Riverlea annexation likely to go on ballot Worthington and village residents would vote on terms set by commission By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Voters probably will decide whether the village of Riverlea will become part of the city of Worthington. By a 5-2 vote during a special Sunday night meeting April 10, Worthington City Council put into motion negotiations to set terms of the annexation of the 545-resident village. According
to state law, once a six-member commission sets the terms of the annexation, it then must be decided by voters of both Worthington and Riverlea. The city still could pass an ordinance to accept the annexation without a vote of residents, but that decision could be overturned by a petition signed by 25 percent of registered Worthington voters. Council may hot, however, vote to reject the annexation after the commis-
sion’s decision. The annexation bid came from a committee of Riverlea residents, who successfully collected enough signatures to put the annexation process into motion. During the Sunday meeting, Worthington council had the option of doing nothing, which would have stopped the annexation bid. Instead, members voted to declare the city’s intent to enter into annexation ne-
gotiations and appointed three council members to represent the city on the annexation commission. Council president Lou Goorey and council members Bob Chosy and Robert Schmidt will serve on the commission. Representing Riverlea will be Kirk McHugh, Scott Gordon and Eric MacGilvray. If the six cannot agree to terms of annexation, a Franklin County probate
judge must appoint a nonresident to the commission. The commission has 120 days to arrange the conditions of annexation and report back to the councils of Worthington and Riverlea. Both then must order the question to be placed on the ballot at the next election, according to state law. See RIVERLEA, page A2

The Worthington Board of Education approved the retirement of 20 teachers April 11. Combined, those teachers have 442 year of experience in the Worthington schools. “There could easily be 20,000 students who were touched by the folks whose retirements we are accepting tonight,” Superintendent Melissa Conrath said. Those retiring are as follows: • Suzanne Beach, who teaches third grade at Worthington Park Elementary School. She is completing her 15th year in Worthington. • Nancy Beattie, who teaches English at Thomas Worthington High School. She is completing her 29th year in Worthington. • Anita Beck, who teaches first grade at Brookside Elementary School. She is completing her 31st year in Worthington. • Sandra Bell, who teaches second grade at Worthington Park Elementary School. She is completing her 24th year in Worthington. • Rick Bensman, a counselorsocial studies teacher at Linworth High School. He is completing his 36th year in Worthington. See RETIRING, page A2

Superintendents in districts similar to Worthington earn an average annual salary of $158,125, plus such benefits as retirement pickups, annuities, car allowances and bonuses. Those figures, plus comparative figures from the private sector, will be shared with candidates for the Worthington superintendent’s position. Ralph Johnson, of the Educational Service Center of Central Ohio (the organization helping the board in its search for a successor for Superintendent Melissa Conrath), presented the figures to the Worthington Board of Education during its April 11 meeting. Conrath will retire in October. Her current salary, after five years in the district, is $153,824, plus benefits. The district pays her share of the State Teachers Retirement System contribution, which is equal to 10 percent of her salary. Districts are required to pay 16 percent of a superintendent’s salary into STRS. The superintendent then must add 10 percent. In Worthington and in all districts in the study, the districts pay that 10 percent. Conrath receives an annuity of 19.4 percent of her salary in lieu of having the district pay for her health insurance. Health insurance for her and her husband, if the district had provided it, would have cost about $12,000 a year, she said.
“
Our superintendent should be paid in line with our salary scale of our faculty.
CHARLIE WILSON school board member
Conrath receives no car or communication allowance. Her contract calls for a 2-percent annual merit bonus, but she and the board have agreed to forgo that bonus each year because of the financial condition of the district. To come up with averages from districts with similar demographics, the consultants looked at districts in Hilliard, Dublin, Lakota, Westerville, Mason, Strongsville, Solon and Olentangy. The average annuity, paid in seven of the eight similar districts, is $14,905. Five of eight districts provide car allowances, with the average being $7,600 a year. The average communication allowance, paid in three of eight districts, is $1,800. Four districts pay bonuses, with the average being $4,100 a year. Johnson also presented privatesector figures for similar jobs. The chief executive officer of a central Ohio private company with more than 1,200 employees earns an average of $279,583, he See SALARY, page A2

RIVERLEA Continued from page A1 Worthington council has the right to waive the election, but several council members on Sunday said they voted to continue with the process so that voters could make the decision. “If it’s a bad deal for Riverlea, they’ll vote it down,” Worthington council member Dave Norstrom said. “If it’s a bad deal for Worthington, we’ll vote it down.” Sunday’s discussion was less amicable, though, as members of both councils and residents debated the issues for two-and-ahalf hours. Riverlea Mayor Mary Jo Cusack made it clear that the annexation bid had not come from officials of the village, but rather from a group of residents working independently of village council. Village council was required to enter into discussions and appoint three commissioners once the petition was certified by the Franklin County Board of Elections. “My present thought is, this isn’t going to pass, but I don’t know that,” she said. MacGilvray said he has been approached by Riverlea residents, asking how he could let this occur. Some who signed the petition believed erroneously that annexation to Worthington would solve such problems as children being prohibited from cutting through private property en route to school. It would not, he said. Others wanted the city to rescue the village from the rising cost of maintaining its roads and sewers, he said. “If you offered me $10 million to fix the infrastructure, I would say no,” MacGilvray said. “It’s not for sale.” Norstrom rejected Cusack’s
“

recommendation that the issue be delayed until both sides are able to informally discuss the issue. “In government, delay can kill anything,” Norstrom said. “You did not give a balanced presentation.” Cusack said some of the petition signers are unhappy with the village’s planning commission, which has made some unpopular decisions regarding proposed lot splits. Worthington council member Scott Myers said he was confused about the motivation behind the annexation proposal. Is it about money or an internal political battle? he asked. McHugh said the process began out of genuine concern of some residents but in the end would be punitive to some people. The question regarding the relative costs and benefits to both subdivisions would be one to be
studied further by the commission. Updated but preliminary figures from city officials on Sunday showed Worthington gaining $98,165 in annual revenues following annexation but paying $310,070 to $610,070 annually. The expense figure probably would be on the lower side of the projection because Worthington city engineer Bill Watterson looked at the projected cost of street repairs and determined they would be on the lower end of the projected $200,000 to $500,000 cost. The infrastructure cost could be even less if a fee were charged to Riverlea residents for the street repairs, Norstrom said. He said he believes Worthington could benefit from the additional population. Myers and Chosy cast the dissenting votes. Chosy said he hopes Riverlea someday becomes part of Worthington, but he sees a “shaky background” to the present movement. Myers said his vote was not about costs but about the future of Riverlea. “Riverlea is going to lose its character as a village,” he said.

