Levy talk dominates school board retreat

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Talk of a possible levy was the most prominent part of the Hilliard Board of Education’s recent two-day retreat.

On the evening of June 23, after dealing with routine business, board members saw treasurer Brian Wilson’s latest five-year projections, which have the district facing a $50 million deficit in fiscal year 2015.

City council approves new police contract

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard City Council has unanimously approved a new collective bargaining agreement between the city and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).

“We feel it’s a good contract,” said Jeff Simpson, liaison to Hilliard with the FOP, prior to council’s June 27 meeting. “The bargaining climate is difficult now, as everybody knows, but we were able to work with the needs of the city, and they were able to work with our needs, and come togeth-

The contract had expired at the end of last year. Earlier this month, the union membership voted to accept a proposed three-year agreement that runs until the end of 2013.

“It really didn’t take that long once we sat down at the table,” Simpson said. “We’ve always had a good working relationship to work out issues that each side may have.”

July 4 fireworks to cap holiday

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Hilliard’s fireworks display will begin at 9:45 p.m. on Monday, July 4.

“They are set off at the south part of the Municipal Park along Heritage Golf Club,” said recreation and parks director Steven Mazer. “It’s in our outfield grass — that whole left field is nothing but rocket launchers. Then we have to dig a pit close to the golf course — three feet deep and 12 feet long —- as a safety factor for the larger rockets.”

Mazer said it costs just under $25,000 to shoot 25-30 minutes’ worth of fireworks, and 7-Up has pitched in an additional $1,000 in sponsorship.

The annual Fourth of July parade departs at 10 a.m. from the Franklin County Fairgrounds. The Municipal Park will See JULY 4, page A2

Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio

The musical “Ragtime,” based on the novel by E.L. Doctorow, may be the most challenging production the Hilliard Arts Council has attempted to date.

“This is a show that is not done very often in community theaters,” said director Robin Brenneman.

“We’re one of the only ones to do

it in the area, and it’s partially because it’s demanding musically, and it requires a multi-ethnic cast.

We weren’t even sure that we were going to be able to attract the people that we needed for it, but fortunately we did and we’re delighted about that, because we want to branch out and get more folks involved.

HAC tackles major challenge in ‘Ragtime’ Continued from page A1 “Hilliard has become more diverse, and we wanted to reflect that in what we chose to do with our show,” she said.

“It’s a very difficult musical,” said Ken Brenneman, who will

lead a 20-person orchestra in 2530 numbers. “It’s PG-13 because it talks about the ragtime era. There are problems with African-Americans, immigrants and the richer set, and these storylines run through the show, to the background of ragtime music. The play

has a social message as well as being a really good musical.”

“It’s certainly one of the more ambitious shows that I’ve been affiliated with in terms of the difficulty of the music, and the very large number of leading roles,” said Kurt Zielenbach, who plays the role of Father. “One thing that’s actually quite different is there are a substantial number of parts for African-American cast members.

That’s a new and good thing for us in terms of the diversity of our theater group.”

The Brennemans said they saw the musical on Broadway and decided to stage it in Hilliard. However, unlike last year’s performances of “Oliver,” “Ragtime” may not be appropriate for young children.

“There is some racially-charged language in it,” Robin Brenneman said. “Since that language is crucial to the social justice message

A closer look “Ragtime” will be staged at 8 p.m. July 8 and 9, and 3 p.m.

of this show, we have chosen to keep it in there. But there are parents that may not want their kids to hear the n-word. And then there is some implied violence. You don’t actually see it.”

In addition to the usual five weeks of intense rehearsals — two

hours a day, six days a week — there are the challenges of renting period costumes for 75 cast members and how to create or find a Model T Ford that ends up getting damaged by a mob.

Robin Brenneman said the twoand-a-half-hour musical (with in-

termission) goes by quickly, with plenty of characters moving on and off the stage.

There’s another thing she likes about “Ragtime.”

“I do a lot of social justice work, so this play brings together two of my life’s passions — theater and social justice,” she said.

“Ragtime” will be staged at 8 p.m. July 8 and 9, and 3 p.m. July 10 in the Performing Arts Center at Hilliard Davidson High School, 5100 Davidson Road.

However, members said the final numbers for a levy and how they would be administered have not been approved.

Since the district’s fiscal year ends June 30, millage could be determined next month, so that the district’s five-year forecast extends into 2016.

Lambert said a proposed levy involves four components, each affecting the others — the size of the levy, the levy interval, the cash target and the rate of spending growth — and selecting any three will determine the fourth.

