARRELS
By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers The investigation into Grove City’s federal income withholding taxes discrepancies could cost the city $105,000 in legal fees and take another four to five months to complete. A Feb. 2 letter from Schottenstein, Zox & Dunn, the city’s legal firm, estimates that legal fees for the case will amount to anywhere from $90,000 to $105,000, dependent upon how many hours are worked. Paralegal hours are billed at rates between $115-$160, and attorney fees range from $135-$475 per hour. Hours billed by Grove City law director Stephen Smith Jr. are included under his contract with the city. A portion of the fees will be paid from the 2010 budget, and some might be covered by the city’s commercial crime insurance policy. “If it is determined that any of the legal issues set forth ... resulted from criminal conduct that would be covered under the aforementioned insurance policy, SZD will vigorously pursue recovery of any and all legal fees paid by the city,” the letter said. “Finally, we will explore every available avenue to recover not only our fees, but also the fees of the consultants working on this matter.” City police Capt. Steve Robinette said the audi-

Senate Bill 5 might not Mixed-use development cited affect SWCS negotiations as goal if Beulah Park leaves city By TOM SHEEHAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Controversy over proposed Ohio Senate Bill 5 has garnered attention statewide, including that of South-Western City Schools’ officials. The proposed legislation would drastically reduce collective bargaining for public employees. South-Western currently is locked in negotiations with two unions representing teachers and classified employees. Both groups of employees have been working without contracts since June 30. South-Western superintendent Bill Wise said before the school board’s Feb. 28 meeting, “We’re watching Senate Bill 5 very closely. We’re still bargaining in good faith.” Even if Senate Bill 5 is approved, Wise said it wouldn’t necessarily have any immediate effect on the SWCD talks. The proposal likely would face legal challenges or perhaps a statewide referendum vote. Of more concern are the sluggish ne-
gotiations with the South-Western Education Association and the Ohio Association of Public School Employees. Talks with both unions are being handled by federal mediators. District negotiators have not met with SWEA since Dec. 20 or with OAPSE since Feb. 7, Wise said. Mediators set negotiation sessions. “I would say it’s not unusual for mediators to not call parties together if they don’t see it as productive to the process,” the superintendent said. He previously said some issues have been discussed but he has not said if progress has been made. Wise said on Feb. 28 that he did not know when any further talks would be set. As they have since October, dozens of teachers, many wearing blue SWEA Tshirts in support of their union, attended the Feb. 28 meeting. The meeting was a board work session without a public participation segment. Neither SWEA presiSee SENATE BILL, page A3

The advantage of this to the state is that, rather than cannibalizing your own business at both the casino and the racetrack, you’d be bringing facilities to those that don’t currently have any, which would allow a lot more tax revenue to the state.
Grove City mayor Richard “Ike” Stage on Feb. 22 told city council members that a bid to move Beulah Park away from the city will go before the Ohio State Racing Commission. Stage said that if Beulah Park moves, he’d like to see a mixed-use development in its place. “Beulah Park and thoroughbred racing has been part of Grove City since 1926, so it’s disappointing to lose that potential event,” Stage said. “I would hope that there’d be a mixed use site, but that was contingent upon them being able to get the slot machines.” If the racetrack moves, track owner Penn National might help the city plan the future of the 200-acre tract,
said Bob Tenenbaum, Penn National spokesman. “Penn National has indicated that they would work with Grove City officials to provide the best use of that property,” Tenenbaum said. Beulah Park employees would be offered jobs at the new Dayton track or at the Columbus casino, he said. Penn National will ask the commission for permission to move the
86-year-old Grove City racetrack if video lottery terminals are approved, the company said. Tenenbaum said Feb. 24 that the company wouldn’t want Beulah Park to compete with the new casino it’s building in the Columbus area. “Penn National would have basically two casinos within a few miles See BEULAH PARK, page A3

Theft link to tax debt not confirmed Continued from page A1 patterns we saw with different employees. We saw certain indicators and we wanted to see if there were any associations. “Some of those we were able to determine very quickly there was no correlation (with the theft investigation). Although we saw some similar behaviors, they did not result in thefts,” he said. “In the case of (the service technician), we talked to him and were able to get an explanation of why we saw those
fact patterns and there is no indication in any way, shape or form that he was involved in these thefts. The issues that were surrounding him, he has taken steps to correct ... and as far as we are concerned it’s a done issue where he is,” Robinette said. Five of the subpoenas were issued to the Ohio Department of Taxation. Four seek the tax records from 1999 to 2009 of building inspector Michael Boso, payroll specialist Jacqueline Kincade and her spouse, and the service technician. The fifth subpoena seeks all information about any delinquent withholding
taxes unpaid by the city of Grove City. Two subpoenas were issued to developer M/I Homes seeking records of all payments from M/I Homes to Boso, leases between M/I Homes and Boso at two homes, one in Hilliard and one in Grove City, and any contracts and personnel records for Boso. The eighth subpoena was to a bank seeking information about recent account transactions for Kincade and her spouse. Jacqueline Kincade has denied wrongdoing. Boso did not return two telephone messages seeking comment. All of the subpoenas are related to
felony investigations relating to theft, theft in office, tampering with records or some combination. Under Ohio law, investigative subpoenas allow law enforcement agencies to request testimony or records, usually from third parties who have information relevant to the potential crime. Columbus assistant city attorney Steve Dunbar — whose office is not involved in the case, but who does advise Columbus police on the use of investigative subpoenas — said the subpoenas usually are issued to third parties such as banks, telephone companies or other
witnesses. “It’s law enforcement officers trying to gather information, primarily documents, in the course of an investigation,” Dunbar said. “Generally, you’re gathering information from persons other than your suspect.” Robinette said the Grove City police and the state auditor, state attorney general and Ohio Department of Taxation are continuing to cooperate in the investigation. “It’s ongoing,” Robinette said. “Each of those agencies is looking at the areas covered under their disciplines.”