Seafood will be key ingredient at Rivage and The Back Room By CANDY BROOKS ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The rich woods, granite tabletops and bar and the exposed brick are beautiful but not unusual in central Ohio. The extensive list of designer beers on tap, the personable hands-on owners and imported chef are promising, for sure. Still, to understand what will really set apart Rivage Atlantique from the other new restaurants, one needs to scan the menu: Apalachicola oysters with spinach and Creole cream; low country shrimp and grits; stuffed quahog; white lobster pizzetta; mahi mahi papillote. All will be made from fresh seafood, most flown in from Boston, and prepared in a kitchen by a chef who said central Ohio is ready for a real seafood restaurant with no chains attached. “I think it’s exciting,” said chef Rich Flagg, who will open Rivage by month’s end with owners Brett Holland and Bill Cosgrove. “We should be open in about two weeks, definitely by the end of the month,” Holland said on April 11. The new restaurant is in the strip center at High Street and New England Avenue, in the former Caffe Daniela site. The interior has undergone a complete makeover. The earthy materials of the new floors, wall, and tables give the restaurant the look of upscale restaurants in Las Vegas, as the owners had envisioned. The back room, appropriately called The Back Room, will be the eye-opener for those accustomed to seeing a closed-off, dark venue. The large horseshoe-shaped wood and granite bar sits in the center of a bright room with high ceilings, exposed pipes and large windows. The windows along the rear of the restaurant already were there but were always covered. The new owners opened them, freshened up a back entrance and created a bar they expect to attract a big happy-hour crowd and

allow diners to wait in style. The Back Room is not meant to be a townie-style bar, though, Holland said. He and Cosgrove have owned the Grandview Cafe for four years and like what they have there. But Rivage and the Back Room will have little in common with the Grandview landmark. “Our intent is to be a destination central Ohio restaurant, not a neighborhood bar,” Holland said. He and Cosgrove had intended to open a second restaurant and were encouraged to look at the vacant Caffe Daniela site by friend Donnie Austin of House Wine, three doors down from Rivage. Sold on the possibilities that the site promises, Holland and Cosgrove knew they had to first confirm what they knew would be the winning ingredient in their next restaurant. Holland had worked with Flagg years ago in Hilton Head, S.C., and had never forgotten the talented chef. “When Brett and I talked about doing this place, we talked about Rich,” Cosgrove said. “It all revolved around Rich’s participation.” Flagg grew up with a mother who was a caterer. He was cheap labor, he said, and learned his craft early. In addition to upscale restaurants in Hilton Head, he worked
for years opening restaurants for a well-known chain in the south. It was in Boston, however, at a seafood restaurant named Skip Jacks, where he served an internship and learned from the best, he said. After years in Boston, he grew tired of the cold and returned to the south, where he was living when he received a call from his old friend in Worthington. With the owners’ backing, he will be able to fly seafood in from the Boston fish pier several times a week. That is where they will get the cod, scallops, sole, mussels and clams that will be the mainstays of the menu. Rivage also will feature “land” dishes, like beef, short ribs and chicken, as well as Back Room dishes like smoked trout pate and sliders, salads and dips to eat around the bar. Saturdays and Sundays will offer brunch, featuring more seafood dishes like fresh blue crabmeat or lobster with poached eggs, along with more traditional fare. Flagg said he has cooked most of the dishes on the menu and would stick to his tried and true basic philosophy of food preparation. “I try to use fresh, simple ingredients, put together simply and with balance,” he said.
‘Hazard’ is history
By Chris Parker/ThisWeek
A demolition crew from Lowendick and Sons created rubble where a house once stood on the southwest corner of West Dublin-Granville and Olentangy River roads on Monday. Vacant for at least a decade, the house had been declared “a serious hazard” by Franklin County in December. Trustee for the property is attorney Thomas Moloney, who said he knows of no plans to develop the property.

was a man still looking for a place to call his own. Having just married young Lydia Nelson, he heard in 1797 that an acquaintance named Lucas Sullivant was establishing a town at the forks of the Scioto and Olentangy rivers in the Northwest Territory. Deciding to seek his fortune in Ohio, Joseph Foos arrived in frontier Franklinton in 1798 with his wife and infant son, Nelson. There were not many people in the village. The few who had arrived in the fall of 1797 saw their homes and possessions inundated in a flood in March 1798. The whole town had relocated itself to higher ground to the west of the river and it was here that Foos built his own cabin. To make a living for his family, he soon opened a tavern and inn at his home and later operated the first ferry across the Scioto to the Refugee Tract east of the river. The tract had been set aside for refugees from Canada and was virtually unoccupied.

AS IT WERE Continued from page A4 ing for work and a place to stay. Having no money, the schoolmaster provided Foos with lessons in return for room and board and an occasional libation. With his new ability to read and write with some fluency, Foos soon found his niche: He went into politics. Foos would serve as one of the three judges in the first Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in 1803. In 1808, he was elected to the state senate and would serve — with an occasional interruption — until 1828. As a member of the Ohio General Assembly, Foos lobbied hard to have central Ohio become the site of a relocated state capital. After the “High Banks opposite Franklinton� was selected as the place for a new capital city, Foos was appalled to learn that a number of people thought the new town should be named Ohio City. He disagreed. A great admirer of Christopher Columbus, Joseph Foos believed the town should be named for the explorer. After using the tried-and-true method of persuasion accompanied by liberal amounts of strong drink, Foos convinced a majority of the assembly to name the town Columbus. During the War of 1812, Foos raised a militia company. He quickly rose from a captaincy to the rank of brigadier general of volunteers. Perhaps one of the reasons he moved up in rank so quickly was his ability to give stirring speeches to his troops, albeit a bit different than the ones we might hear today. Arriving at Camp Barr on the Sandusky Plains, he addressed his men, in part, as follows: “This cruel and relentless foe, instigated by the enemies of liberty, would gladly imbue their hands in the blood of your wives, your mothers, your sisters, your children and traffic their scalps for British trinkets. These considerations induced me, under the direction of His Excellency, the governor of the state, to collect and march you to this place.� Foos went on to say the armies of the United States “were rolling on, like an impetuous torrent, toward the Canadas,� and that “the sons of liberty will subdue that land of despotism and knock off the manacles of her slaves.� Arriving back from the war in 1816, Joseph Foos took up his seat in the Ohio Senate and returned

