Superintendent confirms resignation School board’s next step is to develop a plan to hire Mantia’s successor By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspaper Karen Mantia confirmed June 16 — a day after reports surfaced — that she will leave her job as superintendent of the Pickerington Local School District Aug. 1 to become superintendent of Lakota Local Schools near Cincinnati. The next step will be for the board to formally accept her resignation and to develop a plan to hire a replacement.
She has been superintendent in Pickerington since March 2007. PLSD officials announced June 16 that the Lakota Board of Education had approved hiring Mantia. Mantia’s office also issued a press release stating she would resign from her current post, effective Aug. 1. “This was a tough decision,” Mantia said in a press statement. “I absolutely love the people I work with and the relationships that are here. Throughout
my career, my primary focus has been on meeting the needs of the students and staff that I serve. Today, I must put my family first. “There is so much Karen Mantia talent in Pickerington Local Schools that I know I am leaving the district in good hands. Despite the current economic climate, the students
and staff of Pickerington are poised to enter the next phase of their achievement.” Mantia’s official resignation came two days after a draft of a release announcing her impending departure was leaked to the media. The draft email, which was sent to PLSD Board of Education members, cited personal reasons for her decision to leave Pickerington to lead Lakota, a school in Liberty Township near Cincinnati. “This places me closer to my family,”
Mantia said in last Thursday’s press statement. Lee Cole, PLSD director of communications, said on June 16 Mantia is from the Cincinnati area and has family there. “That’s where all of her family is, including her mom,” Cole said. “She wasn’t looking for a job. It’s my understanding she was recruited and she didn’t apply for the position.” See MANTIA, page A8
City and RELAY FOR LIFE township gearing up for Violet Festival By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspapers The countdown is on, and entertainment and activities are set for the 14th annual Violet Festival, the largest event of the year for Pickerington and Violet Township. The festival is scheduled for July 27-30 at Victory Park in Pickerington. With the event nearly a month away, volunteer organizers are hurrying to put the finishing touches on the 2011 installment. According to Jim Hern, Violet Festival entertainment director, this year’s festival will remain largely the same as recent years, with some tweaks designed to improve concert-viewing and shopping on the grounds. But the focus of the event — to promote Pickerington and Violet Township’s people and businesses — remains unchanged. “We’re hoping to see 40,000 people coming to the festival this year,” Hern said. “When that happens, there’s a lot of foot and vehicle traffic. “That is our time to say, ‘Look at who we are.’ It’s an opportunity to showcase our businesses and it’s a time when we as individuals can show who we are.” For the second consecutive year, a $2 admission fee will be charged for people age 13 and older. Hern said the entry fee is designed solely to offset costs for the festival, which is organized by a nonprofit group of volunteers. See VIOLET FESTIVAL, page A6

Sheraw named PLSD ‘Teacher of the Year’ By NATE ELLIS ThisWeek Community Newspapers A longtime Pickerington teacher who found her niche helping struggling students was recently named the district’s “Teacher of the Year.” Janie Sheraw has been named for the honor for the second time in her 35-year teaching career. The award comes as Sheraw, a coordinator for the Pickerington High School Central’s Success Academy and Career Based Intervention programs, officially retired at the end of this past school year.

DIRECTORY News: (740) 888-6100 editorial@thisweeknews.com
The event will feature rides, concessions and live entertainment in the park until 11 p.m. It will be capped off with a fireworks display at approximately 10 p.m. Like last year, the city and township are sharing the costs of the $11,900 display, as well as the total cost of the day’s events, which are estimated at $21,900. At 6 p.m., another annual tradition will take place when the parade steps off from Pickerington High School
Central, 300 Opportunity Way. This year, Brubaker, who will turn 83 on July 18, will lead the parade as its grand marshal. “I’m rather pleased and surprised,” he said. “It’s quite an honor.” Brubaker has lived in Pickerington since he was 4 years old, long before it became an official city and before development and population growth changed its landscape.

the PHS Central “Teacher of the Year.” From there, a districtwide selection committee chose the district teacher of the year. In addition to Sheraw, the following teachers were selected as “Teacher of the Year” in their respective buildings: • Carrie Brown, Fairfield Elementary fourth-grade teacher. • Laura Martin, Heritage Elementary third-grade teacher. • Sandra McLoney, Pickerington Elementary second-grade teacher. • Brent Ferne, Sycamore Creek Elementary physical education teacher. • Chelsea Swain, Toll Gate Elementary speech pathologist. • Melissa Woodward, Tussing Elementary intervention specialist. • Kathleen Campbell, Violet Elementary art teacher. • Whitney Watson, Diley Middle School music teacher. • Laura Sobjack, Harmon Middle School special education teacher. • Betsy Long, Toll Gate Middle School academic coach. • Deborah Kose, Lakeview Junior High School physical education teacher and athletics director. • Sarah Butch, Ridgeview Junior High School intervention specialist. • Alison Campbell, Pickerington High School North physical education and health teacher.

