“Hi, baby,” Alexis Miller said as she walked into the classroom in her United States Navy uniform. “Mommy!” cried 7year-old Machiah Miller, who hadn’t seen his mother since last year. Machiah ran into his mother’s arms and hugged her. Alexis picked Machiah up, his face buried into her shoulder. “Now I’m breaking down,” Alexis said. “At first, I tried to play it cool, but as soon as I saw him, of course I just melted.” “Boys and girls, we have a special visitor,” Linda Vertal told her second-graders at Scioto Darby Elementary School just
as the school day of May 26 drew to a close before the Memorial Day weekend. “Machiah’s mom has returned from overseas in serving our country. Let’s give her a hand for all the hard work she’s done for us.” The children burst into applause, and one boy persistently asked Alexis, “Did you help kill Osama (bin Laden)?” “How about some cupcakes?” the Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class replied. Machiah’s godparents, Hilliard residents KaTanya and Eugene Ingram, passed out vanilla and chocolate cupcakes topped with plastic Spiderman rings to the students, but only after they had washed United States Navy Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Alexis Miller hugs her son, Machiah, after surprising him in

Hilliard Relay For Life slated for June 11-12 By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
It started in 1985 with one man raising $27,000 to fight cancer by walking around a track for 24 hours in Tacoma, Wash. Now Relay For Life is the world’s largest fundraiser, according to the Amer-
ican Cancer Society. The Relay For Life of Hilliard will take place from 2 p.m. June 11 to 8 a.m. June 12 at Hilliard Davidson High School, 5100 Davidson Road. Registration can be made at the event for $10. Participants are encouraged to raise $250 or more if possible. As of May 26, there were 18
teams, 124 participants and $6,805 raised for the Relay of Life of Hilliard. The event has come a long way in the 26 years since Dr. Gordy Klatt took that first step. According to the society, more than 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities in the United States and in 19 other countries participate in the Relay.
The event has some established traditions, too. The Relay starts with a Survivors Lap to celebrate individuals’ victories over cancer. After dark, there’s a Luminaria Ceremony to recognize those lost to the disease, and participants walk a lap in silence. There’s also a Fight Back Ceremony.
Carrie Nichols, income development representative for the ACS, said the Hilliard Relay brings in 150-200 volunteers, and many of the participants are from Hilliard. Each team will have at least one representative on the track all See RELAY, page A2
Pushcart vendors OK’d by council Hilliard-Rome Road By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Sometime this summer, pushcart vendors selling food and beverages could be a common sight in Hilliard. Hilliard City Council unanimously approved an ordinance at its May 23 meeting to regulate and permit pushcarts and pushcart vendors at certain locations and hours. Pushcarts are human-powered carts with two wheels, and measure 4 feet wide, 9 feet
long and 6.5 feet tall, with a 10-gallon litter container attached and an optional umbrella. The pushcarts would sell only prepackaged or pre-prepared food and beverages, said Tracy Bradford, assistant law director. Vendors would not cook from the cart. The food items must be prepared in a commissary licensed by the Franklin County Board of Health. Applicants must be 18 or older, have proof of insurance, and an agreement with See PUSHCART, page A2

So we’re gonna let him go back to be with his mom. Thank you for being nice to him.� “Wait a minute, you still have four days of school,� principal Kayla Pinnick jokingly said. “He’s been fantastic,� Pinnick said of Machiah. “He’s adjusted well.

I love him to death.� Machiah, smiling ear to ear, showed his mom his Reebok Spiderman sneakers. “I told you I’d see you by June 1, and I’m a couple days early,� Alexis Miller told her son. Machiah knew his mom was in the United States, debriefing from her deployment, and he’d call her at least three or four times a day. “God forbid if I don’t answer that phone,� Alexis said. “If he could text, he would text me.�
While she was helping protect the health of Marines in Pakistan (in flood- relief efforts), Spain, Italy, Seychelles and Djibouti, Alexis would email her son and call him at 1:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on weekends. Machiah would write letters, which KaTanya sent to Alexis as electronic PDF files, to help bridge the distance between them. Machiah would pass the time away from his mom by playing video games, watching TV, playing soccer, and hanging out with Eugene and KaTanya Ingram’s two sons. “It’s just like having a little brother. He livens things up,� Eugene said of Machiah. The Ingrams met Alexis Miller in church at the Naval Station Great Lakes near North Chicago, Illi., while Eugene was also in the Navy. Miller was preg-

You have your moments of loneliness, exhaustion. It symbolizes that the sun does set, but the sun also rises every day.� The theme for this year’s Hilliard Relay is “Carnival for a Cure,� with carnival activities planned. Volunteers are needed to donate their hair for wigs for women affected by hair loss. On the track, there will be raffles during gift card fundraiser laps; hula laps with participants wearing Hawaiian garb, pride challenge laps for fans of the three Hilliard high schools, Ohio’s professional baseball and football teams (as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers), a backwards lap, OSU, “God Bless the U.S.A.� and pajamas laps. “It brings together people from different walks of life,� Nichols said. “It’s wonderful to see survivors be honored the way that they are and their caregivers as well. That’s something that makes the Relay For Life unique from other cancer-related fundraisers is that we really do pay special attention to caregivers as well.� gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

