situation l~

still unsettled BY MIKE DeC®URCY ' The Cincinnati Enquirer It once seemed having three able guards would be a luxury for the point P Cincinnati Bearcats. It has turned out to be a necessity. No. 6 UC (4-0) got back one of its three playmakers this week when senior Michael Horton returned to work after missing three games with a foot injury. But Thursday the Bearcats lost another, when junior Alvin ' Mitchell went down with an ankle injury that may keep him out of Saturday's home opener against Oakland (2-4) at the Shoemaker Center. Coach Bob Huggins said he hasn't thought about how to rotate Horton,

'Horton is practicing with no apparent effects from the foot injury that kept him from making the Alaska trip. Although it was feared he developed a stress fracture, Horton has gone through four days this week at relatively full-speed.

Maryland gets 8th straight blowout win The Associated Press COLLEGE PARK, Md. — It was an amazing exhibition, even by Maryland's suddenly lofty standards. Second-ranked Maryland made its first 14 shots Thursday night and built a 22-point lead in the opening eight minutes en route to its eighth straight blowout victory, 92-69 over NaKe orest. Obinna Ekezie had 19 points and the Terrapins (8-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) placed four players in double figures in the first half while taking a 54-29 lead against the stunned Demon Deacons. Steve Francis scored.18 points and Laron Profit 16 for Maryland, which won its first seven games by an average of 34.2 points. This runaway victory came against a team that had beaten the Terrapins six of seven times, including twice last year. Maryland led by 38 points before coach Gary Williams cleared his bench with five minutes left. "I thank Gary Williams for being gracious," Wake Forest coach Dave Odom said. "They could have rrbeaten us a lot worse. We know that.

He played in the opener against Rhode Island and lasted 16 minutes, passing for two assists and scoring five points, but aggravated the injury. The three games and practice time he missed left him behind in the fight for playing time at the point. His week in practice has not been entirely smooth, although the soreness has been mostlyeliminated bY wearing g two ankle braces and a wrap. "He throws the ball away too much," Huggins said. "He's got good floor vision, knows where the ball is supposed to go, but he's got to do a better job of delivering It without throwing it away." UC went to Alaska wondering how its Ppoint - guard situation would develop with Horton not along for the trip. In three games, Mitchell and Logan averaged 14.6 points, 5.0 assists and 2.3 turnovers, shooting 17-of-37 (.459) from the field. A team that a year ago averaged 15.8 turnovers is ~

down to just under a dozen per game. Which is not to say all the point guard concerns have been addressed. Without Horton, UC allowed Duke's William Avery to light up the Alaska night with 30 points and 5-of-11 three-point shooting. Opposing point guards have made 10-of-26 (38.5 percent) from three-point range. Norton's defensive skills most likely could solve this, although UC would sacrifice the shot-making ability both Logan and Mitchell bring to the offense. "I thought maybe if I was there, I could have helped defensively, put a lot of pressure on Avery," Horton said."My goal would have been to try to shut him down." There seems to be no urgency to locating a starting quarterback for the Bearcats. It is uncommon for a team to run the position by committee, but also uncommon for a team to have three players it trusts at the point.

out. Last year, he played mainly on the interior. This year, he's worked hard on his perimeter game and will swing all over the court and take his share of three-point shots, while still slashing to the goal. ' His combination of athleticism and skills is such that one collegiate assistant familiar with Jackson calls him a Larry Hughes-type talent. One recruiting service had him ranked among the Top 20 freshmen in the nation last year. Of course, that comes dangerously close to sounding like hype. A couple of memories from his freshman season might be a better tool for helping define Jackson as a player. He sheepishly recalls being so nervous that he threw up before his first varsity game at St. Henry in Northern Kentucky. He then turned around and scored 23 points, leading Purcell to victory. The Cincinnati Enquirer/Michael Snyder Nerves continued to be a Purcell Marian sophomore Keith Jackson, looking to pass the ball during practice problem, particularly during the points and eight rebounds last season. Jackson (33)said the first halves of games last year, (above), averaged 15 Bacon was Roger game a turning point: "I was playing against Eugene Land (below until Purcell first met up with in the first half... Once I relaxed and started to play getting around pushed left) and GCL North foe Roger Bacon. felt when I I could play with (varsity) guys." that's well in that game, Jackson was paired inside against Bacon's terrific duo of 6-7 Eugene Land and 6-5 Brandon McIntosh. "I wals playing against Eugene Land and getting pushed around in the first half, then I INDIANA got a tip dunk, which helped," Jackson recalled. "Once I reSouth Dearborn laxed and started to play well in East Central when I felt I that's game, that ► Coach: Randy Snodgrass t* Coach: Kevin O'Rourke (36-30) could play with (varsity) guys." (245-103) Jackson went on to get two No. Last year's record: 9-11 (5-5) No. Last year's record: 17-4 (7-1) Pos nit Yr more dunks in the second half Pos Nt Yr Nam Name 10 6.1 12 Brandon Gabbard ..................................G 6-0 J.D. and finished with 17 points. ..........................................G 5.11 12 Carrico Brian 11 Zak Kirchgassner...-_-.-_..__..--.....G 6.0 5.11 11 11 Ryan Davies ..............................

Turn the volume on the hype machine down to barely audible. Keith Jackson won't mind. For now,he wouldn't despair of being just another sophomore, enjoying his days at Purcell Marian High School. The hype machine - overzealous media, scouts and fans and always in search of the next new, hot thing, particularly when it comes to young athletes sees him playing basketball and wants to shout out his name. "There were a lot of people who said a lot of things last year, but my mother reminded me not to worry about what other people say, just listen to my family,"Jackson said. "Yeah, I'd like to play in the NBA someday, but she said to just stick with my goals, do the right things and the things I want to do, and she'll support my decisions." Jackson toiled in near-anonymity last year, averaging 15 points and eight rebounds per game for a 5-16 Purcell Marian team. His low profile was partly by design, as Purcell coach Mike Gergen tried to keep undue pressure off his prodigious freshman. This year, the secret will be harder to keep. Many expect Purcell to be much improved, and Jackson is seen as a top contender for the title of Cincinnati's best player. And over the long run, Jackson is widely viewed as the best collegiate prospect playing right now in the city. "He's fantastic athletically. You watch him from the sidelines doing things you can't teach,just natural ability," Gergen said of Jackson. As a 6-foot-5, 190-pound sophomore, Jackson is developing his game from the inside to enjoy it, don't let it run you."

LaRosa's extends its huge congratulations to the Mount Notre Dame High School volleyball team which claimed its second Division I state championship in the last four years. The Cougars overwhelmed Mentor, 15-6, 15-12,to win the first state title for coach Donna Mechley.It capped a remarkable turnaround as MND went4-20 last season. It also ended a run offrustration for Mechley, who lost in the state I F AI-it Roger Bacon,and lost t%Nice in the state semifinals and championship matches as head coach ofthe St. Xavier boys program. She attributes part ofthis year's turnaround to the addition offull-time assistant Greg Ulland, who played on Moeller's state championship team. 'Two people at every practice helped tremendously," Mechley said."Plus, we told them when the came back in August that there would be no fooling around and that we mean business." The girls took it to heart,obviously.Their toughest match was probably the state semifinals against league rival Ursuline Academy,who defeated MND twice during the regular season. Mount Notre Dame's state championship team includes: Meghan Meador, Krista Mestancik,Lisa Allgeier, Liz Engel,Pam Brannen, Anne Mitchell, Sarah Arlinghous,twins Michelle and Jennifer Emitting, Carrie Snier, Karen Tobias and Jennifer Burke. LaRosa's commends Mount Notre Dame on its outstanding achievement!

—

Freshman COLUMBUS, Ohio Megan Duffy scored 16 points and Dayton Chaminade-Julienne's relentless fullcourt pressure forced 25 Lima Bath turnovers to .win the Division II state title 42-34 Saturday afternoon. Chaminade-Julienne became the first school to lose in a title game and then come back to win the championship in a different division. A year ago, the Eagles lost to Pickerington in the Division I finale, 44-27. After graduating four starters, including Ms. Basketball Tamika Williams, they won 26 of 28 games including their final 13. Elise Ryder, the only returning starter from last year's final-game disappointment, had 11 points.

Vikings' first trip to the state tournament. Regina Smith, a first-team All-Ohioan, totaled 21 points and seven assists, while Megan Flynt had 13 points all in the first half as VASJ(25-3) built a double-digit lead. Mandy Petry had 12 points to lead Casstown Miami East, which lost for the first time after 26 victories.

Benedictine chasing history Associated Press

COLUMBUS — Cleveland Benedictine coach Frank Novak will find out tonight if speed beats size in the boys' state basketball tournament. If it does, his Bengals will be just the third team to win three consecutive Ohio state championships. Benedictine (20-6) opens the tournament with a Division II semifinal against Philo (22-3) at 6 p.m. at Value City Arena. Benedictine starts three guards and two forwards. Philo features a starting lineup of two guards, two centers center and a forward — and that forward is about tall enough to play in the middle. Philo centers Chris Ballenger and Jason Trout are both 6-6 and start along with forward Pat Rush,a 6-5 senior who leads the team with a 14point scoring average. Novak said he hopes five returning starters, including three who average in double figures, can carry the Bengals into the championship game.

"A bond has really developed between them, and they appreciate each other." Redd, a Columbus native, said that Penn's arrival has helped his play. Besides drawing away some of the defensive attention, Penn has delivered the ball to Redd in better position to score. "Last year, I was by myself, I kind of had to carry the team by myself," said Redd,a second-team All-Big Ten selection on the Buckeyes'8-22 team last season."There were times when he

(Penn) was sitting out when I'd look at him and say, `C'mon man, help me out.'

"Sometimes last year, Coach would just tell me to do whatever." Now, Redd is happier with his game, because he knows he can't be labeled as simply an offensive guy. "I had more assists, I've rebounded better," Redd said. "Plus, I've taken better shots. Last year, a lot of the shots I took were bad." Redd gives O'Brien credit for forcing him to diversify his game. "He yells at me more than anybody else. He wants me to be the best player I can be. He's always telling me,`Don't settle for anything less.'" And Redd is trying not to.

By Marls Ztnld ar6 Reporter Dispatch Sports At least on a miniature scale, East Liverpool point guard Danny Swoger knows what it's like to walk in the shoes of actor and heartthrob Leonardo DiCa rio. The day after the Pottersreached the Division I state boys basketball tournament with a victory over Springfield South, adoring grade schoolers swarmed Swoger and his teammates for autographs. Things like that happen in the Ohio River town of approximately 17,000, where there aren't any professional or college sports teams to embrace. "There have been a lot of congratulations, people saying, `Great job,' and a lot of great support," Swoger said. "Everywhere you go people have to tell you what we've done. Little kids come up to ask for autographs." The Potters (23-1), who will meet Shaker Heights (24-1) in a semifinal at 6 p.m. Friday, were the talk of the town long before qualifying for their first trip to Columbus since 1947. It's not uncommon for fans to drive a couple of hours to watch their football and basketball teams. Homeames are a hapg p peeing. The players realize their every move is being studied,especially by the little ones. "You have to be on your best behavior because you play for East Liverpool," Swoger said.

Gregg Collins was only in the early stages of gathering information about state tournament opponent Cincinnati Moeller, but the Mansfield Senior coach already had the book'` on Crusaders standout Mike Monserez. s "I'm a huge Notre Dame fan and I subscribe to Blue and Gold Illustrated," he said.RM "I've been reading detailed reports about this kid since he committed to the Irish his junior year. I've been very anxious I to see him play -just not against us. I hope all the rave, I reviews I've seen on him are all wrong,at leastfor one game." Mansfield Senior (22-3) meets Moeller (19-6) in a Division I state semifinal at9 p.m. Friday in Value City Arena [ Monserez, a 6-foot-5 point guard averaging 19.6 points and 6.2 assists per game, will be a player worth watching in a tournament largely devoid of big-name standouts. "Mike is not the quickest guy in the world and he doesn't jump out of the gym," Moeller coach Carl Kremer said. "He's hardly an unbelievable physical specimen. "He's just a kid who uses his size, work ethic, court awareness and understanding of the game to make up for his limitations elsewhere.

