Second meeting on bullying scheduled By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Grandview Heights School Superintendent Ed O’Reilly will hold a second community dialogue regarding the district’s bullying/anti-harassment policy at 7 p.m. Monday, March 14. The meeting will take place in the Brotherhood of the Rooks media center in the high school. “It will be a follow-up to our last
meeting and an opportunity to share with parents some of the things we’ve been doing since that last session,” O’Reilly said. Grandview Heights Ed O’Reilly Board of Education voted in November to revise the district’s bullying policy to include a new state-mandated component covering
dating violence. At the time, parents raised concerns about the effectiveness of the current policy. “A number of community members were concerned, as am I, that students who are being bullied may not know how to handle that situation” and the process for reporting such incidents, O’Reilly said. “We have a policy in place, but it’s hard for us to administer that policy if
students and parents believe bullying is occurring but don’t know how to get help,” he said. The input he has received from parents and students is that the district’s bullying policy is fine, O’Reilly said. The problem lies in making sure students and parents feel comfortable reporting bullying incidents. Since the last community dialogue, he said, he has spoken with students at the middle school and high school to
get their input on the bullying policy. “What they’ve said is that they feel that when adults get involved, they tend to mess things up,” O’Reilly said. The bullying complaint form on the district’s website (www.grandviewschools.org ) can now be submitted online, he said. The district has received as many bullying complaints in the last month See BULLYING, page A3

Chamber offers special programs By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Grandview Area Chamber of Commerce will present its next Coffee and Coaching program on March 22. That same day, the chamber will also partner with the Columbus and Upper Arlington chambers and the Ohio Environmental Council to present an expanded business after hours program. Coffee and Coaching is a morning program offered usually on the last Tuesday of the month.
“It’s an opportunity for our businesses who may not be able to attend our regular luncheons to attend a program and gain some educational nuggets,” chamber executive director Michelle Wilson said. “For so many small businesses, the lunch hour is their busy time and they can’t get away for our luncheon,” Wilson said. “Or they may be the only person at their businesses, so if they aren’t there, they can’t stay open.” The March 22 Coffee and Coaching program will be held from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at Marshall’s Restaurant, 1105 W. First Ave. Anne Kuntz of Zusman Community Hos-
pice will discuss and answer questions about hospice programs. The program is free for chamber members and costs $10 for nonmembers. Registration can be made online at the chamber’s website, www.grandviewchamber.org. The expanded business after hours marks the first time the Grandview chamber is partnering with the Columbus and Upper Arlington organizations for such an event, Wilson said. “It’s part of our mission this year to proSee CHAMBER, page A3
Crooks may want to think twice before heading into the village of Marble Cliff to commit a crime. More than two dozen village residents attended a meeting last month to kick off an effort to create a neighborhood watch program. “It was quite a turnout,” said Marble Cliff Village Council member Kendy Troiano, who is helping to coordinate the effort. “We were thrilled with how many people attended,” she said. “It’s great to know so many people are interested in being part of a neighborhood watch program,” said Grandview police detective Carol Harper. Harper spoke at the meeting, providing an overview of what a neighborhood watch is and tips on protecting yourself from being a crime victim. “Basically, a neighborhood watch involves people watching out for their neighbors,” Harper said. Participants in a watch program learn what is suspicious activity and how to observe and recognize when such activity may be occurring in their neighborhood, she said. The idea of starting a neighborhood watch in Marble Cliff came after a number of incidents last year in which cars and garages in the village were broken into or disturbed, Troiano said.
her house broken into and her purse and laptop stolen,” she said. “Very few people knew that had happened.” The resident had asked council if something could be done and Troiano volunteered to help coordinate a neighborhood watch for the village. “I thought if people knew what to look for, they could let the police know if something unusual was happening in the village,” Troiano said. “I distributed fliers about the meeting to houses in the village, but I wasn’t sure what kind of a response we would get.” The police department encourages the formation of neighborhood watch groups, Harper said. “We can’t be everywhere 24/7,” she said. “Although our officers patrol the area as often as they can, they can’t be everywhere all the time. “Residents can be our eyes and ears when we’re not there,” Harper said. “They might be able to notice when something’s not right and call us to let us know.” Participants in a neighborhood watch should not confront a suspicious person themselves, but call the police, she said. It may be easier for residents in a small community like Marble Cliff to recognize when suspicious activity is occurring, beSee WATCH, page A3

