While he’s excited about what the future may hold, Grandview Heights High School guidance counselor Joe Connors admits he has some mixed feelings about retiring. “It feels really good to retire, but it sure is tough to leave Grandview,” he said. “But I knew it was time to try something new. “I told (Superintendent Ed O’Reilly) in my letter I submitted to him that it’s been a distinct privilege and honor to work in this dis-
trict,” Connors said. “Grandview is an amazing place with wonderful students, teachers and community. I feel lucky to have spent the last 32 years here.” Connors retired earlier this month. After an initial stint teaching at Bishop Watterson High School, Connors came to Grandview in 1979, first as an occupational work adjustment teacher and, since 1985, working as a guidance counselor. But a career in education “happened purely as accident,” ConSee CONNORS, page A2

Jonathan Atwell of the Scholars Inn Bakehouse cycling team won the men’s pro race in a photo finish at the Tour de Grandview Cycling Classic June 26. Atwell was one of four riders who finished at virtually the same moment. A review of the video of the finish showed that Atwell just edged out Ryan Knapp of Team Panther for the victory. Knapp finished just ahead of Atwell for second place in the total points count for the weekend of racing that included two Cincinnati-area races on Friday and Saturday. The overall points winner was Clay Murfet of the RideClean p/b PatentIt.com Cycling Team. The women’s race was won by Jane Weakley of the Secret Cycling Team.

The girls race, ages 5-7, was as close as the men’s professional race, with 6year-old Norah Taylor and 7-year-old Sofia Sivilotti finishing in a tie for first place. Taylor said it was “amazing” to win, but said she was mainly “just out to have fun.” “I really like to ride my bike,” she said. “I ride almost every day.” Sivilotti said winning the race “was fun.” Although she wanted to win, “I mainly just wanted to have fun,” she said.

Parks & Rec offers something new for kids, adults By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Grandview Parks and Recreation Department will be offering some new programs this summer for both kids and adults. Youngsters ages 3-8 will be able to work on their balance, agility and coordination while beginning to build healthy habits at the JumpBunch “Fun in the Sun” camp.
The camp will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Aug. 1-6 in the McKinley Field Shelter. “JumpBunch is a private business that works with various parks departments around the area,” recreation supervisor Mike Patterson said. Campers will participate in such activities as Frisbee games, beach volleyball and relay races. “It’s a chance for young kids to work on developing skills like balance and coordination while participating in some
DIRECTORY
activities that are different than the usual things like baseball or basketball,” Patterson said. Participants should bring a snack and water bottle each day to camp. More information about JumpBunch Sports and Fitness for Kids is available at www.JumpBunch.com/camps. The cost for the camp is $94 for residents of Grandview and Marble Cliff and $112 for non-residents. Registration should be made with Grandview
Parks and Recreation, but checks should be made payable to JumpBunch. The Land and Water Challenge youth biathlon will allow youngsters to compete against each other in an event that will combine running and swimming. “We have such a good turnout for our Tiny Tot Pumpkin Trot and our swim team, that I thought we’d try to do something that combined running and swimming,” Patterson said. “It will be a true biathlon event.”

