etc um ey ,s ig"Aar Dais for next season

BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor'. " The best may be yet to come for Sycamore junior Dan Ketchum.

The 1998 and '99 state champion in the 200 and ;500 freestyle, Ketchum went undefeated this sea'son and is The Cincinnati Enquirer's Swimmer of the Year.

Asked to take over the St. Xavier swimming program three weeks before the sea:son, Jim Brower came out of retirement to lead the 8ombers to a record 21st

BOYS SWIMMING state championship, earning him The Enquirer's boys coach of the year honor.

This was Brower's fifth state title in six years coach ing St. X. Since 1970, the Bombers have won 21 state titles and been runner-up five times.

Although Ketchum was happy with breaking the state record in the 500 this season,he won't be satisfied unless he snaps the nataionall record at the 2000 state meet.

"I've thought about it," Ketchum said after breaking his own record in the 500 in 4:22.73. "It's something That we'll „ have to look at next year.

The national record of 4:16.39 was set 1983 by Jeff Kostoff of Upland,Calif.

Ketchum plans to return to Sycamore even if his dad is transferred by Proctor and Gamble.

"I'll be around no matter what happens," Ketchum said. "I like the students at Sycamore and all the coacheb. I'll be track next year."

BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor Leadership, dedication and a willingness to work with teammates are three of Katie Farr's many strengths.

The team improved because of Kale's spiritual and emotional leadership,"Sycamore gymnastic coach Ed Schwegler said of the junior."She was the only returning starter and no one expected us to do well.."

Farr's leadership and outstanding performance earned her The Enquirer's Gymnast of the Year. Anderson's Stacey Neumann is Coach of the Year. Selections were based on coaches'

input. Although Farr wasn't Cincinnati's best gymnast, she was honored based on contribulions to a Sycamore team thatlost its top five gymnasts to graduation and returned only one other on varsity.

In the final area individual standings,Farr finishedsecondin the all-around competition, secand on the bars and third on the beam.She qualified to state in the bars and beam.

Since Neumann took over the Anderson program five years ago, the Redskins have developed into Cincinnati's best, claiming The Enquirer's poll championship for the first time this year.

Miami's John Estick (31) and Anthony Taylor pursue a rebound Saturday.

Szczerbiak, Estick and Frierson are the team's three seniors playing in the their final game at Millett.

"This is the time of year you need your seniors to play well," Coles said. "All three of ours — don't slight John Estick — really are playing well."

But, on a day when defense ruled, Frierson's steals were the difference. Twenty-six of Miami's 63 points came off of Ball State turnovers.

"They were throwing a lot of soft passes," he said. "I had a

height advantage over their guards, so I just backed off." g Frierson was 1-for-5 in the first half and had as many turnovers(two)as points. But Frierson's value does not dip just because his shot is not falling.

"Damon's just a good player," Coles said. "He could play anywhere because of his allaround game. He never let's how many shots he's getting affect him."

His seven steals matched the record shared by Ron Harper (1984) and Chuck Goodvear

(1976) After the first steal, Frierson found Jason Stewart on the break for a layup. The next one Frierson tools all the way himself. The third led to a Stewart three-pointer.

Miami suddenly led 38-30.

Ball State had no idea of how to score again.

BOYS SWIMMIG - ~

BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor CANTON, Ohio - The St. Xavier swimming team is in position to win an unprecedented 21st state championship, following the first day of the state meet at C.T. Branin Natatorium here.

The Bombers opened Friday's action with a state record 1:32.47 in the 200 medley relay, en route to a 149-131 lead over defending state champion Toledo St. Francis.

"We're where we need to be," St. Xavier coach Jim Brower said. "We had some great efforts, especially in the consolation heats with several guys winning after doing poorly in the qualifying."

The medley relay was the Bombers' only state championship Friday, but St. X's depth was the difference in opening the 18-point scoring advantage.

Sycamore junior Dan Ketchum easily won the 200 free. ~: . <,.~ in styh , 1:37.29 - more than three seconds faster than his qualifying time of 1:40.47.