The Grandview Heights High School Botcats team will be putting its robot to the test this weekend at Pittsburgh regional FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition in Science and Technology) tournament. The team is hoping to qualify for the national tournament that will be held April 27-30 in St. Louis. “I think we’ve got a good robot this year,” team adviser Sue Godez said. The GHHS squad has worked well as a team, despite its lack of FIRST experience, she said. “We only have three seniors this year, and that’s an unusually low number,” Godez said. Starting in early January, the

In the Logo Motion game, teams earn points by how many plastic triangle, circle and square shapes their robot can hang on poles set up on the game field. The game begins with a short “autonomous period” in which the robots must operate independently of driver inputs and hang “Ubertubes” to earn extra points. “That’s a difficult challenge because you have to program the robot to do it on its own. You can’t control it yourself,” Godez said.
bots to climb the poles. Junior Gen Ritz is participating on the FIRST team for the third year. “I like to build things and create things,” she said. “It’s just fun to hang out with the other people on the team and work together to build a robot and solve the problems that come up.” Sophomore Kyle Modlich said its a pretty amazing experience to build a robot from scratch. “It’s both fun and very difficult,” he said. “It’s not easy to build a robot and get it to run the way you want. I can’t wait to see it run at the competition.” The Grandview Heights High School Botcats team and their robot compete in the FIRST tournament More than 20 students partic- this weekend in Pittsburgh.

ROBOT Continued from page A1 everyone has ideas about the best way to design and build the robot, sophomore Alex Cochran said. “We do a pretty good job working together,” he said. “We have different groups that are responsible for different aspects of the robot’s design.” “I think our robot has the potential to do really well in the competition,” Ritz said. “Whenever something broke down, we were able to fix it pretty quickly.”
Modlich said many members of his family are in the engineering field and participating in FIRST gives him a more hands-on realistic experience learning about engineering than he can get in a classroom. “I definitely enjoy the problem solving aspect of it,” Cochran said. One never knows what problems are going to crop up and the challenge of finding a solution is fun, he said. afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

6 Edison students qualify for Power of Pen tournament By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Six Edison Intermediate/Middle School students have qualified for Saturday’s regional Power of the Pen tournament at Karrer Middle School in Dublin. Seventh-graders Elizabeth Bergmann and Kayleigh Stelling and eighth-graders Sophia Lombardo, Morgan Ettrich, Siri Petersen and Katie Stiles will compete in the tournament for a chance to qualify for the state finals May 26-27 at the College of Wooster. The students qualified based on their performance last month at a district tournament in New Albany. “This year’s team really came together, not only in terms of their individual performances, but in the way they supported each other and helped each other become better writers,” said seventh-grade language arts teacher and team adviser Diane Powell. In the Power of the Pen competitions, students are given three prompts — a word or a situation — and have 40 minutes to complete a written piece based on the prompt. The team members prepare for the Power of the Pen tournaments by holding regular practices, Powell said. “They’ll write a piece based on a prompt then read each others work and offer their suggestions
and critiques,” she said. “We’re like a basketball team or a volleyball team,” Lombardo said. “We’re there for each other, like teammates.” The critiques are offered to be helpful, not in a mean way, Ettrich said. “Hearing what others think about my work has made me a better writer,” she said. Writing to a specific prompt can be challenging, but also fun, Lombardo said. “I try to write inside the circle, but outside the box,” she said. Stiles said she has always enjoyed writing. “It’s a way to express yourself and be creative,” she said. Petersen said the fun part of writing, especially in Power of the Pen, is finding out where your creativity will take you. “You don’t always know how it’s going to turn out,” she said. Bergmann said she likes the freedom that creative writing gives you. “I can make it go anywhere I want,” she said. “It doesn’t have to go down a certain path. That makes it fun.”

Block captains will serve to keep other participants informed about incidents that have occurred in the community, Troiano said. The Marble Cliff effort marks the first official neighborhood watch program in the Grandview/Marble Cliff area, Harper said. “We’ve had a couple of unofficial programs,” she said. “We’d like to see more neighborhood watch programs get started in our community.” The police department page on the city of Grandview’s website includes a link to information about how to start a neighborhood watch, Harper said. Troiano said she plans to schedule another Marble Cliff neighborhood watch meeting in May.