Superintendent Dale McVey said that for a levy to go on the November ballot, the board Dale McVey would need to approve it in a two-step process prior to Aug. 10.

McVey said the board could do so either in July, or at board meetings on Aug. 1 and 8, and hoped they would all be present for those votes.

On June 24, the board members heard about other school matters for more than six hours straight. There were updates on technology, transportation, food service, building maintenance, legislation affecting the district at the statehouse, Race to the Top, projected housing developments in the district, the Athletics Sustainability Committee, and a review of strategic goals.

Trafficking survivor talks about slavery

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Three little words plunged Theresa Flores into two years of slavery. Four little words saved her life.

Flores, the author of “The Slave across the Street,” spoke about her experience of being entrapped in domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) at a Hilliard Women in Business luncheon June 22 at the Four Seasons.

“It’s a really heavy issue,” Flores said. “One of the things I hear most frequently is I didn’t know it happens here. It is epidemic, I believe.”

According to the Ohio Study Commission on Human Trafficking, there are an estimated 1,000 children age 12-17 being trafficked in Ohio.

When she was 15 and living in a well-to-do Detroit suburb, Flores had a crush on a boy. “He said three little words – ‘I like you,’” Flores recalled.

She went into his home and unsuspectingly had a soft drink that he drugged. He raped her and had incriminating photos taken. Flores was blackmailed into prostitution, leaving her home at night and returning the next morning for two years without her family knowing. She was followed and threatened

with death if she didn’t comply.

Once, a customer asked her what her name was, and her pimp told him that Flores didn’t have a name. “It broke my soul,” Flores said.

After a particularly harrowing experience in a seedy motel, Flores escaped into a diner. “My angel came in the form of a waitress who said, ‘Can I help you?’” she said.

Now, Flores has a master’s degree and has been a social worker for more than 20 years. She is the mother of three children and lives in central Ohio.

Flores has talked about her experiences on The Today Show and has written “The Slave across the Street.” Her story will be turned into a movie starring Abigail Mason.

“I’ve been helping other survivors,” Flores said.

In the S.O.A.P. program (Saving Our Adolescents from Prostitution), she gives away soap to motels wrapped with a message to help those who might be victims of DMST. There is also a website, www.traffickfree.com, and Flores is raising funds to open Gracehaven, a spiritual safe house in Ohio for girls who have been traumatized by DMST. A portion of the proceeds from the luncheon went to Gracehaven House. For more information, visit www.gracehavenhouse.org.

4th of July Special

Commentary & opinion 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 ED more densely populated parts LENTZ of the city.

In a time when air conditioning in its modern form did not exist 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 A. J. Flowers on Russell Street in the Short North. He asked for a glass of water and drank it. 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 did people do on a holiday as warm as this one? They did quite a bit. With virtually every major business, factory, school and government office closed for the day, 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 recent years, we have come to expect large 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 century ago. If anything, Columbus was deeply distrustful of fireworks in 1911. For most of the previous generation, fireworks and ordnance

of all sorts had been readily available to anybody with the money to buy them.

In the years after the Civil War, it was not uncommon for a local militia company to fire a salute of rifle and cannon fire on the Fourth — with live ammunition. Workers at local factories often set off a quarter keg of black powder, making sure to duck to avoid flying pieces of wood. Children of all ages had all sorts of fun setting off all sorts of fireworks — and blowing off 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 and one in which the police quickly stopped the activities of amateur celebrants.

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 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 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 simply celebrated Independence Day at home. To make the day a little more special, especially with the heat, dinner was often served on the great porches of the houses of those days or on the 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.

CITY COUNCIL Continued from page A1 in a relatively cooperative fashion under some very difficult circumstances both the union and the city are facing this year,” law director Pamela Fox said to council. “The cooperation we saw this time around was a credit to both sides.”

Under Ohio law, council has 30 days to accept or reject the agreement, so the ordinance was passed by emergency on its second reading.

Among other legislation, council approved: • A resolution adopting a tentative tax budget for fiscal year 2012 that estimates revenues of $20,458,522 and expenditures of $19,956,401.

• An ordinance allowing for a volunteer reserve police force with no maximum age limit.

• A resolution authorizing a contract with 3M Co. to develop a traffic sign management system and street light inventory program for Hilliard that public service director Clyde Seidle said gets two birds

with one stone.

• A resolution adopting the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio’s (SWACO) solid waste management plan update through 2025. Consultant Michael Greenberg said SWACO presents the plan to the 41 communities it serves in its district and seeks approval in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code.

Council also had a second reading for a quiet zone at the railroad crossing at Leap and Davidson roads, yet tabled their vote to the Sept. 12 meeting.