"I wanted to go 1:36 but this was close enough," said Ketchum, the defending state champion.

BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor CANTON - Ursuline senior Erin Phenix claimed her seventh and eighth career state titles Friday at the girls state swimming championships, winning the 50-yard freestyle and leading the school's 200-yard medley relay team to the championship in the meet's first event.

And she could win two more, with the 100 freestyle and 400 freestyle relay to go tonight.

It was Phenix who came through for Ursuline in the relay. With Ursuline trailing by nearly two seconds when she entered the pool, she quickly closed the race in the freestyle and won going away.

Tami Ransom, an Ursuline sophomore who at age 16 is the Cincinnati area's youngest-ever swimmer to qualify for the Olympic trials, won the 200 individual medley state title Friday.

"I swim with my eyes closed," Ransom said. "When you get to a state finals, you never know who will win. I don't pay attention to anyone and don't know if I'm ahead or behind."

Going into today's final seven events, Ursuline holds a slim 114-111 lead over Gates Mills Hawken in the team race, which is a concern to Lions coach Tim Beerman.

after surprises

BY MARL{ SCHMETZER Enquirer contributor WILMINGTON - Mark Meiners' wrestling career at Kings High School could be described as spotty - at best.

Meiners, a 125-pound senior, was kicked off the team as a sophomore for exceeding the number of unexcused absences allowed by head coach Joe Woodall. Eligibility problems cost him his junior season.

But Meiners finished fourth in the Division II Wilmington sectional to qualify for this weekend's district wrestling tournament at Wilmington High School.

Winning the Fort Ancient Valley Conference junior-varsi ty 112-pound title was the highlight of his career - that is, until Friday night.

Meiners (12-18) scored one of the major upsets of the first day of the two-day district tournament with a 12-11, comefrom-behind defeat of Urbana sophomore Nathan Snapp, who brought a 28-4 record and the West Liberty sectional championship into the match.

11 "He'll always remember that kid's name - Snapp from Urbana," Woodall said. "Twenty years from now, he'll remember that kid's name. That's the highlight of his four years in high school - not just athletically, but academically and everything. It's been a long time coming." ' Norwood freshman Kevin Messer pulled off a similar upset at 112 pounds with a 5-4 win over Northwestern sophomore Troy Fowler, who was 26-8 and won the Milton-Union sectional. Messer finished fourth in the Mason sectional: Neither wrestler was able to susCain their Inuluentuln.

®ad version not as much fun

BY MICHAEL PERRY The Cincinnati Enquirer The shoe is on the other foot.

Dayton came to Xavier on Wednesday night for an emotional Senior Night with a lot at stake for the Musketeers and got trounced by 28.

Today, XU plays,at George Washington (noon, ESPN) with the Atlantic 10 West Division title on the line for both teams as the Colonials say good-bye to seniors Shawnta Rogers and Yegor Mescheriakov.

"That's part of it," XU coach Skip Prosser said. "When you close on the road, there's a good chance it's going to happen. (But) the game's going to be decided between the lines . The guys know what's at stake."

XU and GW are tied in league play at 12-3. The winner today gets a top seed in the conference tournament, which begins Wednesday in Philadel-

phia. Xavier can still be the top seed overall if it wins today and Temple, the top team from the East Division, loses Sunday at Massachusetts.

Xavier has beaten George Washington five of six times, including three straight twice at the Gardens and once in last year's conference tournament final. XU won at the Smith Center 62-61 in January 1997; last year's game at GW went to overtime with the Colonials winning 78-73.

GW has become Xavier's biggest A-10 rival. Last year the teams shared the A-10 West title with Dayton. In 1997, GW was predicted to win the division but the Musketeers ended up with the championship.

"GW will always be the team we had a tough time with, but hopefully we'll be able to say we. came out on top," Xavier senior Gary Lumpkin said.

The environment today will test the Musketeers.

"It's the kind of atmosphere that we like to play in," XU senior Lenny Brown said.