GHHS FIRST team takes robot to summer tournament By ALAN FROMAN

The Grandview Heights High School FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) team brought its robot out of retirement last weekend for one last battle. The team participated in the 2011 Connect a Million Minds Robotics Invitational at South High School in Columbus. “This is the first time we’ve had a chance to participate in a summer event,” team adviser Sue Godez said. “They had this event last year, but we weren’t able to participate because some of our students had scheduling conflicts.” With only three seniors who won’t be returning to next year’s GHHS FIRST team, the extra experience the summer tournament provided will help the students who will be back next year, Godez said. In addition to helping build better teamwork, the summer experience also “gives us a chance to observe some of the teams we may be competing against next year,” she said. Twenty teams from around Ohio and as far away as Indi-
ment. The squads competed in the Logo Motion game, which was the contest used for the 2010-11 FIRST national tournament. Teams earned points by how many plastic triangle, circle and square shapes their robots could hang on poles set up on the game field. Teams competed as alliances, facing off against other alliances. The competition also included an Autonomous Period in which the robots operated independently of driver inputs and scored extra points by hanging Ubertubes. “A huge highlight for us (was) that we were able to see our autonomous mode work,” Godez said. Grandview’s record at the tournament was 3-2, with the team winning its last three rounds of qualification matches. The team was selected as part of an alliance to go into the elimination matches, but lost both of those contests. GHHS team members Gen Ritz and Mary Kate Dempsey were asked to join the Independence High School/Walnut Ridge
it did not have enough students attend the competition. The team got into the finals and its alliance won the competition. Other Grandview students said it was fun to have a chance to put the robot they built through one more competition. “It worked pretty well for having just sat in a box for the past several months,” Kyle Modlich said. “It wasn’t too rusty,” Andy McCauley said. “It did work better in the practice round (Saturday) than in did in the early rounds” of competition. The team did not make any adjustments to the robot, having been satisfied with the machine and its performance in earlier FIRST competitions, Stephanie Lepsik said. The extra competition will help team members keep “in shape” for next year’s FIRST competition, she said. The best part of FIRST is the team camaradarie that builds, and that will improve with the summer experience, McCauley said. afroman@thisweeknews.com

Volunteers are needed to serve as timers and judges. Anyone interested in volunteering should call Patterson at 4816202. In the tradition of the popular adult kickball league, a new adult co-ed wiffle ball league will conducted July 25-Aug. 29 at Little Pierce Field, 1080 Oxley Road. “This is an offshoot of our adult kickball league,” Patterson said. “Some of the participants in that program said, ‘Hey, why don’t you try a wiffle ball league?’ Other communities have done similar programs. We’ll see if we get teams to sign up for it.” The wiffle ball league will feature five weeks of games with a one-night playoff. Games will be held at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Mondays. The league is open to those 18 and older. The fee is $80 per team. A minimum of four teams and maximum of six teams are needed for the league. The adult kickball league will return for its third year on Aug. 7 with a six-week season and one-night playoff. Games will be held at 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Sundays at Buck Park, 1280 Goodale Blvd. Cost is $80 per team with a minimum of four teams and six teams needed for the league. The registration deadline for returning teams is July 29. The parks department tries to come up with new programs that meet the needs and desires of area residents, Patterson said. “A lot of ideas come from our residents, from things they suggest to me,” he said. “We’re always looking for new ideas.”
CONNORS Continued from page A1 nors said. He had majored in clinical psychology in college and was preparing to enter in that field when an acquaintance who was a high school principal asked him if he would be interested in filling a teaching position temporarily. “I fell in love with teaching, right from the start, and I knew that’s what I wanted to do,” Connors said. “It was the excitement and reward of working with young people that propelled me to stay in education,” Connors said. “You feed off that.” Working with high school students and helping them address the situations and problems that arise offers unbeatable personal rewards and satisfaction, he said. The students in Grandview are
the boys 5-7 category. “It felt good to win,” he said. What was he thinking about as he sprinted down the course? “Winning,” Bockbrader said. Winning is something that Jakob Lundberg, 8, is used to doing. In addition to winning Sunday’s sprints for boys age 8-10, Lundberg said he has also finished first at several other kids’ cycling contests, including ones at Lake Hope, Westerville, and Dillon State Park near Zanesville. “I definitely want to be a professional rider some day and compete in the Tour de France,” he said. He practices riding as often as he can, frequently pedaling at Alum Creek Park. “The more you ride, the faster you get,” Lundberg said. Getting the chance to ride on the Tour de Grandview course on race day was “pretty cool,” he said. “It’s just a lot of fun to race on a bike,” Lundberg said. afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com
JOB special, and so are their parents, Connors said. “I’ve been so lucky because the parents in Grandview are so involved in their children’s education,” he said. “Boy, that makes a guidance counselor’s job a lot easier.” As do the excellent teachers, administrators and school board members he has served with, Connors said. “I hold them in the highest esteem,” he said. “It’s been a privilege to work with so many dedicated people. “As I said, I’ve been very lucky.” Connors said he doesn’t know what he will be doing during his retirement, but he won’t be idle. “I’m one of those people, I have to keep doing something. I don’t know what it will be yet,” he said. “I can’t imagine just ‘being retired.’”