I said I need a lot, and she wrote a whole list of stuff down. She’s been an overwhelming amount of help since the day I met her. Without them and of course, my parents, I probably wouldn’t be a (military) lifer.� KaTanya was there when Machiah was born, and for the last 15 months, cared for him just as Alexis would.
“It was bittersweet when she said she was coming back,� KaTanya said of Alexis. “My first selfish reaction was, are you sure? He could stay the summer, you know. But I understand her excitement as well.� Alexis and Machiah Miller will be stationed at Camp Lejeune, in Alexis’home state of North Carolina, for the next 18 months. If she gets deployed again, Machiah could be returning to Hilliard. Mother and son have reconnected by making dinners together and watching movies, especially the ones with action heroes from the comic books. The first film the Millers were going to see was “Thor.� But that’s not the only hero Machiah looks up to. “I’m proud of her,� Machiah said of his mom. “She’s my No. 1 hero.�
a licensed food service where the vendor will prepare or pick up the food daily. The vendors will also have to pass a background check. The application fee is $100, and permits must be renewed annually. The vendors can’t shout out to potential customers, and they must keep their carts clean and attended. The pushcarts would not operate during special events unless they had a permit from the event organizer, Bradford said.
By the end of June, there will be information about pushcarts on the city of Hilliard’s website (hilliardohio.gov) or the department of recreation and parks and an application for a permit. “We have been approached by individual pushcart vendors and local food cart folks about locating or being able to sell items from their establishments at various places, and we just thought it was time to codify the ability of having pushcarts in the city,� Bradford said. “It’s one of our efforts to be able to offer more serv-
ices that we’re not directly responsible for as a city.� Bradford said the pushcarts would be present in some of Hilliard’s parks, particularly the soccer fields. There are potential spots in Old Hilliard, too, but Bradford said the city wants to be sensitive to traffic congestion while the triangle project continues. The city’s safety director will make the final approval on locations. Hilliard has modeled its push-
cart code after the city of Columbus and other cities across the country. “Some cities can probably do a temporary use or some kind of special permit,� Bradford said. “We just decided if we codified it, it would be out there and we’ll get it known to the business community. That way, they can plan on it more in advance to apply on a yearly basis.� gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Project will connect divided Roberts Road sections By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The two separate sections of Roberts Road will be joined together upon the completion of a construction project at Alton & Darby Creek Road. “Right now there are two intersections of Alton Darby Creek Road and Roberts Road, one to the south and one to the north,” said Cornell Robertson, highway
engineer for the Franklin County Engineer’s Office, which is supervising the project. “We’re going to do away with the southern intersection.” The T-intersection on the southern portion of Roberts will be removed, and the northern section of Roberts will extend straight across Alton & Darby Creek Road and turn south into the other portion of Roberts. “That little curved intersection
that we’re going to create just west of Alton Darby Creek we found to be the best solution without impacting the property owners substantially,” said Greg Payne, spokesman for the engineer’s office. “It’ll be a lot safer when we combine the Roberts Road legs into one intersection on Alton Darby Creek Road, and it’ll handle the larger traffic volume that’s a result of the new Hilliard Bradley
Bieber look-alike robs Chase Bank on Scioto Darby Road A man described as a dirty-looking Justin Bieber robbed the Chase Bank at 6364 Scioto Darby Road May 25. According to local FBI spokesman Harry Trombitas, at 9:13 a.m. on May 25, the robber entered the bank, pulled out a pistol and told employees to get down. He threw a clear plastic bag over the counter and told employees to fill the bag or he would kill them. He then took the bag, which was filled with money, and ran out.
Surveillance photos show a white male in his early 20s, about 5’8” in height with a thin build and wearing a dark toboggan hat, ski mask and pants, a black T-shirt with the word Brooklyn on the front and white tennis shoes. One employee who saw the man outside the branch prior to the robbery described him as looking like Justin Bieber, only dirty. Anyone who has information on the robbery is asked to call the Hilliard Police Department at (614) 876-7321 or the FBI at (614) 865-2543.
High School out there on Walker Road,” Robertson said. According to the engineer’s office, improvements will include the widening and resurfacing of Alton & Darby Creek Road and Roberts Road to accommodate left turn lanes, constructing a threelane roadway, building a storm sewer system, water line, multiuse path and installing new traffic control signs and signals. A 30-day closure of the intersection will take place after the Fourth of July holiday to mid-August, Robertson said. Originally,
the closure was to take place in June after the end of the school year, but April’s heavy rains caused the loss of a lot of work days, Robertson said. During the closure, there will be a detour that follows Davis, Walker, Alton Darby, Renner and Spindler roads. “We would have used RomeHilliard Road as a detour route, but we don’t want to send folks into another construction project,” Robertson said. “It’ll be worth the pain once it’s all done,” he added.
If all goes well, the intersection will be reconstructed by the time school starts up again in late August. “It’s real important for us to get this road opened back up and done before school goes back into session, and the rains we’ve had are going to impact that,” Robertson said. “We’ll have to make up some work to meet that.” The $2.9 million project was funded by the Ohio Public Works Commission, city of Hilliard, Schottenstein Homes and Franklin County.