"We've just got to come out and play hard and match their intensity. I like all teams that play hard. I'd rather play a hard team than a team that doesn't think they can win. I just re-

spect them as a program."

Said Lumpkin: "We like that type of emotion. I think we'll find out a lot about our team. I wish we could've played the game (Friday)."

"Both teams have competitive players,'so every time we face each other, it's going to be a war," Rogers said. "I'm looking forward to it."

The key to stopping the Co-

lonials, of course, is slowing Rogers, the 5-foot-4 point guard and probable conference player of the year.

He has averaged 15.5 points and 5.5 assists in eight career games against the Musketeers, in which he is 3-5. He has shot 37.1 percent from the field, 31.6 percent from three-point range and 66.1 percent from the foul line in those games.

Rogers has scored more than 20 points three times against XU, including a high of 25 on Jan. 14, 1998 in a victory at GW. In a 20-point loss at Xavier last month, Rogers scored just 11 points on 3-of-17 shooting.

"We have to do it by committee, Prosser said. It s got to be a team defense. Usually against the great ones, you have to play defense before they get the ball, but he always has the ball so you can't do that."

Lumpkin's job: Make Rogers work hard at both ends of the court. Attack him off the dribble when Rogers is on defense; don't sit back and let him do

XU also has to keep an eye on Mescheriakov, who was just 3-of-11 shooting for eight points in the previous game against XU. He scored 28 points Wednesday in a 10-point victory over Virginia Tech.

BY MIKE DeCOURCY The Cincinnati Enquirer MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Cincinnati Bearcats coach Bob Huggins cannot tell you which championships mean more to him: the five regular-season titles his teams spent two months each winning in the Great Midwest and Conference USA or the six league tournament titles polished off in no more than three days. " I don't know," Huggins :said."I like to win everything."

The No. 9 Bearcats (24-4, 11-4) are 40 minutes from adding a 12th league title to that collection, the C-USA regularseason championship that will be theirs if they defeat Memphis:(13-13, 6-9) at The Pyramid rat 4 p.m. today.

The Tigers have an abundance of individual talent they have struggled to blend into a cohesive, consistent whole. But whatever challenge they present is less pressing that what the Bearcats must deal with on their own. UC appears to have become a team that fears failure 'more than it craves success: It is allowing pragmatism rather than aggression to govern its play.

This is an approach the Bearcats will need to abandon or risk leaving this season with nothing more than the Great Ala5'ka Shootout title they claimed three months ago: not the 'regular-season title, not a Conference USA tournament championship that would be their seventh league tourney win in eight years, and not the

"That's very emotional," Szczerbiak said. "The fans have taken to us. It was very touching."

Szczerbiak and Frierson roomed together as freshmen and are close friends. But they are very different people.

Szczerbiak is outspoken, emotional and fiery. Frierson is quiet, calm and cool. Frierson came to Miami with the bigger reputation and was the better player early in his career.

Szczerbiak's game developed more at Miami. He has surpassed Frierson tenfold in terms of national publicity.

But Wally wouldn't be Wally without Damon, and vice versa.

"They understand each other," Coles said. "They trust each other. They've made each other better players."

Frierson came to Miami as one of its most acclaimed recruits ever. He led Indianapolis Ben Davis to the state championship as a senior and was named Mr. Basketball.

Frierson had never even heard of Miami before the school started recruiting him.

nior year and struggled that summer in AAU. That was enough to scare off the Big Ten schools, and was the opening Miami needed to get a player of his caliber. His adjustment time to college basketball was zero.

"We'd play in pickup games at the rec center," Szczerbiak said. "He fit right in. He was making shots, going to the basket. I couldn't make a shot the first couple of weeks. It took me some time to get used to the big bodies, but not Damon."

Frierson started all 29 games as a freshman, led the team in minutes played and averaged 11.1 points a game. As always, Frierson did so quietly.

"He's the most low-key Mr. Basketball I've ever seen," said Jermaine Henderson, once a teammate and now an assistant coach.

But Frierson is a relentless competitor.