In 1927, Robert G. Hexter and his wife, Hazel, founded Grandview Cycle Store. He was joined by his son, Robert J. “Heck” Hexter, in the operation of the store, while Hazel took care of the paperwork and prepared lunch for the employees. Robert G. (shown in the inset lower left) mostly worked on bikes, and Heck worked on lawn mowers in the store on First Avenue. Heck’s son, Robert R., later took over the store and moved it to the corner of Fifth and Broadview when the Grandview Library purchased the building on First for its expansion.
As it were
July 4, 1911, was deadly hot, but ‘safe and sane’ It was a very hot day. July 4, 1911, in Columbus was the hottest Fourth of July since records had begun to be regularly kept in 1878. In fact, it only missed being the hottest day on record by three-tenths of one degree. The temperature peaked in the afternoon at 103.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and some said it was even hotter in some of the more densely populated parts of the city. In a time when air conditioning in its ED modern form did not exist LENTZ and when electric fans were a luxury only the affluent could afford, heat like this could be — and often was — deadly. William Theis, a 34-year-old barber, walked into a cafe owned by one A. J. Flowers on Russell Street in the Short North. He asked for a glass of water and drank it down. He then dropped dead of heart failure. Mary Gallagher, 74, of Starr Avenue, distraught over a recent death in the family, died of heat prostration on the morning of the holiday. And on the afternoon of the Fourth, Edward Daggett, 16, went for a swim in the Scioto River near the downtown bridges with two friends to escape the heat. The river in those days was rather polluted as it passed through the city, but the young man was used to that. What killed him was the cramp that seized him when he hit the cooler water away from the sweltering shore. His drowned body was found the next day. But with only three deaths, Columbus was more fortunate than some other American cities caught in the same lengthy heat wave. Twenty-seven people died from the heat in Chicago that July 4 and 25 people died in New York. In the major cities of America, more than 134 people died of heat-related causes on Independence Day. So what exactly did people do on a holiday as warm as this one? Actually, they did quite a bit. With virtually every major business, factory, school and government office closed for the day, many people tried to get out of town and celebrate the Fourth where it might be a bit cooler. More than 500 people took the train to Buckeye Lake, where the resort town welcomed them for an old-fashioned celebration of fireworks and fun. Others took the train to Glen Mary on the North Side where Camp Mary Orton is located today, and some traveled from Columbus to Greenwood Lake in Delaware for a quiet day in the country. But most people spent the day close to home. In Columbus in recent years, we have come to expect large public celebrations like Red White and Boom!, with its small, intimate crowd of 500,000, as well as neighborhood fireworks shows on the Fourth of July. But such was not the case a cen-

A summer streetcar in Columbus c. 1900.
tury ago. If anything, Columbus was deeply distrustful of fireworks in 1911. For most of the previous generation, fireworks and ordnance had been available to anybody with the money to buy them. In the years after the Civil War, it was not uncommon for a militia company to fire a salute of rifle and cannon fire on the Fourth — with live ammunition. Workers at factories often set off a quarter keg of black powder, making sure to duck to avoid flying pieces of wood. And children had all sorts of fun setting off all sorts of fireworks — and blowing off all sorts of fingers, toes and facial features in the process. By the turn of the century, many people had come to believe that enough was enough. Spearheaded by the formidable lobbying power of the Daughters of the American Revolution, many cities began to try to celebrate what had come to be called a “Safe and Sane” Fourth of July. A safe and sane Fourth was one in which the only fireworks were set off by professionals. 1910 was the first year for a “Safe and Sane” Fourth in the city, and all in all, it went pretty well; 1911 was even better. In retrospect, some people argued that the young people of Columbus were finally coming to their senses and had learned not blow themselves up. Others simply concluded that it was so incredibly hot that no one had any energy to be mischievous. The real reason was probably somewhere in between. While the safety record of the city with fireworks for July 4 was admirable, a large number of people were out and about, even in the awful heat. Olentangy Park, the largest amuse-
ment park in the city, was located along the Olentangy River, north of the Ohio State University campus. On the Fourth of July, admission was free. For most of the day, the place was packed. And at night, many people stayed for fireworks. Other people spent the day at the Glen Echo Ravine, where the Glen Echo Improvement Association hosted a day of activities and fireworks at night. Others went to a neighborhood celebration hosted by the residents of Ninth Avenue, west of Neil Avenue in the OSU area. But for people living in and near the downtown, the place to be was Statehouse Square. At 2:30 in the afternoon and again 8:30 in the evening, the Battalion Band from Columbus Barracks (later known as Fort Hayes) entertained the public with a concert on the Square. Many people, as they still do today, simply celebrated Independence Day at home. To make the day a little more special, dinner was often served on the porches of the houses or lawns nearby. And after an evening repast, what some would remember more than the fireworks — or the lack thereof — was the large dish of peach ice cream that was served for dessert. Produced in bulk by the Busy Bee restaurant and café in downtown Columbus, the seasonal treat was a “blending of fine ripe Georgia peaches with rich Jersey cream. A quart delivered to your home for the Fourth of July, 50 cents.” It was a pleasant end to warm and memorable day.

