Pierce Field building plans continue By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers As one project at Pierce Field is completed, plans for another improvement at the park have been finalized. The new accessible playground equipment has been installed at Pierce and is open for pleasure, said Sean Robey, parks and recreation director. The playground piece includes numerous elevated play components with ramps that make them accessible for those in wheelchairs or motorized devices, he said. There are also several ground-level components that youngsters can use, Robey said. A rubberized accessible sur-

face was also installed. Since the playground equipment was installed earlier this month, it has been heavily used, he said. “People really seem to like it,” Robey said. The final design plans for a new multipurpose building at Pierce Field have been
completed and Robey said the next tasks will be to work out financing for the $500,000 project and to gain planning commission approval of a major site plan. “We’ll be sitting down with (city council’s) finance committee to look at funding options,” he said. “We’re kind of working on a tight schedule,” Robey said, because the parks department would have work on the new building begin as soon as possible after the Bobcat Boosters’ Ox Roast, schedule for Sept. 8-10 at Pierce Field. The plan would be to complete the new building by the beginning of the high school softball season next March, he said. “That’s the time when nothing really
is happening at Pierce Field,” Robey said. The multipurpose building would include a kitchen area in which the Boosters would sell, but not cook, the beef they sell at each year’s ox roast; a storage area; and restrooms. The side of the building facing toward the T-ball diamond would include a shaded patio area where people could sit while watching games. The other side would feature a covered patio with picnic tables. The building would be located between the park’s two ball diamonds, approximately where the current restroom building sits, Robey said. The building would be about 1,300 square feet in size. A new pit for the Boosters would be
located to the north of the new building near Hilo Lane. The Bobcat Boosters have approved of the new location for the pit, Robey said. The existing three buildings at the park would be demolished, he said. “They were built by volunteers sometime in the late 1960s, 1970s time frame,” Robey said. “They have served us well, but they are well past their prime. The restroom facilities are in particularly bad shape.” Some of the funding for the project could come from revenue from the additional 0.25 mill in available inside millSee BUILDING, page A5

Pet portrait artist wins Lazy Daze Best of Show By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Dana Keating-Marziale, a New Albany-based artist who specializes in pet portraits, won the Best of Show award July 23 at the 18th annual Lazy Daze of Summer arts and crafts festival. Keating-Marziale was one of more than 50 exhibitors who displayed their work at the festival, which was held on the lawn and streets surrounding the Grandview Heights Public Library. The festival is presented by the Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Arts Council and serves as the organization’s main fundraiser. This year’s festival was cut short by about 45 minutes due to the threat of a thunderstorm. “It had been so hot all day and we Mozart Dane of Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue hangs out at the organization’s booth during the festival.

The United Nations has declared 2011-12 as the International Year of the Bat, part of a global species awareness initiative. So it is perhaps fitting that a Grandview Heights High School student will be building a bat house this summer for the Wallace Community Gardens. Gen Ritz approached the city with the bat house project, which she will be completing to earn her Girl Scout Gold Award. The planning commission gave its approval of the project at its July 20 meeting. The idea for the project stemmed from both her concern for the environment and interest in bats, Ritz said. The bat exhibit at the zoo always fascinated her as a young girl, she said. “I just thought bats were kind of mysterious and misunderstood,” Ritz said. “Probably the biggest misconception people have about bats is that they all have rabies and that they will attack you.” In fact, bats are beneficial for the environment and for humans, she said. A brown bat can eat as many as 1,000 mosquitoes per hour, Ritz said. “Mosquitoes are a problem at Wallace Gardens and we’ve had instances of mosquitoes being captured there displaying signs of West Nile virus,” said Sean Robey, parks and recreation director. “This will be a green, non-pesticide way to help eliminate the mosquito population at the gardens and at McKinley Field.” Bats are also capable of pollinating flowers, he said, and they consume garden pests such as gypsy moths and Japanese beetles. The bat house Ritz will be build-