"Damon's always been a hard worker," Coles said. "He's always made himself better."

When Rob Mestas, the point guard, got hurt last year, Frierson switched from his natural position to play point. When Szczerbiak broke his wrist and missed nine games, Frierson carried the team .until Szczerbiak returned.

~r The Associated Press STATE COLLEGE, Pa. The game came in November.

But, oh, was it an important one for Ohio State. The Buckeyes, 1-15 in the Big Ten last season, surprised Penn State with a 70-62 victory.

"At the risk of. being cute about it," said Jim O'Brien, secand-year coach of No. 10 Ohio State, "by winning that game against Penn State, we were saying, `Well, we got what we got last year and now we have three months to do better.' I think that was real big for us."

Three months later, as the Buckeyes and the. Nittany Lions meet again in today's regularseason finale, it's clear their November game was a harbinger of things to come.

Ohio State-which stood at 1-0 atop the Big Ten for a month thanks to the unusually early conference game - went on to stage the best turnaround in school history. The Buckeyes are 22-6 and 12-3 in the conference, just one season after going 8-22 and winning a lone conference game. The are riding a seven-game win streak.

Penn State, meanwhile,

found that close wasn't good enough. The Lions limped to a 12-13 record, 4-11 in Big Ten play. Six of those conference losses were by four points or less.

So today, the Buckeyes are trying to lock up a high seed in the NCAAs, while Penn State needs to win this game and at least one more in the Big Ten Tournament to finish at .500.

O'Brien said just getting to the NCAA Tournament isn't enough.

"I don't think anybody is saying, `OK, the first goal was we wanted to win more than we lost and we did that," O'Brien said. "... We're continuing to push our guys."

As usual, the Buckeyes will be counting on Scoonie Penn, who scored 30 points-including nine in a late 14-0 run against Wisconsin on Wednesday. Against Indiana, he scored Ohio State's last 10 points. And he had 24 second-half points in a win over Iowa.

Penn State does have one thing going for it: In November, Penn scored five points on 1for-7 shooting and had seven turnovers against the Lions.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Duke never needs additional motivation when plaY1'ng North Carolina — but there it is.

The Blue Devils, in one of college basketball's great rivalries, today can become the first team to go 16-0 in ACC play.

"This week is a very challenging week'for us," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "I don't want to get into making -b uses, ut we'll see if we can Flay 1 at that high, emotional level in this situation.

The No. 1 Blue Devils(28-1,15-0) will also be going for a school-record 24th consecutive victory when they face the No. 14 Tar Heels (22-7, 10-5) at the Smith Center, where they haven't won since 1991.

Duke has lost only to Cincinnati this season.

The Blue Devils clinched their sixth ACC regular-season title of the decade on Feb. 17 and have virtually secured a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.

"There's a tendency to look ahead, and we're trying to make sure that .doesn't happen," Krzyzewski said.

His players don't think that will happen.

Shane Battier, who is doubtful for today's game with an ankle sprain, said the 24-point loss to the Tar Heels last season — the Blue Devils' worst defeat in the series since 1983 — is enough motivation.

"It's added incentive," Battier said. "Our season isn't defined by numbers. But combined with the humiliation we suffered there last year and being on the verge of this record, it would be very special to win there."

Seven ACC teams(North Carolina three times, North Carolina State twice and South Carolina and Duke once) have gone unbeaten through the ACC regular season, but none won 16 games. Krzyzewski insists he isn't worried about the distinction, .~For me to bring that up now,the kids will think I'm a phony," Krzyzewski said. "I've always felt like, 'Let's just play really hard; let's try to win the conference; and let's try to win the national championship.'

Those are our goals."

Stanford one win from its -first Vae.10 title The Associated Press STANFORD, Calif. = Cardinal and white banners hanging from the rafters at Maples Pavilion celebrate the greatness of Stanford women's basketball and volleyball teams.

And now the Stanford men are within one win of hanging a confer-' ence basketball championship banner up there for the first time in • more than a third of a century.