FINAL WEEKEND
Have You Heard?
Featuring 15 BIA builders in 38 communities around Central Ohio.
by Greg VanHorssen SEE WHAT I’M TELLING YOU? You don’t have to be a lip reader to have your eyes play a major role in hearing what people are saying. The fact is that the brain combines information provided by different senses to make determinations. Perhaps the most notable demonstration of this phenomenon is the so-called “McGurk Effect,” which involves dubbing a syllable or word onto a video of a person’s face making a different sound. Researchers found that people watching the doctored video would “hear” what they saw the person saying, not the dubbed sound. In some cases, people actually came up with sounds that they made up entirely (combinations of the audio and video). This interesting effect shows that you may need your glasses to hear clearly.
Look for the Signs! CONDO QUEST
Being able to clearly see speakers’ faces allows the hearing-impaired to read the visual cues that accompany the spoken message. If you have a hearing loss, ask people to face you when they are speaking to you so that you can watch their faces and see their expressions. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, our staff of professionals has years of experience providing the best possible hearing care to our patients. We invite you to call us today 614-654-4309 to schedule a hearing evaluation. We feature the top ten hearing aid brands at prices below any competitor in Ohio. On average, our patients traveled 40 miles each way to save 35% to 70% on their hearing!
HOME QUEST
We handle Starkey, Phonak, Siemens, Unitron, MicroTech, GN ReSound, Rexton, Oticon, and Widex. Plus, we have the same products as NU-Ear, Audibel, AudioSync, and Miracle Ear, but you will save $1,000’s with us!

The Columbus Jazz Orchestra pays tribute to this rich history with “A Night at the Apollo” through Sunday, April 17, at the Southern Theatre. Joined by singer Marva Hicks, the program will celebrate the music of Ella Fitzgerald, Gladys Knight, James Brown, Sam Cooke and more. Tickets are $49-$41. Call (614) 294-5200.

Steffanie Leigh as Mary Poppins, Talon Ackerman as Michael Banks and Camille Mancuso as Jane Banks in the National Tour of Mary Poppins.
Three guesses what job
5 Steffanie Leigh was work-
ing when she got the lead role in the national tour of Mary Poppins. “I was definitely not as good a nanny as Mary Poppins,” Leigh told The Beat with a laugh. That bit of real-life coincidence is just a stage-setter for the magic of which Leigh gets to be a part on a nightly basis. “To be ‘practically perfect.’It’s fun to create those illusions,” Leigh said. Those illusions include, of course, flight, but also a plethora of items retrieved from her magic bag during the opening number, Practically Perfect. (Leigh refused to provide behind-the-scenes secrets for either.) She did, however, explain that the stage production storyline is not a mirror image of the 1964 film, as the creative team opted to adapt some of the same and some different vignettes from the book on which both are based. “It’s more of a character study of the family and their transformation,” Leigh explained. A family — the Bankses — which she

pretty amazing.” Leigh concurred, adding that longtime fan favorites like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Jolly Holiday stand alongside new numbers composed for the stage show like the powerful Anything Can Happen. “But I really love singing Feed the Birds,” Leigh added. “It has such beautiful lyrics and melody. And, in our production it’s set in front of a beautiful backdrop of St. Paul’s Cathedral.” Both Mancuso and Leigh have seen the movie over and over, but more from a fan’s perspective than an actor’s. Leigh said that, while the stage show is different, the film’s popularity is nothing to run away from. “We embrace the fact that it’s well-known,” she explained. “I’ll never be Julie Andrews. But I love getting to play such a magical character, where you can just let your imagination go.”
helps transform. Her charges include Michael and Jane Banks, the latter of which is played by 11-year-old Camille Mancuso of Blacklick. “We start off being total brats and snobs,” Mancuso told The Beat. “Mary takes us on some crazy adventures and we realize we don’t have to be brats. We can just have fun.” And fun is had by all. Mancuso said the children are the busiest of all the cast members, but that it seems a fair trade to participate in all the rollicking, frolicking fun. “I get to spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious every day,” Mancuso said. “And getting to interact with all these great people For more from The Beat’s inon stage is a blast.

Turkish delights abound in Dublin strip mall Situated in present-day Turkey, the historic city of Ephesus was a major urban center, even during the high times of the ancient Greeks and the Roman Empire. Situated in a strip mall in Dublin, Cafe Ephesus brings to our area those potent traditions of lusty Turkish cooking at unbeatable values (big portions, great food and right-on prices). Cafe Ephesus adds to its cost-effective attractions by subtracting the adult beverage part from your bill: It doesn’t sell booze. And while the place isn’t fancy, it’s far from a drag to eat in its modern and pleasant facilities. In your ears will be rousing Turkish tunes and on the walls are a few framed, postcard-worthy photographs of watery scenes near the famous city. There are also a couple of colorful, hanging Turkish rugs, some pretty blue tiles along the back wall and a paneled, festive painting of a laid-out banquet positioned above the little semi-open kitchen.

by G.A. Benton Of course, it’s what’s on the dishes that counts, and that’s the most impressive aspect of Cafe Ephesus. A great way to begin exploring some of its bold Turkish flavors is with the Combination Plate of dips and salad-cold appetizers ($14, easily serves three). Arrayed like a dartboard, that killer veggie-heavy platter hit the bulls-eye of authenticity with Kisir, similar to tabbouli but more complex and crunchy, with nuts and a much higher bulgur-toparsley ratio; Ezme, like a fiery Turkish salsa; Haydari , a rich and thick yogurt dip brightened by dill and mint; Dolmasi, vegetarian grape leaves stuffed with cinnamon rice, pine nuts and currants; Barbunya Pilaki, a neat pinto bean, onion, potato and tomato salad; Soslu

Seekers of more aromatic food might pick the sausagey Adana kebabs ($12), also available in a nifty chicken version. Not into kebabs tonight? No problem, Ephesus has you covered with a seafood dish like an unusual, rich and terrific Tilapia ($13), baked with mushrooms, peppers, onions and plenty of cheese and sided with one of Ephesus’ great salads. But there are also other terrestrial triumphs, like wonderful cabbage rolls (Lahana Dolmasi, $12). Desserts lived up to Ephesus’ fantastic savory fare.