Wrestling
Davis replaces DiSabato as coach By SCOTT HENNEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers Wrestling has been a way of life for Chad Davis for years, so it seemed inevitable that one day he would take over the program at his alma mater. Davis, a 2006 graduate of Grandview Heights High School, was selected in May to replace his mentor, Andy DiSabato, who led the wrestling program for 25 years. “Coach DiSabato showed me how much work it is and how disciplined that
you had to be in preparation,” said Davis, who was an assistant for DiSabato last season. “Over time, our relationship changed from coach to peer, which was great. “I think I also learned how to develop a relationship with the kids to where I was a peer and friend, but also an authority figure. We could be friendly and joke around, but they respected me as a coach.” DiSabato had hoped Davis would be his replacement. “Chad was a great wrestler for us and
was a first-year assistant last year for us,” DiSabato said. “I thought he would do a good job for us and tried to teach him everything he would need to know last season. I think we will do a great job.” Davis won the 215-pound state title in Division III as a senior. He currently is a sixth-grade teacher at Edison Intermediate Middle School (EIMS) in Grandview. He also played football for four seasons at Capital University. “We are looking forward to the start of the Chad Davis era of wrestling,” ath-
letics director Kathy Kinnard said. “Chad is an alum of GHHS and was a state champion wrestler here. He is an intervention specialist at EIMS and he is knowledgeable in the sport of wrestling, enthusiastic in his dealings with young people, a good communicator and is eager to get started. “I liked what I saw last year when he was our assistant varsity coach. I know he will take the good things that he experienced as an athlete with his coaches and combine them with his style and lead our young people in the sport of
wrestling.” Davis believes the success at the high school level comes from a strong youth program. “When I was a freshman (in 200203) we had about 35 guys in the wrestling room and that all started with the elementary program from the third and fourth grades on up,” he said. “When we have had good teams in the past at Grandview, it all started with the novice program.” See DAVIS, page B3
Club Soccer
Two teams win pools to reach semifinals By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Patrick Ferron/ThisWeek
Crew Juniors U-19’s Ross Friedman, a Bexley native, controls the ball against St. Croix, Minn., during a game of the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis. The teams played to a 1-all tie.
In semifinals played June 28, the U-13 team played Eclipse Select and the U-16 team played KCFC Force from Kansas. The finals were held June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. The Ohio Premier Eagles’ U18 and U-19 teams each went 21 to finish second in their pools. Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 coach Kevin Dougherty was surprised to see his squad outscore its three pool play opponents 12-1. “It’s pretty unusual to win three games here the way we did because all the teams competing here are very good,” Dougherty said. “The way our U-16 team made it is more typical of this kind of tournament because there isn’t much separating most teams from a win or loss here.” All five local boys teams fell short of qualifying for the semifinals. The Crew Juniors U-19 and Team Ohio F.C. Blast U-18 (1-11 in pool play) each finished second in their pools, and the Classics Eagles U-13 (1-1-1), Team Ohio F.C. Green U-17 (0-1-2) and Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 (1-2) each placed third. Classics Eagles U-13 boys coach Mike Lentz said most teams were just a couple favorable bounces or calls away from winning an extra game to advance. “There’s a lot of parity at this level,” Lentz said. “Looking at our bracket, three of the four teams could have come out on top on any given weekend. We had an untimely call go against us in our first game and it ended up completely changing our destiny for the tournament. If we would have caught a lucky break or two who knows how far we could have made it.”
Only two of the nine central Ohio boys and girls soccer teams competing in the Midwest Regional Cup, held June 25-29 in Fox Cities, Wis., won their fourteam pool to advance to a semifinal. Four of seven local squads reached a semifinal in 2009 and three of eight area teams made it to a semifinal last year. However, Crew Juniors Under19 boys coach Brian Bliss said the decrease in central Ohio pool-play winners probably was because of bad luck and not a lack of talent or effort. Bliss led the Crew Juniors U19 boys squad to regional and national titles last year. This year’s Crew Juniors U-19 boys team, which didn’t retain any of last year’s players, went 1-0-2 to finish second in its pool. “There’s some luck involved in being able to win this tournament, and in our case, it ended up being the bad luck of getting a tough draw,” Bliss said. “This team has as much or more talent than we had last year, but we drew into a tougher group where every game was tough. If we would have drawn into a different group we may have gone on to win this again, but we had to spend a ton of energy in the three games we played here and we didn’t even make it out of our pool. The (blind draw for pool play) is one of the biggest reasons you rarely see a club win this tournament two or three years in a row.” The one local club that did fare well this year was the Ohio Premier Eagles, which advanced two of its four teams to semifinals. The Ohio Premier Eagles’four girls teams combined to go 10-2 in pool play. Its U-13 squad went 3-0 to win its pool and its U-16 team advanced on a tiebreaker by beating Eclipse Select of Illinois ablankenship@thisweeknews.com 1-0 on penalty kicks. www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Tapre Young could have several options in terms of her basketball career if things continue in the direction they’ve been going this summer. Now in her third season as a captain on the Columbus Hidden Gems semi-professional team, the 2004 Dublin Scioto High School graduate is one of the top outside shooters in the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League. At 5-foot-11, Young averages more than 15 points and has been shooting better than 50 percent from 3-point range. That combination could make her an attractive possibility for overseas teams looking for players for their seasons, which begin in the fall. “I haven’t played anywhere