The doctor who reconstructed Jon Higgins' left lamee last August was optimistic about a full recovery. Higgins, a 6-foot-3 senior point guard from Shaker Heights, had only one problem with the rehabilitation plans: He wasn't going to live without basketball until his freshiman season at the University ofTennessee. "I had never been hint like that before," Higgins said. "Oh, I had a broken finger and things like that. Then the doctor told me it would be the whole year. I said I'd come back for-at, least the playoffs." When the Red Raiders (24-1) meet East Liverpool (23-1) in a Division I state tournament semifinal at 6 p.m. Friday in Value City Arena,Higgins will be in the starting lineup. Coach Bob Wonson knew Higgins was running in a swin-; ming pool with a weighted vest, lifting weights and going through other rehabilitation exercises. But he was taken aback when Higgins was playing full speed almost six months to the day after having ligament surgery. He: suffered the injury landing awkwardly during an AAU game iii.; July in California. "I heard that Jon was hurt and said, `Well, there it; goes for us,'" Wonson said. "I thought we'd have a chance t:o go far in the tournament with Jon. Then he began practicing full timeDec. 24 and received clearance to play six weeks later. Jon just, wouldn't believe the doctor." Some have said Higgins' offense isn't up to speed. His soonn ing average is a modest 9.4 points per game, but he leads thehe team in assists (4.0) and steals (3.8) and has been running tkre offense flawlessly. "Shooting the ball is what Jon does best, and he hasn't shot-.. that well," Wonson said. "But he has been a great calmin , influence. He gets the team organized and has been a disrupting force. He had 31 steals his first nine games back. His value 94.9so sway beyond points." Shaker Heights was a state basketball power before F_iggirwarrival.

People have told him the atmosphere in the gym was absolute bedlam. "I just kind of tools it in stride because I felt I could have played well before I actually played," he said.

By Mark Znidar Dispatch Sports Reporter Bedford Chanel could have the weight of the world on its shoulders being ranked No. 1 in Division III and having the only spotless record in the state basketball tournament. But coach Greg Kraley said the players are almosttoo loose. "That, quite frankly, doesn't affect us," Fraley said of the 24-0 record and ranking. "The bottom line, the cliche everybody uses, is taking it one step (at a time). Our guys really think that. "The last time we were at state, in 1996, we were the same way, laughing and screwing around. They just play. They don't look at things as pressure."

Neither does Beverly Fort Frye (24-2), Chanel's semifinal opponent at 2 p.m. today in Value City Arena. The Cadets reached Columbus by larocking off Grandview, a state tournament team in 1998, in a regional final. Fort Frye's motto has been if the three-pointer doesn't fall, shoot and shoot again. Coach Dan Liedtke said many fans will wonder how a bunch of short, skinny country kids got this far. The reason is Fort Frye averages almost 10 treys per game and doesn't stop hustling until the final buzzer. "We don't have a big man and we have to shoot so many threes," Liedtke said. "The normal team comes down, runs its offense and shoots for two. We're in a spread and we're in

position behind the arc almost all the time. Almost everyone on our team has permission to shoot the three. "I've run this for years. To get to the level we're at now, this is the only way to beat the big teams. Our kids really get motivated offit." Fort Frye comes at teams with five guards. The team has made 236 of 608 three-point shots-an astounding 21 coming in a victory over Caldwell-and six players have made at least 26 treys. The Cadets have won 17 straight since a four-point loss to Waterford, but haven't seen a team with as much talent as Chanel. Firebirds guard Brian Swift, who averages 20.5 points, is rated the best sophomore in Ohio. His rum-Ling mate, Brandon Childress, also is a handful to defend.

But (history, not talent, could be Fort Fryes biggest problem. Chanel is motivated by its., regional final loss last season to Massillon Td.§ law. "Last year we got overwhelmed and said, `Hey, we're here and we're supposed to wiry it,'" Kraley said. "We learned a big lesson front' that. This year all they've talked about is the Tnslaw loss." Chanel also has thrived on playing a wide-: open game. Kraley demanded a business-like style until several players approached him. "They said, `Coach, can we have a littio: more freedom?'" Kraley said. "I've listened to; them more than any other team I've had. Now r, I've become kind of a loose guy. I've never hail. a team that has had so much flan playing to,. gether."

SARASOTA, Fla. —Second baseman Carlos Baerga, g a former All-Star with the Cleveland Indians, reported to Ed Smith Stadium yesterday, put on a Cincinnati Reds uniform and went to work on rebuilding his reputation. Baerga, 30, signed a nonguaranteed minor= league contract with the Reds on Tuesday. He wants to erase the "out of shape" stamp the St. Louis Cardinals put on him when they released him March 17 after only 15 at-bats in six games. He would have made $1.25 million if he had made St. Louis' opening day roster, but the Cardi nals didn't think he was worth the investment. Baerga, who said he routinely carries more than 220 pounds on a 5-foot-11 frame in spring training,said the out-of-shape label is a bad rap. "They thought I was kind of heavy," Baerga said. "I've been like this all my life. I am no skinny guy. My body is like that. I know sometimes I come to spring training a little bit heavy. But I always lose it. That's why you have spring training. "In all my years in Cleveland, I always weighed from 220 or 225 and I started the season at 217 or 218. So I came down." He didn't shrink fast enough for the Cardinals. "It hurt a little bit," Baerga said. "It doesn't bother me that much. The only thing that bothered me is they decided to make a move after four (starts). I don't think that's fair." Baerga hit .314 for the Indians in 1995. After he was traded to the New York Mets in 1996, his career began to spiral downward. The Reds are

IMUck rr,_'S --arre% of state awatd From stgffcrud hire reports Todd Rock, who guided Zanesville Rosecrans to a fourth straight Central Catholic League championship, was one of four sharing the Associated Press Division IV Ohio coach ofthe year honor. Rock shared the award with Kevin Sheridan of Ironton St. Joseph, Rick Brook of top-ranked Sebring McKinley and Perry Reese Jr.. of state qualifier Berlin Hiland. rvcic's senior standout, G-foot-1 guard Joe Bills, was first-team AllOhio along with Central District player of the year Aaron Levering of Cardington. Bills, Rosecrans' all-time leading scorer and a Wright State signee, averaged 21.3 points. Levering averaged 21.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.7 steals for a regional finalist. Juniors Sam Smith and Jason Weakley, who powered Worthington Christian to the state tournament, made the second team. The player of the year in the small-school division was 6-foot-2 senior guard Ryan Snyder, who scored 28:1 points a game in leading

Sebring McKinley to a unbeaten regular-season record. He accounted for 44 percent of his team's scoring. In Division III, Brian Swift of Bedford Chanel and Todd Schlensker of Cincinnati Madeira, who led their teases to the state tournament, were named co-players ofthe year. Swift, a 5-10 sophomore, averages 20.5 points a game for unbeaten and top-ranked Chanel. Schlensker, a 6-0 senior, also averaged 20.5 points for second-ranked Madeira. The Division III coaches of the year were state tournament-bound Dan Liedtke of Fort Frye and Greg Kraley of Chanel. In his 14th year at Fort Frye, Liedtke used a lineup packed with underclassmen to go 18-2 in the regi lnr season. Kraley survived a tough schedule and young lineup. The only area first-tealner in Division III was Central District player of the year Seth Hoyng of Highland, a 63 junior who averaged 18.7 points, 5.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.5 blocks while shooting 55 percentfrom the field. Senior guard Justin Wendel of Grandview made the second team.

Bowden downplayed Harrdsch's problem. "No one has led me to believe it's going to get worse," Bowden said. "I think it's all a muscle thing and it will go away." He expects Harnisch to anchor the 10-man staff that opens the season. He is tempted, but won't bring more pitchers north. "I'd have 12 if I had my way," Bowden said. "You can't the way rosters go these days. But we've got to stay healthy." The Reds, he said, will open with six outfielders, seven infielders and two catchers. "That may change," said Bowden, who is trying to trade third catcher Brook Fordyce and seventh outfielder Jon Nunnally. Deals with the Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox could be cooling.

ANOTHER SCARE — Reliever Scott Sullivan pulled himself out of yesterday's game with Tampa Bay after delivering a 1-and-1 pitch to David Lamb with two out in the eighth inning. He said afterward that he strained a gluteal muscle on a pitchto former Reds catcher Joe Oliver. "It was clearly precautionary," Sullivan said. The Reds won the game 5-4. Pokey Reese had two hits and an RBI. Sean Casey had two RBI. Steve Avery (2-1) earned the win despite giving up three home runs. ® YOUNG SIGHTING — Right fielder Dmitri Young missed his seventh game since straining his left knee during an outfield practice session. He received electric stimulation on the injured knee and later hit in the batting cage and ran. He expects to play Saturday in Bradenton, Fla., against the Pirates. "I'll be fine," he said. "If I come back Saturday, I'll still have seven games."

WINTER HAVEN,Fla.(AP)— Professor Phil Re gan's Pitching 101 class is taught most clays in the bullpen at Chain O'Lakes Park. On this morning, Jerry Spradlin, Cleveland's 6 foot-7 reliever with a 100 mph fastball, is Regan's student. Today's lesson: throwing from the stretch position. Regan, back this year for his second stint as the Tribe pitching coach, has detected flaws in Spradlin's delivery. He thinks Spradlin would have better con trot and more power if the right-hander would keep his elbows closer to his body and hold his hands higher when he comes to to set position. "Keep them right in here like this," Regan says, showing Spradlin the proper position. At first, Spradlin seems uncomfortable. His first pitch sails high and wide of the strike zone. After a few more erratic throws he stops for more instruction. "Try it up here," Regan says, now grabbing Spradlin's arms and placing them where he wants them. "Don't drop them down and let's see what happens." S pitcln pops the catcher's nett. 7. "That was pretty good, wasn't it?" Regan asks. The Indians hope Regan can have similar results with their other pitchers, especially young guns Bartolo Colon and Jaret Wright. After former pitching coach Mark Wiley, now with the Kansas City Royals, was reassigned by the In-

Turner, named co-Ms. Basketball earlier in the week, averaged 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.0 blocks and 4.0 steals this season.

gives us six weeks to get him into shape." The Reds didn't waste much time in contacting. Baerga after the Cardinals released him. "Cincinnati right away the next day called me," he said. "We wound uP talking. g I realized that f Cincinnati had been after me since November. That's why I decided to come here. ._ "I am no rookie. I ant not a guy that just started in the big leagues. I've been there for a long time. It's confusing when a guy calls you at your house eight times like (St. Louis manager) Tony LaRussa did. I felt like they really wanted me there. Sometines you don't listen to the right things." Baerga's chance to break into Cincinnati's starting lineup seems slim. The Reds are set at second base with Pokey Reese. Mark Lewis and Chris Stynes will probably be backups. Baerga didn't seem perturbed by that or the possibility of spending time with Class AAA Indianapolis. "Whatever," he said. "I know that I've been out for a week and half: I need to get some at-bats. I'll be back in the big leagues. Whatever it takes, I'm y going to do. Whatever they decide, I'm ready to go. I'm going to play hard." Assoc iutecI P,,,, Baerga knows many of the Reds from playing Cincinnati Reds newcomer Carlos Baerga is out with or against them.

"He's one of the ones that signed me with the deal includes two key dates: April 20 and May 15. By April 20; "If he gets an opportunity to be on Padres," Baerga said. "I was 16. I know what he another 25-man roster, we have 48 hours to trade likes from you. He wants you to hustle every day him, bring him to the big leagues or release hum," and come prepared. I think this is the place- right here for me. This is a team that can be in the Bowden said. "On May 15, he can ask for his release. So that playoffs."

SARASOTA, Fla. — On paper, the Cincinnati Reds starting pitching rotation looked strong when the team reported to camp ,in mid-Febtuia►y. With opening clay less than two weeks away, the paper is wrinkled and sporting a coffee-mug stain. The Reds announced yesterday that left-hander Denny ,Neagle, acquired in an off-season trade with the Atlanta Braves, will open the season on the 15-day disabled list because of muscle weakness in his left shoulder. Although the Reds were expected to disable Neagle, another bit, of news coming out of the clubhouse made the move appear more troubling. Pete Haunisch, a 14-game winner last season and the club's expected opening day starter, was scratched from his scheduled appearance Friday against Philadelphia because of back spasms. Neither Hasnisch nor Reds general manager Jun Bowden seemed worried. "I can move around pretty good," Harnisch said."But there's some discomfort."

too late. Woods'fourth trey of the fourth quarter made it 48-44 with 16.5 seconds left, but even after Pat Rush of Philo missed two foul shots at the 14.5second mark,the Electrics had fouls to give and hacked the Bengals on the floor four straight times. Unable to find a three-point shot, Jason Kaiser dunked atthe buzzer. "Over the years, we've been able to come from behind, but we dug too deep a hole tonight," Benedictine coach Frank Novak said. "There were a few shots we could have knocked down and it would have been a new ballgame, but let's give some credit to Philo. They were up in ourface all night." Philo, which came in allowing opponents only 46 points per game, held Benedictine 27

"I'm sure some people in Cleveland have never heard of a place called Philo, and maybe they didn't think we could compete with them," Van Reeth said. Even Novak conceded that much. "These kids had an awful lot of pressure on them to win their third this year," he said. "I think everybody was looking forward to Saturday already. Maybe weforgot aboutPhilo."