COTA alters routes during construction By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Due to road construction, the Central Ohio Transit Authority has made some changes to improve the reliability of its No. 57 Hilliard and No. 66 Hilliard/OSU routes. In early May, six stops on Tanglewood Park Boulevard were discontinued, and two new stops just past Tanglewood on Hilliard Rome Road have been added for both routes. According to COTA, the changes have been made due to construction on Hilliard-Rome Road between Roberts Road and Westchester Woods Boulevard and at Main Street and Hilliard-Rome Road, with times adjusted. “That’s quite a change because they’ve had to reroute it,” said COTA spokeswoman Beth Berkemer. “It’s not going down Tanglewood Park Boulevard hardly at all, it’s just looping around there at the corner (at the Renner Road
Park and Ride). That takes out six stops, and that’s quite a few on an express, because the point of an express line is to not have many stops, but to get people to and from downtown or a job source.” In addition on the No. 66 line, there will be four stops on and around West Woodruff Avenue temporarily discontinued, with stops added on College Road, Curl Drive and 17th Avenue at Tuttle Park Place. That’s due to Woodruff Avenue construction between College Road and Tuttle Park Place. COTA makes service changes three times a year – January, May and September — and its planning department constantly evaluates those changes, Berkemer said. Customer comments are taken into account, she said, and an example of that is that there may be service to the Mill Run area next year. “What they’re looking for in 2012 is extending either the No.
83 Oakland/Weber or No. 84 Arlington/OSU (both from Kingsdale Shopping Center) to Cemetery Road. They received the request, so they’re looking into it.” There are currently four Hilliard routes — No. 57 Hilliard Express; No. 66 Hilliard/OSU Express; No. 67 East Hilliard Express; and No. 68 Hilliard-Westbelt Express. With gas prices hitting $4 a gallon earlier in the spring, COTA is seeing a spike in ridership, Berkemer said, up 7.5-percent this year, and increases the last three years. Thanks to a levy passage in 2006, COTA is adding 40 new, fuel-efficient buses a year and expanding service, Berkemer said. “Even though the economy has been horrible, and a lot of transportation agencies nationally have been cutting routes and service areas, we are doing wonderful,” she said.

Health department monitoring early mosquito activity By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers The wet weather has brought mosquitoes with it, and the Franklin County Public Health Department has already begun its trapping for the season. “We have our first results, and what we’re seeing is some small numbers of the kind of mosquitoes that transmit the West Nile Virus, and we’ve seen that in most of the jurisdictions that we serve,” said Franklin County Health Commissioner Susan Tilgner. It’s typical to see those mosquitoes in the traps at this time of year, Tilgner said, but it’s too early to tell whether those mosquitoes have the virus. “What’s confusing the issue is we’re having a large number of the nuisance and the floodwater mosquitoes because of the rain, so that’s a different type of mosquito,” Tilgner said. Fortunately, those mosquitoes are not disease carriers, but they do bite both day and night. The mosquito traps are set once a week from mid-May to the end of September. The mosquitoes that are caught are classified and tested for the West Nile Virus. The new data and historical data, along with weather patterns, are taken into account before any spraying is done. By the end of last year’s mosquito season, the three sections that make up Hilliard were sprayed. In one case last season, one area of
Hilliard was not sprayed until late, even though a mosquito carrying the virus turned up early in the season (it was determined to be near the end of its life cycle). “There’s a lot of data that goes into that and then the expertise on top of that to say, is this a situation where spraying is actually going to help us reduce the risk?” Tilgner said. “If it is, we’re going to go ahead and do it, but if it isn’t, we don’t want to do it either. A lot of work goes into making sure we have good information to make those decisions.” Standing water and rising temperatures allows mosquito eggs to hatch and develop into adults more quickly. The Public Health Department takes preventive steps such as killing larvae with pesticides before resorting to spraying. “If we see them pop up with unusually high numbers, we might target that area for spraying,” Tilgner said. “Hopefully we don’t have to do that until later in the year, and hopefully we don’t have to do it very much.” The Franklin County Public Health Department is asking residents to report areas of standing water and when the mosquitoes are bad by calling their Bite Line at 614-525-2483 (BITE). “People are telling us the mosquitoes are out there,” Tilgner said. “Time will tell us what kind of a mosquito season we’ll actually have.” gbudzak@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNEWS.com