Probably the healthiest pancakes you’ll ever eat, they’re crispy yet springy and made with shredded veggies (mostly zucchini and potato) and come with a side of herbed yogurt dip. You gotta get the kebabs right at a Turkish restaurant, and Ephesus certainly does.

Bakery gets cooking inside Chinese restaurant in Clintonville Ying’s Tea House & Yum-Yum has a sweet new partner. Ying Liu, owner of the Clintonville restaurant, and baker Elena Birukow have formed Yum-Yum Bakery, which now occupies a portion of the space at 4312 N. High St. Birukow’s creations run the gamut — from savory to sweet and touching all styles. Pastry cases are lined with cannoli, napoleons, Russian-style stuffed buns, fresh-baked breads, cinnamon rolls, muffins and other baked goods. Unconventional flavors are in order for doughnuts and cupcakes, she said. “I have many ideas,” she said. She is particularly known for her elaborate
wedding cakes. Birukow also takes special orders for desserts that are not part of the daily lineup. “Everything a bakery can do, I can do,” said the Moscow native. To make things convenient for the earlymorning crowd, the bakery opens at 7 a.m. every day. Liu, for her part, said she is bent on improving the coffee drinks and tea options. She soon will start importing loose-leaf teas from China. Birukow and Liu met through a mutual
friend. Liu said she originally intended to open a dessert shop three years ago but it morphed into a full-service Chinese restaurant.

Hometown Oriental Carryout and Deli has changed hands. The Northwest Side restaurant, owned by husband-and-wife team Hartanto Nugroho and Liliana Liem, has been renamed Lily’s Asian Cuisine, 787 Bethel Road in the Olentangy Plaza. The couple said they will continue to offer most items on the previous menu while they introduce their own bill of fare, which offers mostly Chinese with the occasional Japanese and Thai dish, too. They already have installed a sushi bar. Liem formerly was a sushi chef at Whole Foods.

Green programs go beyond just Earth Day There’s no escaping the “g” word these days. From politics to fashion, “green” is the buzzword of our society.

Worthington Libraries can ease your “green fatigue” this month with programs for all ages. There will be fun crafts and activities for kids and a cute — and practical — project for teens. Adults will learn ways to reduce their impact on the planet, right in their own home and neighborhood. The reward? A healthier community, family and wallet.

Financial finesse
Setting and keeping financial goals With the coming of the spring season comes the opportunity to start fresh in all areas of your life — including your finances. As you consider this, it’s important to include financial resolutions on your list. Following are some tips to help you set financial goals and start off on the right foot: Set measurable goals and put them on paper. Instead of making a resolution to simply save more money, set an amount you’d like to save and chart your progress. Writing out your resolutions creates a contract with yourself that will increase your likelihood of success. Have a plan. If you decide to save, break it up into more manageable pieces and write down your plan. Reaching $5,000 means saving roughly $420 per month. Then figure out how you can trim about $100 a week from your expenses (bringing lunch from home, skipping the lattes, etc.). By breaking it up, the big number will seem reachable.
Make it automatic. If creating an emergency fund is your goal, consider having a portion of each JORDAN paycheck auMILLER III tomatically deposited into a savings account. Direct deposit makes it less likely you’ll be tempted to use the money for other purposes and both employers and banks make it easy to set up and direct funds into different checking, savings or other accounts. Saving just $25 a week through this disciplined approach will net you $3,900 in three years. Use a system to track your money. Money management software can provide a complete picture of your personal finances; free demo versions of some of the popular money management programs are available online. Additionally, through online banking, many financial institu-
tions make it easy to download your account information to these programs. Save your receipts. Keep all of your receipts and statements for the year in a folder. Having detailed records of expenditures can help you gain a better understanding of your spending patterns and could lead to greater tax deductions for those who itemize. When you set your financial resolutions and develop your plan, include your entire family in the process. This is a great way to teach children how to manage money and develop good spending habits — a crucial life lesson and one that children should learn at an early age. Teaching children about finances and personal responsibility will help them become successful, independent adults.

Football
Lines are biggest concern for Wolves By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
When Worthington Kilbourne High School football coach Vince Trombetti scans over his list of players expected to return for the 2011 season, one of the first things he notices is the overall inexperience. In particular, the Wolves will be spending significant time the next few months filling eight big holes — four each on the offensive and defensive lines. For a team that was overcome by in-
juries on the way to being dealt its first losing season since 2006, Trombetti believes that is a significant issue. “We know we’re going to have a very young team next year,” he said. “We’re going to have to bring a lot of kids up to speed. I think that definitely our offensive line is an area of concern. We’ve only got one starter back with experience, and it’s really the same thing with our defensive line.” The Wolves are losing 25 seniors from a team that began battling injuries as early as last August and finished 4-6
overall. Kilbourne went 3-4 in the OCCCentral Division to place fifth, behind Hilliard Davidson (7-0), Dublin Coffman (6-1), Hilliard Darby (5-2) and Upper Arlington (4-3) and ahead of Thomas Worthington (2-5), Central Crossing (1-6) and Westland (0-7). The only player with significant experience back on the lines will be 6-foot6 two-way lineman Chris Skura, who will be a senior next fall after making special mention all-OCC last fall. He started on the offensive line and saw regular action defensively, where he had
23 tackles. The Wolves will be graduating a group of linemen that includes Duke University-recruit Matt Skura and Jeremy Isenhart. Trombetti has been pleased with the work ethic of the group of players who are fighting for jobs on both sides of the line. “We’ve got some guys coming back in our secondary and at linebacker, but our defensive line and offensive line are going to be very new,” he said. “The one thing that’s kind of ironic is the question, ‘Are we getting that message out
to those kids?’I think so, because on the first day of our spring break, every kid that showed up for lifting were offensive and defensive linemen.” Trombetti, who has been coaching football for more than 30 years, said he’s never had a team battle through more injuries than the Wolves did last fall. The one positive amid that situation was that players such as junior Brian Miller and sophomore Matt Wylly gained significant experience. See WOLVES, page C3