This 1974 aerial photograph is looking east across Dublin Road, at Cardigan just south of Fifth Avenue. The arrow points to the location of Custom Coach, which was founded in 1955 at this location at 1400 Dublin Road by Miles Elmer. Mr. Elmer was from Clintonville, and owned a company called Agricultural Laboratory, Inc., which made products for Monsanto. One of the products was a low-suds laundry detergent, now known as “all.” Elmer modified a trailer so that he could travel with his family to sell the product, and this led to his new business modifying large bus shells for luxury travel use. The bus at the lower left was a modified 1952 Flxible bus using the Custom Coach “Land Yacht” conversion. The bus at the lower right was a 1964 Flxible that was modified for A.E. Knowlton, the Ohio businessman and benefactor for whom the Knowlton School of Architecture at Ohio State is named. Custom Coach was internationally known, creating conversions for rock bands, politicians, world leaders, sports figures and industries. The company was sold in 2002 to Farber Specialty Vehicles and moved the following year to Reynoldsburg.
The work of Columbus native Ned Moore will be exhibited in the Burkhart Corridor at First Community Village during March and April. FCV is located at 1800 Riverside Drive. Moore graduated from Ohio State’s School of Fine Arts. After serving in the army as a special services artist during the Korean War, he worked as an illustrator-designer in Chicago and central Ohio art studios. Moore’s academic career began at OSU’s School of Architecture. He then became associate professor of advertising design and fine art at the Columbus College of Art and Design. Moore is retired from CCAD and devotes his time to watercolor painting. He has exhibited in many national shows and in Fordsponsored traveling exhibits in Europe and the Middle East.

As it were
About a century ago, Columbus, like much of the rest of America, was coping with change. A mostly rural agricultural society was rapidly becoming an urban and industrial nation. The process had begun shortly after the end of the American Civil War and would not really end until well into the 20th century. In fact, it would not be until well into the 1920s that most Ohioans would be living in or near its large cities. But at the turn of the century, the great need of new businesses was not simply for more workers with strong backs and boundless energy, although such people would always be welcome. Just as important was the need for a whole new generation of white collar workers to help handle the administrative and managerial tasks of the new world of “modern business.” In an era when most young people did not go much beyond the eighth grade in the school system, large numbers of students missed out on the useful training that a “business course” in high school could provide. But the need for young people in the new offices created by new businesses was still there. To meet that need, other community organizations tried to be of help. Important among them was the Young Men’s Christian Association or YMCA. Brought to Columbus in 1855 by Henry B. Carrington — a man who would later go on to some renown in the Civil War and the Indian Wars that followed — the YMCA became an important social organization. By 1893, it had established itself in a nice building at 30 S. Third St. in Columbus. In this building, young men could participate in physical education programs, religious meetings and a wide variety of educational courses. One course, taught by Homer Niday, was called “The Business Boys Training School.” Mr. Niday, the head bookkeeper at the American Savings Bank, asserted that with his course, “the question of breaking in a new office boy is settled to the satisfaction of all concerned.” Looking at a summary of Mr. Niday’s course that appeared in the local press at the time, we can learn something of both what has changed and what has not changed in local business education. “At present there are 15 boys in the ‘Business Boys Training School’ranging in age from 15 to 18 years. Promptly at seven of o’clock, they came in — brightfaced, alert, quick-stepping youngsters, whose every attitude showed they were there for business. “ And what exactly did these young men learn in their classes at the YMCA? “Complete mastery of typewriters of all makes, and the clever art of keeping the machines clean, oiled and in good order, proper punctuation and neatness with all copy “ “How to write a check; how to indorse a check; how to give a receipt; how to deposit money at the
bank and how to give out change. “How to answer telephone calls and the importance of alED ways being courteous, LENTZ even to the most peevish caller. “How to manipulate the adding machine; how to make mimeograph copies; how to file papers and clippings; how to open and sort the mail and place it neatly for the man ‘higher-up’. “How to write, fold and stamp letters with accurate neatness.” Reading through all of this, anybody who has recently worked in an office will notice how much has changed from a century ago. First and foremost, there will soon be as many office girls as office boys. And while complete mastery of office machines is important, most of them do not today require all that much oiling. Similarly, most adding machines have been replaced by pocket calculators and the mimeograph is now a museum exhibit rather than a means of making copies. Despite all of these technical differences between that time and our own, Homer Niday left his students with certain pieces of advice: “Be ‘Johnnie on the Spot’when needed.” “The business world has no place for the laggard, even a new office boy.” “When you go anywhere to rep-
resent your firm, show that you are proud of it.” “When you answer a telephone or greet a caller, be courteous and pleasant.” “Remember that office boys grow up very gradually and that there is sure promotion for the lad who is sincere, energetic and reliable.” “Study your employer’s business and interests and aim to make yourself valuable to him from the very first day you enter his office” While most of us will not be called upon soon to oil a typewriter or operate a mimeograph, the general advice as to deportment and discipline given by Mr. Niday is just as valuable today as it was more than a century ago. The newspaper article from more than century ago concluded optimistically, “That the business world has no place for laggards, even a new office boy, is the A B C D of this school for hustlers. That there is always room ‘higher up’for the faithful boy is an incentive which is not overlooked. “The boys in Mr. Niday’s class will certainly be well qualified for their work when they ‘graduate.’ The course is six months long with lessons twice each week, Tuesday evenings and Thursday evenings … And Mr. Niday’s boys? While their names remain unknown, I would like to believe that they went on to some success. They certainly seemed to be well prepared to do so. Ed Lentz writes a history column for ThisWeek.

