Jerome defends state title

Celtics repeat as state champs

By JARROD ULREY THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

By AARON BLANKENSHIP THISWEEKSPORTS.COM

An example of how close the scoring was in the Division I state tournament came just after the Dublin Jerome High School girls golf team took its final shot Oct. 20 at Ohio State’s Gray Course.

That’s when coach C.D. Butcher began breaking the news to his players that they’d come up short by one stroke behind Medina Highland.

It wasn’t until Butcher started receiving congratulations a few minutes later that he and his players fully learned the difference a shot or two can make during a two-day tournament.

The Celtics, who won the championship by 14 strokes a year ago, shot 629 to edge Highland by one stroke for the title.

Jerome would have lost the tiebreaker based on fifth-player score.

“I thought we were down three with three holes to go, but we came through,” Butcher said. “I told all the girls that we had lost by one stroke, but (then) my wife actually said ‘Congratulations,’ and I said, ‘For what?’ I’m still sort of stunned.”

Jerome shot 313 during the opening round Oct. 19 to trail both Highland (311) and Massillon Jackson (309). Then in

The five members of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team who competed in the Division I state tournament didn’t have time to feel disappointed after none captured a championship.

After competing Oct. 19 and 20 at Ohio State and Elysium Tennis Center in Plain City, the Celtics bounced back the following day to win their second consecutive Division I Ohio Tennis Coaches Association state team title.

On Oct. 21 at Reynoldsburg, Jerome beat Rocky River Magnificat 3-0 in a state semifinal and Cincinnati Ursuline Academy 3-0 in the final.

“It certainly helped us get rid of any bad taste we had in our mouths to be able to finish our season by winning state as a team,” said coach Tyler Stephen, whose squad finished 22-0 overall in dual matches.

“I don’t even think any of our girls should have had a bad taste in their mouths after the state tournament because they competed well and they just fell a little short of their goals there. But they’re a competitive group and it’s really nice that we were able to end our season by winning a state championship as a team.”

Coffman boys team rips Comets

By FRANK DIRENNA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM The Dublin Coffman High School boys soccer team used its Division I district tournament second-round game against Central Crossing in part to prepare for what the Shamrocks expected to be more challenging games ahead.

The fourth-seeded Shamrocks, who had a first-round bye, earned a spot in a district semifinal with an 8-0 win Oct. 20 over the Comets at home.

“We put the ball in the net, got some confidence and played pretty well,” coach Steve Watts said. “We could have finished a few more chances than we did, but we moved the ball and built some confidence.”

Coffman was 12-4-1 before playing St. Charles at home on Oct. 24.

The ninth-seeded Cardinals defeated 20th-seeded Dublin Jerome 1-0 on Oct. 20 at home, winning the game on penalty kicks 2-1.

The semifinal winner plays fifth-seeded Westerville Central or eighth-seeded Pickerington Central in a district final at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, at Westerville South.

Coffman defeated Westerville Central 1-0 on Aug. 23.

The district champion plays Canal Winchester, Gahanna, Hilliard Darby or Olentangy in a regional semifinal Wednesday, Oct. 31.

Last season, Coffman finished 12-8-1 overall, losing to Olentangy Liberty 3-1 in a regional final. The Patriots lost to Cleveland St. Ignatius 4-2 in the state final.

Against Central Crossing, the Shamrocks put away the Comets by scoring six goals in the second half.

“The first half was shakier than we expected, we just couldn’t put the ball in the net, but the second half shaped up how we wanted it to,” senior goalkeeper Trent Rantala said.

“That’s what we were expecting. Goals-wise, I think we could have had more, but it was a good turnout.”

Noah Carver and Justin Garcia each scored three goals, and Patrick Gualtieri and Marcus Manarolla each had one.

With the Shamrocks in control, Watts was able to use three goalkeepers.

Rantala played the first 60 minutes, with senior Kyle White and freshman Joe Zaborski splitting the remaining 20 minutes.

“We wanted to have a good showing and not be sloppy and have some momentum going,” Watts said. “I saw the score from when we beat them earlier in the year, so this was kind of what we expected.”