Are You Counting On Technology To Save You?
Commentary & opinion Columbus2020!
Central Ohio’s prospects for job growth are promising Pharmaceutical companies often are judged by their “pipeline” of future products. Their stock price could fluctuate on the value of this pipeline and the potential it has to drive future revenue. The Columbus2020! initiative also tracks its pipeline of potential projects, those competitive initiatives that could add jobs and investment in the Columbus region. A close analysis likely would warrant a “buy” recommendation if the Columbus region were selling shares of stock. The Columbus2020! initiative’s pipeline comprises companies that aren’t here yet but that are considering central Ohio for new facilities, as well as existing companies that are considering expansion locally and a host of new enterprises that are being developed through TechColumbus and at satellite entrepreneurial centers throughout the area. One thing is clear: The level of activity is up compared to the past several years, and our prospects for the future are bright. A closer look at the new companies looking at our region shows that 58 percent of the projects are small- to medium-size operations in the advanced-manufacturing sector; 28 percent are international companies considering the United States, and a framework for headquarters and back-office projects has the potential to create hundreds of jobs. Projects are being sourced from nearly every corner of the nation, and each international mission is creating qualified projects. The region’s technology incu-
bators and entrepreneurial centers are nearing capacity in Columbus, Dublin and New Albany, KENNY driven by marMCDONALD ket opportunities in the advanced-energy, advanced-materials, information-technology and medical-healthcare sectors. It is a testament to the efforts of state and local leaders that such operations exist to nurture these new enterprises that represent the future of central Ohio. As another indicator, in 2010 funding for local startups reached new heights as a record-setting
117 promising young companies received $307.56 million in innovation capital to fuel the growth of their businesses. This is a 73percent increase over 2009. TechColumbus has the entire report online at TechColumbus.org. The Columbus area has to compete to win these projects, and the companies have to execute on their plans for our potential to be realized, but the market potential is there. The Columbus region has a lot to feel good about: Its future prospects for job growth and investment look great. Kenny McDonald is chief economic officer for Columbus2020!

Hilliard-Rome Road widening under way Continued from page A1 Boulevard from two lanes in each direction to five lanes to match the rest of the busy commercial and residential road. “We do one side of the road, move everybody over, and then we flip them over on the new and then do the other side,” Burton said. According to Paving the Way’s “2011 Glovebox Guide to Central Ohio Road Construction,” one lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction with weekend closures of side streets. In addition, bike lanes, sidewalks and drainage improvements will be made, Burton said. The city of Columbus acquired the real estate for the widening. Last winter, businesses and people were told about the project, and people signed up for emails on project updates, Burton said. Plus, there are message boards to remind motorists about the construction. “There’s been a lot of work” in the area in re-
cent years, Burton said. “We did some Roberts Road improvements last year. The city of Hilliard improved Hilliard-Rome Road, so that whole corridor is being improved. The positive is that people are accustomed to driving around orange barrels because of all the improvements that have happened.” Just because drivers are getting accustomed to the new traffic patterns as the project progresses, doesn’t mean they should be complacent in the construction zone. “I don’t think we could ever hear the drill too much,” Burton said. “People really need to be mindful that this is a construction site and there’s heavy equipment by staying alert and not driving distracted. It’s probably not the time to be eating, texting, dialing, adjusting your makeup or disciplining your child.” The $6.7-million project is expected to be completed next fall. However, Burton said, “The rain definitely did not help us – we can’t control that, as much as we wish we could.”

Commentary
Marshall, Gahanna ready for next step What a weekend for high school sports. Watterson’s Chris Diaz finished his second consecutive undefeated season with another Division II state singles title in boys tennis and the Upper Arlington doubles team of Stu Little and Billy Weldon won their second consecutive Division I championship. LARRY Worthington Kilbourne and LARSON Dublin Jerome won boys lacrosse regional titles. Grove City, Jonathan Alder, DeSales and Newark Catholic captured regional championships in baseball. The Reynoldsburg and Hartley girls track and field teams won regional titles, as did the Thomas Worthington, Westerville North and Columbus Academy boys teams. In softball, DeSales and Liberty Union captured regional championships, and so did Gahanna with a thrilling 4-3 win over an outstanding Central Crossing team. With a 19-10 record, Gahanna will play West Chester Lakota West in a state semifinal at 12:30 p.m. Friday, June 3, at Akron Firestone Stadium. The final is 4 p.m. Saturday, June 4. For senior standout Tiyona Marshall, it is a fitting end to her wonderful prep career. Marshall is Gahanna’s all-time leader in hits with 148. She is batting .488 this season (42-for-86), and her average with runners in scoring position is an impressive .648. “This definitely is a dream come true in my senior year and I am so excited to play in the state tournament,” said Marshall, a center fielder and third baseman who will play at Miami University next year. “We have come a long way this year. At one time we lost seven straight games and after that tough stretch we realized what we were doing wrong and worked unbelievably hard to correct our mistakes, and it has paid off. “Now we are all together as one and there is absolutely no individuality on this team, and when someone makes a mistake we all try to pick them up and the results are obvious. Our confidence is up and we are really hitting the ball well right now.” For veteran coach Jim Campolo, this is a return trip to state, where he guided the Lions to a Division I runner-up finish in 2003. He has high praise for his team. “I believe lots of people underestimated us because we lost a ton of players from last year’s regional finalist team,” he said. “The thing that has made this team special in my opinion is that we are loaded with speed and our opponents had better play good defense against us to stop what we like to do and, knock on wood, so far the other teams haven’t been able to do that.