Firebirds, take wing after trailing early By Mark Znidar Dispatch Sports Reporter

pa+ By Mark Znidar and Steve Blackledge Dispatch Sports Reporters Marlene Bihn's stomach has been churning nonstop the last several weeks. But life has never been better for this frazzled basketball mom. She cheered some of the time yesterday as son Chris coached Coldwater to a 68-61 victory over Cincinnati Madeira in a Division M state tournamentsemZ: "Mom gets nervous," she said. "When everybody else stands, I'm sitting. It's hard to watch." Her nerves won't get a break because son Chuck; a 6-foot-5 junior forward, leads Fort Recovery against Berlin Inland today in aDivision N semifinal. Chris Bihn said he'll also be jittery watching his younger brother. He has scheduled Coldwater's practice and meeting around the Fort Recovery game. "I'll probably get more nervous for this game than ours," Chris said. "Sitting up in the stands, it's a situation that's totally outofyour control." He does have faith in Fort Recovery coach Joe Bruns. They were teammates at the school. Bruns said Chuck is the bestrebounder he hasseen since Chris. John Bihn, the father, plans to have fun no matter what happens. He started the family basketball way of life. In 1965, he was an honorable mention all-state selection at Fort Recovery. "You just don't want to get me hollering," he said. "We've been doing this a long time. We've always followed our high-school ballplayers. We're always at a high-school game. I never believed in sitting in front of the television. I put a court up in our yard a long time ago and we played for fun." The state tournament is nothing new, . for the family. Tina and Lynn.played in the girls state tournament in 1990 and Lynn returned in '91. Lynn, who played college ball at Xavier, coaches the Fort Recovery girls varsity. "I'm always talking with Chris about offenses and defenses, particularly during the summer and preseason," she said. "I'll tell you, someday I want to do what Chris is doing — coach in the state tournament I've been a spectator and a player.I wantto do all three." Another sibling couldn't make it yesterday. Doug, who coaches the girls junior varsity at Fort Recovery, will watch ChuckWday. ■ RANGE WAR — Although top-rated Bedford Chanel is the favorite to win the Division III title, senior guard Brandon Childress and his teammates wouldn't mind seeing a one-division state tournament like Kentucky has. Big-school favorite Shaker Heights and Chanel have been rated Nos. l and 2 in the Cleveland area all season. Shaker edged Chanel 76-73 in • a scrimmage in November. "That scrimmage was pretty intense for a game that didn't really count," Childress said. "We were both trying to win pretty hard for bragging rights up north "Sure, it's going to be nice playing for the state title, but if it came right down to it, I'd rather play Shaker Heights to see who the bestteam isin any division." ■ GOTTA HAVE HEART — Most Philo players have inspirational markings on the backs oftheir sneakers. Guard Darren Tigner chose hearts. "Early in the season, a lot of people doubted that we had heart when we didn't win by a lot and lost a close game," he said. "The hearts remind us to bush our butts and play hard for 32 minutes„ Center Chris Ballenger has "team" and "seniors"on his shoes. "It's because this could be our last game and it's real important for the seniors to come outand play hard," he said.

Chanel used a three-pointer by PercyRobinson and two by Brandon during the run tat gave it Chilress a 31-141ead with 4:17 left before halftime. Fort Faye might have been too concerned about 6-foot-6 center Larry Penn underneath and sagged its defense. We surprised them because they thought we were a driving team and talked about our inside game,"' Childress said. "They zoned us and we shot the lights out Then when our big men get involved there's nothing you can do." The Firebirds, who were led in scoring by Childress and Robinson with 20 points each, were 8 of 18 (44.4 percent) from three-point range. The. inside game began to click early in the third quarter when Penn had two dunks off the fast break and two layups that boosted the lead to 49-25. "That was the most athletic team I've ever played against, even counting summer," Fort Frye guard Dan Richards said. Asked if he had any advice for Coldwater, Liedtke said, "Good luck." Coach Greg Kraley.has been trying to build a state championship team at Chanel for eight years with a challenging schedule and athletic players who play under control. The team reached the state.semifinals in 1991 and'96. "We play a variety of competition," he said."We played some good teams in the beginning, and in the long run that made usabetter team. "To' me, the biggest difference (from the last state team) is experience.We've been in the big games."

Uy Craig Merz Dispatch Sports Reporter The Ohio State hockey team's first brush with the NCAA Tournament last season left it feeling like a schoolboy meeting the father of his prom date. "We were nervous, 'real nervous at the start," junior center Hugo Boisvert said. "I know Yale was all over us. It was one of our worst first periods all year." The Buckeyes, however, overcame the jitters and blanked Yale 4-0 in their tournament debut, then toppled Michigan State 4-3 in overtime to reach the Final Four. That experience certainly won't hurt Ohio State (21-15-4) when it faces Maine at 5 p.m. today in the first round of the East Regional in Worcester, Mass. The winner plays Clarkson on Saturday with a trip to the Final Four next week in Anaheim, Calif., at stake. 1,,7 as nervous this time," Boisvert said. A slow start could mean a quick exit. The Black Bears (27-6-4) averaged four goals per game while hovering an-tong the top fivein the polls. "They have speed and skill. We have to contain their top players," senior Chris Richards said. The Maine man is senior left wing Steve Kariya, the brother of NHL AllStar Paul Kariya of the Anaheim Might Ducks. Steve Kariya has a team-best 57 points (23 goals) and is a leading candidate for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the top college player. Boisvert also is a finalist. "I don't know much about (Kariya)," Boisvert said. "It's my team against his team. I probably won't play against his line." Although the teams have not met since 1992, OSU feels as though it knows the Black Bears. "They remind me of Boston College," senior Dan Cousineau said. "They're fast, a good offensive team. They don't like teams that play defense." The Buckeyes, though, are seeking a better result against Maine than they had in the last two meetings with Boston College — a 5-2 loss in the national semifinals last season and a double-overtime defeat in the first game this season. Both Maine and BC are members ofthe Hockey East conference.

CCHA teams have won seven of the last 15 NCAA titles, and that number rises to eight with the inclusion of Northern Michigan, which won it all in 1991 as a member of the Western Collegiate Hockey Assomition before rejoining the CCHA in 1997. Michigan, which won the CCHA tournament this season to receive an automatic bid to the NCAAs, brought home national championships in 1996 and'98. While the CCHA is known for being a physical and defense-oriented conference, Maine brings a different style to the ice. "Maine has a transition game like Michigan, but it's more wide-open," OSU coach John Markell said. "They're not as big as Michigan State or Michigan. They're looking for defensive breakdowns." OSU will counter with a trapping defense and All-CCHA goaltender Jeff Maund. "We're going to play a very difficult team," Maine coach Shawn Walsh said. "They are a team with experience, a tearn that some people say has the best goalie in the country, a team that has been there before."

Maine line: This is Maine's first NCAA appearance since 1995 — it was banned from postseason play in 1996 and '97 for rules violations. It won the national title in 1993 with future NHL players Paul Kariya and Garth Snow. Kariya's brother, Steve, leads Maine with 57 points (23 goals, 34 assists). Cory Larose is second with 46 points, including 20 goals. Kariya's sister is on the women's team and a younger brother has committed to play for Maine next season.... The teams will play twice in Columbus next season and two times in Orono, Maine, during the 2000-2001 season....

It was adopted when found dirty and abandoned in the Moeller locker room at La Salle in the season's final regular-season game, a 68-65 victory that set the stage for Moeller's tourney run. Moeller seniors Tre Hughes and Mike McHugh took it home, cleaned it and it somehow turned into an unofficial mascot. It occupies its own seat on the bench during games and, before every practice, was placed prominently on the stage at the end of the gym, positioned to watch over practice. Junior center Steve Rosfeld carried the lamb into the Value

Crusaders adopted stuffed lamb BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor COLUMBUS — When a team has won five tournament games in which it was considered the underdog to reach the state finals, it is bound to pick up a little superstition. In Moeller's case, it's been hard to miss — an oversized stuffed Iamb that occupies a place of honor on the Moeller bench. The lamb has quite a history.

City Arena on Saturday when the players began shooting warmups before the Crusaders championship game against Shaker Heights. "The players plan to shave it if we win the championship," Moeller Athletic Director Dick Beerman said. BIG SOPHOMORE: Sophomore Matthew Sylvester's important role in Moeller's drive to the state championship game comes as no surprise to his father, Mike, a 1970 graduate. "I've worked with Matthew since he was 2 years old," Mike Sylvester said. "I knew it was more difficult to

MOELLER NOTEBOOK learn the perimeter skills so he's worked at guard because I wanted him to learn to pass, catch and shoot." Although Matthew was born in Cincinnati (1983), he spent much of his life in Italy where Mike played 17 years for a professional team following graduation from the University of Dayton (1974). "Every day before practice and after practice, I worked an hour with Matthew," Sylvester said. "I also coached him the second through the

sixth grade in Loveland." Matthew's only brother, Mike, was killed in an automobile accident in Italy at the age of four. "Matthew is a source of pride for me and my wife, Lisa, for obvious reasons," Mike said. "He would have been in that car with his brother but stayed home with me because of sickness." Most of the major colleges, including Kentucky, Xavier, UC, Dayton, Indiana and Ohio State have already expressed interest in Sylvester, who is expected to grow at least four more inches to 6-foot-10. "I can tell you this," Syl-

get shave

vester said. "Matthew will attend school within 200 miles of Cincinnati because we want to watch him play." Mike pointed to Matthew's 18-point second-half effort against Beavercreek, including the winning tip-in, as indicative of his potential. "Against Beavercreek, he showed great potential and he will get better," Mike said. NO SURPRISE: The fact that Moeller qualified to the Division I state championship game did not surprise, Eric Thomas, former coach of the Aiken Falcons. "We played all the top teams in Cincinnati and I told

everyone that Moeller was the best," Thomas said. "They have two good guards (Mike Monsorez) and Jeremy Duncan) and a great coach (Carl Kremer)." I'LL TAKE MOELLER: In the prediction department, Oak Hills coach Mike Price favored Moeller over Sly 'cer Heights in the Division!state championship game or Saturday. "Moeller should be able to penetrate against Shaker Heights and get the easy layup," Price said. "Shaker Heights also showed a little nervousness and Moeller's crowd could unnever them.

Moeller,* claims division I title CONTINUED FROM PAGE Dl Then Monserez added another three with 1:41 to play that pushed the lead to 59-50. A 12-2 run by Shaker Heights made the ending a scramble, as the Raiders pulled to within 51-48 with 3:30 to play. But Shaker Heights would never get any closer, thanks to Monserez's heroics. The second half opened with a 5-0 Moeller spurt, as Jeremy Duncan made a three and then two possessions later threw an alley-oop for a dunk by Sylveslo-, Moeller had its lead, 38-24, with 6:10 left in the third. They matched that margin again on a three by Chris Welsch that made the score 41-27. Two long passes by Monserez over pressure produced layups by Duncan and Hutzel, pushing the lead to 45-28 with 3:15 left in the third. At quarter's end, Moeller still led 49-36, although Shaker Heights was beginning to have more success producing turnovers with its pressure defense. Moeller was further pinched for its stretch run when Sylvester went out with his fourth foul at 7:30 with Moeller ahead 49-39. In the first half, Moeller made the first move to take control of the game by employing a 1-2-2 zone in the second quarter which put the brakes on Shaker Heights' offense. Shaker Heights led 20-19 5:17 before halftime, but only scored two fast-break baskets

the rest of the half. Moeller meanwhile got eight straight points from forward Brad Hutzel in the final three minutes, after he returned from an extended period on the bench with three fouls. Meanwhile, 6-6 Moeller sophomore continued to be completely unfazed by his surroundings, leading Moeller with 14 first-half points. Moeller was shooting 64 percent at halftime, compared to 35 percent for Shaker Heights. MVP: Monserez was ,nm,:d MVP of the Division I tournament. The Notre Dame-bound Monserez, scored 13 points in Friday's victory over Mansfield. In the championship game, Monserez sank two cluch three-pointers and two free throws during the final two minutes to clinch it for the Crusaders. Sylvester and Duncan were also named to the all-tournament team along with Sidney Williams from Shaker Heights and Danny Swonger from East Liverpool.