tor of state’s office, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and the Ohio Department of Taxation are working with the city police to build a criminal case. “We have several years of financial records to look through and are trying to recreate this and account for any money that might have been taken from the city,” Robinette said. “A lot of it depends on how available the records are.” Robinette said that a resolution to the case could still be several months away. “It’s not outside the realm of possibility that we’re four to five months out still,” Robinette said. “We still have a number of resources dedicated to this that are working full-time toward a conclusion.” City police said last month they were working with the Franklin County prosecutor on the case,

City to seek public input on master plan for parks By LISA AURAND ThisWeek Community Newspapers The framework for Grove City’s new parks and recreation master plan has been developed, and city officials now are seeking feedback from the public. Community members are invited to attend a public meeting Wednesday, March 9, to review the preliminary outline of the strategic parks and open space master plan, which was developed over the last year. “Basically, we have been working on this since last April,� parks and recre-
ation director Kim Conrad said. “We held meetings in the fall just to get some input on what the public thought, so this is kind of a follow up on that.� The comments and suggestions collected through public forums and an online survey were used to develop goals and objectives upon which the plan will be constructed. Conrad said that five main themes ran throughout most of the responses from Grove City residents: better trail connectivity, better amenities within parks, a dog park, public recreation center and
a community center. In addition, many residents expressed a desire for more nature education programming. “Those were some major themes we saw coming out of the first sessions, so hopefully we’re not too far off,� Conrad said. The plan will be available online on the city’s website, grovecityohio.gov, from March 9-23. The March 9 meeting will be an open house giving residents the opportunity to provide feedback on the framework. “We just want to let the public have
a chance to react to the plan,� Conrad said. “It’s an opportunity for them to come in and look through the goals and objectives that we have.� The plan will also be presented at a March city council meeting, Conrad said. Once feedback is collected from residents and council members, the department will continue building out the plan in hopes of presenting it to council for approval sometime in May. “We will take any additional information that we receive and tweak the goals and objectives based on that information, and then the next step is to
finish the plan,� Conrad said. The master plan will guide the direction of the city’s parks and recreation department for the next five to seven years, but will not be set in stone. “It’s a fluid document,� Conrad said. The city parks department maintains 18 parks with more than 260 acres. Amenities include an herb garden, a senior center, a family water park, a skate park and miles of trails. The public meeting to review the plan’s outline will be held from 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 9, in Grove City Council Chambers, 4035 Broadway.

Continued from page A1 dent Rolla Beach nor OAPSE leaders attended the meeting. They have said in the past that they want fair contracts for their members. During the Feb. 28 meeting, the board heard reports on the district’s food services and transportation. The food services department faces a $58,000 deficit, with revenues at about $8.9 million and expenses at $8.96 million, by fiscal year 2014, director Beth Glitt told the board. A $325,000 deficit looms in fiscal 2015. Both she and Wise told the board that an increase in the price of meals would be needed by at least fiscal 2013 to offset any deficits. “As food prices go up, it’s a crapshoot on some of this,� Wise said. “This at least gives us some budget information so we can start making some
assumptions.� Glitt also said her department continues to move toward more healthy food offerings for students and staff, including having more fruit and vegetable selections in vending machines while cutting back on candy and other snack items. Transportation supervisor Tim Cox told the board that he hopes all district buses will have GPS navigation systems installed by August. The district has 194 buses, ranging from 84passenger buses to smaller handicap buses, transporting about 12,500 riders each school day. Cox said GPS would make the transportation of students easier by pinpointing exact routes for drivers. Currently, some drivers have relied on handheld maps when driving on unfamiliar routes, he said. The district has 151 drivers and 21 substitute drivers.

No matter what, Beulah Park will hold its fall season races as usual, he said. “The key point is this whole proposal is only going to be presented to the racing commission formally for approval if and when the state approves VLTs and, of course, we don’t know if that

Also at the Feb. 22 council meeting, City Council voted 50 to approve outdoor seating at a new town center restaurant, which will be at 3985 Broad-
way, the former home of Josiah’s Restaurant. In addition, council unanimously approved a drive-through liquor store 4170 McDowell Road. The next regular council meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, March 7, in City Hall, 4035 Broadway.

Commentary & opinion
As it were
U.S. Army in 1908 was more ‘exclusive’ than one might think By the fall of 1908, the United States had not been at war for several years. And with the successful conclusion of the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection, America would not be ED involved in another major LENTZ conflict until the outbreak of World War I in 1917. But that did not mean that the military could not use a few more good people from time to time. To that end, signs were seen in public places around Columbus that simply said “WANTED — Able-Bodied Men for the U. S. Army.” A young man wishing to become part of that army was directed to what was then the second-largest Army recruiting station in the United States: Columbus Barracks on the northeast side of downtown Columbus. Originally opened in 1861 as the Columbus Arsenal at the outbreak of the Civil War, the facility was used a storage and distribution facility until 1875, when it became a recruiting station as well and its name was changed to Columbus Barracks. Expanding in size and complexity over the years, by 1908 it consisted of a number of buildings in addition to the iconic Shot Tower in the center of the grounds. These included barracks and even a bandstand for the musicians of the post. A reporter from a local paper in 1908 decided to see how a young man became a soldier. He visited Columbus Barracks and wrote a lengthy article about what he found. A few excerpts from the article will tell us a little about the post itself as well as the soldiers in training there. “Down by the gate, a sentry, chosen from one of the permanent companies, his clothing as spic and span as if he had just stepped from a fashion plate, swings up and down on his beat, his rifle polished and glistening in the evening sun’s rays. “A bunch of applicants — some in half military dress, some in workman’s clothes and few in derby hats and long-tailed coats — is just coming through the gate. They have been temporarily ‘passed’ by some minor recruiting station in Zanesville, Cincinnati or some other point, and are here for their final examination. “Their names are taken, each is given a bath, and after supper are tucked away in row upon row of iron beds, built one over the other, like berths in a steamboat.” In the days that follow, the men are closely examined, outfitted and prepared for service in the army. The process begins: “The men are now clean, registered and have expressed a desire for the branch of the service they wish to enlist in — cavalry, infantry, coast artillery, etc. Different branches of the service require different builds of men. For instance, the coast artillery has different regulations about adenoids and lack of certain teeth than does the infantry arm. ... All must have eight connecting ‘grinders’however, for sometimes in the field, salted horse and hard tack are the only food for days. ...