years after the former reading specialist, who previously taught life and study skills to students falling behind on their classwork, first was named a PLSD “Teacher of the Year.” “I was pretty shocked to have this a second time,” Sheraw said. “It’s such an incredible honor.” Sheraw planned to retired at the end of the 2010-11 school year, so the elimination of her position due to district budget cuts made the move less of a dilemma for her. Despite the financial uncertainties now facing the district, she said she’s confident local students will continue to thrive because of quality parents and teachers in the community. Her path to more than three decades of teaching started as an English teacher in the Teays Valley Local Schools. After taking five years off to stay at home with her two sons, Brett and Todd, Sheraw got a job as a reading teacher at Pickerington High School during the 1982-83 school year. She subsequently obtained a reading specialist certification from Ohio State University, where she also received her undergraduate degree. Later, she obtained a master’s degree from Marygrove College and vocational certification from OSU. During her tenure, she also was a member of the Ohio Department of Education’s Regional Professional Development Committee, which helped guide the state’s professional development and licensing standards for teachers. “I think change is motivating and invigorating,” she said. “Every time an administrator came to me and asked me to try something, I didn’t say no.” Her willingness to follow new paths led Sheraw to develop study skills programs to give students struggling in the classroom better foundations for academic learning. That work ultimately evolved into Central’s Success Academy program, which identified ninth- and 10th-graders who had fallen behind in classes to help bring them up to speed in core curriculum areas, such as English and mathematics. It also led her to become a classroom career-based intervention specialist. In that role, she assisted high school juniors and seniors who were economically or academically disadvantaged learn life and vocational skills that would help them find jobs and succeed after graduation. “I’ve always been partial to struggling students,” Sheraw said. “That’s always been my favorite group, and that’s simply because the challenges are great, but the rewards are phenomenal.” Looking back on her time as an educator, Sheraw said she’s
proud of what she’s accomplished and will miss her students. An avid golfer, she said her retirement will allow her to spend more time on the links, as well as travel with her husband, Bob, and see her two sons and two grandsons more often. Although she eventually plans to become an education consultant or find a new way to reconnect with classrooms, she’s saddened that financial constraints possibly cut her career short. “It’s bittersweet,” she said. “I think I’ve done a lot of good things over my career and I think there were maybe more good things I could’ve done, but I’m ready to see what my next adventure will be.” Sheraw, a 37-year Pickerington resident, also said the Pickerington community should continue to support its school system, which she said is made up of energetic and bright students, caring parents and talented and devoted teachers and staff members. “We have such a dedicated staff in our district,” she said. “They always, always go the extra distance for their students. “There are the students, the community, the parents and the teachers. The more all of us work together for our students, the more we’ll be successful. That’s the reason we’re here.” Sheraw was named PLSD “Teacher of the Year” after her teaching peers selected her as

Local groups hope for more ‘Pack the Pantry’ donations A consortium of local community and business groups this week is soliciting donations of nonperishable food and cash to help stock the PCMA of Pickerington Food Pantry. Last Monday, the United Way of Fairfield County organized a number of “Pack the Pantry” events throughout the county to help generate donations of food and money for people struggling to put food on the table. Taking a cue from that event, the city of Pickerington, Violet Township, the Pickerington Area Chamber of Commerce, the Pickerington Public Library, the Pickerington Senior Center, the Pickerington Community Pool and UNO Chicago Grill partnered for a week-long drive to further bolster the “Pack the Pantry” drive. From June 20-24, those groups are collecting non-perishable food donations, as well as financial contributions, at their respective offices and businesses. The Pickerington Police Department, 1311 Refugee Road, also is a drop-off point. All donations collected through the end of business tomorrow (June 24) will go to support the PCMA Food Pantry of Pickerington. “Local leaders recognize the need to go even further to help area families during these tough times,” said city manager Bill Vance. “Now we have a chance to tie in with the United Way organization in an effort to distribute donations right here in Pickerington. “One-hundred percent of what is collected stays here in our community.” The local event kicked off on Monday with a breakfast at the Carnegie Library Plaza in Olde Pickerington Village. Donated baked goods were available for sale to visitors, and Pickerington city officials said approximately 25 people came to the event, which generated $95.
As of ThisWeek’s press time, volunteers were slated to collect donations at the PCMA Food Pantry of Pickerington on Tuesday, and the Pickerington Police Department, Pickerington City Hall, Pickerington Community Pool, the Pickerington Area Chamber of Commerce, Violet Township Hall, the Pickerington Senior Center and the Pickerington Public Library were collecting donations at each of their facilities on Wednesday. Today (Thursday, June 23), those entities are continuing to serve as collection points for donations. While donations of any type of non-perishable foods and cash are needed, the drive is specifically seeking donations of canned pineapple and baked beans. Also today, UNO Chicago Grill, 1720 Hill Road North, will provide free appetizers from 5 to 6 p.m. tonight. Additionally, the restaurant will allow patrons who bring in “Dough Raiser” coupons printed from the city of Pickerington’s website, www.pickerington.net, to donate up to 20 percent of their bills to the PCMA Food Pantry of Pickerington. “When our community got a hold of the notion, we all sat down and said, ‘We want to do more,’ with the idea that all of this money stays in Pickerington,” said Lynn Miller, the city’s human resources director. “We do have a food pantry in Pickerington, and it needs help.” Tomorrow (Friday, June 24), the local “Pack the Pantry” effort will conclude. Collection drop-off points will be maintained at each of the aforementioned locations through 5 p.m. While all types of non-perishable food and cash donations will be accepted, the groups hope to solicit pancake mix and syrup contributions. Additional information about “Pack the Pantry” and donating to the PCMA Food Pantry can be found on the city of Pickerington’s website. nellis@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

Have You Heard? by Greg VanHorssen TWO OUT OF THREE A new study shows that 63 percent of those aged 70 years and older have hearing loss that ranges from mild to severe. Perhaps even more telling is the fact that only one fifth of senior Americans with hearing loss use a hearing instrument. When it comes to a breakdown of the numbers, older males are more likely to have a hearing loss (or a more severe hearing loss) than younger females. Moreover, Caucasians were more likely to have hearing losses than African-Americans (64% versus 43%). While the reason for this is not clear, it is thought that pigment produced by the skin and cells in the inner ear may protect the inner ear from free radicals. Hearing problems that are ignored or untreated can get worse. If you have a hearing problem, see your doctor. Hearing aids, special training, medicines and surgery are options.

THIS BUG KILLS! Protect Your Ash Trees Call Mike Donley Today for a FREE Ash Tree Assessment The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an exotic boring insect believed to have come from China. This bug was first discovered in 2002 in Southeast Michigan. With no natural enemies to contain its population, it spreads rapidly, attacks and kills ALL ash trees regardless of size or condition; 100% mortality rate! This bug only attacks ash trees. The EAB infestation of ash trees became apparent last year in Central Ohio. Extensive wood pecker damage, dead limbs in upper canopies and a flush of green sprouts in the lower canopies are the most obvious signs of likely EAB infestation. Generally speaking, from the first signs of infestation, trees die within 2-3 years if untreated. Should you decide to preserve your ash trees, field trials from Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue Universities have shown annually applied insecticides will protect ash trees effectively from the emerald ash borer. There are two primary recommendations to get most effective insecticide protection - Treating trees in the spring time (April-May) and treatments prior to infestation.