The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Keith Waleskowski's 5-foot jump shot with 1.1 seconds to play in overtime lifted Kettering Alter to a 49-47 win over Philo in the Division II state championship game. The 6-foot-9 senior finished with 17 points, his younger brother Adam had 12 and Mark Borland scored 11, including a desperation three-pointer that sent it into overtime. The win gave the Knights (21-6) their second state title.

Pazt-:.:~fi !(A Philo (21-7)

with 21 points. Darren Tigner scored 11 and Chris Ballenger finished with 10 for the Electrics, who were making their third appearance in the tournament. Philo has never won a state championship. Alter shot just 37 percent for the game (17-for-36), but made them when they counted most. With time winding, down in the extra period, Borland fed Keith Waleskowski in the lane. His shot bounced off the rim twice before falling with 1.1 seconds left. Philo had one final chance, but Keith Waleskowski blocked a shot from the 6-foot-5 Rush. Waleskowski raised his arms and yelled as his teammates mobbed him during a midcourt celebration at Value City Arena.

isanned bands make for lackluster tourney

It's time for the Ohio High School Athletic Association to shed its conservative image and begin the 1999-2000 school year on a positive note by lifting the ban on pep bands, noise makers and banners at all boys' and girls' basketball tournament games. Rather than having a dull atmosphere, the Ohio tournament would be more like those in Indiana and Kentucky where school bands create a festive mood. Moving the boys' state basketball tournament to Ohio State's recently completed. 19,500-seat Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center was a decision by the OHSAA to be applauded. It would have been easy to justify keeping the tournament at nearby St. John Arena (13,323 seats) rather than assume the added cost of higher rent and increased security at the new facility.

Wake up, OHSAA. Add some excitement to an experience the players and fans will remember for a long time. The Value City Arena is plenty big and can handle a few musicians. Ticket prices have escalated to $7, but the same dull atmosphere existed at this year's tournaments. BAD SEATS: The most common gripe voiced at this year's boys' tournament concerned the seating arrangement. Students and fans from the

High school iosi o Dave Schutte But now, with more than 6,000 additional seats, OHSAA officials cannot argue that pep bands would take up valuable seats and keep interested fans from seeing the game. Played last week at St. John Arena, the girls' tournament also will be moved to the new arena in 2000. Yet a change in the band rule isn't likely unless pressure is nut on Commissioner Clair Musearo and the seven members of the Board of Control, the governing body of the OHSAA. Muscaro has always been against the lifting the ban. "This is something we review from year to year," Muscaro said. "We'll take a look at it, but I won't make any promises."

sold end-zone seats, with the best seats — between the baskets — going to outsiders. As a result, most of the cheering came from the ends, adding to the already stuffy atmosphere. TOURNAMENT NOTES: Since 1923 when the first state boys' basketball tournament was conducted, 127

schools have claimed the 191 state championship trophies awarded. Middletown is the leader with seven state championships, followed by Columbus East with five. Other Cincinnati schools to win multiple titles are Elder (3), Hamilton (3) and Lockland Wayne (2). . Local schools with one championship are LaSalle, Lincoln Heights, Mariemont, Purcell Marian, Roger Bacon, Woodward, Hamilton Badin, Ross, Hamilton Taft, Hillsboro, Middletown Fenwick and Lakota. Besides Madeira and Moeller, two other schools made a first appearance this year. They were Shaker Heights and Columbus Beechcroft. Canton McKinley has made the most appearances (24), with the Tigers winning once and finishing second eight times. Middletown and McKinley share the record for

most appearances(nine)in the championship game. St. John Arena hosted the boys' tournament for 39 years, beginning in 1957 until last year. Due to a conflict, the tournament was moved to the University of Dayton Arena in 1986 and '87. The boys' state championships were contested at Cincinnati Gardens in 1953 and '55 and at Cleveland Arena in 1954 and '56. A three-year contract was signed for use of the Value City Arena, with an option for three additional se c,n n_ s through 2004. AIKEN COACH OUT: The announcement by Eric Thomas that he won't return to coach the Aiken boys' basketball team is a major loss to the community. "(Principal) Tom (Higgins) and I talked, and there were a few things he wanted done differently," Thomas

said. "Consequently, I like where our basketball program was, but our principal wanted to go in a different direction." A disciplinarian off and on the court, Thomas had complete control while demanding excellence. His players never questioned a call and displayed a high level of sportsmanship, which was a credit to Thomas and the school. "I have seen very at-risk men latch on to our basketball program and eventually come to realize that there is a future _..__ hem," T!lomas said. "Above any victory or trophy, to help a kid develop into a positive and contributing man is my reward." In three seasons at Aiken, the Falcons went 52-18 under Thomas. They claimed the 1996-97 city championship with a 17-3 regular-season record.

COACHES NEEDED: Ursuline has the following coaching openings: varsity field hockey, freshman and reserve volleyball and assistant varsity basketball. Call Diane Redmond at 791-8143.

The Associated Press RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Dottie Pepper and longtime friend Meg Mallon seemed to have turned the Nabisco Dinah Shore into a matchplay event. The two are familiar with the format, having been teammates on the U.S. Solheim Cup squad. Pepper, whose only major championship came seven ' `.. years ago in the Di- . nah Shore, opened a -'. three-shot lead Saturday as Mallon stumbled to a double bogey on the last hole. Pepper shot a 5Dottie Pepper under-par 67 to go D to 13-under 203, helped by holing a sand wedge from 79 yards for an eagle on the par-5 ninth hole. Mallon, who led the first two days of the tournament, the LPGA's first major of the year, had a 71. Mallon still may be the only player to have a realistic chance to catch Pepper, since the golfers nearest the two — Juli Inkster and Kelly Robbins — are six shots out of the lead. "Dottie and I turned it into a little play," Mallon said. "We got a A.. lot of momentum together, were kind of feeding off each other.

It was the highest score by a third-round leader since the tournament moved to the TPC at Sawgrass iA 1982. Despite a three-putt bogey on the 18th, Phil Mickelson finished with a 71 for one of only six rounds under par. He was at 213 along with Skip Kendall, whose 70 was the best score on Stadium Course. Scott Hoch, Nick Price and Colin Montgomerie were at 1-under 215. "It was like playing Augusta and the U.S. Open on the same day," Montgomerie said after a 73."I like none of them, so if you put it together, it's worse." Twenty-nine players began the third round under par. By the end of a day of groans and moans, only six remained. Nick Faldo, even-par over the first six holes, finished with an 83, his worst score ever in America. EMERALD COAST SENIORS: Bob Duval kept his lead through the second round of the Senior PGA Tour event at Milton, Fla., setting the stage for a possible father-son victory celebration in Florida.

While his son, PGA Tour money leader David Duval took the lead in The Players Championship at Pointe Vedra Beach, Buzz Thomas narrowed the elder Duval's lead from four to three strokes. If the Duvals can maintain their leads today, they would be the first father and son to win simultaneously on the PGA and Senior tours. "I know David's been in that position a lot of times; I'vq been in 1t two or three times," said Bob Duval, who has yet to win in his professional career. "He knows how to handle it. I'm going to call him tonight." EUROPEAN TOUR: Spain's Pedro Linhart fired a 1-under 71 and retained a one-shot lead after three rounds of the Madeira (Portugal) Open. Linhart had a 54-hole total of 11-under 205. England's Justin Rose, the fourth-place finisher at last year's British Open as an amateur, still hasn't earned a dollar as a pro. Rose missed his 16th consecutive cut when he shot 42 on the back nine for a 77 and a 9-over 153.

Duke turns opponents inside out Teams have devil ofa time stopping diversified offense By Tim May Dispatch Sports Reporter

Associated Press

Michigan State has won 22in a row with Mateen Cleaves,left,running theshow.

Dogged competitor m Mateen Cleavesof Michigan State hasdeveloped a knackfor helping his team prat the bite on opponents. By Rob oiler Dispatch Sports Reporter Mateen Cleaves runs the Michigan State offense like one tough mutt, which may explain-.`why Y his career DOW-11. Roil pa- , cal. ~ue Ikuppeii ~n, lulu wura& over. Up. The All-American point guard has been on a high lately, the pinnacle playing out this week as the Spartans revisit the Final Four for the first time since 1979, when they won the national title with Magic Johnson barking the orders. Cleaves, a 6-foot-2 junior from Flint, Mich., is no Johnson, which should be a relief to Duke, the Spartans' semifinal opponent Saturday in St. Petersburg, Fla. But Cleaves does share certain qualities with Johnson, namely the ability to get the ball to the right player in the right situation, and the ability to make a huge play at crunch time. "When the game is on the line, Mateen finds a way to get the ball in the basket or come up with a big steal," MSU coach Tom Izzo said. Outside crunch time is where the Cleaves/Johnson comparison truly separates. Cleaves is not the world's greatest shooter, which means he's also not an exceptional scorer. In four NCAA Tournament games, he was 17 of47(36.2 percent)from the field. "It's no secret that his shot is missing in action once in a while,"Izzo said. Fortunately for MSU, Cleaves doesn't need to pour in points because the Spartans have enough other offensive weapons. All they expect from their floor general is victory, and he has a knack for it. MSU has won 22 straight with Cleaves atthe controls.

"He not only is my best defensive player but also my hardest worker, and that's what all coaches hope for," Izzo said. The work paid off last season as Cleaves earned fast-team All-American status in leading MSU to a Big Ten co-championship. Down. Earlier this season, Cleaves behaved as if he were a dog tied in the back yard. He looked pained, his enthusiasm unable to match that of his teammates. The problem reached its peak in back-to-back losses to D-an wlc: ,&zziectcut ;n early December, when he shota combined 5for32(15.6 percent)from the floor. One person who noticed that Cleaves lacked his usual energy and enthusiasm was Johnson, who pulled him aside and offered simple advice:have fun. "If Magic says I'm not shooting enough then I'm not shooting enough," said Cleaves, who has struck up an almost brotherly relationship with Johnson. "If he says I'm not running the team then I'm not running it. His advice to me was to have fun while rm doing this." Cleaves snapped from the doldrums near midseason and the Spartans have not lost since a 66-51 setback to Wisconsin on Jan.6. "People keep bashing you until you win games," he said. "When you win, it blocks everything else out All anyone can say about me now is that I'm a winner." A tough one at that. Cleaves describes MSU's style of play as smash mouth, although for him it turns out to be more smash head. Among the most replayed moments of the NCAA Tournament occurred when Cleaves collided with Oklahoma forward Eduardo Najera, sending both men to the floor in a motionless heap. Cleaves suffered a bruised head, Najera a concussion and cutchin, but both returned to the game. "Mateen is very tough. As soon as I saw him get to his feet I knew he was going to play," Spartans forward Jason Klein said. "That's just how he is. Knock him down and he gets back up, and by doing that it carries overto the restofthe team.

"I think a lot ofitcomesfrom Flint" Flint is a blue-collar city that has a bad reputation as a hotbed of violence and hopelessness. Cleaves and three teammates — Morris Peterson, Antonio Smith and Charlie Bell — comprise the Flintstones. They don't deny that their hometown has problems, but they prefer to see the brightside. "A lot of what people know of Flint is the violence or the plant closings ... we want people to see there are positive things, like all the athletes we have in the pros," Cleaves said. "I want people to realize that Flint is a nice place." Roll over. As much as Cleaves has shown leadership skills during games, his decision-making off the court has been questionable. Cleaves found trouble before he even arrived on campus from Flint Northern High School. While on an infamous recruiting visit to Michigan in 1996, Cleaves was a passenger in the sport utility vehicle driven by former Wolverines player Maurice Taylor. The vehicle left the highway and rolled over when Taylor apparently fell asleep atthe wheel. Following the accident, Cleaves struggled with a lower back injury that caused him to gain weight and lose ground hisfreshman season. Cleaves found trouble again last season after Michigan State defeated Michigan for the first time in three years. In the early morning hours after the win, police arrested him and teammate Andre Hutson on alcoholrelated charges. Cleaves acknowledge he has made plenty of mistakes, but he added that he has learned from them and become a better person through the hardships. Others have noticed the positive changes. "He's been through hard times and it has built character," Klein said. Up, down and roll over. Cleaves has not only survived but thrived through it all. One thing this tough breed won't do is play dead.