Coffman defeated Central Crossing 8-1 in an OCC-Central Division game Sept. 18.

Scioto boys lose to Thomas The Scioto boys team lost to 11th-seeded and host Thomas Worthington 3-0 in a first-round game Oct. 17.

The Irish finished 4-11-1.

Senior goalkeeper Josh Ashwill made 12 saves, and Thomas scored its goals on defensive breakdowns, according to coach Chad Snider.

“We forget the back-side runs and follow-ups,” Snider said. “Josh made two incredible saves (before) the first two goals and we just stopped. The third one we just let the guy go. It was simple, young mistakes that kind of came back to haunt us.”

“We lost six Division I caliber players to graduation the past two years, so to move up from fourth to third was a big accomplishment,” Woodmansee said. “There were a lot of bumps in the road and we were only seeded fifth in our district based on what we did in the regular season. A lot of our kids were playing in this tournament for the first time and I think we were a little uptight the first day when we shot a 325 to tie New Albany for fifth place. But we were loose and relaxed (Oct. 20) and we peaked at the right time.”

Scioto trying to keep firm grasp on Hard Rd.

By BRAD EMERINE THISWEEKSPORTS.COM Members of the Worthington Kilbourne High School football team would enjoy nothing more than to end a frustrating season by sending Dublin Scioto into the Division I, Region 3 playoffs on a sour note.

The teams meet Friday, Oct. 26, at Kilbourne in the annual Battle of Hard Road.

“For some of our kids, this rivalry is bigger than the rivalry with Thomas (Worthington)

because we weren’t allowed to play (Thomas) for several years,” Wolves coach Vince Trombetti said. “We’ve only played Thomas like five times, and the rivalry with Scioto began when they opened in 1995.”

The Wolves and Irish play for a hunk of asphalt from Hard Road, with the significance dating back to when Scioto was built 2.7 miles from Kilbourne.

“When they were building Scioto, Hard Road was all torn up,” Trombetti said. “Our coach then was Jeff Gafford and he

grabbed a piece of the asphalt and that’s what we play for. It’s painted and part of a trophy now, but it’s a big deal for all of us.”

Kilbourne leads the series 11-7, but Scioto has won the last two, including 34-19 last season. The Irish will be seeking an unprecedented third consecutive win in the series. They won the first two meetings in 1995 (21-7) and 1996 (66-28) and back-to-back meetings in 2002 (44-21) and 2003 (10-7).

MINI DENTAL IMPLANTS ARE A LOWER COST OPTION!!!

In the past, when a patient lost a tooth, there were only a few options for replacing that lost tooth. They could have a full or partial denture made, or the tooth could be replaced with cemented custom bridgework.

Now, a simpler, less invasive procedure can replace one or more missing teeth while saving the patient hard earned money at the same time. A missing tooth can be replaced with a Mini Dental Implant and a few Mini Dental Implants can be placed to add stability to loose fitting upper and lower dentures.

One of the advantages of a single dental implant over traditional options is the teeth next to the missing tooth need not be prepared, or ground down as is necessary for bridgework. Using implants allows the surrounding natural teeth to be saved and left undisturbed.

Mini dental implants cost less than traditional or standard sized implants, and in most cases there is significantly less time involved from start to finish when a mini implant can be used to replace a missing implant.

BOYS FROM >> B1 Selamet said. “When I missed my first putt, I saw how deflated the crowd was and I almost started crying because I thought for sure that we were done.”

But after Selamet finished with a bogey, the Celtics watched Wolters miss three consecutive putts en route to a quadruple bogey.

As a result, Jerome won the state title with a score of 630.

The Celtics finished the twoday tournament one stroke ahead of Centerville, which would have won the fifth-score tiebreaker.

“I was a train wreck watching those last few holes because I knew we were down by two strokes with one hole to play and Centerville’s such a good team,” Zesiger said. “I thought Mert’s putt was going in because I watched him make at least five of those for par earlier in the tournament. But all of our kids have that mentality that every stroke on every hole matters, and give Mert credit for coming back to make bogey.”

Zesiger was quick to defend Wolters, who shot a 157 to tie for ninth, earn second-team allstate honors and keep his team in the hunt for the title.