overseas, but hopefully I will after this season,” Young said. “I really wouldn’t mind playing in Spain, France or anywhere in Europe. I’d even consider Australia. Any time you can get paid for what you do, it’s a good thing.” If Young is unable to land a professional contract, she has an offer to serve as an assistant coach for the Talladega (Ala.) College women’s team.

Football
Richardson focuses on success off field By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers While many football camps stress Xs and Os, the Jay Richardson Camp at Dublin Scioto High School focused on life skills. The second annual camp, which was held June 24-25, was open to boys ages 11-18. Richardson, a defensive end for the Seattle Seahawks who played at Ohio State and graduated from Scioto in 2002, said he was thrilled that he could hold the camp at his alma mater. The theme of the camp was “There is more to sports than the game,” and Richardson said he was eager to share that message. “This means a lot,” Richardson said. “It’s awesome that the high school was with me on this to get all these kids in here. It’s awesome that we can get the kids educated on what their options are and their future outside of their sport.” Forty-seven boys attended last year’s inaugural camp at American Methodist Episcopal Church on North Hamilton Road in Columbus. There were 104 at this year’s camp at Scioto. “We’re telling the kids there’s more to sports than the game and if you don’t learn the stuff that’s really important then football doesn’t matter and soccer doesn’t matter,” said Deborah Johnson, a coordinator of the event and Richardson’s mother. “Sports won’t matter if you’re not doing the right thing, if you’re not a gentleman and if you don’t have
mentors and the way you have to do better stuff and try to do the right thing,” he said. Sam Tickle, who served 11 years in the U.S. Navy, began the camp by sharing stories and a video on his completion of 30 sports in 30 cities in 30 days. Tickle’s presentation, part of the EAS Unstoppable Tour, focused on proper sports nutrition and setting and achieving goals. “The one thing that I wanted to push is your brain gives up before your body gives up,” Tickle said. “You can push yourself a lot further when you just set your mind to it. If you’re able to train your brain to realize that pain is just temporary and that if you focus on a goal, your body will perform the way it needs to.” Current and former members of the Ohio State football program also shared their experiences. That group included Taylor Rice, a 2008 Scioto graduate and junior defensive back with the Buckeyes. The camp also featured NFL players including Mike Mitchell, a safety with Oakland and a former teammate of Richardson, who was drafted by the Raiders in 2007. “The one message that I want kids to take away from this camp is never unBy Chris Parker/ThisWeek derestimate yourself and know your opFormer Dublin Scioto and Ohio State standout Jay Richardson speaks with those attending his camp June 24 at Scioto. tions,” Richardson said. “You can do anything you want to do, but you have The camp was for boys ages 11-18 and focused on teaching life skills. to know what to do.” good grades, so we’re teaching them guest speakers who included area court, sixth grade at Tree of Life, said he learned fdirenna@thisweeknews.com how to do those other things right.” police and military officials. a lot from the presentations.