It was during a timeout midway through the South west Missouri State game last Friday when a perturbed. Mike Krzyzewski addressed his players. "Forget the jump shots," the Duke coach said, among other things. And for a while, the smoothest, most talented and: best shooting team left in the NCAA Tournament did as it was told. The Blue Devils took the ball to the hoop, took control and earned aspotin the Final Four. Duke did so without making a substitution. It went from a finesse perimeter game to an inside attack at the whim of its coach. That, said Temple coach John Chaney.. — whose team lost to Duke on Sunday in the East, Regional title game — is the beauty of the machine Krzyzewski has wrought The Blue Devils did the same thing against Temple's zone defense. One possession they were attacking the middle, the next they were clearing guard T -4an Langdon for wide-open shotsfrom the outside. "He hit a few shots and that opened it," Chaney said. "Then you look up and you see five of their guys on the outside and nobody in. Then there's one guy inside and four guys out "I don't know how to tell other teams to prepare for that. This team is equipped to play at the highest level of basketball right now. Not just physically, but their will and their skill — believe me,there is something here that teaches them a little bit more. "They've got wisdom." The Blue Devils'individual talents are a given Fifth-year senior Langdon and sophomore point. guard William Avery are a formidable backcourt. Sophomore Elton Brand has been incomparable down low. Junior forward Chris Carrawell is a defensive stalwart: and offensive swing player. Sophomore Shane Battier, can do a little ofall ofthe above. And that's just the starting lineup. Consider that the man who flew in for a monster put-back dunk at the end of the first half against Temple, freshman Corey Mag-, gette,is looming on the bench. "He's one of the best athletes in the nation," Langdon said."And for him to be the sixth or seventh man coming' offthe bench,I think he has done a greatjob in thatrole. "I think it shows how strong we are. It also shows what kind ofplayer he is,to be able to accept that role." Maggette figures his time is coming, as do sophomores Nate James and Chris Burgess, the enforcer who spells Brand on occasion. The question continues to be whether the Blue Devils can be stopped, especially on offense, where they average 92.9 points per game.

"When Trojan was hurt, I'd say zone us," Carrawell said. "I wanted to keep that a secret, but he's back now: So take away thatzone stuff. "So if you go into a game plan saying you're going to double-team Elton Brand, well, who are you going to double-team off of? You can't double off Will or Trojan. And I don'tthink you can double off me or Shane. "Corey Maggette is coming in, Nate James is coming in. I don't think there is any kind of perfect game plan to really stop us." Chaney doesn't think there is. "I think its pretty difficult to plan to beat 'em," he said. "They execute out of a very strong team concept, and yet you have a lot of `I's' out there, a lot of guys who have great individual ability, who can dribble, pass, shoot and see." It's the kind of team that should make even its own coach shake his head in lucky amazement "For me, I've shaken my head for 19 years, saying, 'How can I be so lucky to be at Duke,' because I get an. opportunity to get kids like this," said Krzyzewski, who won national titles in 1991 and'92. charter flight to St. Petersburg, Fla., tending the Final Four to find downtown With this team in particular, "I shake my head a little where it will meetOhio State on Saturday. shuttle stopsfor this weekend's tourney. bit because they are still improving," he said.

5,000 Connecticut fans give Huskies big sendoff Associated Press About 5,000 Connecticut fans filled their home court yesterday in Storrs, Conn., to give the Huskies a rousing sendoffto the Final Four. After losing in three regional finals in the past 10 years, coach Jim Calhoun told the crowd the Huskies are not satisfied with just making it to the national semifinals.

"We have the best fans in America, and that's the truth," Calhoun said to thunderous applause. "What we're going to Florida for is to match you and to bring home the national championship." Gampel Pavilion reverberated with the cheers and stomping feet during the players' brief appearance, which was broadcast live on three local television stations. After the rally, the team left for a

61-year-old topped 600 wins this season

By Mark Zeidw Dispatch Sports Reporter Beechcroft coach Joe Dudas confesses that the control freak inside him used to break outlike a Tasmanian devil ifone ofhis players got too cute with the basketball. Five years on the job and a team full of marvelous athletes have mellowed Dudas to the point where ifa pass sails into the stands or a dunk clangs off the iron, he'll smile through gritted teeth. It's the price tag that comes with loosening the reins. His kinder, gentler demeanor and an emotionally tight senior class have led the Cougars(20-4)to the Division II state basketball tournament. They'll face Kettering Alter(19-6)at 9 tonight in the semifinals in Value City Arena. "When these guys were.sophomores, I tried to run some patterned offense," Dudas said."Then I talked to some people last year and they said sometimes youjust have to let the players go play. "Some coaches want to keep a thumb on them at all times.These kids are at their best when they're explosive.Ifthere's something I don't like seeing, I'll bring it to their attention.Butthis is their tournament. When they get this far, you let them play." While the Cougars do love to play their explosive style, they are quick to point out that they don't flaunt their dunks or take great pleasure in intimidating opponents. "We don't showboat," Woods said. The senior starting five — 6-foot-8 Delano Thomas,forward J.C. Zimmerman and guards Marchello Cox, Damien Lee and Lamar Woods — even keeps the talk to a minimum. In a district championship game victory over Eastmoor, Cox used his 41-inch verticaljump to throw down a thundering onehanded dunk on a breakaway. Rather than celebrate as the crowd roared, Cox motored back to play defense. "When we alley-oop against teams and surprise them, we just act like it's a regular situation," Lee said."We do that on a daily basis." Showtime or not, the players are given freedom to create no matter the situation. That was never more evident than in a re-

Reese at home in Amish country Atfirst, black coach was stranger in a strange land By Steve Bladdedge Dispatch Sports Reporter It's The Andy Griffith Show, Hoosiers and The White Sliadow all rolled into one. How could Hollywood possibly miss out on such a gem ofa story line? An urban-raised black man becomes a high school basketball coach in the largest Amish community in the world, building a state powerhouse team and gaining flocks ofonce skeptical admirers along the way. Berlin Hiland coach Perry Reese even offered a catchy title for the yet-to-discovered movie about his life: The Original BlackAmiskman.The Adopted Son. The plot would include turmoil, triumph and many lessons aboutlife. A Canton native who never played high school basketball, Reese began his coaching career at Guernsey Catholic near Cambridge, Ohio. The school closed and he accepted a position as an assistant under legendary Charlie Huggins at tiny Berlin Hiland in eastern Holmes County. "To tell you the truth, this was an area I wasn't familiar with

at all," he said."I needed ajob,I had some contacts and I thought Charlie wasa good person to learn under." One season later, Huggins moved on and Reese was appointed head coach in 1985-86. Despite returning only one letterman and adapting to an entirely new style of play, the Hawks advanced to the state tournamentin Dayton. "Even though we were successfulright away, I must admit I had my problems Perry Reese thosefirstfewyears,"he said."Ithad nothing to do with the kids. It was strictly a social thing.This was a completely differentsituation for me." Reese, a Catholic, was the only black citizen in a county comprised almost exclusively of Amish and Mennonites. "At fast, people had a problem with me because I brought in a city-type game, so to speak, with pressing and running," he said. "Before, it was like a four-corner slowdown." The hoops-crazy fans eventually warmed to Reese. Now he's one ofthe mostadmired citizens in the community. "Atrust,it was like mixing oil and water," he said. "I'm a very demanding individual and the background and makeup of these kids is that they're extremely hard workers," he said. "That was the connection we needed. Everything clicked from there. A certain number of people

sortofadopted me and here I am 15 years later." This will mark the Hawks'second straight trip and fourth overall to the state tournament under Reese, who has racked up 279-82 record (a .773 winning percentage). They were DivisionIV champsin 1992. Even before Reese arrived, Hiland was a hard-core basketball town. The girls team, 157-32 in eight seasons under Dave Schlabach, also is flourishing. It has qualified for the state tournament four times, including this season when it lostto Hopewell-Loudon in the semifinals. This marks only the ninth time in history that boys and girls teams from the same school qualified for the state tournamentin the same year. "Basketball is the only thing everybody has in common around hele," said Keith Troyer, a former player under Reese and now his assistant. Hiland doesn't crank out Division I talent, just hardworking, hard-nosed players. "Unlike most schools our size, we don't have three-sport athletes. We have basketball players," Reese said Many are surprised Reese has stuck around this long. Large, prominent schools throughout the Akron-Canton area reportedly have pursued him for several years. "He could make a lot more money somewhere else," Troyer said. "The only thing that keeps him here is the kids. There's a bond between Perry and his players that's hard to put into words. He just loves these kids to death and they feel the same way about him."

Career victory No.600 for Kettering Alter coach Joe Petrocelli was a big deal. The Knights presented him with a plaque marking the accomplishment, City Council proclaimed a "Joe Petrocelli day" and the school renamed the gym in his honor. But there was one thing Petrocelli didn't appreciate — all the hoopla was interfering with his work on win No.601. "Coach liked everything that was done, but it was like, 'All right, let's get going. We've got to play the game," " center Keith Waleskowski said. The players wanted so much to win No.600 for Petrocelli that they 3 played poorly and lost ~= i to Cincinnati St. Xavier and Cincinnati McNi i cholas to fall to 1-2. Rival fans chanted, "599, :y. 599,599"afterward. The Knights finally Joe Petrocelli did it in game four, vs. Dayton Char inade-Julienne on Dec.20. Winning the Division H state tournament — Alter (19-6) meets Beechcroft(204) in a semifinal at 9 this morning — will be a much higher mountain to climb. Petrocelli, who is maldng his sixth trip to the tournament and fourth this decade, has faith in this bunch. "This team just seems to have a lot of heart," he said."When we started the tournament we didn't have great expectations. Now it has been a little magical, to tell you the truth. "They just think they're never going to get beat. I do. I'm always asked what I said at halftime when WO Will. I s..' a:::-.`t ;uxi make just a few adjustments. Most of it is them. We've gotten the ball to go in just when we've needed it the most and gotten on rolls." That has been the story for most of Petrocelli's 35 seasons as the school's only basketasket ball coach. Jim Paxson led Petrocelli's fast tournament team in 1975, and three years later John Paxson directed the Knights to their only championship. Petrocelli had modest expectations when he accepted the Alter job coming out of the U.S. Army. Now he has an eye on the state high school victory record of 695 held by Paul Walker at Portsmouth and Middletown. Next month, Petrocelli, 61, and Dick Kortokrax of Kalida will be inducted into the Ohio Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame. Petrocelli's record is 617-187. "I was just trying to win a tournament game when we started, and then in the '70s we got a lot of sons of ex-Dayton Flyers who could really play," Petrocelli said. "It reached the point where every year I think we have ashotat the state finals." The Knights reached the tournament this season by winning two overtime games in the regional. Waleskowski, a 6-foot-9 senior who has signed with Dayton, said the Knights win because Petrocelli has instilled toughness in the team. "I've played on varsity all four years at Alter, and I've learned that he cares about his players a lot," Waleskowski said. "The younger guys, he tends to get on them more in practice. That's how he gets more out of them. He'll help them through things. As you get older he trusts you more. "As a sophomore it seemed like he was picking on me. It wasn't personal. He just wants you to learn." Beechcroft coach Joe Dudas has told his players to expect a smart, fundamentally sound opponent. He finds it difficult to fathom the success Petrocelli has had. "Think about it, 617 wins," he said, laugh- e ing. "I've got 245 wins, but 617? Do you realize how good you've got to be and how long you've got to do it?Just amazing."

.~ "''Thave biate By Mark Znldar Dispatch Sports Reporter During most games - and especially in the state tournament - Fort Recovery coach Joe Bruns would have tunnel vision from his spot on the sideline. But who can blame him if he were to cast an occasional glance into the stands on Friday during a Division IV semifinal against Berlin Hiland? His wife, Denise, is due to give birth any day, but will attempt to watch Fort Recovery go for its first championship since 1971. Bruns said he'll make eye contact with Denise at points during the game, Two doctors will be at the team's hotel and will sit near her on game day. Denise, however, has balanced child birth and basketball before - the couple's 15-month-old boy, Chase, was born in December as the 1997-98 season was heating up. Plus, she said, she's not the type who will be screaming her lungs out.