Is Doc Taylor’s home haunted? THEN: This new 1927 home at 47 W. Columbus St. was built for Dr. W.B. (“Doc”) Taylor. His medical office was the small building seen to the right of his home. For the convenience of patients needing the use of a bathroom, there was a walkway from the office to his kitchen door. Taylor set up his Pickerington practice in 1902 after graduating from Ohio Northern University and Ohio Medical University. In addition to being the town’s physician, Doc Taylor was a member of the first Violet Township Public Library Board, developed plans for the first Labor Day Homecoming in 1911, was president of Pickerington Bank and was one of the first residents to own an automobile. Dr. K. W. Taylor joined his father in the practice of medicine in Pickerington in 1930. W.B. “Doc” Taylor died on Dec. 31, 1944. NOW: 47 W. Columbus St. is now home to England Insurance. Doc Taylor’s little office building was moved to 30 Cross St. in 1953, and still can be seen at that location. According to the England Insurance staff, unexplained open doors and strange noises in the foyer and kitchen area are the norm in Doc Taylor’s former home. Area residents are invited to stop in to see and experience this home between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, July 1 during Olde Pickerington Village’s second annual History Hop. The free event is co-sponsored by the Pickerington-Violet Township Historical Museum, Olde Pickerington Village Business Association and ThisWeek Community Newspapers. Maps and information about all 10 sites on this self-guided walking tour can be picked up the evening of July 1 at England Insurance or at the Pickerington-Violet Township Historical Museum, 15 E. Columbus St. A collection of Doc Taylor’s tools and medicine bottles are displayed in the museum, which also is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission to the museum is always free. Additional details about the History Hop or the historical museum are available at www.pickeringtonhistoricalsociety.com.

islating performance-based pay rejects the basic concept of education that learning is cumulative over time. I teach 10th-grade English, a year when students first take the Ohio Graduation Test. I know I am not solely responsible for a student’s ability to read and write. Students are taught these skills in history, social studies, math, science, foreign language, the arts and every other class they take. When my students take the Ohio Graduation Test in reading and writing, their skills are not a reflection of my abilities as a teacher. They are a reflection of their overall learning throughout their school experiences. Kasich’s proposal bases my salary on my ability to impact student achievement after six months despite the fact that the child has had nine years of school and 20 other teachers before me. It is unfair to potentially reward me for the work of other teachers, many who teach in an untested grade level and will not be rewarded financially for their efforts. Standardized tests were intended to be used to guide student learning, not to unjustly and unfairly determine one teacher’s quality.

Letters Continued from page A4 solution for the board of education was to go to the public and ask for more money in the form of a levy, not cut expenses, but increase revenue. Once the levy failed, the board was then forced to make the cuts we are experiencing. Good teachers are being laid off, programs are being eliminated, scheduling and busing has changed and fees for sports programs increased. Fast forward to present day at the most recent board meeting, we were told by our soon-to-be former superintendent that we are going to face an additional $5.3 million in cuts if the public fails to pass the proposed August levy. Instead
of giving the folks in attendance an idea of what other avenues she was exploring in order to balance the budget, Superintendent Karen Mantia hid behind the law and said, “I’m not going to answer that.” The current teachers union contract will expire June 30. We have a proposed levy being put to a ballot in August, additional programs and teachers are being cut, our schools have embarked on a radical new “global learning model” under Mantia’s direction and what does our leader do? Cut and run to a new district for “family” reasons. When conducting the search for a new superintendent, the school board should look for someone who has integrity, hon-

His work on that board led Brubaker to a stint on Pickerington City Council, and he served part of a term as the city’s mayor beginning in December 1971. While he says he wasn’t cut out for politics, Brubaker has been involved with numerous local community groups. In addition to being a former photography specialist for the Pickerington Police Department, Brubaker is a past president of the Pickerington Senior Center, a member of the Aladdin Shrine Temple and he’s been a member of the Pickerington Lion’s Club for 51 years. A 1946 graduate of Pickerington High School, Brubaker also has been voted an “Outstanding Alumnus” of the school. “I’m quite proud of the city,” he said. Pickerington Mayor Mitch O’Brien said he recommended Brubaker to serve as the July 4 parade’s grand marshal after having known him for many years. O’Brien said he met Brubaker when they both served on the Pickerington Senior Center’s Foundation Board years ago, and they continued to cross paths

VIOLET FESTIVAL Continued from page A1 Although an entry fee now is required, he noted the festival no longer will charge a $2 admission fee for people who visit the beer garden. Also, the festival will not charge additional fees to visitors who wish to sign up for raffle prizes. Hern also said any profits from this year’s Violet Festival will be carried over to help finance it in 2012. “We are a not-for-profit,” he said. “If we do end up in the black, then that money goes to the next year’s festival.” As in past years, this year’s festival will feature four days of live music on two separate stages. On Wednesday, July 27, local acts such as Maggie Lynch, The Further and Harmony will play on the main stage, and karaoke will be featured in the beer garden. On July 28, the British Invasion, which performs covers of British bands’songs from 1960s and 1970s will play on the main stage. July 29 performers will include Hotel California, an Eagles tribute band. “We have the only Eagles tribute band that’s recognized by the Eagles,” Hern said. “They sound eerily similar, and they look just like the real Eagles.” Saturday’s entertainment will include a noon performance by the Pickerington Community Theatre, and the evening will be headlined by a 9 p.m. performance by Eddie Money, of “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Shakin’” fame. “He was here four years ago and we didn’t expect the crowds he generated,” Hern said. He said Money’s concert four years ago drew so many people there wasn’t room for festival visitors to approach vendors. So, this year, the viewing area for the main stage has been expanded.
In addition to music, the Violet Festival once again will feature the Violet Festival Parade, with lineup slated for 4 p.m. on July 29. This year’s parade theme is “Paradise in Pickerington,” and seeks to demonstrate the virtues of the local community. Awards for the parade’s “best” “most entertaining” and “best of show” floats will be given at 8:30 p.m. that night. Also on July 29, the annual 5K run — the Downtown Dash — will begin at 6:45 p.m. Other festival staples returning this year will be the annual Car and Bike Show, which will take place on Columbus Street from noon to 2 p.m. on July 30, and a multitude of games and amusement rides to be offered throughout the four-day event. “The midway will still have kids’ rides, and there will be plenty of midway games to play,” Hern said. He said televisions that will broadcast live feeds of the main stage’s entertainment acts will be installed in the beer garden and each VIP area this year. He also noted that numerous fundraising opportunities are available for local organizations who wish to partner with the festival. These include providing volunteers to help take tickets or sell beer; organizations that provide the volunteers will receive a percentage of the sales. Fundraising information, as well as a full list of the festival’s events and registration information can be obtained online at www.violetfestival.org. “The event was built 14 years ago, and its mission to help promote the Pickerington and Violet Township area as a great place to work, live and do business remains the same today,” Hern said. “We’re looking forward to a great festival.” nellis@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekNews.com