The iconic Shot Tower was at the center of the grounds at the Columbus Barracks recruiting station in 1908.
“The medical examination from start to finish is thorough. The applicant must be single (for the first enlistment) and physically perfect. ... He must have good sight, else the weapons the government is to give him would be as a broomstick in the hands of a child; he must have no germs or tuberculosis lurking in the system; no tendency to hoard disease or other maladies. ... “All recruits must be between the ages of 18 and 35. He must not be under 5’4” in height. At that figure he must weigh at least 110 pounds. ... If he is physically sound and has come up to all the medical requirements, he is now sworn into the U. S. service as a recruit. “He gets a toilet kit first dash out of the box. This is all done up like a pair of shoes, in a neat box. There’s russet and a black belt and shoe polish, a hair brush, a tooth brush, a razor, soap, two towels, a whisk broom and a ‘housewife’— a little packet containing threads, needles, buttons and whole lot of other things a man might want when his pants gets hung up on a barbed wire trocha. ... This costs Uncle Sam $3.01. “The applicant also gets tooth powder, a box of Tripoli to shine his buttons with, a gun brush, a shoe brush and a ‘button stick.’ ... The button stick is a piece of board, having a slot cut in it. This is slipped over the button and Mr. Applicant can shine his buttons to a fare-you-well, without getting any white powder on his clothes. “He gets a $6 olive drab blanket, not one of those National Guard affairs that years ago used to be used as a minnow seine between sleeps, but the real, frostdefying article. He gets an olive drab coat, trousers, leggins, three changes of underwear and six
pairs of socks. In addition he is served with four pairs of white medium weight gloves for dress affairs, and a cap and overcoat. ... To the heavy artillery, the outfit served is blue rather than olive drab. Then comes more clothes — a fatigue uniform (like overalls) but the color of new clear coffee is issued. “For 15 days or more, the embryo soldier learns to ‘guide right,’ ‘about face,’ ‘to the rear march,’ ‘ fours right about’ and the other little details that are necessary to tell the right hand from the left — quick! Then he gets a gun and its ‘shold hawms,’‘c’rry hawms,’ ‘p’rade res,’until he can’t see. He learns the gun drill and is ready in about 30 days to be transferred to some command that is ‘shy’ on membership ... the first year — in peace times — he gets clothes, board, medical attendance, washing and $13 a month. ... If Mr. Applicant gets to be a good shot he gets $2 a month extra for marksman; $3 for sharpshooter and $5 a month extra for expert rifleman. A sergeant in charge of a mess gets $6 a month extra. There are all kinds of ways to make extra money in the army. “In 15 days he is carrying a gun and learning the rudiments of the Manual of Arms; in three years he is the finished product, the finest type of man on earth — the American soldier.” In 1922, the name of Columbus Barracks would be changed to Fort Hayes in recognition of Civil War soldier and American President Rutherford B. Hayes. The post would continue to be a recruiting center through the Vietnam era. Today, most of the site serves as the Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center of the Columbus school district.

Stivers’ focus: cut spending in Washington By LIN RICE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Serving in the National Guard may have instilled a spartan lifestyle in freshman Congressman Steve Stivers. Ohio’s Republican representative from the 15th district still sleeps on an air mattress in his office while in Washington, he told ThisWeek. Less than 60 days into his term, the former state senator and U.S. Army National Guard lieutenant colonel said he has much work ahead. “My battle is to cut spending and try to see if we can get our federal government a lot closer to a balanced budget, and that’s going to be a hard fight... but it’s an important fight for our kids’future,” Stivers said. According to statistics from the House Budget Committee, Stivers said the debt as a percentage of gross domestic product will be at 100 percent in a few years and is projected to increase to 300 percent of our GDP by 2050. “It’s not that long before it will be unmanageable,” he said. “We’ve got to get spending turned around, which means we’ve got to figure out what to do with discretionary spending... and have an adult conversation about the mandatory spending programs at the same time.” Stivers, 45, defeated incumbent Mary Jo Kilroy in last Novem-
ber’s election for the 15th district seat, netting more than 50 percent of the vote in a district that inSteve Stivers cludes Union and Madison counties, along with portions of Columbus and its western suburbs. Along with discussing the country’s financial concerns, Stivers touched on several issues close to home in Ohio, particularly on battles going on in the statehouse over public employee union rights. “I think everyone sees us as Midwestern, sensible folks — so if (state governments) can’t undo something like that here, it’s going to be really hard to undo that in other places,” he said. “I think that’s what you’re seeing now in the state legislature: a way to figure out how to get that (equity),” Stivers said. “If you plot the amount a school district spends on one axis, and their performance on another axis, there’s not much of a relationship between how much they spend and how high the performance is. Yesterday we drove by Jonathan Alder (High School), which has one of the lowest expenditures per pupil in the state, and some of the highest test scores in the state, so on efficiency they’re doing really well. It’s really about the work ethic of the students and their families, that whole family unit work-
“
We’ve got to get spending turned around, which means we’ve got to figure out what to do with discretionary spending... and have an adult conversation about the mandatory spending programs at the same time.

ing together to make sure the kids become educated.” As gas prices in Ohio and across the nation continue to rise due to upheaval in the Middle East, Stivers added that he also intends to focus on energy production. “I don’t think we’re at the top (gasoline prices) yet. I don’t claim to be an energy expert, but I still think it’s going to go up from where we are,” he said. “Part of that is the Middle East, but when the EPA won’t issue new permits for drilling here...” Stivers said he recently signed a letter circulated by Jeff Landry (3rd District, Louisiana), along with about 70 other members of Congress, urging the EPA to issue permits for new oil drilling endeavors. “Studies have shown there is a safe way to do this, and the administration, because of that, has lifted the ban on off-shore drilling,” he said. “We need to let them understand that their funding is directly related to whether or not we think they’re doing the job of protecting the environment, but
”
with science-based rules. If you’re not using science, you’re just throwing darts at the wall.” Having spent much of his life serving in the Army National Guard, Stivers said he will be able to continue in that capacity while serving in Congress. “It was amazing how hard it was to figure out how everything worked with that, as far as whether I would even be allowed to serve or receive a paycheck for it, but I am going to be able to continue my service,” he said. “I’ll be able to do my one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer, and I’m excited to be able to continue after 25 years of serving. They didn’t put any restrictions on me, so I’ll be just like any other member of the National Guard, so I’m excited about that.”