"I'm pretty quiet. I've been told I'm too quiet to be a coach's wife," she said. "I'm not one to stand and holler. "It has been a great season, real exciting. I'm looking forward to being at the tournament. I know I don't have to go up and down too many steps. That's good." March Madness has been so hectic that Joe, a mathematics teacher, has had trouble keeping up with his classroom duties. "I've been keeping myself pretty busy," he said. "Our grading period just ended and we've been taking everything one day at a time. It's )and of overwhelming. It's hard to stay focused and do your bestjob in the classroom. "When all this basketball is over, we'll let out a big sigh and rest a little bit. Then we'll be able to look back and see all that we've done." The prospects of building a state tournament team didn't look too bright when Fort Recovery finished 5-17 in Bruns' first season. He started

three sophomores: forwards Chris Guggenbiller i and Clark May and guard Scott Dilworth. The trio helped the Indians improve to 14-7 last season and to 24-1 this year. "It has been fun to watch these seniors," Bruns said. "They gave us a good, solid framework when I took thejob. "People talk about us not having been to state since 1971. Heck, we hadn't been to a regional since 1971. This group has been special." Fort Recovery won the Midwest Athletic Conference title and its first sectional in five ,years. "Once we made it to the regional - after playing that great schedule and winning a lot of close games - the kids have that mentality of refusing to lose," Bruns said. The Indians hardly resemble a small-school r team. Guggenbiller is 6 feet 2, 235 pounds and May s andjunior Chuck Bihn stand 6-5. "Playing in our league, you just have to be physically strong to compete," Bruns said. 1 F

Bengals rode 6-7 senior center Albert Wilson, who's at the University of Toledo. This time, Novak has the luxury of six seniors among the top eight players, led by Crosby and guards Chris Leanza and Mike Woods. Novak thinks the players won't be anything like they were as sophomores. I remember feeling the kids' hands. They were as cold as ice," he said. "I won't ever say this is old hat, but it's a little more comfortable for them. "First of all, we're going to enjoy the week. A lot of people don't do this once in a lifetime. To do it three times is amazing. Who knows when we'll be back? On game day we'll just play as hard as we can. It has been a great ran." Leanza, who will attend Yale, said the usual big-time regular season schedule has prepared the Bengals for anything. Even playing in the new Value City Arena rather than the comfort zone of St. John Arena won't bother the players, Leanza said. "We've played in so many big games," he said. "We're comfortable playing in pressure situations. all played in at least one state championship. We have four starters back from last year. I think we'll be fine." Benedictine has developed quite a legend. Students come from all over the Cleveland area and generations of the same families have crossed the threshold. Legendary football coach Augie Bossu, 84, still coaches junior varsity baseball and freshman football. "It might put a little fear in the other team's eyes y when they see Bengals g on ourjerseys," Leanza said. Opponents will be interested in lrnowing the Bengals don't turn the talent switch on and off. This week's practices have been long and difficult. "The practices are very physical," Crosby said."We put in a lot of hours. Coach doesn't want us to get back on our heels. He's so intense. He wants us to get after it and play hard. "Whenver I'm feeling tired I just look at my championship rings. They're inspirational."

By Steve -lackledge Dispatch Sports Reporter It has been done-19 times over the last three seasons, to be exact. Two-time defending Division H champion and prohibitive favorite Cleveland Benedictine can be beaten. No doubt,Philo coach Todd Van Reeth has been drumming the message into his players'heads all week. "I consider it a tremendous honor to play a _ team ofthis caliber because you should always respect your opponent," he said."But if we come out in awe ofthem at 6 o'clock Thursday in the I Schottenstein Center,it will be all over by 6:15." Van Reeth will be the fast to concede that his Electrics (22-3) need to control the tempo and a establish their bruising inside game to repel ' Benedictine(20-6). "We don't have the quickness to pressure Benedictine like we have some teams, but we have some pretty good big lads who move well ----- -" and can shoot it," he said. Todd Van Reeth "The bottom line is we're going to have to take care ofthe basketball to keep them from running up and down thefloor with it." Philo returned all five starters from a team that lost by a point to Dover in a regional final last season. "it was so frustrating to be that close," -Va-a Reeth said,"but my father was a coach for a long time and he explained to me a long time ago that it takes a little luck to get there, too. I'm really glad these seniors are getting this opportunity." Van Reeth's father, Jack, enjoyed an illustrious career, most notably with the Millersburg West Holmes girls. Third-year senior starters Art Rush (6-5) and Chris Ballenger (66) pace the balanced Electrics. Rush averages 14 points per game and Ballenger 11 points and 8.0 rebounds. In turn, Benedictine returned four starters from its state championship team, including guards Mike Woods and Chris Leanza,. who average 18 and 17 points per game, respectively. Leanza, coplayer ofthe year in Ohio, has committed to Yale. "Leanza's probably the best we've ever had here, not skill-wise but all-around," coach Frank Novak said. "He's a great leader out there and makes super decisions with the basketball." With dominating 6-7 center Albert Wilson having taken his talents to the University of Toledo, this guard-based Benedictine squad has a decidedly different look. At times, the Bengals bombarded opponents with three-point shots. Benedictine tackled a brutal schedule and came away 7-6 before discovering its `A'game. "Playing an independent schedule really benefits us because we can handpick opponents a year or so in advance and let our guys develop gradually for the tournament," Novak said. "This schedule was definitely the toughest we've ever played. It prepared us for big crowds and a lot of different styles of ball."

BOYS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

i ,

West star lands top.h.onor ei Isaac Jefferson,the do-it-all man who powered the Cowboys to a 21-2 season,is the player of the year. By Steve Blackledge Dispatch Sports Reporter s Kent Burgert nearly choked when asked how his West boys basketball team might have fared the last twoseasons withoutIsaac Jefferson. u ~4 "Oh, goodness gracious, I can't imagine that," Burw ,! gert said of the 6-foot4 guard-forward who averaged 18.1 points, 17.9 rebounds, 7.O assists and 3.8 steals per — game this season. "We'd have been nothing without Ike. Well, I take that back. We'd be nowhere close to this. He was the a catalyst to everything we did." i For his value to West's 21-2 season, Jefferson, a senior, was selected DispatchAgonis Club player of the year.

US."

In leading Berlin Hiland to three state tournaments, coach Perry Reese Jr. has schooled his players on the game's finer points, such as position defense and blocking out undemeath the boards. Unfortunately for the Hawks, Reese can't teach height. Chuck Bihn, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound junior center, bulled inside to score 31 points and grab 11 rebounds in leading Fort Recovery to a 68-55 victory over Hiland yesterday in a Division IV boys state semifinal before 16,326 in Value City Arena The Indians (25-1) will go for their first championship since 1971 against Worthington Christian (23-3) at 5 p.m. today. Hiland's tallest starter was 6-1 guard Josh Mullet. The tallest frontcourt player was 5-11 forward Erik Miller. It didn't matter if the Indians double_r_ teamed Bilul or picked him up got a chance to set up down low. "Chuck had a great matchup for us to exploit," Fort Recovery coach Joe Bruns said. "Our plan going into the game was using Chuck Bihn to the fullest. Our plan was to get the ball inside." Bihn scored Fort Recovery's first 13 points, but Hiland led 19-18 after one quarter by hitting three treys and getting some baskets offfast breaks. The Indians slowly began to take over when Bihn hit a short bank shot and followed his own miss and knocked in a short jumper to provide a 32-25 halftime lead. "We had bodies on him. It wasn't as if he got uncontested layups," Reese said. "He was just bigger and stronger than

Bihn averaged a team-high 16.7. points, but he didn't think he'd have such a big game. "It just worked out that way," he said "I didn't :':rant them to overemphasize it. _---It was a lot of fun. This was about the' best time you could do it." z~ After Bihn had a putback that made it 42-28 with 2:37 left in the third quarter, I `Hiland figured to step up its three-point l l attack. But Fort Recovery's 3-2 zone, with 6-5 Clark May playing middle man out top, never gave the Hawks a chance to setup.__Hiland was 9 of 25 (36 percent) behind the arc, including 4 of 14 (28.6 percent) in the second half. "I felt with our size we didn't match up well," Bruns said. "I start three guys who are 240 pounds who are trying to match up end line to end line. Ninetypercent of the time we like to match up man. (The zone) took away their gene tratton, and that was the bottom line." =-a T d saw a sinular zone in splitting two games with Sugarcreek Garaway, J which has players6-10 and 6-8. "We got looks," Reese said. "It's just that we didn't (hit the) shots when we -, got the looks." Forward Kendall Schlabach, who led the Hawks with 21 points, said the zone did make a difference. "Every time we went to shoot, there â&#x20AC;&#x17E; wassomebody there," he said. Fort Recovery's size also negated Hiland's full- and half-court presses. The Indians' big men took their time and ?` passed over the defense.' -. "The main thing was to be strong and don't be tentative," guard Scott Dilworth Alysla Peyton IDispatch said. "We had to pass over it and don't Chuck Bihn of Fort Recovery,shooting over Josh Mullet of Berlin try to dribble through it." Hiland,scored 31 points and had 11 rebounds.

y Mark Znldar Dispatch Sports Reporter Shaker Heights center Michael Tucker, a 6foot-6 shot-blocking and rebounding machine, rates with the best high-school big men in Ohio. Coach Bob Wonson is just thankful that Tucker doesn't limit his game to the paint. In the Red Raiders' 71-63 victory over East Liverpool in a Division I boys state tournament semifinal last night before 16,807 in Value City Arena, Tucker was a catalyst in the fourth quarter with two dunks off steals and a slick pass in the open courtto Anton Smith for a layup. His athleticism propelled Shaker Heights (251)to its 21st straight win and into the charitpionship game at 8:30 tonight. "Mike thinks he's a guard," Wonson said. "He has the body of a big man and the heart and soul of a guard." After making two free throws to forge a 55-52 lead with 4:51 left, Tucker picked off passes in front of the East Liverpool bench on two straight jAr':',=::' ,r,;.:,; :I !Jrjbbl,:d the 1": o.sC Of Me i'OOy, for thundering,one-handedjams. "I just so happened to be there," Tucker said. "I went there and took it. I didn't anticipate anything." Tucker said he had to make up for a poor first half. He did more than that in finishing with a game-high 18 points, nine rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots. "This was a big game for me," he said. "I had a lot of intensity and I just had to get my game right."

Smith said Tucker often gives the~Zed Raiders the spark they need with a blocked shot, steal or other eye-opening play. "Those steals were huge," Smith said. "We feed off Michael's energy. Those dunks got the crowd going and everybody going. We've come to expectthat of him." Tucker didn't stop there. Two East Liverpool possessions later, he blocked a shot in the lane, recovered the ball and fed Smith with a long pass for alayup that made it 62-54. A third Tucker steal, with 1:41 left, resulted in two free throws that made it 613-57. "My Arrid was working overtime, but I thought we were going to win before we got those steals," Wonson said. "But Mike's our leader in steals and he's excellent at anticipating passes." The Red Raiders needed a team effort to win. Although they used just two players- off the bench extensively, it was enough to wear down an East Liverpool starting five that played almost the entire game. 'It's always good to have a deep bench, at,, they have it," East Liverpool point guard Danny Swoger said. "It was a factor, yes. It's always hard playing against a kid off the bench who is just as good as the one who went off." Smith said the game plan was to keep East Liverpool from getting into a comfort zone offensively. "Defensive pressure, that's what we do," he said."We knew they don't play many players and we wanted to keep after them with pressure and in time even wear them down."