First, it’s great that you are aware of the risks and are seeking ways to protect yourself before you become a victim. It’s much easier to take precautions now than have to restore your identity and reputation later. Being away from home and in unfamiliar places could bring increased risk to consumers, opening doors to thieves. More purchases than usual are made this time of the year, as well, so additional withdrawals might go unnoticed until you get back to home base. Your identity could be stolen in a number of ways, including loss or theft of your wallet, purse or credit card; stealing your mail or taking documents from your trash; skimming information from the magnetic strip on credit or debit cards; giving personal or financial information over the phone to strangers; or hacking into your computer. If you are catching up on paying bills or doing any online shopping while you are on vacation, be sure you are using secure websites. Be careful in stores to protect your wallet, purse and credit cards and watch to be sure store personnel handle your credit card properly. Also watch out for people hovering near you or using a camera phone. Being extra aware of your surroundings and always being organized also make you more focused and alert so you can spot potential problems. Keep receipts for all purchases and check the receipt against your credit card or other

Mantia confirms resignation as superintendent Continued from page A1 Lakota school board President Joan Powell confirmed Mantia was sought out for the new position by a company the Lakota Local School District employed to help find a new superintendent. “She did not initially apply,” Powell said. “We employed a search firm and we instructed them to recruit people who would meet our profile. Karen was one of them.” Mantia’s selection as Lakota’s next superintendent was supported by a unanimous vote. Her annual salary will be $165,000. At Pickerington, Mantia’s annual salary was $144,000. “Our community was very interested in people not only with
academic experience and backgrounds, but also people with very much a financial background,” Powell said. “Karen has that experience in cost-benefit analysis, where she’s had to analyze programs and their costs and determined which ones must stay and which ones could be cut.” Mantia was out of town on June 16 and district officials said she was not available for comment on June 17. However, the district issued another statement from Mantia to ThisWeek on June 17. “I wish to answer the rumors so there’s no mistake,” Mantia stated in the release. “First, my decision was my family. They live south and the need for me to return was very important. “Coupled with this decision, an
opportunity came its way allowing me to explore the possibility of returning to Cincinnati with a new job. It’s nothing more than that. The (PLSD) board knew of my situation and were very understanding. There’s no big story here but a mom going home.” The June 16 PLSD press release noted that at the time Mantia came to Pickerington the district had fallen into the state academic rating of “continuous improvement.”After two years of receiving the highest rating of “excellent with distinction, the district currently has an “excellent” state rating. However, Mantia will leave at a time of economic uncertainty for a district with an annual budget of more than $90 million.
Voters will be asked on Aug. 2 to pass a 5.5-mill levy, which would generate about $5.95 million annually. It would add $168.44 per $100,000 of valuation to a property owner’s tax bill. On June 13, Mantia outlined a plan to cut $7 million from the district’s budget for the 2012-13 school year, if the levy fails. It included the possible elimination of 30 teachers’jobs, all district-funded extracurricular activities and the closure of Heritage Elementary School. Should the levy not pass, Mantia said, those cuts would be needed in addition to the $13 million in reductions already approved for the 2011-12 school year. The earlier moves resulted in the elimination of 125 jobs,

including 82 teaching positions. PLSD board member Lee Gray said he doesn’t think Mantia’s departure will impact the levy. “I don’t know why a superintendent leaving or not leaving would affect the levy,” Gray said. “Either you need a levy or you don’t. It should not affect how people vote. It should still be based on the merits of the levy and whatever side you have to be on.” Mantia, 59, was superintendent of the Piqua school district when she was hired for the Pickerington post. She has spent most of her career working for school
districts in the Cincinnati and Dayton suburbs. Cole said Mantia will continue to work in Pickerington until Aug. 1, and plans to work through the finalization of contract negotiations with the district’s teachers’ union. Gray said Mantia will leave the district on good terms. “(Her resignation) came as a surprise, but I wish Karen well,” he said. “We have a lot of good people in Pickerington and she’s put a lot of good people in place. “I’m sure we’ll continue without missing a beat.”

Legion Baseball
Post 283 boasts deep staff, lineup By BRAD EMERINE ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Having fallen short of reaching the state tournament last summer, the Pickerington American Legion Post 283 baseball team is focused on getting to state this season. Sixth-year coach Chris Weber, who has guided the team to three state appearances, called this year’s squad the deepest and most talented group he has assembled. “One of the toughest things I have
to do on a daily basis is fill out the lineup card,” he said. “I’ll fill out the lineup and then I’ll look at the bench and I’ll say to myself, ‘Holy cow, how did I not put that guy in there?’ I’m literally rotating lineups every day because the bench is every bit as good as the guys on the field. “We are so deep, it’s incredible. We’ve got 10 pitchers and I wouldn’t be timid to throw any of them at any part of the season. Pitching was the focal part of the recruiting this season and we’ve got arms and athletes at every position.”
Post 283, which plays its home games at Pickerington Central, also has power and an explosive offense. In winning its first 14 games, Post 283 outscored its opponents 213-33, averaging 15.1 runs while its opponents averaged 2.4 per contest. Post 283 was 18-1 overall after going 4-1 in the Hillbilly Hardball Classic in Elkins, W.Va., which concluded June 19. Its lone loss was to Wheeling Post 1 6-2. “I realize that not all of the teams we’ve played have been strong, but we beat perennial state tournament quali-
fiers Piqua Post 184 (4-3 on June 12) and Beverly/Lowell Post 389/750 (5-0 and 9-5 on May 30),” Weber said. Despite the depth and wealth of talent, Weber said team camaraderie has been excellent as Post 283 looks to improve on last season, when it went 3411 but was eliminated in the District 8 tournament. “The depth is only a luxury if you can play with one heartbeat and that’s what these guys have done remarkably well,” he said. “I think they’re figuring out that I’m rotating guys and they’ll
all play important roles. They have been celebrating one another’s success. “When we hit a home run, we’ve got 17 other guys at the plate waiting to greet the hitter. When we make a big play defensively or have a dominant inning pitching, we’ve got guys waiting to congratulate him when he comes off the field.” The team hit 21 home runs through 14 games, putting it well ahead of the pace to break the team record of 58 set See POST 283, page B4
Commentary
Athletes learn to develop routine The high school athletes participating in my summer series also stand out in the classroom. In the second week of the series, the student-athletes talk about how they balance practices and games with studying to keep their grades at a high level. M a r y LARRY Wells, WestLARSON erville Central, bowling: “School always comes first and keeping your grades up is way more important than any sporting event.” Jimmy Gammill, New Albany, football: “To balance practice and games with studying, you have to be dedicated to both things. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in order to accomplish excellence in both.” Napoleon Bell, Hartley, football and wrestling: “I make sure to study and do homework directly after coming home from practice. This way I am not as tired as I would be later and I will be motivated to do work.” Faith Washington, Reynoldsburg, track: “Seeing that practice only lasts a few hours of my afternoon, I always dedicate the rest of my time to the work that needs to be done for class. If I am well organized and can stick to a schedule that works best for me, it helps ensure that my academic and athletic priorities are also balanced.” Jake Blankenship, Gahanna, pole vault: “I make sure that I finish all my work before I go on with my day. I will normally have practice directly after school and I try to get my work done first thing after practice.” Austin Cuervo, St. Charles, golf: “I know that schoolwork must come first and I need to attend to my studies first and attack that before I get out on the golf course or range. I either immediately practice first and then study or the other way around. I dedicate myself to academics and athletics and dedication is the key word.”