Darby’s Julissa Poullet competes in the high jump during the Division I regional meet May 25 at Pickerington North. Poullet finished seventh with a mark of 4 feet, 10 inches. The top four in each event advanced to the state meet, which is Friday and Saturday, June 3-4, at Ohio State.
Track & Field
Darling makes Jaguars history By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Hilliard Bradley High School junior Sam Darling isn’t projected to fare very well in the 100 or 200 meters in the Division I state track and field meet on Friday and Saturday June 3-4, at Ohio State, based on his regional times. Still, Darling is the first member of his second-year program to qualify for state in an individual race, as only the top four finishers in each regional event advanced to state. In the regional meet that concluded May 27 at Pickerington North, Darling finished second in the 100 in 11.06 seconds, which tied for the ninth-fastest regional time of the 16 state qualifiers in
that event. He finished third at regional in the 200 (22.15), which was the 15th-fastest statequalifying time. But having won the 100 in a personal-record time of 10.89 in the Wildcat Premier on April 2 and the 200 in a personal-record time of 21.8 in the Panther Invitational on April 8, Darling is confident he can run fast enough at state to finish in the top eight in both events. “I was tired from running the 400 or I think I would have done better (at regional),” he said. “I was running faster times earlier in the season when I wasn’t running the 400, and I think I’m going to be a lot more fresh for those races at state since I won’t be running the 400 and I’ll have a lot more time in between
races there. “I’m also just coming back from some time off for (club) soccer and I’m not back to my best yet. My goals are to drop my (personal records) down even farther so I can make the podium in both races.” Darling also advanced to state with Terell Stanford, Richie Gopel and Eric Bridgett on the 1,600 relay, which placed second (3:22.51) behind Thomas Worthington (3:19.1). The 400 relay of Matthew Bryant, Stanford, Jeffie Johnson and Blake Scipio placed fourth (43.18) at regional and heads into state with the 12th-fastest qualifying time. “We did great (at regional), but I know we can do better than that,” said Dar-
ling, whose team scored 31 points at regional to place sixth behind co-champions Thomas Worthington (37) and Westerville North (37). “We’re all doing less events so we’ll be more fresh for state, and I think all four of us can drop some time and possibly reach the finals in the 1,600 relay.” Seven members of the Davidson boys team advanced to state. “Last year was the first year in the 24 years I’ve been here that we didn’t have any state qualifiers, so it feels good to make it back,” said coach Jim Smith, whose team scored 31 points at regional to place seventh. “There’s a lot of parity this year. Only seven points separatSee TRACK, page B4
Boys Volleyball
Panthers, Wildcats end seasons at state tourney By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
In putting together a strategy for Cincinnati Moeller, Hilliard Darby High School boys volleyball coach Bryan Webb knew that his team would need to come at the Crusaders with an aggressive serve in their Division I state semifinal on May 29 at Pickerington North. That was evident after the Panthers lost to Moeller, ranked first in the final state poll, in three games in the Centerville Elite Tournament on April 30. By Paul Vernon/ThisWeek “We knew we had to do that Darby’s Mason Print (left) soft spikes as Tommy Schultz watches to even be able to compete,” Webb said. “They still passed in a state quarterfinal against Cleveland St. Ignatius on May 28 well even when we got those See LARSON, page B3 at Pickerington North. The Panthers won 25-8, 25-12, 25-12.
serves in. They’re just an outstanding passing team.” The strategy appeared to be working after Darby won the first game. But as the Panthers’ service errors added up, the Crusaders capitalized over the next three games and defeated Darby 12-25, 25-17, 25-16, 2521. The Panthers, who lost to eventual champion Cincinnati Elder in a state semifinal last season, finished 24-4 overall. Lakewood St. Edward defeated Moeller 20-25, 25-23, 21-25, 25-20, 17-15 in the state final. Darby defeated Cleveland St. Ignatius 25-8, 25-12, 25-12 in a state quarterfinal on May 28.
“Even though we played behind a lot of seniors last season, we just knew we could keep the tradition going,” said senior Trey Fanfulik, who was named second-team all-state. “We all played club and we knew we had the skills to keep the program on top.” The Panthers won their 11th consecutive OCC championship, going 10-0 in the OCCOhio Division to finish ahead of Hilliard Davidson (8-2), Dublin Coffman (5-5), Worthington Kilbourne (5-5), Upper Arlington (2-8) and Thomas Worthington (0-10).