With a win tonight against defending Pac-10 champion Arizona, the sixth-ranked Cardinal would clinch its first title since the conference exPanded to 10 teams in 1978-79.

In the past 20 years, only UCLA, Arizona, Washington and Oregon State have won the conference title.

"Any time you haven't done something, it's important," Stanford coach Mike Montgomery said. "If you look at the Pac-10, it's been incredibly

hard for other teams to break through and win this thing. The conference championship obviously is very important for us."

Stanford (23-5, 13-2 Pac-10) took a two-game lead atop the conference by defeating Arizona State 87-77 in overtime Thursday night while No.7 Arizona was losing at California.

Even if the Wildcats win tonight, the Cardinal still can clinch the title by winning at Oregon and Oregon

State next week. " "Stanford hasn't had a title like :this,for a long time. It would mean a great deal to us," point guard Arthur Lee said. "The ball is now in our court. We have an opportunity to lock it down Saturday, and if not we'll go up to Oregon and get it."

Stanford has not finished first in its league since the 1962-63 season, when it shared the title with UCLA with a record of 7-5 in the AAWU.

Ketchum breaks 500

BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor . OXFORD-It was business as usual for the St. Xavier swimming team Friday.

1.

Performing before a capacity crowd of more than 1,000 at Miami University's Nixon Aquatic Center, the Bombers amassed 539 points to capture the boys district championship.

Anderson finished second with 236 points, followed by Centerville.

"It's gone very well, but we still have a lot of work to do,"

St. Xavier coach Jim Brower said. "It looks like we'll take about 17 swimmers to the state meet, which is a great number."

Two individuals, Sycamore's Dan Ketchum and Jayme Cramer of St. Xavier, won two events, while three meet records were set.

St. Xavier's 200 medley team started the meet with a record time of 1:34.97, while Ketchum broke the 500 freestyle mark and Cramer the 100 backstroke.

The following is a look at each event.

last year. Garth Fealey, Cramer and Rob Toth all followed with good times to set the record in 1:34.97.

"We didn't have breaking the record on our mind," Cramer said. "We wanted to play it safe and qualify."

If> 200 Freestyle: Although defending state champion Ketchum's time of 1:39.89 was well off the district record of 1:36.48, the Sycamore junior was not challenged, after the first lap.

P> 200 Individual Medley: A personal-best time of 1:52.96 gave St. Xavier freshman David Janszen the victory by nearly four seconds over Jason Topits of Moeller. ~> 50 Freestyle: A great start and excellent turn was the

difference for Roger Bacon senior Jeff Luhn, the sixth fastest qualifier in 21.13. ® 100 Butterfly: Cramer, a sophomore, nevered trailed.

Forrest Kennedy of Mariemont swam 26.84 to take second place. ® 100 Freestyle: This was the only event that a Cincinnati swimmer didn't win. Springfield North's Andy Swonger, a state placer last year, won in 46.28.

Swonger was the slowest qualifier in the heat with a time of 49.03.

15> 500 Freestyle: The district record of 4:29.82 set in 1998 fell with defending state champion Ketchum swimming 4:28.83.

"I'm thinking about trying to break my state -cord (4:25.68) _.

next week," Ketchum said.

"But breaking the national record (4:16.39) is a ways away."

1> 200 Freestyle Relay: St. Xavier trailed Centerville the first 100 yards, but Scott Ransenberg and Toth took control the final 100 to win going away.

The biggest surprise was turned in by Princeton. The team of Brad Sprecher, Mark Reichert, Justin Shafer and Dave Bergan took third in a school-record 1:28.40.

II> 100 Backstroke: The district record of 50.37 set by Mike Andrews of St. Xavier in 1992 fell with Cramer, also from St. Xavier, swimming 50.22.

St. Xavier's Earhart beat Cramer at last week's section.

The Associated Press ROCKINGHAM, N.C. North Carolina Speedway is a track where qualifying can have a direct relationship to a driver's_ chance of winning, or even finishing, on Sunday.