“I’m in awe of what can transpire in 60 seconds on four putts,” Zesiger said. “(Wolters) is a great player and it tore my heart out to see him melt down that way. But this is competitive golf and I’m sure that you could find shots that all of their

guys would like to have back over the course of 631 shots.

That last hole alone wasn’t what won the tournament. It was just magnified because it happened at the very end. I just feel fortunate that we were able to win state once again.”

The Celtics have won five state championships in nine years as a program.

Jerome also won Division I state titles in 2005, 2007 and 2011, and it captured the Division II state championship in 2004. The Celtics’boys and girls teams swept the Division I state titles in 2005, last year and this season; Jerome is the only school to accomplish that feat.

Selamet shot 153 (73-80) to finish fourth and earn first-team all-state honors.

Senior Chad Howard shot 157 (79-78) to tie Wolters for ninth and earn second-team allstate honors, and junior Brady Bohl shot 161 (75-86) to tie five other players for 12th.

Also competing for Jerome were sophomore J.D. Fletcher (tied for 22nd, 80-83-163) and senior Michael Harris (tied for 38th, 86-82-168).

The Celtics shot 307 the first day to take a four-stroke lead over Centerville, but the Elks shot 197 on the front nine Oct. 20 to take a four-stroke lead over Jerome.

“Centerville got off to a fast start (Oct. 20) and we leaked enough oil to put a scare in all of us, but we righted the ship in time to win,” Zesiger said.

“Chad Howard made up six strokes by himself on the back nine against the Centerville kid he was matched up against, and Jerome’s Mert Selamet chips onto the No. 11 green Oct. 19 during the first round of the Division I all five guys contributed to this state golf tournament. LORRIE CECIL/THISWEEKSPORTS win. All 19 guys in our program worked hard and did the right things all year and they all deserve credit for this championship. That just makes it all the more special.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com

TENNIS FROM >> B1 ment, the first doubles team of Rhiannon James and Emma Stein went 2-0.

In the semifinal, Caitlyn Merzbacher won at third singles and Ellee Bullock and Maddy Easdale won at second doubles.

In the final, Sarah Stein won at second singles and Bullock and Sophia Gomez won at second doubles.

Lauren Bellinger played first singles against both opponents but didn’t get to finish either match because Jerome already had won three of the other courts.

“We knew we are the best team in the state and we proved it,” Stephen said. “Sometimes you see teams that have the most talent lose, but our girls handled our expectations well and they never got complacent.

We won doubles fairly easily in both matches, and that’s a sign of how deep we are.”

On Oct. 15, Jerome defeated New Albany 3-1 in an OTCA district final as Merzbacher won at third singles, James and Emma Stein won at first doubles and Bullock and Gomez won at second doubles.

The Celtics also beat New Albany 3-2 during a regularseason match Sept. 21, marking the only time Jerome lost on more than one court in a dual match while going 44-0 overall the past two seasons.

“New Albany is deeper than the Dead Sea and we have a ton of respect for them,” Stephen said. “We’re more talented than we were when we won state last year, but the competition has improved, too, and New Albany was a dangerous team. We went into all three of these matches knowing that we had to play our best tennis, and the way we came

together as a team is completely unmatched.”

The Stein sisters went 3-1 and finished second in doubles at state, marking the third consecutive year Sarah Stein has reached a Division I state final.

In 2010, Bellinger and Sarah Stein lost in the state doubles final. Last year, Bellinger and Sarah Stein rallied to defeat Watterson’s Lauren Ghidotti and Katie Shepherd 0-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) in the state final to become the first doubles team in state tournament history to bounce back from a 6-0 loss in the first set to win a final.

The Steins opened state with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Cincinnati Sycamore’s Alexa Abele and Maggie Skwara before defeating Toledo Notre Dame Academy’s Teagan McNamara and Alicia Nahhas 6-0, 6-2.

In a semifinal, the Steins defeated Ghidotti and Shepherd 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (9-7). They lost to New Albany sisters Cristina and Francesca DiLorenzo 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 in the final.