Earlier, the finance and administration committee forwarded to council a resolution authorizing a lease-purchase agreement with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC for a street sweeper truck and a tandem axle pumper truck that were previously approved.

The economic and community development committee forwarded a resolution to continue to participate in the Franklin County department of housing and urban development entitlement program.

Jaguars to roar around county fairgrounds

By GARY BUDZAK ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Jaguars will be on the prowl July 6 at the Franklin County Fairgrounds. No, it’s not Bradley High School students, or the big cats – we’re talking British sports/luxury cars.

The Jaguar Association of Central Ohio is putting on a slalom challenge at the fairgrounds as part of the Jaguar Clubs of North America Challenge Championship July 5-9. The local Jaguar club volunteered to host the event.

Membership chairman Dave Putnam said 120 vintage Jaguars and their owners from all over the country, Canada and Mexico will take part in events in Powell, Hilliard and Dublin.

First, the owners will meet at the local Jaguar organization’s headquarters at “The Barn” in

Dave Putnam is at the wheel of a 1950 Jaguar Mark V Saloon, on the way to winning his class at the Jaguar Association of Central Ohio’s slalom racing event last year at the Franklin County Fairgrounds. The Buckeye Buggy bus in the back powers timing equipment for the event.

Powell on July 5 to kick off the event. The next morning, the slalom event takes place at the fairgrounds. Putnam said it should start at 10 a.m. and go until 2 or 3 p.m. Although registration for the event is over, people are wel-

come to come out and watch the slalom driving for free. Bleachers will be set up.

Putnam said the club held a similar event at the fairgrounds last October.

“We had one there last fall to

kind of test it out and see how it worked, and it worked out very well,” Putnam said. “We had done one this spring at a church parking lot and it worked all right, but not for the quantity of cars we’re going to have for a national event.”

The fairgrounds is also preferred because it has better restrooms, bleachers and the staff is helpful in doing things like sweeping gravel and blocking the back gate so people don’t cut through the middle of the course.

The slalom competition is a bit like what one might see on “Top Gear.’” An area is blocked off with 30 traffic cones set up.

Thirty or so drivers, in different classes, will line up and are timed as they go through the pattern a couple of times in three different configurations. A school bus dubbed the “Buckeye Buggy”

holds a generator for the club to power the computers and timing equipment.

The fastest time wins in each class. Putnam, who lives in Worthington, said he and his 1950 Jaguar Mark V Saloon can negotiate the course in just under a minute, but some of the modified and newer Jags can slide through in less than 40 seconds.

Another reason to visit the Fairgrounds is this year’s challenge features the popular Jaguar XKEs, also known as the E-types, which are now 50 years old.

Putnam said the challenge will also feature a rally from Dublin to Dayton to visit a Packard museum on July 7. There is a cruisein on July 8 and a Classic Auto Show on July 9 at the Metro Center in Dublin. The E-types will be shown alongside other makes at the show, which is held in con-

junction with the Arthritis Foundation.

“It’s what we call a show within a show,” Putnam said. “The Corvette and Mustang guys do it – we all participate in that and help provide money to the Arthritis Foundation. But when it comes to judging, we all do our own judging, have our own rules and hand out our own trophies. They normally get 1,100 cars there on weekends.”

Local car buffs can also see the 14th Goodguys PPG Nationals hot rod and custom car show, held July 8-10 at the Ohio Expo Center.

“A lot of those Goodguys come over to the Metro Center in the evening because their show is just during the day,” Putnam said.

The Beat Arts, eats and fun in central Ohio

FAB 5

Propelled by the 2009 hit song Fire5 flies from the album Ocean Eyes, Adam Young, the braintrust of Owl City, went literally from making processed beats and loops in his parents’ basement to pop music stardom in a few short years. His music career in a whole new stratosphere, Young has returned with a new record titled All Things Bright and Beautiful, and a subsequent tour, which stops at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion on Friday, July 1. Tickets are $25/$28; call 1-800-745-3000.

Young was kind enough to answer a few questions posed by The Beat.

Now you realize that Albert- He Is We

The Beat: Could you have imagined the success of Ocean Eyes and the kinds of experiences that success has allowed you to have and what has been the impact and your reaction to it all?

Adam Young: Never! I’m an only child from a small town in Minnesota and I was loading trucks for Coca-Cola in a sweaty warehouse two years ago. The music thing started happening and really caught me off guard. I still can’t even believe what’s going on. I remember the moment my manager called me and said one of my tracks when to No. 1 in 24 countries around the world and I almost had a heart attack. It’s been a surprising roller-coaster through and throughout.