Buckeye Elite event to attract more than 200 teams By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
About 210 teams from 15 states and Canada are scheduled to play in the eighth annual Buckeye Elite Showcase Tournament that will be held Wednesday, July 6, through July 10 in central Ohio. The tournament is divided into four divisions: Under-14, U-15, U-16 and U18. More than 40 area high school and college fields will play host to games, said Jeff Dutiel, the chief financial officer for the tournament. The event begins with a skills showcase on July 6 at Dublin Coffman, where athletes will test their abilities in front of college coaches and pro scouts. Worthington-based Big League Baseball School will conduct the invitation-only event.
“Our biggest thing is to get the kids looks for colleges,” Dutiel said. The competition also will feature a Buckeye Elite Night on July 8 at Huntington Park. Before the Columbus Clippers’game against the Toledo Mud Hens, the teams in the tournament will parade onto the field and players will participate in onfield contests. Players also will have a chance to be honorary bat boys and throw out the first pitch. In tournament play, each division will be divided into pools: 20 four-team pools in U-18, 16 four-team pools in U-16, 14 three-team pools in U-15 and four fiveteam pools in U-14. In U-18, the winner of each pool will advance to gold championship singleelimination play, leading up to the gold championship game on July 10 at Hunt-
ington Park. The second-place team in each pool will compete in silver championship play, with the title game to be played at Olentangy High School on July 10. In U-16, the gold championship game will be at Huntington Park and the silver championship game will be at Dublin Coffman on July 10. In U-15, the gold and silver championship games will be at Dublin Jerome on July 10. In U-14, the gold and silver championship games will be at Don Edwards Park in Newark on July 9. Each team that does not qualify for gold or silver championship play will compete in a consolation game on July 9. The Ohio Elite baseball program is expected to field teams in the U-14, U15 and U-18 divisions. Dublin Jerome coach Chris Huesman
will guide his U-17 team in the U-18 division. “The Under-17 is the most critical time for a high school player in summer ball because that’s where all the college coaches are,” Huesman said. “All the college coaches are recruiting for their 2012 class and this is the most important time for these kids, so you want to take them to all the showcases or tournaments that will have the most exposure, and Buckeye Elite is one of those.” The Columbus Cobras baseball program will enter teams in the U-14 and U-18 divisions. Harry Huskey will coach the U-18 team, which won the tournament in 2009. “The caliber of this tournament is really good,” Huskey said. “There are teams from all over the Midwest. We use this tournament to see where we’re
Wood-Bat Baseball
Gahanna squad edges Cobras in U-16 title game By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Area fans were treated to some old-school baseball on June 2226. The fourth annual Worthington/Phoenix Wood Bat Tournament was held at eight fields in central Ohio, with the championship games played at Worthington Kilbourne High School on June 26. Fifty teams competed in the Under-16 and U-18 divisions, an increase from 40 entries last year and eight in the tournament’s first year in 2008. Proceeds from the tournament benefited the Kilbourne baseball program. Tournament director Travis Cox began the event four years ago, looking to give players and fans a different perspective of the game. “A lot of the coaches grew up playing in the wood-bat era, so they’re trying to get their kids to see what it was like to play like that when they were kids,” Cox said. “It definitely changes the atmosphere of the game. Pitchers learn to throw strikes a lot more because they know kids are going to struggle hitting with the wood bat. You see a lot more small ball, bunts, hit and run. The games are 2-1, 3-2.” The tournament kicked off with a college showcase event on June 22 at Kilbourne. Seventy players
participated in the event, which allowed them to display their skills to the college coaches in attendance. The Gahanna American Legion Post 797A team defeated the Columbus Cobras 3-2 in the U16 championship game. Post 797A improved to 15-4. Pitcher Alec Touhy, who will be a junior at Gahanna, pitched a complete game. He allowed six hits, struck out eight and walked one. Post 797A broke a scoreless tie with three runs in the fourth inning. The key hit was Alex Delp’s two-run single. Touhy drew a bases-loaded walk to score Christian Chiero with the third run against starting and losing pitcher Cody Seagraves. The Cobras, comprised of players entering their sophomore year, closed to within 3-2 with single runs in the fourth and fifth innings. Alec McCurry led off the fourth with a double and scored on Jarrett Peters’ single. Andrew Chacey singled with two outs in the fifth and scored on Kyle Casserly’s single. Touhy retired the side in order in the seventh. “This is big,” Touhy said. “This team has played together since (the players were) 14 and 15 (years old). We’ve come so close and we’ve actually never got it done, so this is a big deal.” After losing to the Grove City
Titans 7-5 on June 23, Post 797A bounced back to win its final four games to finish the tournament with a 5-1 record. “I’m very proud of the boys,” Post 797A coach Mark Cararo said. “They worked awfully hard to come back. I just can’t say enough about them. The demeanor of the boys was still positive. They knew what they needed to do and they knew they had to win out to have a chance to make it to Sunday. Our goal is always to make it to Sunday.” The Cobras, who began play Memorial Day weekend, fell to 30-5. “We’re 15-year-olds playing in a 16-year-old tournament,” Cobras coach Tim Peters said. “We had great pitching and the kids did well. It came down to a onerun ballgame. I don’t think anyone expected us to be here this weekend.” The Ohio Yankees of Akron dominated opponents in winning the U-18 title. The Yankees defeated the Dayton Dodgers 8-0 in five innings in the championship game and outscored their opponents 30-3 in the tournament.