Track & Field
Work ethic key to Kyeremeh’s success By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Nana Kyeremeh has changed from the selfprofessed lazy kid he was as a freshman at Thomas Worthington High School. Now a junior sprinter on the boys track and field team, he has been making a name for himself in central Ohio. In the Stingel Invitational at Pickerington North on April 9, Kyeremeh won the 100 meters (11.31 seconds) and was runner-up in the 200 (22.61). He also was the anchor of the 800 relay (area-best 1:29.79) that included juniors Kevin Girgis, Andrew Maetzold and Armand Austin. “I didn’t come out as a freshman because I guess I was lazy and wasn’t motivated to run track,” Kyeremeh said. “One of my friends, Alhaji Bah, was a senior (last year) and wanted me to come out. I was happy that I did because most of my close friends run track. We are all juniors, too, so we’ll be back another year.” That prospect is fine with Thomas boys coach Andy Cox, who praises Kyeremeh’s efforts both on and off the track. “Nana is competitive, and he’s a quiet leader,”
said Cox, whose team finished fourth in the 15team Stingel Invitational with 60 points behind champion Lancaster (106). “He works hard in both track and football and is a smart kid. ... I have him in my Advanced Placement government class. You wish all the kids were like him. “He’s first into the weight room and does everything right. You know he’s going to be successful whatever he chooses to do in life.” Kyeremeh is a first-generation American, born in central Ohio after his family emigrated from Ghana in West Africa. As a defensive back on the football team, his speed and skill have caught the attention of college scouts. “Track is more of an individual sport, but it helps prepare you for football in the fall,” Kyeremeh said. “But football helps prepare you for track as well because of the weightlifting you do in the winter.” Running relays is the best part of track for Kyeremeh. “I like running relays. Open events are fun, but there is less pressure on you in relays,” he said.
Under coach Scott Gordon, the Thomas Worthington High School football team has adopted one- or two-word slogans that summarize all of the goals for the coming season. In 2011, the team might use the phrase “team speed,” and not just because of the new synthetic turf that will be installed at Dow Nelson Field next month. Nana Kyeremeh, a junior safety who anchored the secondary last season, turned heads when he ran a 40-yard time of 4.3 seconds at the McAllister Scouting Report developmental combine in Powell last month. As a result, he has been attracting interest from Division I college coaches, including Akron and Toledo. For Gordon, Kyeremeh is one of a talented group of players who represent a turning point for a program that has struggled to find its footing for much of the past decade. “You’re only as good as your players,” Gordon said. “It’s important to the program that guys can see that they can reach any dream they set. It’s great to see guys that have the tools are getting recognized and noticed by coaches at the next level.” After finishing 3-7 overall and 2-5 in the OCC-Central Division last season, the Cardinals are ready to show they can compete with the elite teams in the league. “Last year definitely left a bad taste in our mouth,” Kyeremeh said. “It’s definitely a motivator to know we’re getting better and see the school and community latch on to that.” Kyeremeh is one of several players who will lead a new-look offense in 2011.

Pitching depth could boost Wolves By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
OCC baseball coaches no longer can save their best arms for every matchup against the top opponents. At least, that’s the belief of Worthington Kilbourne High School coach Jeff Boulware, who realized he’d likely need more than two top starters if the Wolves intended to make a run at another OCC-Central Division championship. For the first time this season, the OCC schedule features backto-back games against the same opponent. “I think it’s going to put a lot of pressure on each team’s pitching staffs, and I think it’s a good thing,” said Boulware, whose team was 4-4 overall and 3-0 in the OCC-Central before playing Westland on April 13. “With the way the schedule’s set up, you’re going to get a true champion.” Kilbourne’s top two returning starters — seniors Alio Gasbarro and Cody Strayer — earned victories in the team’s first two league games. Gasbarro pitched in a 12-7 win over Hilliard Darby on April 6 and Strayer pitched in an 8-3 win

TRACK Continued from page C1 “I like being the anchor leg because the guys look to me to make up ground with my speed and improve our place.” In the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches state indoor championships on March 19 at the University of Akron, Kyeremeh was a member of two all-state relays. The 800 relay of Austin, senior Lukas Cameron, Girgis and Kyeremeh was fourth (1:31.17). Austin, Kyeremeh and Maetzold joined senior Ryan McFarland to finish third (3:26.36) in the 1,600 relay. “I can’t say enough about how hard of a worker Nana is,”
together and really found our identity,” catcher Brandon Randolph said. “We knew we had to come back and start the league and we had to put those losses behind us, so I think it was a good experience.” Through eight games, Randolph was batting .400 with two doubles and three RBI, and Jeremy Patterson (.385, 1 triple, 2 RBI), Brian Hoskins (.375, 1 double, 5 RBI), Brian Hanks (.353, 3 RBI), Gasbarro (.348, 1 triple, 3 RBI), Niggemeyer (.333, 1 double, 3 RBI) and Cody Strayer (.313, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 7 RBI) were hitting better than .300. “With 12 seniors, we’re going to hit the ball and I think the way we did it in our first three league games is going to give us some momentum,” Randolph said. Boulware is looking for Patterson and Hanks to get on base for the hitters in the middle of the lineup. “When we got back here, I think we were ready to go,” Boulware said. “We really need to work on our situational hitting. We’re not breaking through with that big inning, but I think our lineup has the pieces to do that.”
of the burden off Alio and Cody. And if we can stick to that plan, I think we’ll keep our guys fresh going into the (Division I district) tournament.” The three OCC wins followed three consecutive losses during a trip to Murfreesboro, Tenn., on April 1-2. The Wolves were outscored 23-5 in those losses, which came against what Boulware called quality opponents. “I think that trip was important for the team because we came www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

The 1,600 relay of Bah, senior Madison Murphy, Austin and Kyeremeh was 10th (3:22.35). “You learn a lot from being at the state meet,” Kyeremeh said. “We were nervous because we were running in front of that many people and by being in such a big environment.