Antonio Romanelli and his teammates run a drill under the direction of assistant coach Andy Uzomba during a Classics Eagles U-13 practice on June 17. The Eagles are one of nine area boys and girls teams gearing up for the Midwest Regional Cup, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis.
Club Soccer
Area teams set for Midwest Regional By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
A central Ohio club soccer team has won a Midwest Regional Cup title each of the past two summers after local squads failed to do so the previous six years. The Blast F.C. Under-15 boys team won a Regional Cup in 2009, and the Crew Juniors U-19 boys squad won regional and national championships last year. Heading into the 2011 Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Satur-
day through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis., Crew Juniors U-19 boys coach Brian Bliss said he wouldn’t be surprised if a central Ohio squad won a regional championship for the third consecutive season. However, Bliss said it will be difficult for the five local boys teams and four local girls squads to win their age brackets regardless of their talent level. “Sometimes it’s more difficult to win the Regional Cup than the national tournament because you have to play five games in five days in the regional tour-
Team previews, pgs. B2-B3 nament and there’s very little room for error,” Bliss said. “A lot of people have forgotten, but we were three minutes away from being eliminated from pool play in the regional tournament last year before we rallied (for a 3-1 win over Everest Soccer Club) to reach the semifinals. A lot of teams have the talent and potential to win this tournament, but you need to make plays at the right time to get it done.”
More than 270 preliminary games will be played as boys and girls U.S. Youth Soccer State Cup champions, select wildcards and Midwest Regional League qualifiers in the U-13 through U-19 age groups compete. All of the age groups have been divided into three- or fourteam brackets, and every team will play a game within its bracket June 25, 26 and 27. The bracket winners will move on to semifinals June 28, with regional finals See OVERVIEW, page B3

East all-stars hold on for 14-7 victory over West By SCOTT GERFEN ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Kent State recruit completed three of five passes for 36 yards during the West all-stars’ final drive, which ended at midfield with a fumble as time expired. A strong defensive effort led by Independence lineman Tim Dysart (Morehead State) helped the East all-stars win 14-7. “It was really great to just be playing football again and getting the rust out of my system before I head off to college,” said Smurthwaite, who was named the West’s See CAP CITY, page B4

2011 Midwest Regional Cup
Team Ohio F.C.
Green U-17 boys eye Midwest title By AARON BLANKENSHIP ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Rosters
The Team Ohio F.C. Green Under-17 boys soccer team surprised many, including coach Steve Dawson, by winning the State Cup tournament for the first time in four years. After beating the CUP Crew Juniors 3-2 in a semifinal on May 14, Team Ohio defeated the Blast F.C. 1-0 in the final on May 15 as forward Sam Darling scored and A.J. Tresoline earned the shutout in goal. The CUP Crew Juniors were the No. 1 seed in the tournament and the Blast F.C. won a Regional Cup title and finished fifth in the national tournament two years ago. Given its State Cup performance, Dawson said he wouldn’t be surprised if his team continued to earn upsets in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This team doesn’t have a lot of players who are big stars and I thought we’d be doing well to get to the semifinals in the State Cup,” Dawson said. “But we shocked CUP, which was stronger than us talent-wise, player for player, and we upset the Blast in the final against all odds, and our players have a lot of confidence right now. This team has come on like gangbusters at the right time and is on a roll. If we continue playing like this in the regional tournament, I think we can keep winning there.” This will be Team Ohio’s first Regional Cup appearance since going 1-1-1 in pool play as a U13 team in 2007. Team Ohio will open pool play June 25 against ShattuckSt. Mary’s from Minnesota before playing June 26 against Elm Grove (Wis.) Premier and June 27 against the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Crew Juniors. The Grand Rapids Crew Juniors are first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings ahead of Elm Grove Premier (10th) and Team Ohio (26th). “We feel like we have a great chance to do well, even though we may be the lowest-ranked team going there,” defender A.G. Basiakos said. “We’re not the most talented team, but we can win games if we play tough defensively and continue to outwork our opponents.” Dawson said Basiakos and Tresoline will need to lead his defense, while Darling is expected to spark his offense. Darling also scored two goals in Team Ohio’s State Cup semifinal win. “A.G. is our captain and strongest player in the back, and A.J. has been playing great in