forming.’Ari Hest loves you. He just loves songwriting more. “There’s something about the feeling of coming up with a good melody or a good line,” Hest told The Beat. “That’s why I do what I do.” Hest, a Brooklyn-based pop singer-songwriter, has proven his adroitness in those other areas as well. In the midst of a heavy touring schedule, he self-produced his 2009 album Twelve Mondays. The project culminated a 2008 Web-based project in which he wrote, recorded and released a new song every Monday throughout the year, allowing fans to then select their 12 favorites for the album. “I made all the decisions,” Hest said. “So (for his new record, Sunset Over Hope Street), I gave up the reigns.” Specifically, to indie musician and producer Alex Wong. “I knew going in that this was going to be something I wasn’t used to, but it was very much an ‘I’d like to try this’ mentality,” Hest explained. “I knew going in I would be pushed. Alex uses a lot of strings and keyboard sounds – things I’m not used to. But I left much of the arranging to Alex. I worked on writing and re-writing songs.” While he consciously stepped back in making Sunset Over Hope Street, Hest admitted the making of this record tested his patience after the immediacy of his song-a-week project. “(Sunset) was recorded over a year, in between breaks while both Alex and myself were on tour,” Hest explained. “It was a long time in the making, with a lot of time to listen back to what we had done so far. I started to get slightly impatient, because the songs were done but not finished.” Patience is a theme throughout the album, although, Hest explained, in a more personal sense. “(The title track) is essentially about being patient waiting for something new to come along when you’re just getting out of something, and also feeling happy for the other person as they move on and you try to move on,” he said. The job, now that the album is complete and

tour forthcoming, was to “recreate the album with new arrangements for two people,” Hest said, explaining that, for this tour, he’s bringing along a drummer and that’s all. “The songs stand on their own,” Hest said. “They started out this way, so they don’t require a band.” The Columbus date is early in the tour. Hest said he’s looking forward to playing these new songs for audiences. “I hope everything resonates with people in some way,” he said, sounding like a person who cares about the songs the way every good songwriter should. ■ For more from The Beat’s interview with Ari Hest, read the BeatBlog at www.ThisWeekNews.com.
Pickerington pizza shop is a real heavyweight champ The reputation of Catalfino’s pizza precedes it. For over a decade, Catalfino’s took first or second place in the Slice of Columbus competition. It scored several consecutive second places in the North American Pizza and Ice Cream Show. And Catalfino’s landed in the top 10 of the American Pizza Championship. Catalfino’s business also has a storied past going back to the mid-1970s. That was when the family that still owns and operates Catalfino’s co-opened their first one-oven, two-table shop on the East Side of Columbus. Decades of success, change, expansions and relocations eventually brought Catalfino’s to its newest spot in Pickerington a couple of years ago. This latest incarnation is a big and bright, nice but casual restaurant with a decidedly sporty at-

There’s lots of Buckeye stuff on the walls, plus tons of TVs beaming in games and races (it’s the kind of place where a NASCAR dad gets decked out in full stock-car regalia). Largely full of happy families, Catalfino’s also has a fully stocked bar detailed with a crazy parade of flattened beer caps. A crazy parade of “Man vs. Food”-type munchies can adorn Catalfino’s pizzas, salads, sandwiches and starters if you so desire. I so desired.

ican poutine, if you want, but do think of it. Also think of the Chicago Combo ($9), which the menu says is fully endorsed by The Fan’s Mike Ricordati. Here, a decent Italian beef sandwich increased its girth by the addition of a spicy sausage patty. Was it an authentic Windy City dish? Not really. Did it’s blend of “jus” (I would have liked more), griddled roast beef, spicy sausage and giardiniera (hot pickled veggies) prove Ricordati knew what he was talking about (at least in this case)? You betcha. Of course Catalfino’s topnotch pizzas are the stars. You can design your own, go with a traditional combo or pick one of the shop’s over-the-top specialties ($8.50 to $22). If you’re considering the latter, here are some uncommon things Catalfino’s

Also terrific was the wellnamed Champion (ricotta, bacon, sausage, ham, pepperoni and much more). Catalfino’s menu says this pie’s won more than 20 awards in competitions, and I could see — and taste! — why. The menu also says The Fan’s Scott Torgerson declared the Spicy Italian “will be his final meal if he’s ever on Death Row.” After demolishing that irresistible grease bomb (killer spicy marinara plus double meats and cheeses), Death Row seemed almost redundant.

Warma for the shawarma: Spit-roasted meats gaining popularity Behold the vertical rotisserie, a magnificent machine that is being used by a growing number of ethnic restaurants in Columbus. Spit-roasted options are the signature dishes at such newcomers as Lavash, Pita Hut, Los Guachos and Lashish, the Greek. The electric broiler rotates a composite of meat in front of bright-orange heating lamps, which melt away fat and leave the outside golden brown and glistening with moisture. The outer shell is then sliced off per order, and often placed in a pita or is part of a larger plate ensemble.
Most everyone is at least familiar with the gyro, brown cuts of herb-flecked meat cut from the large, twirling cylinder, and garnished with shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes and tzatziki inside a soft pita. While not new, a different brand of twirling, carnivorous delight is tempting local diners: the shawarma. Several local restaurants offer their own variations.

The place offers nine condiments, from hummus to cucumbers, for added flavor. “That’s the important part, always,” he said. The sauce also is a big part of the equation, says Recipe of the week Nasir Latif, owner of Lavash, also in Clintonville. He offers a simple but bold garlic sauce for his two shawarma options: a Lebanese-style using lamb and beef and a chicken selection. Latif said big beehive-shaped columns of meat pirouetting behind the counter help draw in customers. “It looks good,” he said. “It tastes good.” Shish Kebab Mediterranean Café and Café Istanbul use the rotisserie to make doner, the Turkish equivalent of gyro. Ilyas Batuk, chef and partner of Shish Kebab on Bethel Road, said the secret to excellent doner is using a good fat ratio – 25 percent – and forcefully compressing the ground beef and lamb mixture on the spit, which gives it a fine texture. “If you don’t have the fat, it’s no good,” he said. Customers seem to agree, as the doner is one of the top sellers in the restaurant. He makes 80 pounds each Friday and Saturday and another 50 pounds on Sunday, with smaller amounts during the rest of the week. Mike Polster, a partner of the Louis R.