Although the Thomas Worthington High School softball team began the season with a 125 win over Dublin Coffman on March 28, coach Tom Gianas said it feels like he is still waiting for opening day. Thomas also lost to Central Crossing 6-0 on March 30 and defeated Watterson 8-3 on March 31 before leaving for Myrtle Beach, S.C., and four games in the Ripken Experience. “We played a couple games and then because of the trip we took, this is like a kickoff week for us,” Gianas said. “This is the part of the season when we’re going to start playing every day, and we’re going to have to be ready to play every day.” Gianas had a favorable review of his team’s performance in South Carolina. Thomas won each of its four games rather easily. The closest contest was a 40 win over Richmond (Ky.) Madison Central on April 5. Thomas had beaten Madison Central 101 earlier on the trip. The Cardinals also beat Oyster Bay (N.Y.) St. Dominic 10-0 in six innings on April 2 and Corbin (Ky.) 7-1 on April 4. Shortstop Kim Hoerauf was 8-for-8 on the final two days of play, Gianas said. “The competition wasn’t extremely strong, but we played pretty well,” he said. “I hesitate to get too optimistic, but the attitude seems to be pretty good and our seniors seem to be doing a good job leading.” With the schedule expected to pick up with leagues games against Kilbourne on Monday, April 18, and Upper Arlington on Wednesday, April 20, the Cardinals used the time in South Carolina to solidify positions among the starters. Gianas also was able to give reserves more playing time than might be possible the rest of the season. “We did really well on the field (in South Carolina),” pitcher Sally Nichols said. “I think a big goal for us was the social aspect and bonding and getting to work together as a team. (A goal) was also giving everyone a chance to get some playing time.” After returning, the Cardinals had a voluntary practice on April 10 that everyone attended. Gianas said that was indicative of the team’s mindset. “They all came and all their heads are on straight,” he said. “I think mentally we’re together. Time will tell.” The Cardinals can look to last season as a reason to have guarded optimism. They started 10-4 before faltering down the stretch to finish 14-12. The season ended with a 13-5 loss to Pickerington Central in the second round of the Division I district tournament.

Nichols said to keep that from happening again, the Cardinals must prove they can fight through adverse situations. “Last year we were a young team,” Nichols said. “Hopefully now we can mentally keep ourselves in the game and stay mentally sharp.” •WORTHINGTON CLASSIC — Thomas and Kilbourne will compete in the Worthington Classic on Saturday, April 16, at McCord Park. The event is in its ninth year and, for the second consecutive season, Kilbourne and Thomas will not face each other. Instead, both teams will play a doubleheader against Westerville Central and Sparta Highland. Highland and Westerville South were part of the Worthington Classic last season. Thomas lost to Highland 6-0 after beating South 1-0. Kilbourne lost 3-0 to both South and Highland. Three days after the Worthington Classic last year, Kilbourne and Thomas opened their season series at Thomas. The Cardinals won 4-3 and 10-7 in 10 innings last year. Kilbourne hasn’t beaten Thomas since doing so 93 at the Worthington Classic in 2004. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Plenty of questions surround OCC-Central From staff reports Below are capsule looks at OCC-Central Division football teams. To read full offseason stories, including comments from all coaches, for each team as well as all teams throughout central Ohio over the coming weeks, visit the Spring Football Edition of Friday Night Live at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
Central Crossing •Coach: Chris Harr, second season •2010 record: 2-8 overall, 1-6 (seventh) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking:27th in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: As the Comets go through their first complete offseason under coach Chris Harr, enthusiasm likely never has been higher. Before Harr was hired last April 22, the Comets didn’t have a structured weight-room program. After last season’s struggles, it wasn’t necessarily the losing record that Harr wanted to change — it was his team’s physical stature. Since the Comets didn’t play in 2009 because of a school-district levy failure, many of the team’s regular players last season were in middle school the last time they played organized football. The Comets’ starting quarterback was sophomore Tory Clark. Former Ohio State and Dallas Cowboys running back Jamar Martin is in charge of the Comets’offseason strength and conditioning program. As he handles that, Harr is working to bring two more coaches on staff. The Comets are in need of a freshman team coach and they also are looking to add another offensive coach.
Dublin Coffman •Coach: Mark Crabtree, 11th season •2010 record: 8-3 overall, 6-1 (second) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: Fifth in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: Followers of central Ohio high school football likely will be watching with curiosity to see what the area’s finest quarterback factory will produce next. Since Mark Crabtree took over as Coff-
man’s coach in 2001, the list of signal callers the program has generated includes former Notre Dame standout and current Denver Broncos backup Brady Quinn as well as college recruits such as Jack Rafferty (Otterbein) and Zack Stoudt (Mississippi). Senior Cole Stoudt, who started most of the past three seasons, was the latest to sign to play collegiately when he committed to Clemson in February. While Cole Stoudt might have been the most obvious loss for a Coffman team that went 8-3 overall last fall, it isn’t a mystery to Crabtree who will be team’s next quarterback. Coffman will be losing 33 players to graduation. With the quarterback vacancy already appearing to be filled by sophomore James Walsh, finding replacements for some of the other key positions is the Shamrocks’ biggest offseason project.
Hilliard Darby •Coach: John Santagata, third season •2010 record: 8-3 overall, 5-2 (third) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: Sixth in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: This offseason, the Panthers are in the process of trying to find suitable replacements for seven seniors who started in their spread option offense, including quarterback Matt Allen and four linemen, and four seniors who started on defense. While coach John Santagata acknowledges that there are some big holes in the lineup, he said his top priority is replacing the leadership that his 15 seniors provided last season, when the Panthers qualified for the playoffs for the second time in program history. Thirty days after the season ended with a 22-7 loss to Springfield in the first round of the Region 3 playoffs on Nov. 6, the Panthers began lifting weights and working on their conditioning for next season. Santagata said the number of players who show up to those training sessions is sometimes pretty small because so many of his athletes are involved in winter and spring sports, but he doesn’t mind the low turnouts as long as his players
’09, five OCC titles and four regional championships. Last season, the Wildcats went 13-1 and lost to Huber Heights Wayne 28-14 in a state semifinal. Once the mandatory 30-day rest period after each season is complete, White said his players return to the weight room and their focus remains on lifting weights for most of the offseason. Although players must adhere to that 30-day rest period, White said the coaching staff remains busy during that month, attending clinics and contacting collegiate coaches in an attempt to secure scholarships for players. While several programs participate in 7-on-7 drills during the summer, White said his program puts little emphasis on such drills since they stress more of a passing offense. The Wildcats’ offense centers on the ground game. Davidson loses 18 seniors, including four of its five starters on the offensive line. Davidson expects to return two key players in its backfield in running backs Alex Mickley and Tyler Talbott. Mickley led the team with 1,538 yards rushing and 29 touchdowns last season. Key players expected to return on defense include back Chase Delande, linebackers Jake Himmeger and Jack Kincade and linemen Sam Coles and Dylan Skaggs.
It almost has become a rite of passage in recent years for either the Dublin Coffman or Hilliard Davidson high school football teams to still be pla ying during the third week of November. For the other six teams competing in the current alignment of the OCC-Central Division, the annual talent and success that those two programs ha ve boasted has left for some rough Friday nights. In this installment, we're examining what Davidson and Coffman are doing to stay on top, and what the OCC-Central's other squads are doing to move up in the standings. What can the Wildcats do for an encore after winning state titles in 2006 and ’09 and being a state semifinalist last fall? Their task includes replacing six players from the 2010 graduating class who have committed to Division I colleges. Coffman will have a new quarterback next fall, but for several years the Shamrocks have shown a propensity to churn out players at that position. Can Hilliard Darby keep it going after having a bounce-back year last fall, or will a team that battled the injur y bug last year like Upper Arlington or Worthington Kilbourne be able to get back on track? For Central Crossing , Thomas Worthington and Westland, building programs that have struggled in recent years is a task that each is continuing to take on. Next week, we take a look at the teams in the OCC-Cardinal.
Upper Arlington
are staying physically active. With only 10 juniors in the program, Santagata is asking his sophomore class to help carry the leadership load.
Hilliard Davidson •Coach: Brian White, 13th season •2010 record: 13-1 overall, 7-0 (first) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking:Second in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: Wildcats coach Brian White realizes the success of his program relies on a year-round commitment. That commitment has led to Division I state championships in 2006 and
•Coach: Mike Golden, seventh season •2010 record: 6-4 overall, 4-3 (fourth) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 14th in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: The Golden Bears have missed the Division I playoffs the past two seasons, and that doesn’t sit well with coach Mike Golden. In fact, days after the conclusion of last season, he vowed that the Golden Bears wouldn’t miss the playoffs for a third year in a row, saying, “It’s not going to happen again.” Golden may have softened his stance to a degree on making the playoffs in 2011, but that doesn’t lessen the team’s desire to qualify for the postseason. UA finished 6-4 overall last season and placed 14th in Region 3. The top
eight teams made the playoffs. UA is losing 24 seniors, including 16 who started or saw significant playing time last fall. Among the key players expected to return are junior linebacker Eddie Miller and juniors Frank Epitropoulos (WR/DB/P), Ryan McSheffery (RB), Tyler Pfister (LB), Garrett Powers (DB), Jack Trabue (LB) and Francis Wilamosky (LB/FB). Developing linemen is one of UA’s chief priorities this offseason. The Bears are losing four of five starters on the offensive line and four of their top seven players who saw action on the defensive line. Though much of UA’s offseason centers around getting players into the weight room, the Bears will participate in 7-on7 and linemen camps in July as part of the 10 offseason contact days allowed between the coaching staff and players.
Westland •Coach: Steve White, first season •2010 record: 1-9 overall, 0-7 (eighth) in OCC-Central Division •Final 2010 computer ranking: 28th in Division I, Region 3 •Outlook: Steve White’s first objective as Cougars coach is to make the program more competitive. White, the team’s linebackers coach last season, was promoted in January to replace Brian Smith. Under Smith, the Cougars were 2-28 overall and 0-19 in the OCC-Central in three seasons. With no head coach in place late last year, assistants helped run the conditioning program once the 30-day rest period ended in December. When White was promoted in January, the offseason program intensified. The offseason conditioning program includes weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises and aerobic training. Coaches are allowed 10 days of contact with their players during the offseason. White said his program uses eight of those days for summer camp. The other two are utilized to participate in area 7-on-7 passing leagues. Leading the returning group should be quarterback Korey Browning and linemen Zach Hall, Kyle Maxwell, Junior Reyes and Brady Willis.
WOLVES Continued from page C1 Miller enters summer drills as the No. 1 quarterback after completing 11 of 17 passes for 146 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. Wylly is expected to return at defensive back after finishing second on the team with 56 tackles and first with two interceptions. Trombetti hopes that the experience his underclassmen gained last fall will help compensate for the school’s shrinking enrollment. “I think there’s a good chance that we could be in Division II in 2012,” he said. “One thing we’ve talked about for a long time is that we want to two-platoon, but we’re down to about 60 or 70 out for football.”