“The semifinal was a very crazy, emotional match because those four girls know each other so well,” Stephen said. “Sarah and Emma just did a great job of staying positive and confident even after Watterson came back from 63 to tie it at 7-all in the tiebreaker. The Steins played really well against New Albany, too, but the DiLorenzos just played the big points a little better.”

Bullock and Merzbacher went 2-2 and finished fourth in doubles.

They opened with a 6-4, 64 win over Chagrin Falls Kenston’s Natasha Birze and Amanda Marchant and beat Liberty Township Lakota East’s Taylor Holden and Maddy Mueck 6-2, 7-5 in the second round.

honors.

Although Erana doublebogeyed No. 16 in the opening round and bogeyed the hole the next day, she shot 37 on the back nine in both rounds.

Next season, her sister Mariana Erana could join her and Toth as key players. Mariana is an eighth-grader who often shot in the 70s as a member of the Grizzell Middle School boys team this fall.

“This feeling is irreplaceable,” Maite Erana said. “I’m really, really happy because all the hard work has come through.”

She said the Celtics were determined to bounce back from their runner-up finish in the district tournament Oct. 9 at Cooks Creek. That day, both Jerome and Dublin Coffman shot 314, but the Shamrocks won the tiebreaker on fifthplayer score.

Also competing at state for the Celtics were senior Jenna DiPaolo, sophomore Sybil Robinson and freshman Kennedy Jackson.

DiPaolo shot 80 in the opening round and 81 in the second for a 161 that gave her a 25thplace finish.

Robinson shot rounds of 86 and 81 for a 167 that tied her for 32nd. Jackson shot 95 and 103 for a 198.

A year ago, 2012 graduate Joon-Hee Shim shot 151 to tie

the final round, Jackson stumbled to a 328 but the Celtics carded 316 and Highland shot 319.

Junior Lexie Toth was four strokes out of the lead after shooting 71 in the first round but settled for a tie for fourth (149) with Lexington’s TheresaAnn Jedra after shooting 78 in the final round. Highland senior Jessica Porvasnik, who shot a state-record 68 for 18 holes in the opening round, shot 72 on Oct. 20 to win medalist honors with a 140.

The only other players to finish ahead of Toth were Avon Lake sophomore Nikolette Schroeder (147) and North Canton Hoover senior MacKenzie DiPietro (148).

“I didn’t finish well in my last three holes,” said Toth, who double-bogeyed No. 16 and bogeyed No. 17 before getting par on No. 18. “But I putted really well the whole weekend.

I only had two three-putts for the two days, so that helped me a lot.

“It feels a lot better than last year. It’s a lot more meaningful the second time since it’s a repeat and the (Jerome) boys won, too.”

While Toth made first-team all-state, sophomore Maite Erana shot 76 during both rounds for a 152 that gave her a ninth-place tie with four others and second-team all-state

Coffman volleyball team reaches semifinal The Dublin Coffman High School girls volleyball team opened the Division I district tournament Oct. 17 at home with a 25-12, 25-14, 25-18 victory over Groveport.

The top-seeded Shamrocks were 20-3 before playing No. 12 Mount Vernon in a semifinal Oct. 24 at Big Walnut.

The winner advances to a final against fifth-seeded Hilliard Bradley or seventhseeded Olentangy at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, at Big Walnut.

That winner advances to a regional semifinal Nov. 1 at Hilliard Davidson against Massillon Jackson, North Canton Hoover, Uniontown Lake or Wooster.

Irish showed improvement Scioto opened the Division I district tournament Oct. 16 at home with a 25-16, 25-14, 25-12 win over New Albany.

Junior setter Casey Mandeville had 29 assists, sophomore outside hitter Satsuki Kubo had 10 kills and five aces and senior libero Alexa Pothoven had 21 digs.

The 16th-seeded Irish then lost to 11th-seeded and host Grove City 25-17, 30-28, 2515 in the second round Oct. 18.

Coach Jackie Helm said she was proud her team finished 10-13 overall and won a tournament match after going 3-

20 and losing in the first round of district a year ago.

“The girls definitely felt like they had something to prove heading into the first round, as they were well aware that New Albany came after us in the tournament draw,” said Helm, whose squad finished 5-9 in the OCCCardinal Division. “Unfortunately, we started off the first (game) slow and found ourselves in a hole down (7-0). I called a timeout; we regrouped and never looked back.