Lacrosse
Darby girls progress, but will lose Culley By SCOTT HENNEN
At a glance
ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Johnny Ulry has coached the Hilliard Darby High School girls lacrosse program for two seasons and already sees his team making major strides. The Panthers finished 6-11 overall after losing to Mason 19-4 in the second round of the Division I South/Central Region tournament on May 18. The Panthers beat Pickerington Central 182 on May 16 in the first round. “When you have a team that (has) six starters who never, ever played lax before, from day one to the last day it’s amazing how much better these girls have gotten,” Ulry said. “In the 17 games we played, 12 (of the opponents) were ranked in the state’s top 20. Despite that, we were in a lot of games or even winning at halftime, but we didn’t have the experience needed to win.” Darby was sixth (0-5) in the OCCBuckeye Division behind New Albany (5-0), Upper Arlington (4-1), Thomas Worthington (3-2), Worthington Kilbourne (2-3) and Dublin Coffman (1-4). The Panthers relied on senior midfielder Korinne Culley, who scored 112 goals this season. “We’re checking with the state commissioner to see if that is a state record,” Ulry said of the goal total of Culley, who has signed with Division II Grand Valley State in Allendale, Mich. “Korrine was just an incredible player and an incredible leader for us.” In addition to Culley, the Panthers lose seniors Denise Allen (defense), Riley Bennington (attack) and Tori Blatt (attack). “These seniors have set the foundation of where this team is going and have set the bar high,” Ulry said. “When I came here as a new coach, they bought into what we were trying to do and they

They have left the younger players with high expectations.” Among those expected to return are juniors Nettie Benjamin (defense), Jessica Rice (attack) and Anna Schaefer (defense), sophomore Becca Heicher (defense) and freshman Deja Scott (defense). •The Bradley girls team lost to Columbus Academy 16-6 in the second round of the Division II South/Central Region tournament on May 19 to finish 7-10 overall. The Jaguars beat DeSales 13-8 in the opening round on May 16. Bradley tied Dublin Jerome for fifth (2-4) in the OCC-Ohio behind Olentangy (6-0), Olentangy Liberty (3-2), Olentangy Orange (3-2) and Davidson (3-3) and ahead of Dublin Scioto (1-5).

said coach Becky Mottlow, who completed her second season leading the program. “We have covered the big ideas and we still have another season to fine tune things. We only have three seniors.” Two of the three seniors — Karianne Hollerud (defense) of Norway and Sana Viadya (defense) of India — were exchange students. The other senior, Lauren Biller (attacker/midfield), was a twoyear letterwinner. Expected to return are juniors Rachel Baileys (attack), Caitlyn Cote (defense), Rachel Dicken (attack), Sara Holloway (defense), Marianne Ickes (attack), Amber Pharazyn (defense), Alex Schell (goalie), Sydney VanHoose (midfield/defense) and Makayla Vidosh (defense) and sophomores Amanda Capriato (goalkeeper), Kwynn Herr (midfield), Hannah Jasper (attack), Paige McKenzie (defense), MacKenzie Mignery (midfield), Sam Minnich (defense), Jessica Rains (midfield), Mariah Sayre (midfield), Kirsten Tindal (midfield) and Nicole Tindal (attack).
•The Bradley boys team finished 108 overall after a 15-3 loss to Jerome in the second round of the Division II Central Region tournament on May 26. The game started May 25 but was suspended because of bad weather with Jerome leading 10-2 in the third quarter. Bradley, which finished 3-14 last year, posted its first winning season and its first 10-win season. The Jaguars also won the Hilliard Cup by beating Darby 7-6 on April 15 and Davidson 9-7 on May 6, marking their first victories over both. “These players played well and got better as the season went along,” said coach Dom Marzano, who completed his second season leading the program. “We even had an eight-quarter scoreless (defensive) streak with the second half against Westerville South (7-6 loss on May 13), a (8-0) shutout of Big Walnut (club team) on May 16 and in the first half against Watterson (10-5 win on May 20).” The Jaguars finished fifth (2-4) in the OCC-Ohio behind Liberty (5-0), Olentangy (5-1), New Albany (4-2) and Darby (2-3) and ahead of Gahanna (1-5) and Orange (1-5). Darby and Liberty will not make up their league game.