Comets see opportunity in loss to Orange By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
There were cheers, tears and laughter in the locker room as Central Crossing High School girls basketball coach Neil Hohman addressed his players after a 51-31 loss to Olentangy Orange in the second round of the Division I district tournament on Feb. 24 at Westerville Central. The Comets led 13-5 after one quarter and trailed 22-16 at halftime before the third-seeded Pioneers pulled away.

Central Crossing was held to one point
in the third quarter on a free throw by Davis, who scored a team-high 11 points. Taylor Agler led a balanced attack for the Pioneers with 15 points. “We came out pretty hot in the first quarter and knocked down some shots,” Hohman said. “We ran our game plan until the fourth quarter where we were trying anything to get back in it, but (before that) I thought we ran our game plan of slowing it down and trying to keep our tempo. We wanted to stop them from running and getting open shots.”
Central Crossing will lose Carmean, Ward and Allissa Turkovich to graduation. Turkovich missed her team’s two postseason games after spraining an ankle in practice leading up to the Comets’ 60-35 win over Independence in the first round on Feb. 17. It was the third district tournament win since the program was established in 2002. For Carmean, her prep career began at Central Crossing, but she moved to See GIRLS, page B2

Comets send 2, ’Hounds 1 to state By JEREMY STEWART ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Central Crossing High School wrestling team has a bona fide state championship contender in Vince Pickett, who looked dominant in capturing the Division I district title at 160 pounds on Feb. 26 at Hilliard Darby. Pickett, who was eighth in the state last year at Division III West Jefferson, cruised through the district tournament. His closest match was a 13-0 win over Olentangy Liberty’s Nick Kaczkowski in the final. “This is the time to shine,” coach Jamie Ramirez said he told Pickett at the tournament. “This is the time to let the cat out of the bag and show people how good you are.” The top four finishers in each weight class advanced to the state tournament, which runs Thursday-Saturday, March 3-5, at Ohio State. Pickett will be joined at state by his practice partner, Gage Hysell, who finished second at 152. After beating Beavercreek’s Nick Corba 6-2 in a semifinal, Hysell fell to Liberty’s Craig Thomas 5-0 in the final. Central Crossing scored 56.5 points to place 10th behind champion Liberty (128.5). Pickett, who is 46-1, opens the state tournament against Wooster’s Zach Ellsworth, who is 37-7. Hysell, 32-9, faces Cincinnati Moeller’s Michael Blum, who is 29-14. Hysell, who also competed at West Jefferson last season, narrowly missed advancing to state a year ago after miscalculating on a move that he said should have netted him two points and a victory in a state-qualifying match. “I’ve seen videos and pictures (of the state tournament),” Hysell said. “I didn’t want to go unless I made it. Last year going to district and making it as far as I did, I felt like this was my year. I felt that I could do better.” Also competing in the district tournament were Joe Householder (112, 0-2 record), Aaron Hardy (140, 2-2), Dez Hauber (135, 12) and Josh Wimer (103, 2-2). In placing eighth last season, Pickett said he’s more prepared for this year’s state tournament. “Last year, I was an underclassmen and kind of wasn’t sure, but now I know what’s going on,” he said. “I’ll be more prepared. I know I’m more in shape and ready to go. You just have to go out and do it.” •For the first time in three seasons, Grove City is sending a representative to the state tournament. Jose Hughes finished third at district at 160. As he waited to receive his third-place medal, he had a large bandage on the right side of his face. It was evidence of a bloody first day at district in which he nearly was disqualified because the wound would not stop bleeding despite the bandage.

Judkins improves with slower time By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Grove City High School senior Braxten Judkins experienced subtraction through addition while competing in the Division I state swimming meet on Feb. 25 at Canton’s C.T. Branin Natatorium. While finishing 19th in the 100-yard freestyle in 48.36 seconds, Judkins added .65 of a second onto his district time of 47.71 but placed five spots better than his 24th seed. “I was kind of disappointed with my time, but I knew (Branin) was a slow
pool compared to (the pool at district Feb. 19 at) Ohio State, so I really can’t complain about it,” Judkins said. “This is my first time here as an individual so I finished my senior year off pretty well.” Strongsville senior Michael Meldon won the title (45.09). Grove City didn’t score at the meet as Cincinnati St. Xavier won the championship with 312 points, ahead of Toledo St. Francis (298) and Upper Arlington (150). It was Judkins’ second trip to state. Last year, he anchored the 400 free relay of 2010 graduate Gus Bailey, senior
Tyler Payne and sophomore Jack Bailey to a 20th-place finish (1:30.31). “This year was different,” Judkins said. “I knew if I messed up, I wouldn’t hurt anyone else but myself in the race.” The Greyhounds will lose seniors Landon Hall, Judkins, Sam Nowjack and Payne from the boys team and Makenzie Best and Kaitlyn Camp from the girls team. The boys team placed third (190) at the OCC-Ohio meet on Jan. 29, behind Pickerington North (337) and Gahanna (284) and ahead of Lancaster (174), Reynoldsburg (90), Pickerington Central (26) and Newark (12). The boys
tied Westerville North for sixth (65) behind champion Upper Arlington (414) at the UA sectional on Feb. 12 and placed 16th (44.5) behind UA (432.5) at district.

