Coffman looking to end skid The gauntlet continues for the Dublin Coffman High School football team with another unbeaten opponent ahead in Marysville. The Monarchs enter their OCC-Central Division game Friday, Sept. 27, at Coffman at 4-0 for the first time since 2000. That season, they were 10-0 in the regular season and finished 13-1 after losing to Piqua 18-7 in a Division II state semifinal. “(Marysville) coach (Morgan Cotter) has a second year under his belt with them,” Coffman coach Mark Crabtree said. “(The Monarchs) know the system a lot better, and they’re (4-0). “They have to be a lot better team because obviously Scioto is a pretty decent team, and (the Monarchs) came back and beat (the Irish 30-28 on Sept. 13). I’m sure they’re much improved from last year’s team.” Coffman beat Marysville 4910 last season. The Shamrocks are 1-3 overall, having lost their last three games – all against teams that were unbeaten at the time. Coffman defeated Jerome 16-14 on Aug. 30 before losing to Scioto (30-17 on Sept. 6), Canton McKinley (26-17 on Sept. 13) and Hilliard Davidson (28-7 on Sept. 20).

Scioto focuses on eliminating mistakes By SCOTT GERFEN THISWEEKSPORTS.COM
Following back-to-back road losses, the Westerville North High School football team hopes its first home game since opening week will help it get back on the winning track. The Warriors play host to Dublin Scioto on Friday, Sept. 27, in an OCCSHAMROCKS >> A19 Cardinal Division contest. Both teams
are 2-2 overall and have lost their last two games, including their league openers last week. “It’s going to be nice to have a home game again,” said Warriors coach Roger Elander, whose team lost to defending league champion Hilliard Darby 37-6 on Sept. 20. “It feels like it’s been a very long time since we played at home and the kids will enjoy feeding off the energy of our fans in
our stadium.” Scioto has been plagued by turnovers in its past two games, totaling eight in losses to Marysville (3028 on Sept. 13) and Westerville Central (41-38 on Sept. 20). The Irish had three turnovers against Central, helping the Warhawks erase a 13-point, third-quarter deficit. Scioto turned the ball over five times against Marysville, which overcame a 14-
point, second-quarter deficit. “I think with our kids, they have to take away from these games that we can play with anybody,” Irish coach Karl Johnson said. “But we’ve got to eliminate some of the mistakes that have been costing us late in the game and find a way to get it done.” North ended its 45-game losing

The Dublin Jerome High School girls volleyball team entered the week still searching for its first victory, but coach Katherine Fogg is encouraged by what she has seen from her young and less-experienced players. The Celtics, who have only one senior on their roster, were 0-14 overall and 0-8 in the OCCCardinal Division before playing Hilliard Darby on Sept. 24. Last week, Jerome lost league matches against Westerville Central (25-11, 25-13, 25-21 on Sept. 17) and Hilliard Bradley (25-11, 25-12, 25-14 on Sept. 19). “Overall, we are hanging in there,” Fogg said. “Not having any victories thus far is hard to take as a team, but the girls show up and continue to make strides every game. We have only one senior, so this year is about gaining varsity experience and making the growth as a team leading into the future. The younger girls are hungry and eating up the exposure to the varsity levels.” According to Fogg, among the leaders for the Celtics in the first half of the season were defensive specialist Sarah Ferguson, opposite hitter and setter Emma Hallowell, outside hitter Sophie Mercker and libero Kyra Wisniewski. “Sophie Mercker is our goto player in the front row,” Fogg said. “The team counts on her to put the ball away and she holds herself to doing that for this team. Emma Hallowell is our only senior and her leadership and dedication is holding strong. She is one of our setters and keeps the focus the floor.”
Sophie Mercker has become the “go-to player in the front row,” Jerome coach Katherine Fogg said. LORRIE CECIL/THISWEEKSPORTS
The other teams expected to compete in the event are Amanda-Clearcreek, Athens, Chillicothe, Pickerington Central, Sparta Highland,TeaysValley and Thomas Worthington. “Every team will play three matches,” coach Jackie Helm said. “It should be a competitive tournament.” Scioto was 6-5 overall and 5-3 in the OCC-Cardinal before playing Westerville North on Sept. 24. The Irish split two OCC-Cardinal matches last week, beating Canal Winchester 25-18, 25-16, 25-22 on Sept. 17 and losing to Westerville Central 13-25, 25-11, 25-20, 25-15 on Sept. 19. Among Scioto’s top performances thus far was a 25-17, 2522, 17-25, 16-25, 15-12 win Irish getting ready over Bradley on Sept. 12. for home tourney “Our biggest win was a fiveScioto will play host to an set thriller at Hilliard Bradley eight-team tournament on Sat- when they were ranked fifth in the state (in Division I),” Helm urday, Sept. 28.
said. “We are playing pretty well right now behind senior outside hitter Satsuki Kubi and senior middle hitter McKenzie Schuster. They lead our team in kills and digs.”
Shamrocks eyeing 7th straight OCC title
Coffman won two OCC-Central matches last week to continue its march toward a seventh consecutive league title. The Shamrocks were 11-4 overall and 8-0 in the OCC-Central before playing Marysville on Sept. 24. Coffman defeated Hilliard Davidson 25-16, 25-11, 26-24 in a key league match Sept. 19.