ing will measure 2 feet tall by 1 1/2 half feet wide. It will be placed on a post and be about 13 feet above ground. “There will be three chambers for the bats, each about threefourths of an inch apart,” she said. “The one I’m building will be able to hold up to 100 bats.” “It’s amazing how many bats can cram into such a small space,” Robey said. The house will be placed in the southwest corner of Wallace Gardens, closer to the railroad tracks and away from the trees, he said. It will be painted black, both to make it more hospitable for the bats and to make it less visible to nearby businesses and homes, Robey said. There will be an educational component to the house, with a sign or plaque attached to the post providing information about bats and their benefits to the community, he said. Bats are already in the Grandview area, living in homes and attics and dead trees, Ritz said. “They come out at night to feed,” she said. The bat house will provide them with an alternative home, Ritz said. See BATS, page A5

Kids learning about gardening at Wallace Gardens program By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The Grandview Parks and Recreation Department is offering youngsters a chance to learn horticultural lessons this summer in what might be called kid-gardener class. The Kids at Wallace Gardens program has been held Saturday mornings at the community gardens since April. The young participants are learning what it takes to plant, grow and harvest their own garden plots. “We started indoors in April because of all the rain, but after we talked about the basics of gardening, the kids were able to plant the vegetables and plants of their choice in their section of our plot at the Wallace Gardens,” said Karen Andres, a Grandview resident who came up with idea for the program and proposed it to the parks department. “I have a love of gardening, but I never got to do it as a kid,” Andres said. “I thought it would be really interesting for kids to learn what’s involved in growing the vegetables they see at the store. They’re realizing the vegetables you buy at the store don’t just magically appear there. Someone has to grow them.” Her hope is that the participants in the program will develop an early avocation for gardening they can continue throughout their lives, she said.

Maria Sipes, 7, looks over the carrots in the Kids at Wallace Gardens plot. Grandview donated half of a plot in the community garden to the parks and recreation department’s Kids at Wallace Gardens program, which teaches kids about gardening.
Each child was assigned a small portion of the plot being used for the program so that they would not be overwhelmed with their gardening responsibilities,Andres said. More than 10 different kinds of vegetables, as well as sunflowers, were planted by the children, she said. The vegetables harvested in those portions of the plot not assigned to an individual child will be donated to a food pantry, she said.
The youngsters are getting a lesson in the rollercoaster ride of gardening, Andres said. While the weather has not been too bad, a groundhog living near the gardens has been snacking on the plants, she said. The group has had to apply a repellent to their plot to help keep the groundhog away. Last Saturday was an exciting day for Maria Sipes, age 7. She was able to pick the first bean pods from her plot. “It’s really exciting,” Sipes said.
pers,” Sipes said. Luann Hoover is participating in the program with her daughter, Isabel Carter, age 10. The program has a lot of benefits for Isabel, who is autistic, Hoover said. “I wanted her to learn about living things and where fruits and vegetables come from,” she said. “Also, I homeschool her, and its good for her to be involved in a small group like this.” Isabel “is getting a kick out of” growing her own vegetables, Hoover said. For 9-year-old Josh Kiel, his interest in gardening resulted from another activity involving digging in the dirt. “I look for worms to feed to my neighbor’s fish and I thought, hmm, it might be fun to try gardening,” he said. He has planted a variety of veg-
“I’m going to take them home, but they probably aren’t ready to eat yet. I’ve never eaten beans before.” Gardening is a lot of fun, she said. “I like that we plant food that you can eat yourself,” Sipes said. “I liked planting the seeds and trying to figure out how deep they should be.” Her section of the garden includes beans, onions, tomatoes, peppers and sunflowers. “I wanted to include some flowers and I like tomatoes and pep-