After finishing 7-14 this season, the Greyhounds already are looking ahead to next season’s Dec. 3 opener against Columbus East, hoping to begin their turnaround. “We love our kids,” coach Greg Waits said. “We always have and they work as hard as ... they can, but we found out through this season that it was disappointing and we have to work a lot harder to play Grove City basketball.” Grove City’s season ended with a 64-49 loss to Tri-Valley in the first round of the Division I district tournament on Feb. 22 at Lakewood.
Tri-Valley led 39-22 at halftime and remained in control throughout the second half. Junior guard Jimmy Gravett led the Greyhounds with 10 points. Brothers Matt Schley (19) and Bryan Schley (18) combined for 37 points for Tri-Valley. “We knew the Schley brothers were great shooters,” Waits said. “We knew we couldn’t lose them in transition. We had to get out on them and we lost them in transition several times. They got free several times and they made shots, and that’s why they won.” Senior forward Bobby Brown led the Greyhounds in rebounding at 8.8 a game and was second in scoring at 8.9. He was named first-team all-OCC-Ohio Division and honorable mention all-district. “This season is not what we wanted at all,” Brown said. “Our goal is to win the OCC outright.

Grove City Christian Roundup
Boys team wins tourney opener By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers As his team prepared for the Division IV district tournament, Grove City Christian High School boys basketball coach Chris Timlin believed his Eagles were better than their record indicated. Grove City Christian entered its firstround game against Danville having lost the final six of the regular season, but the Eagles bounced back to defeat the Blue Devils 56-47 on Feb. 26 at Westerville North. “I know personally that we’re better than our record,” Timlin said. “I do know that, but I don’t think these guys are out to prove anything. I do believe that they want to be successful.” The Eagles were 6-15 before playing fourth-seeded Newark Catholic in a second-round game March 2. The winner will play top-seeded Tree of Life or Fisher Catholic at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 8, in a semifinal at the Fairgrounds Coliseum. Top-seeded Tree of Life swept the MOCAL season series, winning 69-43 on Dec. 17 and 67-39 on Feb. 14. Tree of Life won its 10th consecutive MOCAL title at 8-2. Grove City Christian was fifth at 2-8. Against Danville, the Eagles opened double-digit leads twice only to have the Blue Devils rally each time. Sophomore forward Derek Vaughn, who finished with a game-high 25 points, ignited both runs for the Eagles. “Derek is playing at a very high level By Mike Munden/ThisWeek right now, and it’s at the right time,” TimSam Hatfield of Grove City Christian is fouled by Sam Zacher of lin said. “He’s intense. I knew all week long Wellington as teammates Josh Zeller (33) and Derek Vaughn (4) in practice that he was ready to go, but he’s just a sophomore. He’s going to be tough look on.

to deal with as time progresses.” Vaughn scored seven points as Grove City Christian opened an 18-7 lead after one quarter. Danville pulled even at 20 midway through the second quarter, but Vaughn followed with a 3-pointer and junior Alex Stewart and senior Sam Hatfield each added a basket, as Grove City Christian led 2723 at the half. Three-pointers by Vaughn and junior guard Ben Whitaker early in the third quarter helped push the advantage to 39-28, but Danville again battled back, closing to 3937 heading into the fourth. Vaughn connected on four free throws, and freshman point guard Michael Howard and junior forward Casey Fisher each added baskets to help keep the Eagles in front. “I just want to win,” Vaughn said. “I’ll do whatever it takes. I just want the ball in my hands at the end because I feel like I can make our team win and be successful.” Shaun Durbin led Danville with 17 points. •Meg Little was pleased with her girls basketball team’s progress during her first season as head coach.

“He battled like a bleeding warrior,” coach Jay DiMasso said. “Over the course of three matches, he had close to nine minutes of blood time. He was about 23 seconds away from being disqualified in a match (on Feb. 25) because of blood. Fighting through that, he had several matches where it was pure heart and desire to move on. That’s
Continued from page B1 Coach Amy Miller said she has a strong group of returnees, led on the boys side by juniors Noah Colburn and Joe Nowjack, sophomore Jack Bailey and freshmen Jordan Payne and Trip Best, and on the girls side by juniors Ashley Miller and Autumn See, sophomore Taylor Camp and freshman Claudie Pierce. “Graduation is going to be a big deal for us,” coach Miller said. “We do have some new kids who are coming up, but we’ll definitely miss those seniors.” •After rewriting most of its record book last season, the Central Crossing teams struggled to update their best times this season. However, at district, the Comets broke four school records in their relays. Breaking records for the boys team were junior Kyle Dyer, sophomore Tyler Smith, sophomore Jordan Messisco and senior Kelley Jones, who placed 19th in the 200 medley relay (1:52.5) and 20th in the 200 free relay (1:38.67), and Dyer, sophomore Gavin Thomas, Messisco and Jones, who were 20th in the 400 free relay (3:39.05). Senior Caroline Kruczynski, sophomore Molly Lalonde, junior Hannah Hildebrand and senior Alyssa Stamper set a record in the 200 medley relay while finishing 25th (2:08.26). “I’m looking forward to seeing what the younger swimmers can do and watching them keep breaking those school records,” coach Robert Boggs said. “When they break a record, it motivates the whole team.” The boys team finished seventh (55) behind UA (388.5), Thomas Worthington (252), Dublin Coffman (162.5), Worthington Kilbourne (133), Hilliard Darby (123) and Hilliard Davidson (98) at the OCC-Central meet Jan. 29 at Thomas. The Comets were 12th (20) at the UA sectional and didn’t score at district. The girls team was fifth (72) behind UA (433),

Hughes, who is 36-8, will face North Canton Hoover’s Ryan Teis, who is 43-4, in the first round at state. “I’m definitely a little excited and getting a little antsy to go,” Hughes said. “I’ve heard that (the state tournament atmosphere is) overwhelming.