Wrestling
Weight classes to be adjusted for next season By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers Some area high school wrestling coaches aren’t pleased with the new guidelines for weight classes but realize their teams will need to adapt. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) approved the changes during its meeting April 46 in Indianapolis. Tim Stried, director of information services for the Ohio High School Athletic Association, said the changes will be in effect for the coming season. It is the first significant change in weight classes in 23 years. The lowest weight class, 103 pounds, is being increased to 106, which resulted in new weights in 10 of the 14 classes. The new weight classes are 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. Only 145, 152, 160 and 285 remain unchanged. The previous weight classes were 103,
112, 119, 125, 130, 135, 140, 145, 152, 160, 171, 189, 215 and 285. “The NFHS has been studying the weight classes in wrestling for several years to determine which weight classes are most appropriate for today’s student-athletes across the country that will result in fewer classes going unfilled,” Stried said. “These new weight classes are the result of countless hours of data analysis by the NFHS, and Ohio will certainly comply with the new weight classes. Like anything, it will take some time for our member schools to be comfortable with the changes, but we can all appreciate that the NFHS is trying to do the right thing for kids.” Westerville North coach David Grant is concerned that the increase in the lowest weight to 106 will adversely affect lighter competitors. Grant said his 103-pounder last season, Santino DiSabato, weighed between 85 and 90 pounds, but now is moving closer to 106 in preparation for next season.
“I don’t like the weight class changes because it hurts the kids that are little,” Grant said. “I have Santino DiSabato, who had a hard time making 103. Now they take it to 106, so it hurts the younger kids, the freshmen. You’re going to have a lot of kids not able to be competitive at that weight. They’re too young, too little.” Hilliard Davidson coach Dominic DiSabato, Santino’s uncle, is not in favor of the shift in weight classes. “For our program, I’m not a big fan of it,” he said. “We’ll try to get every weight class filled and then wrestle. It will hurt us in duals. Hopefully, we have a couple bigger kids coming out for the team next year and it won’t hurt us as bad as it could have in the past. We just have to have our wrestlers wrestle the best they can. The other schools are in the same position we are.” Marysville coach Shawn Andrews said his program will adapt to the new guidelines, and he believes the changes actually might help his team next sea-

