Coffman senior Nick Sparling won the Division I state title for the second consecutive year. He carded a 70 in the first round and a 76 in the second for a 146 total, finishing four strokes ahead of the runner-up, Toledo St. John’s Jack Mancinotti (150). “It’s been fun to come back and verify what I did here last year,” Sparling said. “Other people tried to put pressure on me to win again, but my mindset was that I had nothing to lose because I had already won here before, so I didn’t feel as much pressure as I felt last year.” Sparling had a three-stroke lead after the first round, but was 5-over par through his first five holes in the second round before getting back into a groove. “A lot of kids would have folded under the pressure of playing with the lead and then finding yourself 5-over through five holes, but the way Nick fought back showed a lot about why he’s special,” coach David Woodmansee said. “I think Nick deals with pressure better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He dug down deep and turned in one of the gutsiest performances I’ve ever seen in all of sports. He played fantastic on the back stretch with a lot of birdies in this horrible weather and showed everyone that he’s a true champion.” Sparling also was OCC-Central Player of the Year for the
Robinson’s performance in round two also was crucial, as she followed an opening-round 80 with a 75 for a 155 that gave her 11th place overall and second-team all-state honors. Junior Maite Erana and her freshman sister, Marianna Erana, each shot 80 on the first day and 78 on the second for a 158 that tied them for 17th. Also competing was sophomore Reagan DiIorio (185). Jerome was four strokes out of the lead entering the final day of competition a year ago
When the weather took a turn for the worse in the second round of the Division I state tournament, Brady Bohl of the Dublin Jerome High School boys golf team heard several of his opponents complaining about having to play through the wet, chilly and windy conditions. Knowing that the Celtics had thrived under adverse conditions all season, the senior captain couldn’t help but smile. “When we got here and saw how bad the weather was, I told coach (Craig Zesiger) that if we were allowed to play in it, we were going to win because we’re the toughest team in the state,” Bohl said. “While other teams don’t like playing in this kind of weather, we do well in it, and we’ve won every tournament that’s been played in rainy and cold weather this season.” The Celtics went on to capture their third consecutive state title, winning the 36-hole, 12team tournament held Oct. 18 and 19 at Ohio State's Scarlet Course with a 641. They finished five strokes ahead of runner-up Pickerington North (646) and six ahead of thirdplace Cincinnati St. Xavier (647). Jerome became the first boys program in Ohio to win the large-school division of the state tournament three years in a row since Columbus Aquinas accomplished the feat from 1953-55.

Celtics make it three in a row By JARROD ULREY THISWEEKSPORTS.COM
As the Dublin Jerome High School girls golf team accepted the disappointment of settling for second in the Division I district tournament on a warm day Oct. 8, coach C.D. Butcher described his players as “mudders” who often play their best when the weather worsens. During the second day of the state tournament Oct. 19 on Ohio State’s Gray Course, the Celtics came through when they got the rain and cold that senSPARLING >> A17 ior Lexie Toth said they had
been “praying for.” Jerome trailed by three strokes entering the final round after an opening-round 313 on Oct. 18, but the 309 that the Celtics carded the next day gave them the championship for the third consecutive season with a 622. Massillon Jackson was second (632), followed by Rocky River Magnificat (640) and Dublin Coffman (646). Magnificat led with a 310 after the opening round. Jerome shot 627 to win the 2011 title and 629 to capture the title last year.
“We love (the bad weather),” junior Sybil Robinson said. “It really separates the good players from the players that can get away with shots in good weather. I think telling ourselves we’re good in the cold helps us.” “You lose half the field because of the cold weather,” said Toth, who shot 73 in the first round and 78 in the second for a 151 that gave her a tie for fourth with four other players as she made first-team allstate. Watterson junior Erin Harper won the individual championship with a 145.

Coffman looks to extend winning streak By SCOTT HENNEN THISWEEKSPORTS.COM
Two tough challenges stand between the Dublin Coffman High School football team and its goal of a fifth consecutive postseason appearance, and seventh in eight seasons. The Shamrocks are 5-3 overall and 4-1 in the OCC-Central Division entering a home game Friday, Oct. 25, against Olentangy Liberty, which is 44 and 3-2. Coffman has won four games in a row. “We’re getting a little healthier and I think our kids are starting to grasp the schemes that we are trying to implement,” said coach Mark Crabtree, whose team finishes the regular season Nov. 1 at Upper Arlington, which is 4-4 and 32. “I think we can improve from each game out, which is what you want to do anyway.” Coffman was projected to be 16th in Division I, Region 2 in this week’s computer ratings. The top 16 teams qualify for the playoffs. The Patriots, who have not made the playoffs the past three seasons, lost 28-7 on Oct. 18 to unbeaten Hilliard Davidson, which leads the OCC-Central at 5-0 and is ranked sixth in the Division I state poll. “Hopefully we learned about how to play at a high level for four quarters from the Davidson game,” Liberty coach Steve Hale said. Senior running back Daryian Davies rushed for 112 yards and one touchdown. Senior quarterback Matt Kessler was 15 of 28 passing for 192 yards and senior wide receiver Dan

second year in a row. He averaged a 69 over the four rounds of the league tournament, as Coffman went 28-0 to capture its second league title in three years. Upper Arlington (23-5) placed second in the OCC-Central, followed by Olentangy Liberty (19-9), Marysville (1513), Hilliard Davidson (13-15), Thomas Worthington (10-18), Central Crossing (4-24) and Westland (0-28).