Arcy helping Patriots ice foes It was a hockey game that the players, coaches and fans won’t soon forget. On March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus, top-seeded Dublin Jerome played second-seeded Olentangy Liberty for a district championship. The winner would advance to a state semifinal against Toledo St. Francis at noon Saturday, March 12, at Nationwide LARRY Arena. Liberty’s LARSON Marshall Oja settled the drama, scoring early in the second overtime to give the Patriots a 3-2 victory. The game featured a matchup of two standout goaltenders in Jerome senior Josh Howell and Liberty junior Eddie Arcy, who stopped 30 shots in the game after he had made 17 saves in a 3-0 win over Dublin Coffman on Feb. 27. “What a game that was,” Arcy said afterward. “Both teams played at a high level and there really wasn’t any room for mistakes. Our team hung tough just like it has all year. From day one, our goal wasn’t only to win the district; it was to win the state tournament. But like any hockey team, we went through some hard times. We had injuries to a number of players that shook our confidence, but we have a great group of players who care greatly about the game of hockey and play it with passion. We care about our coaches, we care about our school and we care about our fans. And after beating a good Jerome team that had beaten us twice during the regular season, this is the best feeling you could ever have in your sport. “I was so excited just to play, to step on the ice in that game, so you can imagine how excited I was when I skated down the ice after I realized that Marshall had scored the game-winning goal. There has never, ever been a more satisfying moment for me in sports.” Looking ahead to the match against St. Francis, Arcy said, “It will be another awesome experience. We all know they are a terrific team, but our defense has been outstanding in the post-

Dan Satterthwaite (top) of Grandview Heights works on Cincinnati Reading’s Christian Elfers in a consolation-round match at 215 pounds during the Division III state tournament March 3 at Ohio State. Satterthwaite prevailed 9-5 and went on to earn all-state honors with an eighth-place finish.
Grandview Heights Roundup
Satterthwaite places at state By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Two sports into Dan Satterthwaite’s senior year at Grandview Heights High School, he has earned all-state honors twice. The Bobcats’ 215-pounder finished eighth in the Division III state wrestling tournament to add an all-state honor to one from football in the fall, when he was a second-team offensive lineman in Division V. “I was fourth at sectional (at Madison Plains) and fourth at district (at Coshocton), so no one really expected me to do anything here,” said Satterthwaite, who went 2-3 at state, which concluded March 5 at Ohio State. “Before the season, I didn’t have the best technique, but I knew if I worked hard I could do this.” Satterthwaite was the first wrestler to place at state for the Bobcats since 2006 when the program had three reach the podium. That season, Chad Davis won the state title at 215 with Max Wyse finishing fourth at 140 and David Murray seventh at 135. “Chad Davis is an assistant See LARSON, page A6 coach for us right now and he