ARTIST Continued from page A1 feared a storm was on its way, so we hurriedly wrapped things up and started packing everything up at around 5:15 p.m.” said Jeri-Diehl Cusack, an arts council board member and Lazy Daze co-chair. “As it turned out, we didn’t end up getting rain until later that night,” Cusack said. But exhibitors and festival visitors suffered all day from the high temperatures. “I’m sure it held down attendance some,” Cusack said. “We’re just so appreciative of everyone who came and stuck it out through some horrific heat.” In addition to the Best of Show, five honorable mentions were also named by festival judges. They were: Grandview residents Michael Hughes and Tracy Garrett, whose booth featured craft items including specialty pens and bottle stoppers created by Hughes. Kate Morgan, last year’s Best of Show winner. Morgan is a Columbus-based artist whose work includes 2D mixed-media pieces and paintings. Mike Dexter of Grandview with his graphic prints created in the black letter art style of Mexico. Dexter, who has created the poster for every Lazy Daze festival, was a first-time exhibitor. Wood craft maker Jeffrey Johncox, who makes turned bowls. Love 2 Make Jewelry, a group of jewelry makers from the Cincinnati area. Hughes and Garrett also won the People’s Choice Award, selected by the vote of festivalgoers. Among this year’s exhibitors was Kathy Maur of Marion. Maur makes and sells soaps using goat milk through her Gallifrey Farm business. Maur said she became interested in raising goats and making soap from their milk after learning about the process through her children’s participation in the 4-H program. “I really enjoy coming up with the molds for the soaps,” she said. “There are so many shapes of soaps you can use. It’s fun to come
up with new ones.” There is also an almost unlimited variety of scents that can be created for the soaps, Maur said. “Probably the one people seem to like the most is oatmeal milk and honey,” she said. The all-natural soaps made using goat milk have a big advantage over most of those bought in stores, Maur said. “The chemicals in the soaps you buy at the store can make your skin dry and itchy,” she said. “With my soaps, you get clean, but you don’t get all dry and itchy.” Uhrichsville, Ohio, resident Deborah Patterson displayed the serving trays she makes out of old beverage bottles. An interior designer, Patterson has sold the bottles through her Unique Bottle Serving Trays business for five years. “I’m always on the lookout for antique bottles,” she said. “They work a lot better than more modern bottles.” It probably takes more effort to find bottles than to actually make the serving trays once she has them, Patterson said. “I’m always contacting bars and restaurants to see if they have any bottles I can use,” she said. “I get bottles from friends and business associates and at flea markets.” Patterson removes the labels before melting the bottles in an oven, a process that takes about 20 hours. She then reapplies the labels. “People really seem to like them,” she said. “They make nice gifts and are wonderful conversation pieces.” This year was the second time Patterson was invited to participate in the Lazy Daze festival. “It’s such a great event,” she said. “I’ve been involved in a lot of festivals, and none of them treat the exhibitors as well as Lazy Daze.” It’s the community’s support that makes Lazy Daze such a success, festival co-chair Ruthanne James said. “We couldn’t do this without all the help and support we get from the community, our sponsors, the library and the city,” she said. “Their support means so much to us.” afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Kiel is also cultivating a “sensitive plant,” a species with leaves that fold inward at night and when touched. Gardening can be a challenge because of the constant worry about weather and pests, “but it’s more fun than tough,” Kiel said. “You just have to try it and see what happens. So far, our garden seems to be working out pretty well. “I think more kids should try gardening at Wallace Gardens next year,” he said. “First, you don’t really get dirty and it’s a lot of fun.” afroman@thisweeknews.com