Cabo Cocina offers good food, drinks and views Sitting up amid the treetops and watching the evening sun spend its last light on the lazily lapping ripples of the Scioto River was lulling me into a trance. Or perhaps it was the 20-ounce margaritas.

Either way, perching on the aerie-like wooden deck at Cabo Cocina was proving to be an inspired idea. In fact, the groovy mood I was enjoying was so relaxing that I didn’t even mind the background reggae-tinged music Cabo plays.

Owned by the Historic Dublin Restaurant Group (of the Brazenheads, Oscar’s and Tucci’s fame), Cabo sits like a roomy stone lodge high above the banks of the Scioto near Dublin. And, as I implied, its comfy patio affords some fairly spectacular riparian views.

But restaurant reviewers cannot live on setting alone. Therefore, it’s fortunate that Cabo’s food is pretty fun, too.

First, though, there shall be hooch.

While the fuzzy-making fishbowl-sized house margaritas I alluded to (they also come in 12-ounce versions) are above

by G.A. Benton average, they’re a bit sweet for my palate.

My favorite tequila slurp here was an upgrade found on the “Fancy” list — the tighter, brighter and more lime-powered La Classica ($10/$14).

Foodwise (chips and an interesting salsa bar are on the house), the slightly spicy Shrimp Tostadas appetizer ($8) delivered the double crunch of deepfried shellfish nachos. Its side players were a cilantro aioli with bits of blue cheese; a warm, smoky and chunky salsa; and a nifty jicama salad.

At least as good were the unique Sweet Plantains ($6.50). These were slathered in a spicy, sweet and smoky barbecue type sauce and served with jalapeno pesto plus a cooling-off yogurt dip.

As for entrees, Cabo’s got tacos, bur-

Spicy and Crunchy Tilapia at Cabo Cocina.

ritos, fajitas, et al., but — against type — I preferred the fusion-y, MexiCaribbean stuff from the “Cabo Specialties” section. Among these, the Adobo Pork Mojados ($12.50) were pretty good: big chunks of tender and fatty pig en-

robed in a fruity, red mole-type sauce.

These came with excellent beer- and onion-flavored whole “borracho” beans.

I got those same neat frijoles, along with cheesy rice, to accompany the recommended Jerk Chicken relleno

($10.50). Served open-faced, the relleno featured charred peppers, tender meat and fruity accents.

For more of a showstopper, though, target the Spicy and Crunchy Tilapia ($15). It’s a pretty plate rimmed with a tangy, creamy and smoky tomato sauce and starring darkly crusted, lightly panfried fish. The successful collision of flavors also includes dense, (sometimes) bacon-y smashed plantains, a scorchedcorn salsa and more of that jalapeno aioli.

This tilapia’s so good you’ll remember enjoying it even if you later float off into a little summertime trance. I know I did.

New style of barbecue to enter the Columbus market Aloha Hawaiian BBQ & Asian Bistro soon will join the restaurant-laden West Fifth Avenue corridor and serve up its own brand of quick-serve Asian cuisine.

Set to open in the next week, the restaurant takes over 2,500 square feet of space in the Shoppes on Fifth, where Buffalo Wild Wings and Five Guys Burgers and Fries are located. The former Panda Express location seats about 60.

The family-run restaurant was born of the culinary diverse background of Ken Tsai, the chef and partner who has spent 50 years cooking in the restaurant business.

The new enterprise, 974 W. Fifth Ave., reunites Tsai with Jin Su. The two met while working together 30 years ago in their native Taiwan.

Ricky Tsai, son of the chef and also a partner, doesn’t want the restaurant’s name to be misunderstood. Aloha will not serve Hawaiian cuisine, but rather will draw on the state’s reputation as a melting pot of Asian cuisines. The style of food has become increasingly popular on the West Coast, he said.

“You don’t see this in the Midwest. This is some-

thing we wanted to bring to the area,” said Tsai, whose wife, Sammi, will manage the restaurant.

The menu focuses on a smattering of Hawaiian entrees, many of which use the restaurant’s three homemade barbecue sauces — katsu, teriyaki and Hawaiian barbecue — which offer their own sweet, distinctive tastes. Pork, chicken, shortribs and beef are marinated for 24 hours before being cooked to order. Other dishes, such as the shrimp and mahimahi, are deep-fried.

The menu delves into several Asian cuisines: Japanese, Thai and Chinese, with several noodle dishes — soups included — and stir-fried entrees.

A few salads and starters are part of the lineup, as well.