The 1.017-mile oval has only 31 pit positions on the front straightaway, meaning that 13 starters in the Dura-Lube(Big Kmart 400 will have to pit on the backstretch. That's a big disadvantage, particularly on yellow flag stops when the driv-

ers up front often are getting done with their stops by the time those in the back are reaching their pits.

The only driver to win at The Rock from the back pits in 67 races was Neil Bonnett in 1988. He started 30th when only 21 drivers pitted on the front straight.

With rain washing away top 25 qualifying Friday, the entire field will be determined today in a single round of time trials, putting even more pressure on

"With two pit roads at Rockingham, you want to avoid that back pit like the plague," Jeremy Mayfield said. "The guys who usually end up on the front are probably going to end up in front anyway. The guys who usually end up on the back are probably going to end up on the

back.

"The tough situation is where you end up with just a little practice time Saturday.

You're trying to set up for the race and set up for qualifying at the same time. You have to focus on qualifying to get one of these frontstretch pits, but you have to work on the race as well."

Paul Andrews, Mayfield's crew chief, looked at the rain and said, "No matter what the weather, some weeks 30 min-

The Winston Cup drivers did get in their full two hours of practice before the rain began Friday.

Mayfield, who finished 20th in the season-opening Daytona 500, was fastest at 156.965 mph, followed by Mike Skinner at 156.870, Daytona winner Jeff Gordon at 156.743, Ward Burton at 156.075, Dale Jarrett at

BUSCH RACE: Lockland native Glenn Allen Jr, was among 14 drivers failing to make today's Busch Grand National Alltel 200 at Rockingham, because Friday's

qualifying was rained out.

Teams will line up today, based on owner's points from last season. Although Allen, ' finished 11th in the 1998 points race, he has since switched teams and has no owner's points to carry over.

Allen finished 16th in last week's 1999 Busch opener at Daytona.

IN LEWOOD, Calif. - An exaserated Magic says g Johnson J Y Dennis Rodman IS "trying rn g to hold US hOS~~ tage, and .the Los Angeles Lakers should forget about signing him.

Johnson said the uncertainty surrounding Rodman's situation has damaged g the image g of the team he led' to five NBA championships during the 1980s.

And that uncertainty continued Friday as Rodman,~~ appearing on ESPN s Up Close, said he still hasn't made a definite decision as to whether he's going to play this season or not.

If I play basketball, it will be between two teams, the Lakers or Miami, and the odds are that's going to happen within the next 48 hours, Rodman said.

Rodman said he would announce a decision by Monday.

"I'm tired of this. I am," Johnson, a part-owner and vice president of the Lakers, said on David Letterman's show Thursday night. "I'm going to say this tonight and I've been holding it. It's like a circus now.: ~0 We are a first-class organization.

The Lakers can sign Rodman only for the veteran minimum of $1 million, prorated to $600,000 for the shortened season and diminishing further with each game he misses.

However, Rodman will receive $3 million in a deal with Converse if he plays in Los Angeles, Chicago or New York.

Jerry West, the team's vice president of basketball operations, said he knew of no developments.

Rodman told UYnn Close host Gary Miller he was the most popular and recognized individual in the world today besides former teammate Michael Jordan.

Rodman also acknowledged that g he has had differences with Lakers star Shaquille O'Neal, but that It wouldn't make any difference if he joined the Lakers.

The Lakers could use Rodman.

Forward Robert Horry, diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat last Sung day, didn't play against the Spurs and will miss at least three more games.

Musketeers aim- high in '99 Pitching could fuel run to A-1o title

BY SCOTT MacGREGOR The Cincinnati Enquirer There was a time, Xavier baseball coach John Morrey said, when a 27-25 season would not only have been acceptable to the Muskies, but considered a success.

That time has passed - a good thing, Morrey believes, because it raises the bar for a program that views itself on the rise. But it also allows for regret and disappointment when 27-25, as the Musketeers were last season, is the outcome.

