HOCKEY Continued from page C1 “Beating St. Charles and Jerome in the Blue Jackets Cup were highlights,” Pooley said. “Beating Jerome three times was a big deal for us, too, because we’ve got a good rivalry and they’re a very good team. I feel we could have won the Blue Jackets Cup based on how well we played, but we just couldn’t find a way to get the goals we needed to beat Liberty.” The Shamrocks lose 10 seniors, including goaltender Nathan Schuman (18-7-2-1, 2.12 goalsagainst average, 90.4 save percentage), forwards Sam O’Brien (34 goals, 51 assists) and A.J. Early (7 goals, 13 assists) and defensemen Steven Panchyshyn (3 goals, 10 assists, plus-32), Matt Smith (6 goals, 11 assists, plus27), Gregory Strine (9 goals, 19 The Dublin Suns basketball team won the DYA seventh-grade tournament A-bracket championship. assists, plus-37) and Matt Terry Team members are (front row, from left) Kayden Molock, Sam Yancer, Andrew Tomko, Drew (7 assists, plus-17).

Nathan Schuman really answered the bell as a firstyear starter in goal. And we’re losing four defensemen who were really good, too.” Junior Kyler Burich is expected to become Coffman’s No. 1 goaltender next season, after going 5-2 with a 2.05 GAA and a 90.3 save percentage this season. Junior Eric Gute (1 goal, 9 assists, plus-30) is expected to be the Shamrocks’top returning defenseman, and Putnam, Kreber, and sophomores Ian Flinders (35 goals, 33 assists) and Chris DiBiase (10 goals, 4 assists) are expected to be the team’s top returning forwards.

“The difference between next year and the past seven years is we’re going to be rebuilding instead of reloading,” Pooley said. “We’re going to be really young and inexperienced for the first time in a long time.” •After finishing 13th in the CHC standings, Scioto went 12 to finish fourth in the Blue Jackets Cup consolation tournament, beating Kilbourne 6-2 on Feb. 11, losing to Thomas 4-0 on Feb. 12 and losing to Gahanna 9-0 in a consolation final Feb. 13. The Irish then lost to Gahanna 4-1 in their district tournament opener Feb. 18 to finish 7-24 overall. Junior forward Grant Noppenberger said the highlight of Scioto’s season was going 3-1 in the MLK Tournament in Monroe, Mich., to place third. The Irish opened the tournament with an 8-4 loss to Ottawa Hills on Jan. 14, but bounced back to beat Akron Hoban 7-0 and Cincinnati Elder 7-2 on Jan. 15 before defeating Hoban 5-4 on Jan. 16.

game winning streak. “The best part of our season was definitely the Michigan tournament where we went 3-1, because we played so well,” Noppenberger said. “We didn’t play that well in the Blue Jackets Cup, but we played a lot better against Gahanna in our tournament game.” The Irish lose four seniors, including forward Colin Best (3 goals, 7 assists) and defenseman Paul Tela, both of whom served as team captains. Scioto expects to return four of its top five forwards in juniors Sean Isernhagen (7 goals, 3 assists) and Tyler Smoot (4 goals, 4 assists), sophomore Zach Vallette (21 goals, 23 assists) and freshman Tate Bowen (10 goals, 9 assists). Junior goaltender Chris Beatty and Scioto’s top two defensemen, Noppenberger (22 goals, 5 assists) and sophomore Bryant Tela, also are expected back. “Our seniors were good role models, but I definitely think we’ll be a lot better next year with a lot of returning players coming back,” Noppenberger said. ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