For logistical reasons, they shied away from sushi but do offer spam musubi, a Hawaiian dish that riffs on Japanese nigiri, a firm square of grilled spam on top of rice and held in place by a band of nori.

Tsai said he recognizes the competition from nearby restaurants such as CoCo’s Grill, Happy House, Nong’s Hunan Express and Mark Pi’s Express, so most prices at his restaurant are in the $6.25 to $7.95 range. Alcohol is not served.

Aloha is open for lunch and dinner daily. For more information, call 614-298-9688.

www.ThisWeekNews.com/foodandwine First Draft columnist Michael Paull suggests trying the mellow IPA from Breckenridge Brewery. The brew is tart upfront and sweet and floral in the Michael Paull finish, he says.

Recipe of the week

By Chris Parker/ThisWeek

Sammi and Ricky Tsai are among a founding partnership that established the Aloha Hawaiian BBQ & Asian Bistro at 974 W. Fifth Ave.

The Goat tavern has opened at 5730 Silver Falls St., off Hayden Run Road in the Dublin area. It’s the third in central Ohio. At 8,000 square feet, it’s the biggest store yet, and offers two volleyball courts with access to a nearby pool.

The place offers a standard tavern bill of fare, including burgers, pizzas, wings, salads, sandwiches and appetizers. The first Goat opened in 2003 in New Albany, followed by another location in Gahanna.

street to a bigger location.

The nine-year-old bar now occupies a 2,700square-foot spot at 2096 W. Henderson Road.

Owner Jason Eisenhauer said he completely rebuilt the interior of the space, which used to be a salon. He’s also in the process of building a patio.

On a related note, the pub has introduced food service, although it’s limited because there is no hood system. The menu includes traditional tavern fare, such as subs, panini sandwiches, pizza and The UA Pub has moved just a hair down the wings.

Wrestling

Weight classes 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 4-6 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 See WRESTLING, page C4

Club Soccer

Two OP teams advance to semis

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 Tourney coverage, it to a semifinal last year. pgs. C2-C3 However, Crew Juniors Under-19 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 representatives 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 1-0 on penalty kicks.

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 121.

“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.”

Former Dublin Scioto and Ohio State standout Jay Richardson speaks with those attending his camp June 24 at Scioto. The camp was for boys ages 11-18 and focused on teaching life skills.

Camp 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 good grades, so we’re teaching them how to do those other things right.”

Those messages were conveyed by guest speakers who included area court, police and military officials.

Michael Carter, who will be entering sixth grade at Tree of Life, said he learned a lot from the presentations.

Women’s Basketball

Area players hone skills with Hidden Gems

By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers

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 See OVERVIEW, page C4 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.

After graduating from Scioto, Young played two seasons for

Muskingum and two seasons for Salem International, a Division II school in Salem, W.Va. She then served one season as a student-assistant coach and graduated from Talladega College.

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Team Ohio F.C.

U-18 boys settle for 2nd in pool play

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Team Ohio F.C. Blast Under-18 boys soccer team found itself with a shortened bench in the Midwest Regional Cup in Fox Cities, Wis., after defender Angelo Pagani and midfielder Drew Pang were injured in the first game.

Despite the loss of those starters, Team Ohio Blast managed to go 1-0-1 in its first two pool-play games, tying CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati at 2 on June 25 and beating the Michigan Wolves 3-0 on June 26.

However, it couldn’t overcome the ejection of starting defender Max Rohda less than 20 minutes into its final game of pool play June 27 and lost to the KCFC Rangers from Kansas 1-0.

The KCFC Rangers won their four-team pool with a 3-0 record and nine points to advance to a semifinal June 28, while Team Ohio Blast finished second (11-1, 4).

“That was a nightmare because we had a player sent off the field for a penalty that didn’t happen,” coach Steve Dawson said.

“We had three players collide and the referee gave (Rohda) a red card out of it.

They got a penalty shot on that play, too, and our goalkeeper (A.J. Fleak) made a great save to keep us in the game. Our team dealt with the situation the best they could and Colton Bloecher had a couple of great opportunities where he could have scored, as did Frazier Fernandes. But it was tough to play with 10 men because it was warm and it was our third game in three days. Our players grew tired as the game wore on and we finally gave up a goal with about 20 minutes left.”

Jesus Villarroel and Bloecher each scored goals to help Team Ohio Blast rally from a 2-0 deficit to tie CUP Crew Juniors.

The following day, Bloecher, Villarroel and Fernandes scored as Team Ohio Blast defeated the Michigan Wolves.