“We finished the match playing the best volleyball we have all season. It was a total team effort and a very balanced offensive attack as McKenzie Schuster, Maddie Wilcox, Kelsey

Esterline, Ashton Pfeiffer and Satsuki Kubo each posted five or more kills. The defense was led by three seniors: captain and libero Alexa Pothoven and defensive specialists Kelly Clark and Taylor Martin.”

“To win (state) by one shot is amazing,” DiPaolo said. “We all got together (after the opening round) and had an ice cream party, and we made little inspirational cards. Since I’m a senior I gave everyone a motivational speech, saying, ‘Play your game and stay focused.’We knew if we would be patient, everything would fall for us.”

“Two of us were here from the team that was at state two years ago, and they gave us some advice to help us,” Taylor said. “I think it’s good that we were here because it got us all the experience and next year hopefully we’ll do even better.

I think the most exciting thing about this year was winning the district title.”

Coffman went 24-0 to win the OCC-Capital ahead of Hilliard Bradley (17-7), Marysville (16-8), Worthington Kilbourne (12-12), Westerville Central (11-13), Westerville South (4-20) and Westerville North (0-24). The Shamrocks have won four consecutive league titles.

“First of all I’ve got to give credit to Jerome and C.D. Butcher,” Coffman coach Randy Patton said. “It’s tough to get there and it’s tough to stay there. We struggled around the greens all weekend. I think it got a little into our heads, but we’re proud to be district champs, sectional champs and OCC champs and with everything we’ve accomplished. All of our girls are coming back, and looking at things at the end of the day, fourth in the state is not a bad thing.”

FOOTBALL FROM >> B4 Their others wins came in 2006 (27-24) and 2010 (31-14). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the trophy in a while and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get it back,â&#x20AC;? Trombetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a playoff team and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our last game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior night and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have 'senior tackle' after the game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a cherry on top of it all to bring the trophy back to its home.â&#x20AC;?

Scioto is 7-2 overall and 51 in the OCC-Cardinal Division and Kilbourne, which has won two of its last three games, is 3-6 and 2-4.

The Wolves will need to contain a Scioto offense that is averaging 36.4 points. The Irish have scored at least 28 points in each of their wins and have scored 42 or more points five times.

Scioto's losses have come against Dublin Coffman (3414 on Aug. 31) and Hilliard Darby (28-24 on Oct. 12). Both teams are both 9-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have our hands full because they have a lot of weapons,â&#x20AC;? Trobetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a quarterback (Evan DeMars) who throws it well and a running back (Will Houston) who can hit you with some big runs.â&#x20AC;?

DeMars has completed 203 of 281 passes for 2,351 yards and Houston has rushed for 968 yards on 202 carries and has 12 touchdowns. DeMars' primary target is Tim Shadoan, who has 71 receptions for 940 yards and has scored 16 touchdowns.

The Irish has two other receivers with 30 or more receptions through eight games in Darius McDonald (37 for 336 yards) and Mason Matheny (30 for 354 yards).

Kilbourne is averaging 20.9 points and allowing 19.1. The Wolves have lost four games by seven points or fewer.

Kilbourne is coming off a 26-6 victory over winless Westerville North on Oct. 19. The Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; points came on a 20yard fumble return for a touchdown, giving them a 6-0 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start well because they scored first on a scoop-and-score,â&#x20AC;? Trombetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we took control.

Our defense was extremely good. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played well defensively most of the season, but I think this was our best effort.

It shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a shutout.â&#x20AC;?

Kilbourne limited North to 159 total yards. Linebacker Josh Happ led the defense with 12 tackles. Defensive back Eric Wahoff had nine tackles, defensive lineman Gavin Elifritz had eight and defensive end D.J.

Sciotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tim Shadoan is tackled after a catch against Hilliard Darby on Oct. 12. The Irish will play Friday, Oct. 26, at Worthington Kilbourne. EAMON QUEENEY/THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Week 10 at a glance

UPPER ARLINGTON at COFFMAN â&#x20AC;˘When: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26 â&#x20AC;˘Last meeting: 2011, UA 19-13 â&#x20AC;˘Top Golden Bears: Gus Ackley (RB), Chris Frey (RB/LB), Chase Greenlee (RB/LB), Kyle Kaparos (QB), Nick Milo (OL/DL), Jack Mueller (LB), Noah Spielman (OL/DL) and Sam Wheeler (WR/DB) â&#x20AC;˘Top Shamrocks: Ian Flinders (LB), Miles McCollum (DL), Zack Murdock (OL), Austen Rankin (WR), Spencer Rhoades (DL), James Walsh (QB), Bilal Williamson (RB) and Tanner Zinni (OL) â&#x20AC;˘UA (5-4 overall, 4-2 OCC-Central) to date: Defeated Walnut Ridge 4320; lost to Cincinnati Elder 45-7; lost to Gahanna 45-7; def.

Thomas Worthington 56-14; def. Central Crossing 53-6; def. Westland 6913; def. Liberty 36-28 â&#x20AC;˘What to expect: UAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running game has been highly effective the past two weeks, as the Bears rushed for 223 yards against Marysville on Oct. 12 and ran for 440 against Westland on Oct. 19. Ackley is the backbone of their offense with 1,050 yards rushing and 14 rushing touchdowns, but Frey also is a capable running threat to help ease the burden on Kaparos,

Freer and defensive backs Chandler Bridges and Seth Hill each had seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seth Hill has been our quiet hero,â&#x20AC;? Trombetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

a sophomore who has thrown for 615 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions.

Until its game against Liberty on Oct. 19, Coffman hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won by fewer than 20 points and had won its first eight games by an average of 37.8 points. Walsh, an Ohio University recruit, is 104-for-157 passing for 1,719 yards with 15 touchdowns and three interceptions. Williamson leads the Shamrocks with 1,208 yards rushing and 23 touchdowns. â&#x20AC;˘Last week: Ackley rushed for 202 yards and three touchdowns (45, 18 and 20 yards) and Frey had two touchdown runs (19 and 1 yards) and scored on a 99-yard kickoff return, as UA raised its record above .500 for the first time since defeating Walnut Ridge in the season opener. Alex Husted added a 56-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

Williamson rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns to help Coffman stay undefeated, but the Shamrocks had to hold off Liberty after leading 30-14 late in the third quarter.

Walsh was 8-for-13 passing for 169 yards and had a 15-yard touchdown pass to Zac Fouche.

JEROME at WESTERVILLE CENTRAL â&#x20AC;˘When: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 26 â&#x20AC;˘Last meeting: 2011, Central 20-7 â&#x20AC;˘Top Celtics: Tanner Barco (DB),Tyler Iffland (OL), Steve Kidwell (RB/LB), Mitch Keller (WR/K), Jake King (QB), Stephen Romanelli (WR) and Donovan Wilson (RB) â&#x20AC;˘Top Warhawks: Alfred Colson (RB/DB), Jared Drake (QB/DB), Alex Fisher (RB/LB), Charlie Moushey (WR/DB), Taribo Osuobeni (OL/LB), Mohammed Sankoh (RB/LB) and John Whitman (OL/DL) â&#x20AC;˘Jerome (4-5 overall, 3-3 OCC-

Drake has completed 87 of 183 passes for 1,176 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions and rushed for 937 yards and 11 touchdowns on 131 carries.

If the Warhawks want to finish the regular season with a victory and end a two-game losing streak, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely have to contain Wilson. The Georgia Tech recruit has rushed for 1,897 yards and 24 touchdowns on 326 carries to lead Jerome. â&#x20AC;˘Last week: Central fell behind OCCCardinal leader Darby 17-0 by halftime and could not recover against the unbeaten Panthers. Drake scored his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only touchdown on a 3yard run in the third quarter.

Jerome took playoff contender Westerville South to overtime as Wilson rushed for 424 yards and touchdowns of 56 and 55 yards on 59 carries.

Noah Prentiss caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Nick Renzetti and Torrodd Carter caught the two-point conversion pass for the winning points.