London after voters in South-Western City Schools rejected a levy in August 2009, putting winter sports in jeopardy. Winter sports ended up being held after a levy was approved in November 2009, but several athletes, including Carmean, already had transferred. She returned to Central Crossing so she could play her senior basketball season at the school. “It’s so hard to say goodbye to these girls,” Carmean said. “We’re such a family. We came together so well this year, and we’ve really been playing so tough at the end of our season. It’s just hard that we had to end it this way. It’s great that we played our hearts out, but we should have won.” Sophomore Jalynn Graham led the team in scoring at 13.5 points a game and was second-team all-league and honorable mention all-district, giving the Comets a solid foundation for the future. Davis was special mention all-league and honorable mention all-district, and Carmean, who www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

averaged 9.4 points a game, was honorable mention all-league. Other players who could contribute next season include juniors Jordan Huth, Kourtney Inks and Lacy Patrick, and sophomores Brittany Conner, Jasmin Clark, Javon Graham and Amber Huggins. Jalynn and Javon Graham are twins. “We still have three good starters (Davis, Jalynn Graham and Inks) coming back, plus all of our bench players,” Hohman said. Hohman called a 51-32 win over Thomas Worthington on Feb. 11 a highlight of the season. “Our senior night win over Thomas Worthington was probably one of our best games that we played,” Hohman said. “It’s one of the games that the girls will remember.” Central Crossing tied for fifth in the OCCCentral with Worthington Kilbourne behind Upper Arlington (13-1), Dublin Coffman (11-3), Hilliard Davidson (10-4) and Thomas (9-5), and ahead of Hilliard Darby (3-11) and Westland (0-14).

Granville. “We are heading in the right direction,” Little said. “I’m just hoping that the girls will continue to buy into my program and they’ll play AAU and they’ll go to camps. A lot of these girls weren’t provided with the resources before and I’ve definitely provided them with that. I’m hoping they’ll go with it and work hard in the offseason.” Little will look to replace seniors Amanda Folzenlogen, Megan Keating, Arion Taylor and Brooke Warner. “That group is always going to be special to me,” Little said. “They were my first senior class, and I tried to work really hard for them. They provided some great leadership.” Junior guard Shelby Mayeran, who led the team in scoring at 17.2 points a game, was second-team all-MOCAL. Keating, who led the team in rebounding at 7.2 a game, and junior center Audra Blythe were honorable mention. Grove City Christian tied Madison Christian for fifth place in the MOCAL behind Tree of Life (9-1), Fairfield Christian (73), Delaware Christian (5-5) and Gahanna Christian (5-5). The Eagles’ conference wins came against Delaware Christian 53-47 on Dec. 4 and Madison Christian 51-47 on Dec. 18. Grove City Christian’s other wins came against Village Academy 55-20 on Dec. 3 and Granville Christian 61-35 on Feb. 3. Along with Blythe and Mayeran, players expected back next season include juniors Kathryn Juarez, Lindsey Norbet and Mianna Webber; and sophomores Leslee Hovis, Abby Owens and Brionna Taylor.

Sports Shorts Policy Three Ready High School athletes will be competing at Ohio’s highest level after advancing from district tournaments in their respective sports. Senior Allison Lichwa qualified for the state girls bowling tournament Friday, March 4, at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl by placing third (582) at district Feb. 26 at HP Lanes. She was the highest of three individual qualifiers and finished behind only Westerville Central’s Mary Wells (620) and Zanesville’s Erika Savage (588), both of whom will compete with their respective teams at state. Senior Josh Hall and freshman Bobby Smith will represent the Silver Knights at the state wrestling tournament, which begins Thursday, March 3, and concludes Saturday, March 5, at Ohio State. Hall was the champion at 112 pounds at the district tournament Feb. 2526 at Coshocton and Smith finished third at 103 to earn his spot at state. For Lichwa, becoming the third bowler from Ready to advance to state came as a surprise. She opened the district tournament by rolling a 242, which ended up being the best one-game performance among the district’s 119 competitors. She followed with scores of 202 and 138 to total 582. “I knew after my first game that I was (doing well),” Lichwa said. “I didn’t expect it. I just bowled for me. I was really happy and excited when I found out (that I qualified for state). I just have to relax and not be nervous and do what I know how to do.” Both Hall and Smith have state championship aspirations. Smith is 40-2 overall and opens the state tournament against Ashland Mapleton freshman Zach Durbin (39-1). Hall is 38-4 and will begin his second state tournament against Bloomdale Elmwood sophomore Dusty Ferguson (26-5). Hall, who went 0-2 at state at 112 a year ago, opened the district tournament by pinning his first two opponents. He then easily got by Hannibal River’s Josh Bartrug (9-2) and Caledonia River Valley’s Jonathan Edwards (9-3). “All year I was struggling on bottom, and ever since (mid-January) me and (assistant) coach (Chris) Schlaegel have worked on bottom, so that has really improved,” Hall said. “I think I’ve changed it from a major weakness to a strength. Last year, I was definitely content just to be (at state) and was definitely intimidated to be there. This year, I’m looking at it as more of a business trip than a vacation.” Smith pinned his first two district opponents but fell to eventual champion Zon Fields of Marion Pleasant 8-4 in his third match. He pinned his next two opponents to finish third. “I was a little disappointed that I lost to