“We had some injuries, but we played well overall and came one win away from making it past group play,” Dawson said.

•The Team Ohio Green U17 boys team went 0-1-2 to finish third in its pool with two points behind Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors (3-0, 9) and Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier (1-1-1, 4).

Team Ohio Green opened June 25 by tying Shattuck-St. Mary’s from Minnesota at 1, as Ray Gans scored the tying goal on a penalty kick with 20 minutes remaining.

The next day, Team Ohio Green battled Elm Grove Premier to a scoreless tie behind goalkeeper A.J. Tresoline.

“It’s frustrating because we played better than both those teams and should have beaten them, but we didn’t finish our chances,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We played great defense, but we didn’t score enough to win.”

On June 27, Team Ohio Green lost to the Grand Rapids Crew Juniors 4-2 despite goals from Ryan Magee and Trevin Pitroff.

The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors, who are ranked first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, outscored their first two opponents 11-0.

2011 Midwest Regional Cup

Classics Eagles

Missed chances haunt U-13 boys team

By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Even though the Classics Eagles Under-13 boys soccer team had squandered several scoring chances against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning in its Midwest Regional Cup opener June 25, coach Mike Lentz felt comfortable with a late one-goal lead because his squad was dominating possession.

However, those missed opportunities came back to haunt the Classics Eagles.

A Lightning player drew a foul 19 yards from the team’s goal with under a minute

left and scored on a free kick to tie the game at 1.

That tie proved costly to the Classics Eagles in the tournament in Fox Cities, Wis. They lost to Vardar from Michigan 4-0 the following day and eventually finished third in their four-team pool with a 1-1-1 record and four points behind Cleveland Pacesetter (2-1, 6) and Vardar (2-1, 6).

Out of the Classics Eagles’pool, only Cleveland Pacesetter advanced to a regional semifinal June 28. Cleveland Pacesetter finished first on a tiebreaker because it had beaten Vardar.

Nick Teutsch beat three defenders en route to scoring on a low, hard shot just inside the far post to put the Classics Eagles ahead 1-0 in the first half against the Lightning.

Will Bolton almost made it 2-0 with 20 minutes left, but his shot hit the left post.

“We had total ball control and we only gave up one shot on goal each half, so I felt pretty comfortable in the way we were playing even after we missed out on all of those chances to score a second goal,” Lentz said. “But we got called for a foul and gave up that late goal, and

it took away our momentum and confidence. Had we won that game, I’d like to think we’d have played much better against Vardar. Knowing we had to beat Vardar to have a chance to win our pool, we pushed forward a little more than usual, which left us more vulnerable defensively. And we just didn’t match Vardar’s intensity.”

The Classics Eagles concluded pool play June 27 with a 2-0 victory over Cleveland Pacesetter.

A.J. Smith scored what would become the winner 12 minutes into the game from 25 yards out.

In the second half, Teutsch scored off an assist from Jake Harr and goalkeeper A.J. Smith made a diving save to his left to preserve the shutout.

“That was the best we’ve played all spring,” Lentz said.

“We dismantled them in every category, especially when it came to shots on goal and time of possession. It was nice to beat our group winner. We finished a great spring run with a commanding performance.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Ohio Premier

Eagles advance two girls squads to semis

By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Ohio Premier Eagles advanced two of four girls soccer teams to Midwest Regional Cup semifinals after pool play concluded June 27 in Fox Cities, Wis. Ohio Premier went 10-2 overall in pool play.

The Under-13 and U-16 squads both went 3-0 in pool play and played in semifinals June 28. The regional winners in the U-14 through U-19 age groups, which were determined June 29, advanced to the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in Phoenix on July 27-31.

The Eagles U-13 team played Eclipse Select of Illinois in its semifinal. Eclipse is a familiar opponent for Ohio Premier.

“Unfortunately, our semifinal is the one that everyone says should be the final, but in a blind draw, this happens,” coach Kevin Dougherty said. “We’re friends with the Eclipse and know a lot about them.

They have a huge organization that draws from a large area. We’ve played all five of their 13U club teams, but then they combine their best players for the tournaments. They have many very special players.”

The Eagles defeated Carmel (Ind.) United SC Elite 3-1 to open pool play. They then beat Greater Toledo FC 5-0 and advanced to a semifinal by beating Centennial (Minn.) 4-0.

Against Carmel, Kristen McFarland scored twice and Alivia Milesky also scored. Sam Grim made four saves but allowed a late goal. She then earned the shutout against Toledo, as McFarland scored and assisted on goals by Madison Moroi and Aubrei Corder. Milesky and Bailey Williams also scored.