felt could compete at the top level, and this team has lost only one game since December,” Dawson said. “It’s a strange team because we’ve had a lot of injuries and our practices haven’t been fantastic, but it keeps winning games.” In pool play, Team Ohio Blast will face CUP Crew Juniors from Cincinnati on June 25, the Michigan Wolves on June 26 and the KCFC Rangers from Kansas on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the KCFC Rangers are eighth, the Michigan Wolves are 15th and the CUP Crew Juniors are 35th. “We got an OK draw, but all of our pool play games are going to be tough,” Dawson said. “We’re a streaky team in that sometimes we score a lot and other times we win games 1-0. This team has some of the best high school players in the area and we haven’t been dominated by anyone, so I think we’ll be competitive in every game in this tournament.” •The Team Ohio F.C. Juventus U-16 boys team, which lost to the CUP Crew Juniors 3-1 in a State Cup final on May 15, received a wildcard to advance to the Regional Cup tournament for the third consecutive year. Team Ohio went 2-0-1 and won its pool in the Regional Cup two years ago, before losing to St. Louis SG Academy 2-0 in a semifinal. Last year in the Regional Cup, Team Ohio went 1-2 in pool play. “This team has been disjointed up to this point in the season, but we have a lot of talented players such as Tyler Kidwell, Rylee Woods, Alex Polko, Gunnar Bloecher and Alec Binger,” Dawson said. “This team underachieved this year, but we can win at regional if we play together like we have in the past. This is a chance to rectify not playing up to potential in the State Cup.” In pool play, Team Ohio will face the Lemont (Ill.) Raiders on June 25, WAZA West Black from Michigan on June 26 and KCFC United from Kansas on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, Team Ohio is fifth behind the Lemont Raiders (No. 1) and ahead of WAZA West Black (14th) and KCFC United (21st). “Our experience (in past Regional Cup tournaments) should help because playing at a higher level gets you prepared for this kind of game speed,” goalkeeper Trent Rantala said. “The key for us is to keep possession and link passes to get an attack going.”

Ohio Premier
Eagles U-18 girls team emphasizing defense By AARON BLANKENSHIP
As the Ohio Premier Eagles Under-18 girls soccer team conducted drills in its indoor facility June 17, coach Chris King halted practice three times to emphasize the importance of taking away passing lanes in the center of the field. Moments later, King was shouting words of praise and encouragement as his players clogged those seams and deflected the ball to the perimeter again and again. At the conclusion of practice, King said his team will need to continue playing defense with that same level of enthusiasm to be a true contender in the Midwest Regional Cup tournament, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “This is stuff that we’ve gone through hundreds of times at this stage of their careers, but doing the basic things right in a tournagoal,” Dawson said. “Sam’s one ment like this is what makes the of the fastest players in the state. difference,” King said. “All of the Overall, this is one of the least teams that we’ll see there will be highly skilled, but the teams that heralded teams on paper.

In 2009, Ohio Premier advanced to a Regional Cup final but lost to the Eclipse Select from Illinois 10 on penalty kicks. “This is a great team that is full of players who are highly sought after by college coaches,” King said. “Gabby Byorth has made the U-17 national team camp, and we have a lot of players who have done well at the regional level.” In pool play, the Ohio Premier Eagles will face the Kansas City (Kan.)

The Crew Juniors Under-19 boys soccer team played stifling defense en route to winning the Midwest Regional Cup and the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships last year. The squad posted two shutouts and gave up five goals in five games in the regional tournament. In the national tournament, the Crew Juniors earned two shutouts and gave up three goals in four contests. The team now features a roster that coach Brian Bliss said likely will utilize a more offensive style of play in the 2011 Midwest Regional Cup, which will be held Saturday through Wednesday, June 25-29, in Fox Cities, Wis. “Last year’s team was probably a bet-
ter-defending group, but we’re stronger on the attack this year,” Bliss said. “That’s not to say that we’re going to leak a lot of goals, because our defending group isn’t poor. I’m just saying we have more creativity and speed on the attacking end of the field, so we won’t have to rely on our defense as much as we did last year. We have the firepower to come from behind to win games if we need to, so we have the option of being more aggressive.” The Crew Juniors feature two members of the U.S. U-20 National Team in forward Dylan Mares and defender Eriq Zavaleta, along with two members of the U.S. U-18 National Team in forward Chris Hegngi and midfielder A.J. Corrado. Five players who competed in the 2010 NCAA Division I championship game, in which Akron defeated Louisville 1-0, also play for the Crew Juniors, including
Akron goalkeeper Andrian McAdams and Akron midfielder Kyle Culbertson. Mares and midfielders Andrew Farrell and Alex Obbey competed for Louisville. The Crew Juniors went 3-0 in the State Cup tournament and outscored their opponents 11-0, including a 2-0 win over the Blast F.C. in the final on June 5. “This team is equal to, if not slightly better than, last year’s U-19 team,” Bliss said. “But we’ll need to play well and there’s always an element of luck involved in winning any championship. Hopefully, we’ll play well enough to make our own luck, like we did last year.” The Crew Juniors will open pool play June 25 against St. Croix from Minnesota before playing June 26 against the Chicago Fire Juniors and June 27 against the Des Moines (Iowa) Menace. Last year in the Regional Cup, the Crew