(Fields), but the big picture is that I’m going to the state tournament,” Smith said. “Being in the arena will be kind of overwhelming, but I think it’ll all sink in once I get on the mat. I watched it last year and when I was about 10 or 11.” The wrestling team finished fourth at district with 80 points, behind Nelsonville-York (129), West Jefferson (106.5) and Galion Northmor (86.5) as 53 teams scored. Missing qualifying for state by one spot were Dalton Scott (119) and Hannibal Tate (145), both of whom placed fifth. Scott went 3-2 and Tate went 4-2. Joe Knapp (135) and Phil Halko (160) each won two district matches and Brandon Cooper (215) won one. Patrick Stover (130) and Patrik Garren (189) both went 0-2. •The boys basketball team’s season ended with a 50-46 triple-overtime loss to top-seeded Heath in the second round of the Division III district tournament Feb. 26 at Newark. Ready trailed 14-7 at halftime, but the game was tied at 17 after three quarters and tied at 32 at the end of regulation. Christian Knapper scored 11 points, followed by Bo Hardy with nine, Kris Clarke and Derek Farmer with eight and Kyle Wilgus with seven. Ready was outscored 23-8 from the free-throw line. The Silver Knights finished 6-16 while Heath improved to 16-5 and played in a district semifinal March 2 against eighth-seeded Horizon Science Academy. Heath’s Roger Gleckler made a 10-foot shot along the baseline with 1 second remaining in regulation to force the first overtime. The Bulldogs made six of 10 free throws in the third overtime, with Gleckler making
two foul shots with 4 seconds remaining to seal the victory. Gleckler led Heath with 20 points, including making 14 of 19 free throws. •After having back-to-back winning seasons, the girls basketball team endured an eight-game losing streak beginning in midJanuary and finished 8-14 overall. The Silver Knights finished fourth (2-6) in the CCL, behind Watterson (7-1), Hartley (62) and DeSales (4-4), and ahead of Columbus School for Girls (1-7). Ready’s only seniors were starter Dani Pugh, who made honorable mention all-district and averaged 11.4 points, and backup Kelly Veeley. Among those expected to return are juniors Nikki Brown, Caitlin McAndrew and Ciarra Carr and sophomores Kim Lloyd and Alexis Mayle. Lloyd was the second-leading scorer, averaging 8.8 points. Mayle averaged 7.3 points and made honorable mention all-district. The Silver Knights lost to third-seeded Bloom-Carroll 46-36 on Feb. 23 in the second round of the Division III tournament. “I definitely think we gave it all we had (against Bloom-Carroll),” said Joe Lang, who completed his 30th season as coach. “Offensively, we just did not shoot it well enough, and you’re not going to beat a lot of good teams scoring 36 points. That game was kind of a microcosm of our season, considering we shot 13 of 43 from the floor. “We’re a team that didn’t have much offense that is losing its leading producer. If we don’t improve our offensive skills in the offseason, things aren’t going to go much better next year.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Stallions respond to tragedy with district title By AARON BLANKENSHIP
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Members of the DeSales High School gymnastics team were devastated when they learned that senior classmate and former teammate Milena DiMichaelangelo died unexpectedly Feb. 18 at age 17. DiMichaelangelo competed for the Stallions as a freshman and sophomore and had remained friends with many of her former teammates. DeSales was sluggish and unfocused in practice after attending DiMichaelangelo’s funeral on Feb. 22, and coach Misty Lloyd-Matthews wasn’t sure how effective her squad would be when it competed in the district meet Feb. 26 at Worthington Kilbourne. Therefore, Lloyd-Matthews was thrilled to see her team score a season-best 136.85 points to win its second consecutive district title and eighth championship in 10 years. Thomas Worthington (134.525) placed second, with Kilbourne (134.25), Dublin Coffman (133.35) and Dresden Tri-Valley (132.5) rounding out the top five. “This was an emotional week for us and it was hard to get the girls motivated and focused in practice because they were such close friends with Milena,” Lloyd-Matthews said. “I wasn’t sure how we’d do because we had a bad week of practice, but I think the girls

Individually, I want to place in the top six in at least one event, too.” Thomas coach Marci Skeen was thrilled after her squad held off Kilbourne to place second at district for the second consecutive year. Freshman Leah Carloni was the Cardinals’ top performer, placing fourth on vault (8.9) and eighth in the allaround (34.375). “We’re so excited right now, because it was so close between us and Kilbourne for second,” Skeen said. “We had our highest vault total that we’ve had all season and that carried us through the rest of the day.” Thomas finished 10th (132.2) at state a year ago. “Our goal was to win our first district title since 1997, but we’re still happy to be going to state,” Cardinals senior Kathleen Reid said. “Our next goal is to place in the top half of the
BOYS
state meet.” Kilbourne coach Cindy Fushimi said she was content with finishing third at district for the second year in a row. Junior Erica Rodriguez led the Wolves by winning floor with a 9.225 and placing seventh in the all-around (34.425). “I’m happy and a little surprised we finished this high, because we started off rough with a lot of falls on beam,” Fushimi said. “But we regrouped and came back strong in our other three events, especially on floor where we had some of our best scores of the season.” The Wolves finished ninth (132.625) at state last season. “We’re going to do a lot of work on beam to prepare for state, and maybe we can try to finish higher than ninth there this year,” Fushimi said. Hilliard Darby senior Meghan Parsley finished first in the all-around (35.55), second on both vault (9.1) and floor (9.125), fourth on beam (8.725) and fifth on bars (8.6). “I’ve never won an event at district before, so I’m ecstatic to win allaround,” Parsley said. “I definitely want to make the podium in something at state, but I’m just going to go and have fun and do my best there.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Besides Bapst and Gravett, Waits also expects contributions next season from juniors Tyler Kent, Joey Lehman, Brad Saxton, Joey Scott, Mitch Stephens, Taylor VonLohr, Shawn Watson and Deaunta Williams, and sophomore Tyler Hale. •Central Crossing coach Mike Cavey plans to stress the importance of offseason participation as the program also hopes for a turnaround. The Comets finished 4-17 overall and 2-12 in the OCCCentral. Fifth-seeded Pickerington North defeated Central Cross-

ing 62-47 in the first round of the Division I district tournament on Feb. 23 at Hamilton Township. Senior Ryan Kelley led the Comets with 23 points. “(Pickerington) North is a good team and we came out and fought with them the whole game, and our kids never gave up,” Cavey said. “I’m really proud of our seniors. They left it all out there. Unfortunately, it’s a loss, but as far as taking

positive steps, absolutely. If we played like that in all our games, we would probably end up with eight, nine, 10 wins.” The program will lose seniors Kelley, Jeff Davis, Greg Herring, Clay Luebben and Bryan Young. “We had some kids in there who hadn’t played organized basketball at the high school level before that we were counting on that ended up being pretty good players for us,” Cavey said. “The toughness that that group exudes is going to be hard to replace. We wish them all the best.” Luebben was special mention all-league, and Kelley was honorable mention. Kelley finished as the team’s leading scorer at 10 points a game followed by Luebben (9.7). Luebben led the team in rebounding at 6.2 a game. “We hoped for a lot better season,” Kelley said. “We were trying to turn our season around because in the second half of the season after Christmas break
it just seemed like we had a downfall. We did a nosedive.” Junior Maurice Reed and sophomore KyJuan Grace are expected to return next season to lead the team’s backcourt. Other players who could contribute include juniors Devin Doudna, Monte McBride and Ricky Morgan, sophomore Devan Williamson and freshman Marc Russell. The Comets tied Westland for seventh in the OCC-Central behind co-champions Dublin Coffman and Upper Arlington (131), Thomas Worthington (9-5), Hilliard Davidson (7-7), Worthington Kilbourne (5-9) and Hilliard Darby (5-9).