Against Centennial, Moroi had two goals. Corder and McFarland also scored and Grim and Parker Myers were rarely challenged in net.

“We scored three goals in the first nine minutes and just began moving girls around, having some fun, working on some things and just trying not to get anyone injured,” Dougherty said.

•The U-16 team had to get past Eclipse Select in pool play to advance, and the Eagles did that in dramatic fashion in the finale to move on to a semifinal against KC Force on June 28.

The Eagles beat Eclipse Select on the 10th penalty kick after neither team had scored entering the penalty kicks sessions. Both teams scored on two of five penalty kicks to force the extra one-kick rounds, where they matched each other’s efforts until Bailey Wilson converted in the 10th round after Eagles goalkeeper Anna Rosa James-Buhigas had stopped Eclipse’s 10th kick.

James-Buhigas made five saves in the penalty kicks phase.

“She was unbelievable and came up with huge saves when we needed them,” said coach Chris King, whose team outscored its opponents 10-0 in pool play. “Usually, you tell the keeper to get one save in (penalty kicks) and we’ll win it. She had

saves on five of 10 penalty kicks and they were off frame with another. She was just outstanding.”

The Eagles won their first two games 7-0 against KC Fusion and 3-0 against Michigan Football Club to put themselves into a points tie with Eclipse before their showdown.

“The maximum goal-differential in tiebreakers here is four per game, so both us and Eclipse had seven total points entering (the June 27 pool finale),” said King, who also guided the Eagles’ U-18 team to the regional tournament. “We knew going into it that there had to be a winner and that it could go to penalty kicks. One team was going to the semifinal and the other was going home.”

Two years ago, the clubs played in the U-16 regional championship and the Eclipse won in a shootout to send the Eagles home.

Against the Fusion, the Eagles used three goals from Lindsay Agnew and one apiece from Nicole Hopkins, Alexis Milesky, Hannah O’Shaughnessy and Brooke Maletic. O’Shaughnessy, Milesky and Agnew scored against Michigan Football Club.

The defense was strong in front of James-Buhigas, who made just five total saves in the first two pool games.

•The U-19 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance.

The Eagles opened by beating Dynamo of Indiana 5-1 before losing to defending regional champion Eclipse (Ill.) 3-0 and beating Bloomfield (Mich.)

5-1 in the finale.

Casey Barrett. Shannon Flowers made three saves.

Against Eclipse, the teams played a scoreless first half. The Eagles trailed 1-0 with about 10 minutes left when they changed their strategy to try to apply more offensive pressure.

“The first half was evenly contested, but we should’ve scored first and led at half,” coach Matt Ogden said. “We needed at least a draw, so it didn’t matter if the final was 1-nil or 3-nil. We had 13 players and they wore us down in the second half. But if we score first, we can play a little different style and try to preserve the lead and get a positive result.”

The Eagles got goals from Barrett, Gross, Andrea Hulls and Amber Kern in the finale, as well as an own-goal from Bloomfield.

“We had nothing to play for, so we made it a farewell game for these girls who have played together for a long time,” Ogden said. “Flowers marshaled the box pretty well, but we controlled tempo and possession throughout after we fell behind 10. We definitely feel that we are a team worthy of advancing, but it wasn’t meant to be. If we played Eclipse on a different day, things might have been different. But we made mistakes and that’s soccer.

We came back and played hearts-out and that was fantastic.”

•The U-18 team went 2-1 in pool play and did not advance.

The Eagles lost their opener 3-1 to KCFC Intensity. They beat Eden Prairie (Minn.) 2-1 and then won 5-2 over Dakota Alliance Black of South Dakota.

King was disappointed by the opening loss, but credited the Intensity.

“That’s the best team we’ve played in the last two seasons,” King said. “We were down 2-1 and gave ourselves a couple good chances to even it up. But we were unable to do that and we started pressing and got caught forward. We exposed ourselves and they got the extra goal.”

Ashley Gruenbaum scored for Ohio Premier.

The Eagles trailed Eden Prairie 1-0 after allowing a goal just before halftime. But Jesse Sabers tied it and Michela Paradiso scored the winner with around 11 minutes remaining. Goalie Abbey Smith preserved the win from there. bemerine@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

GEMS Continued from page C1 “(The Women’s Blue Chip League) is good competition, especially when you get to nationals,” Young said. “I like the fact that you get an opportunity to play and it gives you the opportunity to get looked at overseas. 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.