Band hopes to raise $10K during Sunday’s decal drive By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
After another record-breaking effort last year, organizers of the 11th annual band decal drive are looking to achieve a fundraising milestone again this year. “We raised $9,400 last year and we certainly are hoping to reach $10,000 this time,” said Greg Berning, a co-chair of the drive. Proceeds of the sale will benefit both the high school and middle school bands, Berning said. Band members will be going door to door between 6 and 8 p.m. Sunday selling 2011 band decals residents can purchase and display on their home or car windows to show their support for the band. The date for the annual decal drive was changed to Sunday because several athletic team practices were scheduled on the original night, Bern-
ing said. “We’ll be selling the decals for any amount of donation people want to give,” he said. “If they want to give $10, $20, $50 or $150, we’ll take it.” The band parents group uses the funds raised through the decal drive to help subsidize the cost of band camp, the purchase and upkeep of uniforms and instruments, travel expenses and other costs incurred by the bands, Berning said. If someone is not at home the evening of the decal drive, an donation envelope will be left to make it convenient to send in a donation, he said. “Just pop that envelope in the mail and we’ll get your decal back to you quickly,” Berning said. Donations can be sent to Grandview Band Parents, P.O. Box 12580 Grandview Heights 43212. Checks should be made payable to the Grandview Band Parents Association.
Police, fire to hold open house event for National Night Out By ALAN FROMAN ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A closer look
The Grandview Heights police and fire divisions will host an open house Aug. 2 as part of the observance of National Night Out. National Night Out is a program that encourages the public to take a stand against crime, said Grandview Police detective Carol Harper. The observance and open house will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesday. “National Night Out started in a high crime area and its spread throughout the United States,” Harper said. “It’s purpose is for people to come out, greet their neighbors and show that they are standing up against criminals.” Residents are being asked to turn on their porch lights between 7 and 10 p.m. to show they are taking a stand against crime, she said. The open house will be held during the same time on the lawn at Wyman Woods, 1520 Goodale Blvd.
Residents are being asked to turn on their porch lights between 7 and 10 p.m. to show they are taking a stand against crime. The open house will be held during the same time on the lawn at Wyman Woods, 1520 Goodale Blvd.
“It will be a chance to residents to meet their neighbors and have a meet-and-greet with the police and fire departments,” which will also have information available, Harper said. “We’ll have games for kids where they can win prizes, demonstrations, police and fire equipment displays and McGruff the Crime Dog will be there,” she said. The police department relies on residents serving as their eyes and ears, Harper said. “We can’t be everywhere and the criminals are looking out for us in our squad cars and uniforms,” she said. “They aren’t looking for people who are
watching out for their neighbors.” If residents see or hear something suspicious or out of the ordinary, they should contact the police department, Harper said. “We have many instances when people report something to us and it turns out to be criminal activity,” she said. “Maybe it’s someone trying to open car doors or someone suspicious at the house of a neighbor who is on vacation.” It used to be easier for people to observe things before the days of air conditioning, Harper said. “People spent more time out on the porch in those days,” she said. “Now people are more insulated in their homes.” One of the goals of National Night Out is to remind people of the part they can play in fighting crime, Harper said. This year is the first time Grandview has held an event in conjunction with National Night Out, she said. “We hope to do this again next year and get more and more people involved.” Harper said. afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

This photograph shows orchestra leader Don Crawford playing the saxophone at the Grandview Heights High School’s L.A.L. Sorority Spring Commencement Formal in May 1947 at Valley Dale. He had the privilege of debuting the new hit song, “I Had a Wonderful Time in Columbus” by Curt Weinberg and Kermit Goell. It was a national hit due to their clever promotion efforts. They convinced Columbus realtors to provide 50 apartments for housing needy World War II veterans. Any nationally prominent radio personality who promoted the song on their station was allowed to match one needy veteran with an apartment. An article in the May 31, 1947, issue of The Billboard Magazine indicated that the record trade had never seen such an enormously successful song promotion. Bob Hope was one of the 50 celebrities promoting the song.

The ordinance also states that, upon written request by an applicant, the mayor or mayor’s designee would have the authority to extend the hours during which such activity can be conducted if such an extension is deemed reasonable. Any violation of the ordinance would be a minor misdemeanor, which would be subject to maximum fine of $150, Banchefsky said. Each day a violation occurs would constitute a separate offense and separate violations could written up for each day, he said. “So (the fines) could really add up,” Banchefsky said. Council will further consider the ordinance, including whether the hours should be tweaked, at its Aug. 15 meeting. Council members also discussed the possibility of considering legislation to enact a noise ordinance to regulate noise emanating from parties, swim-