Locke (midfield), Taylor Mummert (attack), Nick Petikas (attack), Frankie Riffe (midfield), Nick Sparks (attack), Connor Stephens (defense) and Drew Weber (defense). Barton and Riffe made second-team all-league. “We had a lot of hard-working seniors who set the bar for the program,” Marzano said. “They learned how to win and that was important for us.” Among those expected to return are juniors Stephen Breen (midfield), Alec
Gossard (attack), Jalen Jackson (midfield), Austin Johnston (long-stick midfielder), Logan Muether (goalkeeper), Brian Starbuck (goalkeeper) and Eric Warner (midfield) and sophomore Cody Planck (defense). Johnston made first-team all-league and Muether was honorable mention. •The Davidson boys team finished 10-9 overall after losing to Cincinnati St. Xavier 17-7 in the second round of the Division I South/Central Region tournament on May 25.

LARSON Continued from page B1 “Since our team was in the state championship tournament eight years ago I have been trying to get us back to that level. We have definitely had some teams during these past eight years that were capable of reaching the final four, but we always seemed to make a few mistakes that prevented us from going. This year we have just laid it on the line. “We have gotten ahead in many of our games and just hung on. These kids have great heart and never quit. I told all of them recently that I don’t care how many times you go to the regional tournament or the state championship tournament, it is going to always be new and exciting, and it will be one of the best things you can do in sports as an athlete.” Reflecting on her team and on her softball career at Gahanna, Marshall said, “I totally agree with coach Campolo that our main strength is our quickness. Our top seven batters are really fast and that speed not only helps when we run the bases, it also helps cover ground in the field, which is a big boost for us.” For Campolo, Marshall and the rest of the Gahanna softball team, one goal has been reached as they have qualified for the state tournament. Winning is the next and the ultimate goal. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.

Among those expected to return are sophomores Jarrod Kelso, Zach Kuebler and Thane Fanfulik. “It’s tough right now, but overall we had a good time and a lot of fun,” Webb said. “Every kid was very coachable and I had a really fun time coaching.” •Davidson ended its season with a 25-17, 25-18, 17-25, 2516 loss to St. Edward in a state quarterfinal on May 28. The Wildcats finished 21-7 overall, marking their best record since winning the state championship in 1991. “Every one of our losses was to a team here at the state tournament,” said coach Jay Cauley, whose team had beaten St. Edward 21-25, 24-26, 25-18, 2522, 15-7 in the Centerville Elite Tournament. “Probably 14 to 15 of our matches were against teams that were top 10 in the state, so I think we accomplished a lot.” The Wildcats lose six seniors, including Jordan Zickafoose (first-team all-state and all-region), Craig Lantz (honorable mention all-state, second-team all-region), Eric Lantz (honorable mention all-region) and Jimmy Curtis (honorable mention all-region). “Jordan was very deserving of that honor,” Cauley said, referring to Zickafoose making first-team all-state. “He plays on the top club in the area and they made nationals.

Motley, Farah Abdi, Dametrius Clark and Jack Kincade placed fourth in the 1,600 relay (3:23.98), edging Pickerington North (3:24.17) for the final state berth. “I challenged Jack to run with heart and he did that to get us through to state,” Smith said. The 400 relay ran the 14th-fastest state-qualifying time and the 1,600 relay had the 16th-fastest state-qualifying time in their respective events. But Smith believes both relays are capable of dropping more time and improving on their seed. “If we can clean up our exchanges, both of them have a shot at dropping enough time to make it to the finals,” Smith said. The Darby boys team will be represented at state by Caleb Day, who placed fourth at regional in the 300 hurdles (39.73) to qualify for the state for the first time. He is seeded 15th at state. The Panthers scored 12 points at regional to finish 25th. •The Davidson girls team scored 46 points at regional to place third behind Reynoldsburg (88) and Dublin Coffman (66). Taylor Brown won the pole vault by clearing a program- and meetrecord 11 feet, 9 1/2 inches. She had the third-best state-qualifying height behind Medina’s Alex Wasik (12-1) and Jennifer Foster (12-0). “Taylor’s technique was good and she had a great day,” said Smith, who coaches Davidson’s pole vaulters. “Our goal for state is for Taylor to go 12 feet because it would give her a good