The roles of Young and cocaptain Lorrie Poindexter, a 2003 Beechcroft graduate in her second year playing for Columbus,

Sports briefs are more extensive than a year ago when former Ohio State player Brandie Hoskins and former Bowling Green player Niki McCoy were among the key players.

Jeannie Saunders, who also was a captain a year ago, has been out with an injury but could return in July.

Saunders and 2006 Delaware graduate Ashleigh Brown, who has played limited minutes with the Hidden Gems this season because of other commitments, recently signed extensions to play for a team in Sweden in the fall. Jamika Banks, a Fort Wayne, Ind., native who also was expected to play for Columbus, currently is playing in Australia.

Catherine Cain, a Dayton native, has been averaging 19 points and 12 rebounds. Jessica Slack, a Thornville Sheridan graduate, averages 13 points.

The other central Ohio natives on the Hidden Gems are 1999 Brookhaven graduate Ebony Pegues, 2001 Mifflin graduate

Sherrie Griffin, 2006 Africentric graduate Janicia Anderson and 2003 Walnut Ridge graduate Tina Huff.

Columbus has three games remaining in the regular season before competing in the regional tournament in late July in Flint, Mich.

The national tournament will be held Aug. 6-7 in Atlanta.

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. By the time we get to Atlanta, we’ll be fine.” julrey@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

WRESTLING Continued from page C1 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 season.

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

June 29, 2011

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 275pound class was increased to 285.

The NFHS also adopted a rule change involving the figure four hold around the head, which now is illegal. Previously, the figure four was illegal around the body or both legs.

“I like the new rule, it will work out,” Grant said. “The fig-

ure four is unfair. 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

Classes offered in football officiating The Reynoldsburg Parks & Recreation Department is offering high school football officiating classes from 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesdays and Sundays, beginning Tuesday, July 5, in the city’s police building, 7240 E. Main St. The classes will be taught

Learn at the Zoo

While living here she became part of an important breeding program. She mothered 20 eaglets that were released into the wild. Then in 2008 we received great news that bald eagles were down listed to Threatened in Ohio! Here’s a picture of one of her eaglets born at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Juvenile eagles look very different from adult eagles. The eagle’s first feathers are all brown, including their head and tail; like this picture of Cheyenne who lives at the Zoo too.

They also have a dark beak that turns yellow as they mature. These changes take place during the first five years of their life.

Tennis

Columbus team wins Ohio Valley Davis Cup

By PAUL BATTERSON ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Tyler Stephen, who recently was named coach of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team, will enter his new job this fall with a fresh perspective of the sport in central Ohio.

Stephen and Worthington Kilbourne boys tennis coach Steve Metzmaier guided an 11-player team of some of the area’s top boys and girls tennis players to a firstplace finish in the Ohio Valley Davis Cup

on June 18-19 in Charleston, W.Va. “It was kind of nice to have all that talent on the same team,” said Stephen, who also is coach of the Thomas Worthington boys team. “Most of the time these kids are competing against each other in tournaments, so they all knew each other. But it was a little different 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 Elaine Cloern and Watterson’s 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, 62 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.” pbatterson@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Baseball

Buckeye Elite to attract more than 200 teams

By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Gymnasts compete in nationals (From left) Hannah Barker, McKenzie Coleman, Jaden Miller and Andie Van Voorhis of Universal Gymnastics Inc. of Hilliard recently competed in Junior Olympic competitions. Barker, Coleman and Miller, all Level 9 gymnasts, competed May 6-7 in the Eastern Nationals in Boston, where Coleman won the uneven bars. Van Voorhis, who is Level 10, finished ninth in the all-around in the National Invitational Tournament on May 15 in Long Beach, Calif.

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 U-18. 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. Worthingtonbased Big League Baseball School will conduct the invitation-only event.

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 on-field 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 fourteam pools in U-16, 14 three-team pools in U-15 and four five-team pools in U-14.

In U-18, the winner of each pool will advance to gold championship single-elimination play, leading up to the gold championship game on July 10 at Huntington Park. The second-place team in each pool will compete in silver championship play, with the final 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 U14, 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 program is expected to field teams in the U-14, U-15 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 at before we head off to the World Series.”

Grove City coach Ryan Alexander said competing in summer tournaments are key to the program’s success. He led the Greyhounds to a Division I state semifinal this spring, losing to Liberty Township Lakota East 7-2 on June 2 at Huntington Park.

Grove City will have teams in the U-16 and U-18 divisions.

“This is a tournament that has some of the best teams in the state and best teams in the nation,” Alexander said. “It’s a great summer tournament. These kids end up seeing a lot of the same guys that they’ve seen already all year long playing on these summer travel teams.”