Danko, Thomas ready for Hannigan grind By PAUL BATTERSON
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Senior goalkeeper Jenny Danko is trying not to think about what awaits the Thomas Worthington High School girls lacrosse team this week. The Cardinals, who were 3-2 overall before playing Worthington Kilbourne on April 12, will play three games in less than 24 hours in their annual Hannigan-Galipault tournament. Thomas plays Lake Forest (Ill.) at 6 p.m. Friday, April 15. Then on Saturday, April 16, the Cardinals play Lombard (Ill.) Montini Catholic at 9 a.m. and Louisville (Ky.) Collegiate at 11 a.m. “It is a big deal,” Danko said. “It’s the biggest tournament in the Midwest. So many teams come in (from across Ohio, Illinois and Pennsylvania). It’s just a fun day of lacrosse. “But I haven’t thought about it, too. I just go one day at a time. I just focus on the next practice. If you try to focus on something too far in advance, you get too nervous beforehand.” The Hannigan-Galipault tournament can be an intimidating venue. The event, considered one of the largest lacrosse tournaments in the country, will feature nearly 60 games from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 16. The tournament started off as a boys tournament in 1979 but switched to girls teams in 1985. It is named after former boys and girls coach John Galipault Sr. and Chrissy Hannigan. Galipault, who died of a heart attack in January 1992, started the boys programs at Worthington and Dublin high schools and coached the Ohio Wesleyan University men’s team from 198082, before starting the Worthington girls team in 1985. Hannigan was a lacrosse player at Worthington who died in an allterrain vehicle accident. “All of the girls are well aware

of the rich tradition we have of being the oldest lacrosse program in the state,” Thomas coach Ally McCarthy said. “Having this tournament every year and bringing in such a large number of teams gives the girls a sense of pride in this tournament.” Over the past six years, the
Cardinals have compiled an 112 record in the Hannigan-Galipault tournament. McCarthy said her team often feeds off adrenaline in order to get through the demanding slate of games. “They’re geared up the whole week of preparing for the tournament,” McCarthy said.