Juniors 4-2 on penalty kicks. Nick Teutsch, Tyler Stills, Cameron Campbell and Will Bolton scored and goalkeeper J.P. Baughman made a save to secure the victory. “I’m of the opinion that defense wins championships, and we did a great job of defending in the State Cup tournament,” Lentz said. “We don’t just bunker it in, though. We have kids who can play and score goals, but we’re very organized on the field and we’re able to fight and grind out wins when we need to.” The Classics Eagles will open Midwest Regional Cup pool play on June 25 against the Wichita (Kan.) Lightning before playing June 26 against Vardar from Michigan and June 27 against Cleveland Pacesetter. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the Classics Eagles are 18th and Vardar is fifth. In the State Cup tournament, the Classics Eagles upset the Crew Juniors 2-0 in pool play on May 15 before beating the
Crew Juniors again in the final. Teutsch scored winning goals in the Classics Eagles’ 4-0 win over Hammer F.C. Premier on May 8, their first victory over the Crew Juniors and their 1-0 win over the Ohio Premier Eagles in a semifinal on May 21. The Crew Juniors are fourth in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings. “Because we’re a new club and not a household name, we may be considered an underdog, but we beat a very good Crew Juniors team twice to get this far, so I’m confident we can compete at this level,” Lentz said. “Vardar is one of the best teams in our region, so we’ll need to play great defense and find a way to score enough goals to win. Our goalie and two center backs, Mark Just and Will Bolton, have played together since they were 9 years old, and we’ve got some technically gifted midfielders and forwards.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
OVERVIEW played June 29. Regional champions in the U14 through U-19 age groups will advance to the U.S. Youth Soccer Association National Championships on July 27-31 in Phoenix. Ohio Premier Eagles club director Chris King said teams need to do more than play well to win a Regional Cup. They also need some luck. “You have to play well and find a way to win against great competition, but a lot of this
comes down to luck,” said King, who helped guide the Ohio Premier U-13 girls team to a regional championship in 2002. “In the closer games, you may need to have a few bounces or a referee’s call go your way. “The luck of the draw is another big factor because teams aren’t seeded at regional and there have been a lot of years where the top two or three teams in the regional end up in the same bracket of pool play, and some of the better teams get eliminated early on.” Local teams that won State
Cup championships to advance to the Regional Cup are: the Classics Eagles U-13 boys, Team Ohio F.C. U-17 boys, Team Ohio F.C. U-18 boys, Crew Juniors U-19 boys, Ohio Premier Eagles U-13 girls, Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 girls and Ohio Premier Eagles U-19 girls. The Ohio Premier Eagles U18 girls squad qualified as a representative of the Midwest Regional League and the Team Ohio F.C. U-16 boys team qualified as a State Cup tournament wildcard. This will be the third appear-
ance for the Team Ohio F.C. U16 boys, Ohio Premier Eagles U-16 girls, Ohio Premier Eagles U-18 girls and Ohio Premier Eagles U-19 girls, and the second appearance for the Team Ohio F.C. U-17 boys. “Any of us have a chance to win it,” Team Ohio F.C. club director Steve Dawson said. “If you have good coaching and have kids who stick together and play well together, you can compete at the regional level.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

In the final on May 22, the Classics Eagles defeated the Crew Juniors 1-0 on penalty kicks.

It’s very difficult to win this tournament because you play five games in five days. There’s a small margin for error in this tournament. Last year we (were) three minutes away from being eliminated from group play before going on to win the regional and national tournaments.”

long way.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U19 girls team earned its second consecutive State Cup title on June 5 when it beat CUP 1-0 in the final. Last year in the Regional Cup tournament, the Ohio Premier Eagles went 1-2 in pool play and failed to reach a semifinal. “Most of these girls have played together for seven years, and when they returned home from college, you would never know they’ve been apart for a year because they play so well together,” coach Matt Ogden said. “They already know our system and their chemistry is still great. They know each other inside-out, and that gives us an advantage over a lot of U-19 teams that have been put together with players who are still getting to know each other.” The Ohio Premier Eagles will open pool play on June 25 against Dynamo F.C. from Indiana before playing Eclipse Select from Illinois on June 26 and Bloomfield Force from Michigan on June 27. Eclipse Select is first in the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, ahead of Dynamo F.C. (15th) and the Ohio Premier Eagles (17th). “Our draw looks very difficult because Illinois, Michigan and Indiana are all very competitive states,” Ogden said. “But at U-19, you never know who will return to play for their teams. With who we have back we’re confident we can play with anyone in the country. We’re going to play a 4-3-3. ... We use an attacking style that sometimes leaves us vulnerable in the back, but we’ve done well with it.” •The Ohio Premier Eagles U13 girls team qualified for the Regional Cup by winning its second consecutive State Cup title. It went 5-0 in the State Cup tournament, outscoring its opponents 16-1. In a State Cup final on May 22, the Ohio Premier Eagles beat Hammer F.C.

United S.C. Elite on June 25, Greater Toledo F.C. on June 26 and Centennial from Minnesota on June 27. In the U.S. Region 2 club soccer rankings, the Ohio Premier Eagles are third ahead of Carmel United S.C. Elite (10th). “Our draw could have been much worse,” Dougherty said. “I’d like to see us continue to play defense the way we did in the State Cup when we gave up only one goal in five games, because we’re dangerous when we defend that well.” ablankenship@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

Big 33 Football Classic
Davidson’s Heitzman helps lead Ohio to win By FRANK DiRENNA ThisWeek Community Newspapers
Ohio’s domination in the Big 33 Football Classic in Hershey, Pa., on June 18 had a local flavor. Ohio rolled to a 50-14 win over the Pennsylvania all-stars, amassing 432 yards in total offense. The 54th game of the series featured five players from central Ohio. Led by defensive end Keith Heitzman of Hilliard Davidson, the Ohio defense allowed 243 yards, including minus-8 yards rushing. Heitzman, who also played fullback and on special teams, capped the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run with 3 minutes, 47 seconds remaining. “It was a ton of fun,” Heitzman said. “Our defense came out strong and was able to get pressure on them right away. We forced them to make some mistakes.” Heitzman helped set the tone early as his pressure on Penn-
sylvania quarterback Matt Johnson led to Gabe Gilbert’s interception on the game’s first possession. Heitzman sacked Johnson in the second quarter, leading to a Pennsylvania punt from its end zone. “Playing against the best I’m hoping will prepare me a little bit more for what’s to come at (the University of) Michigan,” Heitzman said. Heitzman was joined by Davidson teammate J.D. Detmer, who handled the kicking and punting duties. Detmer, who will play at the University of Toledo, converted six extra points and punted once for 38 yards. He missed on field-goal attempts of 46 and 28 yards in the first quarter. Hartley’s Noah Key, who rushed for 2,885 yards and 42 touchdowns on 338 carries last fall to share the Division IV state Offensive Player of the Year award with Kenton quarterback Maty Mauk, played in the secondary for Ohio. “This was a real honor,” said
Key, who will join Detmer at Toledo. “You get to see all the guys you see in the paper every week with your name. You get a chance to meet these guys, and I will be playing against a lot of these guys in college. There (were) actually seven of us on the team from Toledo, so we’re building that early bond.” Key led Hartley to the Division IV state title last season with a 34-13 win over Chagrin Falls in the championship game. Hawks coach Brad Burchfield said playing in the Big 33 game was a tremendous opportunity for Key and the Hartley program. “I know obviously the history of the Big 33 and how prestigious it is to have players selected to play in that game,” Burchfield said. It was sort of a homecoming for Worthington Kilbourne’s Matt Skura, who grew up in Fox Chapel, Pa., and began attending Kilbourne as a sophomore. “Playing against the best competition in Pennsylvania and even the best competition in the
nation, it was a great way for me to end my high school career and start my college one as well,” Skura said. Skura, who will play at Duke University, saw time at center, guard and tackle in the Big 33 game. “He’s been a tremendous leader, setting the example for the kids on the way things should be done,” Kilbourne coach Vince Trombetti said. “He’s never taken a day off. He’s done a great job representing our program.” Westerville Central graduate
POST 283 along with Beaver, Winters and Robinson are probably our top-line pitchers, but McGrew, Collins and Van Boven all are solid pitchers we can throw in big games, too. Our catchers are fantastic, too. Like I said, our depth is better than it’s ever been.” With a schedule that includes five tournaments, Post 283 expects to play approximately 50 games. Weber realizes that the high volume of games, combined with the summer heat, can be mentally and physically taxing. That’s another reason he loves the team’s depth. “We’ve been preaching to never, ever give up an at-bat or take a pitch or inning off,” he said. “We have to remain focused and never sacrifice our level of play. It’s a challenge to play nearly every day all summer, but because we can rotate players without losing quality of play, I think we have an advantage. “We have to start every day with a 0-0 record with the goal of finishing every day 1-0. Buying into the goal, the mission, is just part of it. The most important thing is the process, the approach. We’ve got to be consistent with that and, if we do, our talent should carry us.”