shot at it. The key is to not make any mistakes.” Jessica Hoover won the 1,600 (4:59.38) ahead of Pickerington North’s Kristen Eisenhauer (5:04.44) and won the 3,200 (11:05.36) ahead of Upper Arlington’s Dorry Jaffe (11:09.75). “I just wanted to take it out fast and stay in front,” Hoover said. “I was happy to run sub-five minutes (in the 1,600) and I was only a couple of seconds off my personal record. I really like both races and I’m going to try to run them both at state.” Last year at state, Hoover finished fourth in the 1,600 in a personalrecord 4:57.07 behind Rocky River Magnificat’s Madeline Chambers (4:47.37), Medina’s Anna Boyert (4:54.29) and Springboro’s Carly Hamilton (4:54.58). Hoover then finished sixth in the 3,200 (11:01.61) behind champion Michelle Thomas (10:46.59) of Cincinnati Glen Este.
Bradley’s Terell Stanford crosses the finish line in the 1,600-meter relay preliminary during the Division I regional meet May 25. The relay finished second in 3:22.51 in the final May 27 to qualify for state, which is Friday and Saturday, June 3-4, at Ohio State.
For state, Hoover is seeded seventh in the 1,600 and ninth in the 3,200. “I feel like I can drop more time, and my goal is to be a state champion in one of the races,” Hoover said. “I want to improve on my place on the podium in both races. It’s hard to tell what my chances are, but there’s no shame in shooting for the top.” Also at regional, Lauren Hoover, Elsa Saelens, Caroline Hildebrand and Jessica Hoover finished third in the 3,200 relay (9:26.52) and Hildebrand placed fourth in the 3,200 (11:16.56) to qualify for state in an individual race for the first time. Last year at state, the Hoover sisters helped the 3,200 relay place eighth (9:26.2). The 3,200 relay is seeded 15th and Hildebrand is seeded 14th at state. “I’m just so happy to make it to state (in the 3,200) because it was a tough race with people battling for position early,” Hildebrand said. “It’s
going to be hard at state, but I think our 3,200 relay can definitely make the podium because all four of us still have time to drop.” The Bradley girls team scored 13 points at regional to tie Gahanna and Marion Franklin for 16th. Kate Johnston, Emily Lebsock, Kayla Malik and Sydney Rings finished third in the 400 relay in a program-record 49.2 to become the first members of their team to qualify for state. The 400 relay is seeded 12th at state.
“Their handoffs were right on and all four ran well,” Jaguars coach Thom Nees said. “Being a second-year program, it is big to get someone through to state. Our relay has been getting faster and faster each week, and if we have good handoffs, I think we can keep it up.” The Darby girls team tied Northland (10) for 21st at regional and did not have any state qualifiers. ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

on May 15, as Sam Darling scored and A.J. Tresoline earned the shutout in goal. The Blast won a Regional Cup and finished fifth in the national tournament two years ago. “Our U-17 team winning this tournament was a big shock because we lost a lot of players over
the past few years and this is the weakest team on paper that we’ve had in three years,” Dawson said. “We beat the No. 1 seed (CUP Crew Juniors 3-2) in the semifinals and then beat the No. 2 seed in the finals. Sam Darling had two goals in the semifinal and scored against the Blast. But the key thing was our defense was phenomenal and turned in a gritty effort.” The Blast F.C. U-12 boys team beat Team Ohio F.C. 3-2 in a State Cup final on May 22 to win its second State Cup title in three years. In its four State Cup games, the Blast outscored its opponents 13-2. “This is a good group of kids who love to play together and have a lot of heart and passion for the game,” Blast F.C. director and coach Lesh Shkreli said. “They shocked everyone, including me, by playing with the energy that they played with. We had a 3-0 lead in the final until there was about eight minutes left, and then our kids got a little too excited and we let up a bit. But overall I’m very happy with the way we played.” Two area clubs captured their
first State Cup titles, as the GNA F.C. Revolution U-10 squad defeated Warren County United 87 on May 22 and the Classics Eagles U-13 team beat Crew Juniors 1-0 on penalty kicks on May 22. The Ohio Premier Eagles 2 U11 boys team beat Ohio Premier Eagles 1 7-4 in overtime in a State Cup final on May 22. The Ohio Premier Eagles club has won three boys State Cup championships in the past two years. “We had two really good boys teams at the U-11 age level and they played a great game in the final, which was a win-win situation for our club,” Ohio Premier Eagles director and coach Chris King said. Shkreli, who has guided at least one Blast team to a State Cup championship for seven consecutive years, said the dominant run for central Ohio’s boys teams could end at any time, but he’s enjoying it while it lasts. “There’s a lot of talent and good coaching in Columbus, but honestly, the teams from around the state beat each other in league play all year,” Shkreli said. “It just goes in cycles. Columbus teams did really well in the State
Cup this year, but the teams from Cincinnati and Dayton could win more State Cups next year. It’s youth soccer and kids are kids.” •Two central Ohio girls teams won State Cup titles this season. The Ohio Premier Eagles U13 squad beat Hammer F.C. Premier 2-1 in overtime in a final on May 22 and the Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 squad defeated the Blast F.C. 1-0 in a final on May 15. The Ohio Premier Eagles U13 team won its second consecutive State Cup title on Kristin McFarland’s goal in overtime. The Ohio Premier Eagles U16 team won its fourth State Cup title as Lindsey Agnew scored the winning goal against the Blast off an assist by Kaitlin Miller. Last year, the Ohio Premier Eagles lost to the Blast 1-0 on penalty kicks in a State Cup final. “Our U-16 team is very good and after we lost to the Blast last year, our focus was on taking back what was ours,” King said. “Lindsey Agnew had a couple of good scoring opportunities and our back line was very good.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