pushed Danny in the wrestling room to get him here,” coach Andy DiSabato said. “No one really gave (Satterthwaite) much of a chance to do this other than the coaches and himself. He came and worked hard to get his picture up on the wall in the
wrestling room.” Satterthwaite went 36-13 this season. He lost his openinground match at state in a 14-4 major decision to eventual runner-up Kennedy Smith of Bedford Chanel. He then beat Cincinnati
Reading’s Christian Elfers 9-5 in his first consolation match and defeated Tuscarawas Central Catholic’s Bryan Adams 53. The latter victory guaranteed Satterthwaite all-state honors. “That was a big match because he lost to (Adams) by one
point (4-3) at district (on Feb. 26),” DiSabato said. “We knew he could wrestle with him.” Satterthwaite then lost 7-1 to Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy’s Matt Meadows, who finished third, and dropped a 4-1 decision to Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic’s Kody Bellamy. “It was just incredible to be able to walk down that tunnel and be able to wrestle here (at Ohio State),” said Satterthwaite, who might compete in track and field this spring. “(Coming out of the tunnel), you see thousands of screaming people and all of the mats in front of you. It’s a lot different than Grandview.” The Bobcats tied for 73rd (2 points) with Caledonia River Valley, Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Lima Central Catholic, Tuscarawas Central Catholic and Tiffin Calvert as 89 teams scored and Bedford Chanel (99) won the state title. •The girls basketball team lost to top-seeded Africentric 83-37 in a Division III district semifinal on March 1 at Olentangy Orange to finish 12-11 See BOBCATS, page A6
Ready Roundup
Smith, Hall place at state wrestling tournament By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
Allison Lichwa of Ready competes in the state tournament March 4 at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl. The senior rolled a 501 series to finish 63rd.
The goal of winning a Division III championship still was within reach for Ready High School wrestlers Bobby Smith and Josh Hall late on the second day of the three-day state tournament. It ultimately didn’t work out for either. Smith and Hall each lost semifinal matches and fell into the backdraw, but the duo went on to give the Silver Knights their first state placers since Jordan Dawson was eighth at 119 pounds in 2005. Smith earned a fifth-place finish at 103 and Hall placed sixth at 112 at state, which concluded March 5 at Ohio State. “Both were staring state finals in the face,” coach Chance Van Gundy said. “Josh put together a good three weeks, worked hard, wrestled hard and ended his senior year on the podium. Bobby has been in a lot of big tournaments and matches, but nothing prepares you for the state tournament.” Smith won his first two matches but lost to Bedford Chanel’s Aaron Assad 21 in two overtimes in a semifinal. After losing to Mechanicsburg’s Austin Reese 2-1 in a consolation semifinal, Smith bounced back from a 3-0 deficit late in his fifth-place match to pin Marion Pleasant’s Zon Fields in 4 minutes, 40 seconds. Smith lost to Fields in a district tournament semifinal Feb. 26 at Coshocton. “I was a little depressed before (the state match against Fields),” said Smith,

who finished his freshman season with a 43-4 record. “I was thinking I needed to get a five-pointer or a pin. (Fields) ended up in an over-under situation and I just twisted off and went into a throw. It’s hard to come back from a loss. (Assad and I) are about even, but he was just a little better than me that day.” “It’s a nice consolation prize,” Van Gundy said of Smith beating Fields. “It was about him putting together five more minutes. You can’t go out there and quit. He wanted to be in the finals, but I’m
excited for his future.” Hall won his first two matches before falling to Waynesville’s Cody Steiner 96 in a semifinal. Hall then fell to Middlefield Cardinal’s Casey Johns 8-1 in a consolation semifinal and defaulted his fifth-place match to Apple Creek Waynedale’s Tyler Harter. Hall has battled a shoulder injury in recent weeks. It flared up to the point that he couldn’t lift it on the third day of the See READY, page A6