in 2008. Pickerington North products Mason McGrew and Kyle Chontos and Liberty Union product Colt Turley were leading the team. The roster is comprised of 11 recent high school graduates, three seniors, one junior and three players who will be sophomores in college next fall. The 2011 graduates are Chontos (1B/LF), McGrew (P/2B/3B), Turley (1B), North’s Alex Green (OF) and Scott Pancoast (CF), Watkins Memorial’s D.J. Collins (P/2B/SS), Joe Matalen (OF) and Eric Robinson (P), Liberty Union’s Shane Snyder (C), New Albany’s Ray Van Boven (P) and Central’s Kyle Smith (P/2B/3B/SS). Returning to high school next season are Watkins Memorial seniors Rob Sexton (P/1B) and Evan Werner (P), Central senior Zach Beaver (P/3B/LF) and Watkins Memorial junior Tony Winters (P/CF). Central product Isac Franklin (SS) became a starter late in the regular season at West Virginia University this spring. Lakewood product Bryan Large (P/SS/3B) played at Ohio University and Watkins Memorial product Matt Connor (C) played for Muskingum. “Bryan Large’s work ethic and leadership have been terrific and he elevates the level of play of bemerine@thisweeknews.com his teammates,” Weber said. “He and Sexton, www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
Nick Vannett, who will play at Ohio State, saw time at tight end and wide receiver in the Big 33 game. “I’m proud of Nick, not only because of his accomplishments on the field, but also I’ve had people tell me what a class act, what a gentleman he is, and to me that’s just as important if not more important than his football abilities,” Central coach John Magistro said. University of Cincinnati recruit Akise Teague had three touchdowns and 168 total yards, and was named the Ohio team’s
MVP. Teague was voted Ohio’s Mr. Football last fall, leading Youngstown Ursuline to its third consecutive Division V state championship with a 51-21 win over Coldwater. The game also featured the Big 33’s longest interception return for a touchdown. Ohio State recruit Doran Grant (Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary) intercepted a Jalen Fitzpatrick pass and returned it 101 yards for a 28-7 lead in the second quarter. fdirenna@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com

CAP CITY Continued from page B1 Offensive Player of the Game. “I’ve grown up scrambling around like that and I guess that’s why I’ve gotten good at it.” Smurthwaite, who passed for more than 2,300 yards last fall and played in the Ohio NorthSouth All-Star Classic in April, didn’t have big numbers, but his abilities gave the West a chance to come back. It was no surprise to West coach Derek Katris, who coached Smurthwaite on junior varsity at Grove City. “Luke’s going to give you everything he’s got,” said Katris, who is now the head coach at Briggs. “He’s going to play with all the heart he has. We had a lot of penalties and missed assignments, but what are you going to do when you only have (the players) for a week?” Marion-Franklin’s Jeremy McCoy, who also will play at Kent State, slipped past defenders and caught a 70-yard touchdown pass from Beechcroft quarterback Sheldon Akin (Mesabi Range Com-
munity & Technical College) with 1 minute, 36 seconds left in the first half to give the East a 14-0 lead. The East also scored on its opening drive. Westerville South’s Jayshon Jackson (Grand Rapids Community College), the district’s Division I Offensive Player of the Year, capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run. “We really executed our offense in the first half, but I think we got a little bit too conservative in the second half,” said East coach Jeff Pharion, who is the head coach at St. Charles. “We kept it simple with schemes and blitzes defensively, and we executed very well.” The West only crossed midfield twice in the first half. Whetstone running back Jordan Mitchell (Urbana) made it 14-7 when he reversed field and scored on an 18-yard run with 11:35 left in the fourth quarter. The Cap City game began as the City League All-Star game in 2008, but Anthony Murphy, one of the organizers in conjunction with Capcitypreps.com, wanted to get players through-
out central Ohio involved. Players from the City, Central Catholic and Mid-State leagues and the OCC were added, with Interstate 71 as a dividing line. The name of the game was changed last summer, when the East beat the West 22-0. “Last year we had kids from Olentangy Orange becoming friends with kids who live on (Columbus’) west side in the ‘Bottoms’ and picking them up for practice,” Murphy said. “The guys really build relationships out of this and it goes deeper than football.”
Chase Delande, Hilliard Davidson, football and wrestling: “Sometimes before practice I can get some schoolwork done. If I don’t have time before school is out, I need to focus on practice and then get the rest of my work done.” Morgan Ransom, Columbus Academy, golf: “Although golf takes up a lot of my time, academics have always been a priority to me. My time at school is committed to getting my work done.” Michela Paradiso, Upper Arlington, soccer and basketball: “In order to keep up

my academics with games and practices, I sacrifice the other aspects of my life, including my social side. There are some very late nights and very early mornings as a result of my busy schedule. I make difficult sacrifices, but I certainly enjoy the end result of my choices.” Next week, the student-athletes will follow up this topic by talking about the importance of having a good academic record. I’ll see you at a game. Larry Larson is a former athletics director at Grandview High School. He can be heard as “Mr. High School Sports” on WTVN 610 AM.