team’s next opponent, Westerville South, is deceiving. South, which plays host to the Celtics on Friday, Oct. 25, in an OCC-Cardinal game, is 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the league. The Wildcats, who have lost their last four games, are averaging 31.6 points but are allowing an average of 31.8. They have given up an average of 47.3 points during their losing streak. In a 54-35 loss to Westerville Central on Oct. 18, South's defense allowed 584 total yards, including 429 rushing, which seems to bode well for the Celtics’ wing-T, power ground attack. “Even though Westerville South’s record is not as it usually is, they are very athletic and dangerous,” Hundley said. “They have two or three players that can take it all the way at any moment. Their quarterback (Timmy Bates) throws the ball well.” Bates leads the Wildcats' spread offense, having completed 112 of 206 passes for 1,576 yards with 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Running back Darien Miller has rushed for 1,032 yards and 20 touchdowns on 173 carries and Torrodd Carter is South's top receiver with 54 receptions for 841 yards and six touchdowns. Jerome improved to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in the OCCCardinal with a 30-13 win over Canal Winchester on Oct. 18. The Celtics amassed 369 total yards against the Indians, including 264 on the ground. Running back Steve Kidwell, who missed the previous
three games because of a high ankle sprain, returned to the lineup and rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Kidwell leads the team in rushing with 534 yards and six touchdowns on 82 carries. Quarterback Alex Cline completed eight of 16 passes for 105 yards with two touchdowns and an interception against the Indians. He connected with running back Ian Beith on a 25-yard touchdown pass and threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Nate Szekely, who had five catches for 66 yards. Jerome is 2-5 all-time against South, but the teams have split the past two meetings. The Wildcats won 21-20 in overtime last season after the Celtics won 34-31 in double overtime in 2011. –Frank DiRenna
Irish brace for Darby’s running game
Scioto not only will be facing its second consecutive opponent from Hilliard when it travels to Bradley on Friday, Oct. 25, but for the second time in as many weeks, it will be going against an opponent that features a strong running game. Bradley, which defeated Westerville North 21-20 on Oct. 18 to improve to 5-3 overall and 4-1 in the OCC-Cardinal, boasts an offense that is averaging 271.9 yards rushing and 30.6 points.

At a glance Pietrusik (79) all earned second-team all-league honors. “This year’s team was very inexperienced to start the season but had a lot of fantastic performances,” Woodmansee said. “They were able to beat all the best teams in the state multiple times and went undefeated in what has to be the toughest conference in central Ohio and possibly the entire state. Five of the nine teams who qualified to the district tournament from central Ohio came from our conference and Upper Arlington is always one of the top teams in the state, so to go undefeated was really difficult.
•Finishes: First in OCC-Central, second at sectional, fourth at district •Seniors lost: Brandon Gray, Matt Pietrusik, Nick Sparling and Brennan Whitis •Key returnees: Keldon Fukunaga and Mehdy Slama

Sophomore Ellee Bullock of the Dublin Jerome High School girls tennis team might have surprised some people with her performance in the Division I state tournament, but coach Tyler Stephen wasn't the least bit surprised. Bullock went 3-1 and placed third in singles at state, held Oct. 18 at Ohio State and Oct. 19 at Elysium Tennis Center. Last year at state as a freshman, she and former teammate Caitlyn Merzbacher went 2-2 and placed fourth in doubles. “I just sit back and smile when people talk about how Ellee has come out of nowhere this year, because she’s been a very good player for a long time and she was just hidden in our lineup last year because of our depth,” Stephen said. “This was her coming-out party in singles and she surprised a lot of people with how well she played after flying under the radar as a freshman.” Bullock opened state with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Toledo Notre Dame Academy’s Nina Eid and beat Kings Mills Kings’Amina Ismail 6-2, 6-3 in the second round. “Nina is a great player, so I wasn’t underestimating her at all,” Bullock said. “I just came