No ordinance has yet been presented, and council members agreed the issue needs further research and consideration before any legislation would be introduced. In other business, council member Robert Sterneker proposed converting the vacant lot owned by the village on Cardigan Avenue just west of the railroad tracks into a practice soccer field. With so many youth soccer teams forming in the Grandview/Marble Cliff area, it is getting increasingly difficult to accommodate all of the teams’ activities with the current number of available soccer fields, Sterneker said. Council members expressed interest in the idea providing that no village money be spent to remove a tree stump located in the lot. Council president David Roark also suggested that Sterneker and the soccer groups approach nearby businesses to advise them of the proposed plan. afroman@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Teams get ready for start of practice By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
The wait is nearly over for high school football players and coaches. It started with the sometimes monotonous days of weight-room work, which began for many the moment last season ended. The past few weeks have included activities such as team camps and 7on-7 passing tournaments, with a few glimpses of the playbook thrown in. Beginning Monday, Aug. 1, it final-
ly will start to feel like football again. For Grove City coach Matt Jordan, that first day of official coaching allowed by the OHSAA provides an enjoyable opportunity to see his players bond. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s a chance for relationships between some players and coaches to get a fresh start. “You no longer get any excuses from anybody,” Jordan said, laughing. “Seriously, it’s fun to finally get to put the pads on. You’ve been in the weight room since December, so it’s fun watch-
ing everyone run around in helmets. You know it’s football season, and there’s this wonderful excitement in the air. There’s something about that adrenaline that comes.” According to the OHSAA, the dates teams are allowed to scrimmage this year are Aug. 9-20. Although games can be played as early as Aug. 22, most teams start their season Aug. 26 or 27. Many teams in central Ohio won’t have their first scrimmage until Aug. 12, which means they have 11 days to put plays in motion before their first
contact against another team. Putting in drills over the first couple days of practice can be an important exercise in setting the pace for the coming months as well as in preparing for scrimmages. “You try to establish everyday types of drills and try to mix them up,” Jordan said. “We do certain things day one, certain things day two and get a rotation going. You’re always evaluating talent and you definitely want to laterally be going forward to see who looks good.
“In football, you already have a pretty good idea who your guys are Aug. 1, so you’re also looking at team cohesiveness. Do you have some leaders who are ready to step up? You start initially with your base offense and base defense in the early days and then do repeat and review to make sure you haven’t moved too fast. When you get to pads, it all changes.” Teams from the City League sometimes have obstacles, particularly early See FOOTBALL, page B2
Commentary
Respect essential to prep athletes Bad news often takes precedence over good news when it comes to stories about athletes. Most athletes perform well at their jobs and conduct their lives in a respectful way, but poor decisions often lead to headlines. This week, the high school stuLARRY dent-athletes LARSON writing in my summer series discuss how they view two elements of the positive side of sports — sportsmanship and respect. Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I always try to be as positive as possible and I always remember that I do this sport because I love it and not as if it is my job.” Mary Wells, Westerville Central, bowling: “I view respect and sportsmanship as a bigger part of the game than talent. You don’t have to be a friend with everyone, but it is important to get along with everyone.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Respect and good sportsmanship are necessities come game time. Whether it was something in your day that upset you or things just aren’t going the way you want them to, no one likes to feel disrespected. Sometimes it’s going to be about someone else’s day, so smile and congratulate them as they would congratulate you.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “Respect in competition is vital. When you are big enough to respect your opponents, you respect yourself and your teammates that much more.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “Respect and sportsmanship are always very valued traits to have as an athlete. In order to respect the game, you must respect your competitors in that game.” Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “I will make it real simple — respect all, fear none.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “In high school games, you have to remember that the guys out there on the field from the other team are just like you. Many of us get to be friends over the years. It is important to represent your school and community well on and off the field.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “Respect and sportsmanship in competition are very important. I will be the first to say that emotions, sometimes, do get the best of me during games. The important thing is to keep in mind that it is a game and it is nothing to compromise your morals over.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “It is never