Morrey wants no regret this sea son; which Xavier begins today atAustin Peay. high,~~ The expectations are very Morrey said. "Our No. 1 pitcher is back; our closer throws the ball 88 mph; we have six senior starters. We know we're going to hit a rough spot early, but if we're healthy, hopefully we can make a run at ;the Atlantic 10

6-0 last season; freshman Greg Wig-

XU BASEBALL title."

Xavier had high expectations last season after winning the A-10 West two years ago. But the nucleus of the club - this year's seniors - faltered at big moments; key injuries beset the club; and consistency was nonexistent.

This year, Morrey's optimism stems chiefly from the experience of his position players and what he calls the best starting rotation Xavier has had in his seven years there.

The staff is headlined by senior right-hander Lou Witte, whose 25 -career wins are a school record. He was 7-5 with a 3.89 ERA last year after going 12-3, 2.98 in 1997, and he throws in the 88 to 90 mph range with control (a school-record 253 career strikeouts).

The rest of the staff is younger, but to fill the rotation Morrey can choose from three talented right-handers (sophomore Jeff Barger, from Hamilton, who threw 55 innings last year; sophomore Matt Raih, who was

gers, a power pitcher) and a lefty (junior James Siefker, who shut out Youngstown State).

And the Muskies have the A-10's top closer, hard-throwing senior left-hander Mike Scuglik (also the starting center fielder), who led the conference with four saves.

How Xavier will score is less clear.

While experienced, the Muskies' lineup doesn't feature a wealth of speed' or power. They hope to manufacture runs behind high-average hitters like Scuglik (.367 in A-10 play) and leftfielder Matt Watson (fifth in the A-10 with a .387 average). The defense is solid, especially up the middle with shortstop Chris Kirkby and second baseman Zach Swisher, who had only 19 errors in 403 chances.

"We have good pitching and good defense, and that's nothing to glaze. over," Morrey said. "With aluminum bats, no matter how good the pitching is, we've still got to score. But if we can get that old cliche - timely hitting - I think we have a pretty good club."

Despite the lack of emphasis on sports, things have drastically changed and SCPA is fielding a girls basketball team for the first time and could offer as many as six sports next year.

This change is the result of several dedicated parents who are donating their time as volunteer coaches. „ We cant assume that all kids who attend SCPA are only nterested in song, dance and the arts," Principal Jeff Brokamp said.

"Most of what the kids do in class is individual development.

Students who participate in sports will learn to develop P under a team concept."

Spickard's father, Al, a teacher at Bridgetown Junior High and a licensed coach, got the ball rolling with Steve Pavlish, another interested parent.

"Next year we'd like to add girls soccer, boys basketball and girls and boys track," Brokamp said. "The kids will have to raise the money, but there's a lot of interest."

Brokamp was quick to point out that academics always come first, with many athletes skipping practice and games in favor of school activities.

"We're in class about 180 days each school year," Brokamp said.

"About 100 of these days the kids are involved in recitals or the production which they can't miss. We can't ever lose focus."

Brokamp applauded Spickard and Tavlish for the long hours and dedication.

"It makes it more interesting to see these kids in basketball uniforms," Brokamp said.

Taft only had seven players and I could tell several were 11 from the JV team."

Withrow didn't press the entire game and the starters played less, than half the,-' game.

"Everyone played hard," Jackson said. "We can't tell the kids to go out and.,not' 11 score."

Taft not only lost its head coach two weeks ago, but also several starters to eligibility. .. CLASSIFIEDS: Winton` Woods is accepting applications for a head football coach.

Moeller A-4t-rte Coach Bill Whatley is looking at growth.

"We bad just nine kids out when I came here four years ago," he said. "We have 20 on the roster now."

Whatley coaches both at the Blue Ash YMCA.and Moeller. Despite haying a solid team, his Crusader swimmers are ranked no higher than fourth in their own conference, the Greater Catholic League South, behind loaded St. Xavier, La Salle aud~Elder.

Whatley and diving coach Jason Glorius must build a team around a handful of athletes.

Seniors Brandon -Pierce and Adam Dunki-Jacobs took the trip to state last year.