The Cardinals’ Sam Kuehnl (left) sends the ball past Upper Arlington’s Abby Stricharczuk on April 5. Thomas lost 13-9.
“They’re very excited and proud to be hosting this tournament. That energy carries over into the tournament and they get it done.” How well the Cardinals fare in this year’s tournament could come down to their defense. In their first three games this season, they allowed 37 goals against opponents that had a combined record of 5-4 as of April 8. Danko figures to be in the crosshairs of many opponents in the Hannigan-Galipault tournament as well as the other remaining games. The senior, who has committed to the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Ga., was named the top goalie in the Midwest by ESPN Rise on Feb. 17. The honor caught Danko off guard. “I was upstairs and my parents (Pam and Norm Danko) said, ‘Get down here,’” Danko said.
“When I came down stairs, they said, ‘Look what ESPN said about you.’ It was a shock. “My mom says it’s like a target on your back. It makes teams question the shots they’re going to take.” To get ready for the season, Danko practiced taking shots from anyone who’d play against her. When she wasn’t playing with her club team, the Midwestern Force, she would try to find pickup games. “I know some of the seniors on the guys team and I’ll text them to see if they want to play at Galipault field,” Danko said. “It makes it a lot easier when you see some of the girls shots because they’re just winging it at you.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

OHSAA votes down spring football practice Girls soccer expanding to three divisions next season By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The OHSAA sparked emotion in more than one direction April 7 when it denied a proposal from the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association to allow a two-week period of skill instruction in May. According to the official OHSFCA release that has been posted online by several news outlets, including JJHuddle.com, the proposal asked for two weeks of football instruction during the final two weeks of May. The timeframe for the workouts would have been a maximum of 10 hours and would not have exceeded more than two hours per workout. Also as part of the proposal, athletes participating in an OHSAA spring sport would have been required to complete
their season before participating in the football workouts. For spring sport coaches such as A.J. Auld of the Dublin Jerome High School boys lacrosse program, the OHSAA’s unanimous rejection relieves the continuing pressure for prep athletes to specialize. “I encourage my guys to be multisport athletes because it’s good for a number of reasons,” Auld said. “I know the OHSAA promotes all sports and not just football. If they approved this, why would they just allow one sport to be able to do that? Why wouldn’t they allow basketball to do it? I have a good relationship with the football coach at Jerome, and us sharing players has been mutually beneficial. I know I can’t simulate the intensity (during a practice) that one of my players can have going up against one of their rivals on a Friday night, and the same is true in the other direction.” For others such as Brookhaven’s Steve Ayers, the OHSAA’s decision to deny the proposal was “kind of disappointing.” In its official release, the OHSAA cited “concerns over the impact it would have on other spring sports, as well as the requests that would come from
other sports.” The OHSAA indicated, however, that it is examining the possibility of expanding the 10 days of coaching currently permitted over the summer in all team sports. Some of the nation’s most recruited football states, including California, Florida and Texas, are among those that have some format that includes spring football practice. “We really don’t get that many days in the summer,” said Ayers, who is an assistant football coach with the Bearcats and the school’s head coach for wrestling and boys track and field. “Down south they all have spring football, and as a state it kind of puts us behind. It seems like another thing to hold us back. We kind of felt good that they were thinking about it. When coaches collaborate, they can work it out.” Among the reasons the OHSFCA created the proposal was a concern regarding AAU flag football programs and their influence on OHSAA-sponsored football. In addition, it cited a lack of opportunity for Ohio high school football players to display their skills to college coaches during the May recruit-
ing period. “I know a lot of people might be against it, but obviously I’m a football coach and I’m also a football fan,” Dublin Coffman football coach Mark Crabtree said. “Anything that can be done to promote the sport of football I’m in favor of doing. During the last two weeks of May, most of our players are doing absolutely nothing unless they’re competing in a regional tournament in their spring sport, and those are the kinds of athletes that we’d want to be competing at that time. “Football is the one sport that gets the short end of the stick because all of the other sports you can do year-round in some form. We’re limited the most, yet it’s the biggest sport with fans and them being fanatical about it.” •The OHSAA voted 6-3 to approve a proposal from the soccer coaches association to expand the girls soccer state tournament from two divisions to three beginning this fall. Girls soccer surpassed the 501-team benchmark during 2010. Twenty-three teams from the Central District competed in Division II last fall, producing one district champion. Although the OHSAA has not an-
nounced breakdowns by division, teams such as Worthington Christian (116 girls) and Wellington (77 girls) likely would be among those that would drop to Division III. Worthington Christian was seeded third for the district tournament and Wellington was seeded eighth last fall. “That gives us a better chance once we get into the tournament,” Worthington Christian athletics director Kevin Weakley said of his team’s likely drop. “The challenge in Division II is that there are a lot bigger schools than us in it like Bexley and Hartley. When we made the jump to Division III with the boys, it helped us significantly.” Another effect of the increase in divisions is that schools such as DeSales and Watterson as well as some Columbus City Schools would drop from Division I to II. DeSales and Watterson have been perennial powers in boys soccer while competing in Division II, but neither school got past the district semifinal round while competing in Division I in girls soccer last fall. julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
CARDINALS Continued from page C1 games with a separated shoulder before returning with a 222-yard performance in a 34-27 win over Westland on Oct. 8. The Cardinals won two of their four games with Monfort in the lineup. “He’s so talented,” Gordon said of Monfort, who has verbally committed to play lacrosse at Bucknell but is attracting interest from college football coaches. “If he stays healthy and has the kind of success that he can, that puts us in a good position. He runs the ball with such great vision and is one of those players who brings everybody else to a different level.” The biggest question mark this offseason for the Cardinals is at quarterback. Gordon said as many as nine players will compete to
replace senior John Chadwell, including Scott Brown, Austin Kaiser and Jeremy Nicklos. Most of the offensive line appears to be set heading into twoa-days in August. The expected starters are Will Spernoga (6-foot4, 265 pounds) at left tackle, Michael Allison at left guard,
Brooks Gilmore (6-1, 260) at right guard and Jonathon Highley at right tackle (6-0, 275). Gordon said Matt Johns, who started at middle linebacker last season, could take over at center. Nick Sharick (6-4, 250), who missed significant time the past two seasons because of injury, is

expected to play tight end, and Kyeremeh and Eric Sutton are expected to be the primary receivers. On defense, Highley is expected to start at nose tackle, in front of linebackers Johns and Adam Norris. Expected to see time in the secondary with Kyeremeh are Kaiser,
Nicklos, Ryan Gabel and Alex Rentz. Gordon likes the work ethic his players have shown this offseason and believes the fact that all but 15 expected returnees are playing a spring sport will benefit his program. “We’re trying to run a football
program 365 days a year,” he said. “We share so many athletes — it’s great. Whether it be working in the weight room or preparing to play at the next level, our guys have definitely shown a strong commitment.” www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