Annehurst ends drought, wins NEW title By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
By Lorrie Cecil/ThisWeek
Grandview’s Dyllan Deafenbaugh makes a big splash diving into the pool for the boys 6-and-under 25-meter freestyle during the North-East-West meet July 20.
The math may be fuzzy, but the memories won’t be for the Annehurst Piranhas. The Piranhas ended a long dry spell on a hot day at the NorthEast-West Swim League championship meet, scoring 2,165 points to win the title July 20 at the Dublin Community Pool North. Defending champion Dublin Arctic was runner-up (2,118). “It’s been a real, real long time since we’ve won,” said coach Kevin Kissling, whose team is based in Westerville. “I believe it’s been 22 years, but I’m not exactly sure since I haven’t been here that long. We all went back to our pool and threw a party that lasted until after midnight. I’ve been receiving calls and congratulations from former members who no longer live in Ohio and haven’t been around here in years and decades. It’s been amazing.” Rounding out the overall team
standings were Dublin Pacific (1,939), Grandview (1,887), Dublin Atlantic (1,704.5), Marysville (1,515.5) and Northland (485). During the regular season, the teams are divided into the Olentangy Division and the Scioto Division. Annehurst, Dublin Arctic, Dublin Pacific and Grandview compete in the Olentangy. Chad Rankin, who competed in his 11th and final season with Annehurst, said team members surprised everyone, including themselves. “I’ve been with Annehurst for a long time and we’ve never ever even come close to winning before,” Rankin said. “No one gave us a chance again, but about halfway through the meet our coaches told us we were only 14 points behind. We realized we had an opportunity. We had some good swims coming up and we were motivated. It was time to make our move. With the inspiration, we rallied and finally we were able to do something great.” Rankin, who graduated from
St. Charles Preparatory School last spring and will attend Butler University in the fall, won the 100-meter individual medley (1 minute, 6.66 seconds) in the boys 15-18 age division, was runnerup in the 50 butterfly (28.09) and was lead leg in the winning 200 freestyle relay (1:48.75). But it wasn’t the number of event wins that vaulted Annehurst to the top, according to Kissling. “The important thing is that every swimmer we had from age 6 to age 18 scored in at least one individual event,” Kissling said. “We limited our mistakes (and) had considerably less (swimmers disqualified). We were in a virtual four-team tie halfway through the meet and from that point on, the kids did an excellent job moving up. We told them if they all could move up one place in their events, we’d get one additional point and take away one potential point from the other teams. That’s what won it for us.” Annehurst had three swimmers See SWIM, page B2

Avery’s heroics led Newark to state title By JARROD ULREY ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Greg Avery of the Newark High School boys basketball team couldn’t have been more excited for the spotlight of the Division I state championship game March 15, 2008, against Lakewood St. Edward. Even now, though, he cringes at how his game started — with a pair of what he considered bad shots, the first of which resulted in a missed layup. But little else went wrong that night for Avery. The 6-foot-3 senior tied his career high of 33 points on 14 of 18 shooting and added 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead the Wildcats to a 65-52 victory and their first state championship since 1943 before a crowd of 12,465 at Ohio State’s Value City Arena. “My first two shots were two of the See LARSON, page B2 dumbest shots,” Avery said. “I wanted
to get rolling, and after that I was just in the zone.” Avery made seven consecutive shots after missing his first attempt, including back-to-back baskets to open the second quarter. He hit a jumper nine seconds into the period to make it 2114 and made his only 3-point attempt with 6 minutes, 57 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Wildcats a 2414 lead. After Newark took a 14-point lead midway through the second period, St. Edward rallied to within six before Avery hit a jumper with 7 seconds left in the first half to make it 33-25. “I really noticed (how well he was playing) the next week watching the game and seeing some of the shots he made,” Newark coach Jeff Quackenbush said. “We ran a play for him at the end of the (first) half and he made this fade-away (jumper) from about 17 feet. You know he’s scoring and doing well,
but I guess he was just in that zone and we felt really good about the shots he was taking. “He had a huge steal at the end of the third quarter and just played well the entire game. His whole game, just everything he did, he really competed well that night.” The other starters for the Wildcats — post player Dane Kopp, forward Will McCoy and guards Cody Dennison and Rahlin Watson — each played contributing roles in what became Newark’s fourth state championship. Although McCoy scored just four points, he was one of the primary reasons St. Edward’s Tom Pritchard — an Indiana University recruit — was held to nine points on 3for-7 shooting. The Wildcats never led by fewer than five points in the second half and stretched the lead to as many as 16 in the final period. Watson, who plays for Capital Uni-
versity, scored 10 points. Dennison scored eight and Kopp added seven as the Wildcats finished with a 24-4 record. Avery said the standout performance of the team’s defense made it difficult for St. Edward — and Pritchard in particular — to take good shots. Dennison, who played two seasons for Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and will play for Tiffin University this season, remembers talking with Avery when both were in elementary school about one day making it to the state tournament. “He pretty much did everything for us that night,” Dennison said. “We’d had the mindset to be in that situation since we were in fifth grade, and in my junior year and Greg’s senior year, we finally reached that goal. That will to win got us over the hump. “I personally tried to give him the See AVERY, page B2