Ty Mwk Znldar and Steve Blackledge Dispatch Sports Reporters Breakfast yesterday was more than the usual eggs,toast and orangejuice for David Taylor. Taylor, a 5-foot-10 junior guard who usually comes off the bench for Worthington Christian, was told he would start the Division IV state semifinal against Edgerton. Coach Ray Slagle places little emphasis on who starts and has had many starting lineups this season. But Slagle had a hunch that Taylor and junior forward Brian Bumgarner might help the Warriors get off to a solid start in a pressure-packed situation. The strategy couldn't have worked any better. Taylor hit two three-pointers and Bumgarner's defense took Derek Sito, Edgerton's secondleading scorer, out of the game as Worthington Christian grabbed a 27-14 lead with 4:42 left in the second quarter en route to a 77-48 victory. "David has been to the state tennis toumament two years in doubles and is the kind of player who can come in here and do it," Slagle said. "Brian Bumgarner is a great golfer, and just

to be in a setting like this he has the kind of (mind-set)ofbeing in control." Taylor scored a career-high 13 points on 5-of8shooting from the field and had two steals. "I was just thinking I'm getting a chance to start in the Schottenstein Center and I want to help the team," he said. "You have to block the crowd out of your mind. I just came in here and focused. We took a long warm-up to get used to the shooting background.It worked forme." Bumgamer scored four points, but his value was on defense. Sito, a 6-1 sophomore who was averaging 15.3 points, was 0 of 4 from the floor and didn't score. "That was an awesome team game," Slagle said. "I thought we had a lot of contributors today. It is nice to have this kind of depth. We started out the year playing almost every kid in every game.That has been our philosophy." FAMILY BUSINESS - Plenty of ties to this season's Division IV state finalist remain from Fort Recovery's 1971 Class A championship team. The defensive stopper on the '71 team was

Ron May. His son, Clark, plays the same role now. "He's just as proud as a father can be," the younger May said. "He talked to me a little about the atmosphere, but he didn't give me any advice except tojust go out there and enjoy myself." The elder May has his jersey displayed in a glass case at home. Fort 'Recovery principal Ed Snyder also played on the 1971 team. He was head coach at nearby Minster before returning to his alma mater. a MIGHTY MAC - Mercer County neighbors Coldwater and Fort Recovery will bid for Division III and IV titles today. Both are members of the nine-team Midwestern Athletic Conference, perhaps the finest small-school league in Ohio. Since its formation in 1973-74, the MAC has claimed 49 boys and girls state team championships, including five in boys basketball-three by St. Henry, one by Maria Stein Marion Local and one by Delphos St. John's. Other schools in the western Ohio league are New Knoxville, New Bremen, Minster and Rockford Parkway. "I think it's just unbelievable that two us are

Closing 13-0 run tops Tygers 4943 y9~3ve-lack) e Dispatch Spores Reporter Those who have seen Cincinnati Moeller pull rabbits from hats throughout the tournament will say that a sense of urgency has nothing to do with the Cri saders'penchantfor incredible rallies. "It's become so standard lately, you lose track how far behind you are and how much time is left," Moeller coach Carl Kremer said. "We know we'll find "a way. We always do." All the Crusaders did this time was on( score Mansfield Senior 13-0 during the final three minutes of a Division I state semifinal for a stunning 4943 victory before 16,690 in Value City Arena Moeller has won its six tournament games by a total of 13 points. In the dis= trict and regional finals, the Crusaders etna:ed 14-point fourth-quarter deficits. "Believe it or not, fellas, I've seen a fern games just about like this the last few weeks," Kremer said nonchalantly. "We just seem to make plays when we have to.,, Senior guard Jeremy Duncan, who played a big role in the rally, said the time and the score are insignificant to the Crusaders (20-6), who face Shaker Heights (25-1)for the state title at 8:30 tonight. "It's not like a sense of urgency for us," he said. "It's more a sense of `just win;,'; We've had some many of these, I guess; we're desensitized now." Mansfield (22-4), which had led since late in the second quarter, seemed ready to spread the court with a 43-38 lead when Ali Thompson was fouled. He missed both foul shots. Matt Sylvester, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, then scored on a nifty backdoor pass from 6-5 point guard Mike Monserez. Moeller's Michael Currin stole the iubounds pass and passed to Sylvester, who buried a three-pointer from the top of the key to tie it at43-all with 1:36 left. "As soon as I shot it, I couldn't believe 1 shot it," Sylvester said. "I don't Imow what was going through my mind." The Tygers proceeded to fall apart at the seams, throwing the ball out of bounds. Monserez then took the inbounds and patiently went coast to coast for the go_ ahead basket with 1:20 to go. After the wheels completely fell off for Mansfield, Monserez sank 4 of 4 free throws in the final 34 seconds to seal the deal. "We've adopted a never-say-die, att-' tude and it's carried us right straight to the state championship game," Monserez said. Mansfield Senior coach Gregg Collins was even more shellshocked than the crowd. "I'm not sure it was so much our mis= takes that made the difference than it was the big plays they made down the stretch," he said. Duncan scored 15 points to pace Moeller, which is in the state tournament lor Lite first time. Monserez and Sylvester, had 13 each. More important, they ac= counted for all of the points in the closing 13-0 rum. The Tygers, who shot only 30.9 percent from the field, played with a heavy heart. The mother of standout guard Marquis Sykes, a second-team All-Ohion averaging 19 points per game, suffered a massive' heart attack on Wednesday night and remains in critical condition. Sykes man-aged just five points on 2-of-11 shooting.

going for titles in the same day," Fort Recovery. coach Joe Bruns said. "The MAC really prepares you to be tough. It's an extremely physical' league, and you can never overlook anybody you, play,regardless whatsport you're playing." Brims also has ties to Coldwater: His brother teaches there, and Fort Recovery's standout, player, 6-foot-4 junior center Chuck Bihn, is a brother of Coldwater coach Chris Bihn. in NOT QUITE THERE - Shaker Heights coach Bob Wonson regrets fans congregated at the state's biggest show aren't able to see the' real Jon Higgins. Higgins, a 6-foot-3 senior guard headed to the? University of Tennessee, is nowhere near 100 percent after returning prematurely from torn ligaments in his left knee. "I only wish you could see the Jon I watched for three years," Wonson said. "He's a whole lot, better basketball player than this." Higgins, who missed the first 15 games, esti'mated he is playing at 90 percent but didn't say it with a whole lot of conviction. "When I'm shooting my jumper, my leg isn't; s strong enough to jump as high as I normally would," he said. "It takes a little while to get your confidence back,too."

The SAT: always Kurt McGinnis How important are the SATs and ACTS in being accepted into one's college of choice? Many people see these as being- the sole factor used by the acceptance boards in colleges. This isn't quite the case. There are a number of other factors taken into account other than one's SAT or ACT scores. For starters colleges look at the quality ofthe curriculum a student is taking, and his GPA in accordance to this curriculum. Colleges also look at the extra-curriculars such as clubs and sports that students take part in. All colleges like People who get involved in their

school. Many will also look at letters ofrecommendation to see what other people say about a student. The more a college is interested in the personality of a person, the less the straight numbers ofthe SAT and ACT scores really influence the decisionof acceptance. These colleges will still look at the grades received on the SAT and ACT, but they understand that numbers don't often tell the whole story. Some of the best ways to find out the potential ofthe students is a more one on one type atmosphere such as an interview, or a test given by the college. The problem with the SAT and ACT is that it is often used as an entrance test by a lot ofcolleges. These

Moeller's state championship run to the title has shaken the Moeller Stutu dent body from its pre-spring break stupor. This team has given back to Moeller a sense of pride and purpose, blowing away the apathy and lethargy ofa long winter's hibernation. Truly,this 1999 state championship basketball team has been not only a team of destiny, but also one ofresurrection. This team battled back from its less than ideal regular season, marred by disappointment and letdowns, to bring home its first ever state .title.

For one thing the colleges can't be aware of the circumstances on any given test day. Outside of the normal test anxiety, a.person could be feeling ill or have some personal problems on his mind and not be able to perform up to his potential. There are also students who just don't perform well on standardized tests, but perform well in the classroom. This is why it is important for colleges to know students' GPA in correlation to the quality of classes taken. What is the best things to do before taking the SAT or ACT? Initially find

Coach Kremer echoed these sentiments as he addressed the Moe Madness crowd packed into the gym: "This is not just about basketball...this is about Moeller!" The crowd responded with its staccato chant, "CK-CK-CK"—a moment in time when the all too often adversarial relationship between the student body and its Deari of Students (Discipline) broke down in a wave of unity and pride.

In this season oftriumph,disap +3j { pointment, and unforeseen turbu~ 'Sid lence, the Moeller Crusader Basketball team has pressed on past ; all expectations and delivered some great play in route to the first Final Four in Moeller history. This unprecedented run has spawned a string of terrific memories: the stifling defense and near domination against Troy, the ever popular win over arch rival St. Xavier, and the thrilling victories over Vandalia Butler, Beavercreek,and Mansfield. Not to mention, the monumental win over Shaker Heights. Indeed, this has been a ground breaking season. However, there is more to this team than just their game play. There are certain intangibles which warrant further attention. One trait is the tremendous amount of heart that this team plays with. Several times this year, particularly during the post season, Senior Brian Boroffleads morning cheers as freshmen arrive on busses. they've found themselves in a situa- Moeller was down over ten points. only one instance among many where tion which seemed nearly impossible However, the team refused to give Moeller stood out over their opponent, for them to recover from.

out game here or there, it has been through the efforts of every member of the team that they've managed to make it this far. Again, take the performance against Vandalia Butler for proof The selfless play of every member ofthe team combined with the individual performanes, including senior Danny Eigel's gutsy performance late in the fourth quarter, combined to win Moeller the Sectional title for the fifth time in its ex-. istence. The Moeller basketball team has been Crusaders this year in more than just name. Through their excellent play and good fortune, they have carried the Moeller tradition of excellence further than any other team in our basketball history. Moreover, their outstanding run to the State Championship has broughtthe school together in a way that is unique to basketball and March Madness. For that they are to be congratulated. 'ham true strength,though,is not their play. It is those rare and immeasurable quantities which have made this year's basketball team truly stand out.

What do you get when you have a lot of $uYs dancing g around, and no girls their age? Well there are a couple of possibilities. I guess, but the answer I'm looking for is the "Mom Prom'. Over six hundred moms and sons stuffed themselves in the AC on Friday,March 12th for a very exciting evening. Fun was had by all as the DJ played aye some oldies and some new songs. Some fathers were on hand to keep p the beverages flowing and things under control, while Brother Ron got down with the moms and the students. Brother Habjan greeted everyone with his friendly smile at the entrance, but when asked why he wasn't out on the dance floor"getting jiggy with it" he replied,"One needs rhythm to dance,and I lent all mine to Brother Ron tonight." As teenagers, we sometimes lose sight of how important our families are, and sometimes we fail to show our love livnrMR /N

Stars went all out for a night at the Acadamy Awards Josh Pfarr Well, the 71st Academy Awards have come and gone. The best that Hollywood had to offer was awarded for a year of hard work. Great films and great actors and actresses were nominated. How many people actually saw three or even two of the five films nominated for best picture? According to box office records, not many..With the exception of Saving Private Ryan and possibly Shakespeare in Love the nominated films Elizabeth, The Thin Red Line, and the foreign film Life is Beautiful were not smash hits as far as ticket sales. The fihn favored to win the award for

best picture was the one that most people actually went to see. Saving Private Ryan was one of the top grossing movies of 1998 and was almost everyone's pick to win. Many people were surprised to see Shakespeare in Love take the oscar this year. Those who weren't surprised were the people who saw the film and appreciated it. Am I proposing that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominate more fihns that are popular with the general public? Absolutely not. These are good movies that not many people are taking the time to see. While Hollywood continues to chum out childish comedies and special effectsoaked action movies,it might be a good time to see a well

made piece. of cinema. There may never be another Citizen Kane, but at least its worth looking for.

oeller seeks to further marianisttradition Tim Ernstes There is a tradition at Moeller that reaches far deeper than any fight song or pep rally cheer. The Marianist brothers have been a part of this school since 1960, but seem to be an unrecognized presence to the student. body. Who are the Marianists? The Society of Mary was established in the United States in 1849,in Dayton, Ohio. The Marianist spirit is for all people, both lay and religious. At the core ofthis is Mary. This dedication to Mary is modeled on Jesus' love for his mother. Mary is the great model offaith, a person who doesn't. question God's ways, a person who leads others to faith in Jesus, and a person who prayed with others. The Marianists ask Mary, through the Holy Spirit, to form them into other Christs, to continue his saving mission. With Mary as the model, the Marianists strive to become faithful followers ofJesus. Seeing everything with the eyes offaith, a faith notjust ofthe mind ,but ofthe heart that affects and directs our lives, leads us to greater simplicity and attentiveness to God. The Marianists see community as a primary means of bringing people to faith in Je's"us through and with Mary. Building community is the principal form of their mi sion. "Family Spirit," the term they se to describe their hospitality and we coming, mark their communities.In faith they come together in communities to form a spiritual family to be of "one heart and one mind" as the early Church

sometimes we need to revisit the origins of our traditions to experience the passion and love which underlie. our actions.