season and our offense is getting the job done. Now we get to play on the same ice that the Columbus Blue Jackets and the rest of the NHL players play on. What a thrill it will be and I really can’t believe we made it there, but our team confidence right now is out the roof and I think that will help us a lot.” Discussing his role as his team’s last line of defense, Arcy said, “My job is simply stopping the puck. I have played the goalie position since I was 6 years old and I think I have been in almost every situation possible and I have played some pretty high-level games, which will help on Saturday. “As a goalie, I have learned that you have to block out all the external things going on during a game and just focus on playing my game with a smile on my face. I love the game of hockey and I love the competition. “I understand my role as goalie can control the outcome of any game, but am excited to be in that position. Playing this position with my teammates has truly boosted my confidence as a young person and made me believe in myself, and that goes
a long way in all aspects of my life. I can’t wait until Saturday.” These are the moments that sports provide for a lifetime. For Arcy and his teammates, the district championship will be
lodged in their minds forever. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School.

Middendorf led the Bobcats by scoring 13.1 points per game and was first-team all-league and honorable mention all-district. Hawk averaged 8.6 points and was second-team all-league. “We had two seniors and they did a good job for us throughout the year,” said coach Ray Corbett, who completed his 24th season. “They put a lot of time into the program and put in hard work day in and day out.” Leading scorers expected back are Treasure (9.4 points per game) and 6-1 junior point guard Oliver Rouch (5.9).

We hope to get him back to full strength next year.”

The Bobcats trailed 12-8 after one quarter, but Africentric shot 15 of 17 from the floor in a 31-point second quarter to build a 43-18 halftime lead. “I told the girls in the locker room how much they mean to me. I love the way they have gone out and competed this year, though I would have liked to compete more in this game (with Africentric),” coach Steve Hall said. “They have been a great group to work with.” The Nubians outscored Grandview 28-9 in the third quarter.

He went 0-2 at state a year ago. “I should have placed higher,” said Hall, who finished with a 40-7 record. “I was one mistake away from making it to the finals. It was definitely better than last year. I picked up a couple more Ws.” The state performances by Smith and Hall completed a season in which Ready found significantly more success than a year ago. The Silver Knights scored 256.5 points to win the CCL tournament Feb. 12 at Watterson, ahead of DeSales (183.5), St. Charles (150), Hartley (137) and the host Eagles (48). Hall and Smith were joined as conference champions by senior Phil Halko (160) and freshmen Will Martello (130), Dalton Scott (119) and Hannibal Tate (145). Ready placed third (176.5) at the sectional at Madison Plains behind West Jefferson (254.5) and Amanda-Clearcreek (218.5).

Other seniors on the team were Brian Montgomery (125) and Chris Goodberlet (152). The Silver Knights had 15 freshmen among their 24 competitors. •Senior Allison Lichwa finished 63rd (501) at the girls state bowling tournament March 4 at Wayne Webb’s Columbus Bowl. She followed rounds of 165 and 154 with a 182. The tournament was delayed for more than three hours because of a power outage midway through the competition. “It’s been a great experience,” Lichwa said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better time than I had. It’s been fun and entertaining just to watch everybody bowl. The lights going out was pretty memorable.” Lichwa was second at the Eastland Lanes sectional tournament Feb. 18 with a 583 behind Chillicothe’s Summer Finley (584) to advance to district as an individual. She then placed third (582) at district Feb. 26 at HP Lanes. Lichwa, who was a four-time district qualifier, was the only senior on the girls team.

Among those eligible to return are junior Noah Yoder, sophomore Colin Rowe and freshmen Zach Bair and Andrew Rinehart. •The boys basketball team will lose three players to graduation in Nick Alvarez, Kyle Bergman and Christian Knapper, but only Knapper was a key contributor. He joined the team for the final 12 games after returning from a broken leg and averaged 5.1 points. Junior Derek Farmer and sophomore Kyle Wilgus, who both averaged 10 points, should be the top returnees next season along with junior Bo Hardy (6.5 ppg), sophomores Kris Clarke (3 ppg) and Doug Strickler (5 ppg) and freshman Brady Taylor (3.5 ppg). Ready finished 6-16 overall after advancing to a state semifinal in 2010.

Hartley won the CCL at 7-1 ahead of DeSales (6-2), Watterson (4-4), St. Charles (3-5) and Ready (0-8). “We were a much better team in the second half of the year than in the first half,” secondyear coach Don Worstell said. “We could see it happening daily. We’re really excited about our freshman and sophomore classes, and we had a couple juniors who stepped up and had good finishes.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