Greg Avery (5) of Newark begins to celebrate in the final seconds of the Wildcats’ 65-52 victory over Lakewood St. Edward in the Division I state championship game on March 15, 2008. Avery dominated the game, scoring 33 points and adding 11 rebounds, three assists and four steals to lead Newark.
AVERY Continued from page B1 ball all the time, and everybody fed off of him. We were all clicking. Everything he was shooting was going in.” Avery remembers fondly the scene when he and his teammates returned to Newark that night and the celebrations that followed over the coming days. It was a fitting end to a prep career in which Avery scored 1,131 points. He made thirdteam all-state and first-team alldistrict his senior season as he averaged 18.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Avery became the sixth player in program history to score more than 1,000 career points. “I remember driving home and the fans were waiting for us when we got back to our gym,” Avery said. “We had a ceremony and had a day named after us, ‘Newark State Championship Day.’ There was a lot of support from Newark.” Shortly after the state championship, Avery signed to play collegiately for Western Carolina. He averaged 6.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 30 games, including four starts, during the 2008-09 season. After the season, he decided to transfer to the University of Findlay, a Division II school, because of the coming birth of his daughter. During the 200910 season for the Oilers, Avery averaged 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in 27 games, including five starts. Despite having what he deemed a successful transition early on to Findlay’s program, longtime coach Ron Niekamp, who retired earlier this year after 26 seasons, told Avery after the season that he “didn’t really fit the system,” Avery said. In search of a place to play, Avery was considering Valdosta State, a Division II school in Valdosta, Ga., when on July 26,
Counting down to No. 1 ThisWeek Community Newspapers has been around for 22 years. That timeframe was used as the basis to compile a top-10 list of the top individual performances we’ve covered. Along with the experienced sports staff at ThisWeek and Steve Blackledge, high school reporter at The Columbus Dispatch, we arrived at a top-10 list. Below are Nos. 4-10. Check back next week for No. 2 and let us know your thoughts at ThisWeekSPORTS.com.
NOS. 4-10: 10. MAURICE HALL, Brookhaven football (Oct. 27, 2000) — During a season in which he rushed for 3,057 yards to rank fifth on Ohio’s all-time list, Hall’s most memorable individual performance came during the final week of the regular season. The Bearcats beat Briggs 75-16 as Hall rushed for 411 yards and eight touchdowns on 19 carries. 9. LATOYA TURNER, Pickerington girls basketball (March 19, 1999) — The 6-foot-4 senior helped the Tigers advance to the Division I state final with her 29-point performance in a 51-35 win over Wadsworth. The Ohio State recruit made 12 of 14 shots from the floor and was 5-for-6 from the free-throw line while adding five rebounds, four steals and two assists. 8. DARCY FISHBACK, Upper Arlington girls swimming (Feb. 27-28, 2009) — During preliminaries Feb. 27, Fishback broke the state record in the 100-yard butterfly when she finished in 53.38 seconds. She won her fourth state title in the event the next day in 54.17 seconds. Fishback also swam on two state-record relays: the 200 medley (1:43.59) and the 200 freestyle (1:34.24). 7. CHARLES JOHNSON, Watkins Memorial boys basketball (Feb. 24, 1995) — There have been few more