Katie Shepherd. Bellinger, Buell, Shepherd and Stein competed in the Division I girls state tournament last fall and Seitz,Vannatta and Wallace played in the Division I boys state tournament in the spring. Stein, who teamed with Bellinger to place second in the state with a 6-4, 6-2 loss to Cincinnati Ursuline Academy’s Komal Safdar and Mehvish Safdar in the doubles final, said the Ohio Valley Davis Cup provided a good tune-up for summer and fall competition. “The main thing you pick up is confidence, I guess,” she said. “It’s mostly just for fun.” “The best thing was having us all together,” Bellinger said. “We all know each other and we all hit with each other. I think that made us a good team.”
ent situation because now they were competing with each other. Everyone got along so well.” The Columbus team went 3-0 in the tournament. It defeated Cincinnati Gold 6-4 and Dayton 9-1 on June 18 to place first in the top division, and it also defeated Cincinnati Silver 9-1 on June 19. Each match consisted of 10 courts — two boys singles matches, two girls singles matches, two boys doubles matches, two girls doubles matches and two mixed doubles matches. The boys roster featured Watterson’s Aaron Casares, Jerome’s Kent Seitz, Gahanna’s Canyon Teague and Upper Arlington’s Eric Vannatta and Nate Wallace. The girls players were Lauren Bellinger and Sarah Stein of Jerome, Meghan Buell and Cristina DiLorenzo of New Albany, UA’s pbatterson@thisweeknews.com Elaine Cloern and Watterson’s www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
DAVIS Continued from page B1 Davis expects that his former teammate, Nathan Ells, will return as an assistant coach. Ells coached the middle school team last year. Expected to return for the Bobcats are senior David Kuruvilla (112 pounds), juniors C.J. Flowers (189) and Matt Kientz (189) and sophomores Sam Callison (160), Cody Hofmaster (171), Owen Hopper (130), David Lindemann (119), A.J. Pinyerd (heavyweight) and Anthony Sagstetter (152). Kuruvilla, Lindemann, Sagstetter and Kientz all finished second in the MSL-Cardinal Division duals. The Bobcats finished third (2-2) in the league meet behind West Jefferson (4-0 in duals) and host Licking Heights (3-1) and ahead of Liberty Union (13) and Harvest Prep (0-4). Grand-

It’s a pretty big advantage to have that locked up like that. I don’t like the figure four. ... Two legs against the neck is usually not a good idea.” In another change, the boundary line now is considered inbounds. Previously, a wrestler was out of bounds if he or she was touching any part of the line, which is two inches wide. “I like expanding the mat a little bit and having the line inbounds instead of out of bounds,” coach DiSabato said. “I’m just curious how it’s going to be called because of the size of the gyms. The mats are closer together, but you award the aggressor as much as you can and that tends to help out if the line is inbounds rather than out of bounds.” fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

son. Andrews said he expects the lower weights to be a strength of his program. “Looking at it selfishly for a year or two, it helps Marysville specifically because it’s where we have more guys than less guys, but in the broad scope of wrestling, it seems a little odd that they took away a weight class from some of the weight classes that are most competitive and then added some at the top,” Andrews said. “It helps some kids from football or some kids who are concerned about losing too much weight between 171 and 189.” According to the NFHS, the last major change in weight classes occurred in 1988, when the lowest class was increased from 98 to 103. The only other changes since then were in 2002, when the number of classes went from 13 to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the 275-pound class was increased to 285. The NFHS also adopted a rule change involving the figure four hold around

It’s a chance to showcase your talents.” After getting off to a 2-0 start, the Hidden Gems were 3-4 after losing to the Cleveland Crush 84-74 on June 25. On Saturday, July 2, Columbus will play host to the Oakland-Macomb Run from Oakland, Mich., in a Northeast Division game. The Hidden Gems lost to the Run 87-67 on June 5 but won a rematch 97-85 on June 12. The Hidden Gems play their home games at Lazelle Woods Recreation Center in north Columbus near Worthington.

Poindexter will begin her third season this winter as the girls basketball coach at Walnut Ridge. “I think everything is going OK,” said Poindexter, who is averaging 14 points and five assists. “We’re a whole new team really and we’ve just got to work together better. We’re better than the teams that have beaten us. We don’t have any superstars this year. Our team has a whole lot of heart and we just have to keep our team chemistry.