out and things went my way.” Bullock lost to Watterson’s Lauren Ghidotti 6-2, 7-5 in a semifinal but bounced back to defeat Massillon Jackson’s Tessa Hill 7-6 (7-3), 6-0 in the consolation final to finish the season with a 27-2 record in singles matches. “Finishing top (three) in the state is a huge deal for Ellee,” Stephen said. “This (was) the first time she’s had the chance to showcase how good she is in singles, and (she made) people wish they had jumped on her bandwagon earlier.” Also competing at state was junior Rhiannon James, who lost to Cuyahoga Falls Walsh Jesuit’s Molly Sandberg 6-2,
4-6, 6-0 in the first round. Jerome reached a district final in the Division I Ohio Tennis Coaches Association tournament before losing to eventual champion Upper Arlington 3-2 on Oct. 15 to finish 16-3 overall. The Celtics had won the previous two state titles. “We came very close to making it back to the state tournament, but Upper Arlington’s a great team and this was their year,” Stephen said. “Just to make it back to the district final was a big deal for our team after we lost some very good players and a lot of people counted us out.” Jerome finished first in the
OCC-Cardinal Division with a 7-0 record and 42 points. Scioto (35, 6-1) was second, followed by Westerville Central (28, 5-2), Hilliard Bradley (18, 3-4), Hilliard Darby (18, 3-4), Westerville South (13, 25), Canal Winchester (10, 2-5) and Westerville North (4, 0-7). The league title was the Celtics' 10th in as many seasons. Jerome won the first-place OCC tournament Sept. 28, scoring 17 points to beat OCCCentral champion UA (13), OCC-Capital champion New Albany (12) and OCC-Ohio champion Pickerington Central (8). Bullock (first singles), James (second singles), seniors Maddy Easdale and Sofia Gomez (first doubles) and sophomores Stephanie George and Courtney Go (second doubles) all went 2-0 and placed first. “We’re very proud of winning our 10th OCC title, and we played our best tennis of the year to win the (first-place OCC tournament),” Stephen said. Jerome loses two seniors in Easdale and Gomez but expects to return six players with varsity experience in Bullock, George, Go, James and freshmen Natalie Gomez and Emily

Jerome is now tied with Columbus Academy for the second-most state titles in boys golf behind Upper Arlington (16). The Celtics shot a 319 in the first round at state and a 322 in the second. The only team to have a lower score At a glance in the second round was Pickerington North, which shot a 318 after turning in a 328 in the first JEROME round. •Finishes: First in OCC-Cardinal, “It’s so cool to go first at sectional, first at district, out with one more first at state state championship, •Senior lost: Brady Bohl and I told my team•Key returnees: J.D.

Jerome is the only school in OHSAA history to win the boys and girls state tournaments in the same season, and the Celtics have now done it four times. They first accomplished the feat in 2005. Bohl led the Celtics at state, shooting a 157 to finish sixth of 72 players. He and sophomore Adam Stephens, who tied for 10th (160), earned secondteam all-state honors. Also competing were sophomore Grant Lewis (tied for 13th, 161), freshman Jack Herceg (tied for
21st, 165) and junior J.D. Fletcher (27th, 166). The Celtics were in second place after the first round, just one stroke behind St. Xavier. “I like where we were after the first day because we didn’t have the pressure of being in first place, but we were very close to the lead,” Zesiger said. “We got off to a much better start (in the second round) and we played really well from hole No. 12 through 18. Even when our players’ hands were so cold they could barely feel them, they were able to close this out, and we didn’t have any big numbers on the last four holes.” Jerome’s state performance capped a season in which it won its 10th league title in as many seasons and improved its all-time record in league play to 247-7. The Celtics went 27-1 in the four-round OCCCardinal Division tournament, finishing ahead of Westerville Central (25-3), Westerville South (1810), Scioto (14-14), Hilliard Bradley (10-18), Hilliard Darby (9-19), Westerville North (9-19) and Canal Winchester (0-28). Westerville South’s Justin Arens was OCC-Cardinal Player of the Year with a 72 average in league play, but four Jerome players earned first-team allleague honors in Lewis (74), Herceg (74.25), Bohl (76) and Fletcher (76) and Stephens (78) was second-team all-league. Seeded second in the district, Jerome shot a 300 in the 13-team sectional Oct. 1 at Granville Golf Course to edge runner-up and sixth-seeded St. Charles (301). The Celtics also won the 12-team district Oct. 8 at Apple Valley, shooting a 299 to finish six strokes ahead of runner-up Pickerington North (305). “We swept the four major championships that were important to us, which were the OCC, sectional, district and state tournaments,” Zesiger said.

Junior Krissi Tzagournis (third singles) and freshmen Victoria Fan and Skylar Moore (second doubles) went to 2-0 to place first, and sophomore Ashley Tan (first singles) and senior Amber Lee (second singles) each went 1-1 and placed second. “Our biggest win was definitely beating Jerome, but we also had a big win over Olentangy Liberty (3-2 on Aug. 29) which helped us do well in the OCC,” coach Brett Hundertpfund said.