He is considering playing on the Division III or NAIA level, or could join a semi-pro team. Regardless of some of the ups

Watkins Memorial was just 1-19 entering the matchup but got 57 points from Johnson, who made 19 of 34 from floor, including eight 3-pointers, and was 11-for-15 from the freethrow line. He added eight rebounds, six steals and five assists. 6. KHALILAH CARPENTER, Brookhaven girls track and field (June 23, 2000) — At the 2000 Division I state meet, the junior broke the meet and state records in the 100 meters with a time of 11.59 seconds on June 2. The next day, she won the 100 in 11.71 and the 200 title in 23.69, a time that lowered the state mark she already held. 5. JEFF BACKES, Upper Arlington football (Dec. 2, 2000) — In leading the Golden Bears to the Division I state title, the 5-9, 180-pound senior turned in a performance worthy of the Ohio Mr. Football award that he had received days earlier. Backes rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries and preserved a 159 victory over Solon at Fawcett Stadium in Canton with an interception with less than a minute remaining. 4. COURTNEY SMITH, Hilliard Davidson softball (May 17 and 19, 2006) — Smith brought to a close what remains the longest OHSAA softball tournament game, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 22nd inning for a 4-1 victory over Olentangy Liberty and a Division I district championship for the Wildcats. It was Smith’s first career home run. She also stood out in the circle, striking out 29 while pitching a complete game. She didn’t allow a run until the top of the 22nd.
and downs that have occurred for Avery the past three-plus years, he knows the memory of what he helped accomplish with his high school team lives on. “It’s still unbelievable,” Avery said. “I still talk to guys who played on that team regularly, and for that game I think we all just did everything to get us that ring. We didn’t let distractions get in our way. I felt like when I was starting to get hot that we were going to win the game.”
on, because many of the players who come out for football as freshmen are competing in the sport on a team for the first time. For those taking over a program for the first time such as Brookhaven’s Trevor White, that factor as well as figuring out how to install a new system can make for some complicated moments of preparation even before the first day of official coaching. “Especially with a new program, a big thing early on is setting the tone,” White said. “You want to be getting everybody on the same page, and what we’ve been debating is how much of the offense and defense do we put in. Do we just throw it at them or do we take it step by step? “We’ll have some kids that played (youth) football but some who have never played the sport before.

At a glance Below is a look at the Grandview Heights and Ready football teams entering Monday, Aug. 1’s first day of official coaching: GRANDVIEW •Coach: Jason Peters, fifth season •2010 record: 6-4 overall, 4-3 (tied for third) in MSL-Cardinal •Last playoff appearance: 2005, lost in Division V first round •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Centennial •Top expected returnees: Joe Anderson (OL/DL), Jason Franks (RB/LB), Will Heydinger (OL/LB), Carter Jump (OL/DL) and Oliver Rouch (QB) •Preseason outlook: After enduring four consecutive losing seasons, the Bobcats took a step forward last year. With Rouch and Franks back after carrying a significant portion of the offensive load last season, there appears to be significant reason for optimism.
READY •Coach: Larry Wolf, 14th season •2010 record: 4-6 overall, 0-1 (second) in CCL-Gold •Last playoff appearance: 2009, lost in Division V first round •Opener: Aug. 26 vs. Franklin Heights •Top expected returnees: Kelly Culbertson (DB), Patrik Garren (DL), Brandon Gutheil (TE/DL), Bo Hardy (QB) and John Wright (K) •Preseason outlook: With injuries and inexperience among the contributing factors, the Silver Knights a year ago endured their first losing season since 1998. Ready enters the season intent on improving defensively after giving up an average of 29.2 points a game last year. For preseason information on other central Ohio teams, go to ThisWeekSPORTS.com.

There are a lot of drills
where we try to put kids in situations where they can learn. I think it’s just a matter of being organized and knowing what schemes we have. “Obviously everybody gets a brand new start. There’s an excitement and an anticipation that you’ll have a great season. That first time on the practice field is like being reborn each year.”