"' Catholic en's Conference creates community Ryan Patterson

Our Father called all men on Saturday,March 20, 1999, to the Crown on Cincinnati's Riverfront. The Catholic Men's Conference had a big turn out in the Tri- State with over 10,000 men in attendance. Moeller students and teachers accounted for about 40 of these men. The purpose of this conference was to develop spirituality and leadership within the men. Mr. Bob Crable commented that the Conference was a "very emotional experience, we as a family were able to get closer. The conference is different each year, and it always gets better." Guest speakers at this event were Coach Mike Dr. Ditka, Bernard Nathanson,Fr.-Clarence Williams, CPPS, and Fr. Mike Pfleger. Other participants

included former Notre Dame, Akron, and Moeller football coach Gerry Faust, and pastor of Saints Peter and Paul Church Fr. Jim Willig. Ditka is a member ofthe Pro Football Hall of Fame and head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Mike gave witness to the strength of his Catholic faith and how it sustains him, especially during times ofcrisis. Dr. Nathanson an author and a former abortion advocate, who performed over 75,000 abortions,and author. He recently converted to Catholicism, from Judaism, and now chairs the Catholic Alliance. He spoke of his conversion experience and about the power ofGod's forgiveness. Fr. Clarence is a director of Black Ministries for the Archdiocese of Detroit:' Fathefis vice chair of "Bread for the World" and a director of The Institute For

Recovery From Racism. He had a powerful message for men on the threshold of the new millennium. Fr. Mike is the dynamic Chicago pastor who led many Chicago churches in a successful boycott of The Jerry Springer television show last summer. He said to Springer straight UP that, "If you mess with me, you are messing with the Alpha and the Omega." Fr. Mike meant that if Jerry Springer continues to show sexually explicit material and other adult content to juveniles, then he will be messing with the beginning and end of life. Fr. Mike has also been profiled on 60 Minutes, recognized for his fight against racism and was the most popular speaker at the previous'year's Catholic Men's Conference in-New Orleans. Senior Robert Clifford said that, "The men's conference was'a'great"tune'to go and

be comforted by the fact that there are 10,000 other people in the city dedicated to growing in their faith, the same as you are. It was also a time to listen to the talks, comprehend the message, and inject-what you learned into your everyday life; so we can live more piously." Rick Collins('99)agreed with Cliff and added that,"The Conference was a spiritual rebirth for me. It made me realize where I am at in my life. Each speaker taught me something and made me realize that I have to be a real man. I have be a man of Jesus Christ." The weekend was a time ofspiritual rebirth for everyone in attendance. Time was allotted for the conference goers to attend confession with one ofthe 100 priests at the event. In addition, the Conference brought men together in an environment

where they could show appreciation and support for each other, especially in regards to their faith. The gathering instilled a sense ofcommunity by creating an environment for the successful combination ofthe wisdom of the older men in attendance with the exuberance of the younger members. The day ended with a mass given by Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk. Some of the Moeller students that went to this Conference were seniors Adam Rummler, Joe Robers, Rick Collins, Robert Clifford,Ryan Patterson,P.J. Hile,Tom Nix, Will Davis,Josh Martin, and Paul Ramstetter. Several teachers that also attended were Mr. Crable, Mr. Tall, and Mr. Jamieson. Each person enjoyed his day at the Crown,and hopefully everyonetook something outofthis faithful experience.

March Madness takes over MoellE March Senior Spotlight: Two sport star Chris Weise' Paul Dehner The success ofthe basketball team hastaken the whole school by storm. The play ofMike Monserez is always mentioned in the media, immediatly followed with a mention of Notre Dame. There is another major contributor on the basketball team who has a scholorship for the next level. Senior Chris Welsch has a baseball scholorship to Kent State University, but of late he has been much more than a baseball star. Welsch began playing sports back when he was four years old. He had big dreams of playing major league baseball. `Barry Larkin was my influence, I try to model my game after his, that's why I wear number eleven," Welsch commented. Welsch eventually got into the game of basketball and has been playing a major role on Varsity for two years. In the teams run at the state championship, different players have stepped up for each game. In what was supposed to be the toughest matchup for the Crusaders,the team played the Troy Trojans in the district semifinal game. Welsch was given the unenviable task of defending Mr. Ohio in basketball; Brooks Hall. He averaged 22.9 points a game and is planning on playing basketball for the University of Dayton next year. Although he still scored twentyeight points, he struggled to get into the flow ofthe offense and the team . never really got their rhythm. "I was a little nervous in the beginning ofthe game because I was guarding Mr.

disrupt Hall,he went on to put the team over the top going four for four from three point range and ending up with sixteen points. . Coach Kremer had very strong feelings about the perforof mance Welsch, especially on the defensive end. "Three out of the last four players he guarded were all state performers Brooks Hall, Marquis Sykes, and John Higgins. He really was the unsung hero of Wis team." i Welsch experienced one Of the top moments in his PhatobyMkeCw&rm life this past Chris Welsch makesa pass in the state semifinal game., weekend. "I was mostlookOhio, but I knew we had a good ing forward to the atmosphere, the gameplan, we wanted him to go one big game, the sold out crowd...-," he on one," he said. Not only did he said. All of that will have to be put

behind him though as he starts hi mor season of baseball tonight sus St. Xavier. With all his attei and efforts going towards the ketball team, there has been hz enough time-to keep up with offseason workouts. It has be exciting and busy couple of w and the madness will continue baseball starting up so qui.ekly. With the basketball season Welsch will attempt to focus on ting into baseball mode. He has playing on varsity for three year; plays primarily shortstop and a second base. - Welsch doesn't sider himselfa power hitter. He to hit for average, hitting a 1 doubles. Welsch's impact on the varsity was felt immediately. This wa: dent when Kent State Universil fered him a scholorship. "The son I decided to go to Kent wa: it wasn't too far and they said a chance to play my freshmen They won the MAC the last c ofyears. Signing with them ha: probably been my proudest mo in sports.".. Even being on the road to Di` I college baseball, he is looking ward to this season. "This shou a good season, we have a lot of seniors." The success ofthe basketball 1 has forced a hectic life on this sport star. Even after the last g ofthis baseball season, Welsch'. , reer will be long from over.

Rockets beat Moetl ° 63-60 Yhe~Cincinnati BqIrer

Madeira: `It's. a little crazy .right now'

it ~ q IT

State- title in sight for boys cagers BY RAY SCHAEFER Enquirer Contributor MADEIRA — Cyndi Underwood was perhaps the busiest woman in Madeira on Wednesday. With the boys basketball team playing Coldwater in the Division III state semifinals at 11 a.m. today at the Jerome Schottenstein Center Arena in Columbus, Ms. Underwood may have had the most important job — as athletic department secretary she took the money for tickets and nearly 700 T-shirts and juggled seats on the seven buses headed for Columbus this morning. "It"s a little crazy right now," Ms. Underwood said.

Moeller High in tourney, too Moeller High School Crusaders will play in the Ohio High School Division I basketball final four tourney on Friday. They take on the Mansfield Tigers at 9 p.m. in Columbus at the Schottenstein Center. There will be a send-off rally "... This is our. first trip to state, it's exciting. It's a wonderful time. We're having fun, it's just nuts." Crazy pretty much described the atmosphere around the school on Loannes Drive. Students and adults did things to celebrate the state semifinal

for the team today in the school gymnasium at 10 a.m. Former Moeller Coach Gerry Faust is scheduled to speak.

Moeller, is the top pick Withrow ranked No. 2 BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor

The Cincinnati Enquirer/Michael Snyder

Purcell Marian sophomore Keith Jackson, left, is considered the top player in the city. B5

r2ME~â&#x20AC;&#x17E;y~ l

Ignoring the USA Today Super 25 ratings that placed Withrow No. 22 in the nation, area coaches ranked Moeller No. 1 in The Cincinnati Enquirer's Tristate Top 10. "We're flattered,â&#x20AC;? Moeller coach Carl Kremer said. "Obviously, I voted for Withrow. The people at USA Today know what they're talking about." Even more surprising to Kremer is La Salle's No.4 ranking. "La Salle won our summer league," Kremer said. "They are a veteran team and that's why I'm surprised people voted for us." Withrow is second with Highlands, (Please see MOELLER,Page B7) i

welopment can be considered gnificant. The Bengals signed quarterick Eric Kresser and safety Avin Moore from their prac;e squad to the 53-man roster. hey replaced safety Tremain ack and left guard Rich Bra[in. Mack, who was sentenced ednesday to 356 days in Cleront County Jail on a probation olation, was placed on the exnpt/left squad list. Braham, ho underwent right knee sur!ry Wednesday, was placed on jured reserve, officially ending s season. Kresser gives the Bengals ur quarterbacks on their acie roster, one more than a am usually carries. Though resser has started to receive

dent Mike Brown said. "Nobody's position has changed," said a subdued Kresser, who has excelled in two preseasons with Cincinnati but has come no closer to receiving a legitimate chance to play. "It seems like they want me to be here next year, and that's positive. You just have to look at it like that." By not acquiring a corresponding replacement for Braham, the Bengals left themselves with eight offensive linemen. ' "With four games left, that should be enough to get us across the finish line," Brown said.

Eagles hold off 3t. Louis 17-14

backs Eric ieniemy a randon ennett alon wide receivers Damon Gibson and Stepfret Williams, if Williams -is activated. The Bengals must replace Tremain Mack set team records for re yardage (1,165)and av yards per return (25.9). Gibson, who return( two kicks for 44 yards Sunday against Jacks( while Mack was briefly sidelined, welcomed th opportunity. "I always liked kick( returns better," said G the team's No. 1 punt returner. "It seems IikE have more blocking an can see the guys comi get you better. Punts a more difficult to catch ; you also usually have in your face when you the ball."

Thanks,team David Levine, Mach agent, expressed than

Celtics blister Burke â&#x2013; HAITIAN HEADACHE: St. Patrick senior Samuel Dalembert, who grew up in Haiti, terrorized the Bulldogs with 16 points and nine shot blocks. By KEVIN KELLY Of The Post and Courier staff

Samuel Dalembert's first love as a child growing up in Pbrt-au-Prince, Haiti, was soccer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a fact difficult to believe after watching the 6-9 senior from St. Patrick High School play basketball. "I was thinking about my future and education," Dalembert said of his decision to switch sports a few years ago. "That's why I chose basketball. And I really love it." A relative rookie (he's played less than 100 high school basketball games), -Dalembert's emerged as one of the nation's top high school seniors for the Elizabeth, N.J., school. He's already made a verbal commitment to play/at Seton Hall next season. "Sam has the potential to be an NBA all-star someday," Celtics coach Kevin Boyle said. "We're talking about a guy that has an unbelievable vertical, a 77-inch wingspan and runs like a deer and he's got pretty good hands. "He's probably the best shot blocker I've seen in the last five or 10 years in high school. The guy blocks everything." . In the first game of the Red CrossRotary Roundball Classic on Sunday at McAlister Field House, Dalembert showcased his talent as the Celtics, ranked No. 16 nationally, cruised past Burke 73-23 before 3,500 fans.

Moeller toughened by'schedule' nn

BY CAREY HOFFMAN Enquirer contributor

olic

A change of schedule during the regular season is directly related to Moeller's change of schedule this postseason. ,Moeller (19-6) will make its first state basketball tournament appearance when it faces 1Vfansfield Senior (22-3) Friday night at 9 p.m. in a Division I state semifinal at Ohio State's Schottenstein Center. The winner advances to the state title game Saturday at 8:30 p.m. After winning Greater CathLeague South titles the last two years but not advancing past sectionals in, tournament play, Moeller coach Carl Kremer concluded that his team

could -be better prepared for with a tougher tournament schedule. So this year, the Crusaders made two tournament trips in December, including one to one of the nation's top events, the, Rotary Roundball Tournament in Charleston, S.C.' Not only has Moeller credited those experiences for making ut better throughout its February and March tournament run, it could pay dividends against Mansfield. "We are very thankful now we went to South Carolina," Kremer says. "We played North Charleston, St. Patrick's from New Jersey and Simon Gratz (from Philadelphia), who are all very similar teams who play great pressure defense." Mansfield's dominant characteristic is a man-to-man fullcourt press that produces an play

average of 17 steals per game. Adjusting to that in a one=andout tournament situation could be troublesome. "But we went to South Carolina for that reason," said Moeller senior guard Mike Monserez, who this week was named first-team all- state. "There were a lot of teams who you came out and saw running and dunking and we went out and hung with them. That gives us some confidence. They're more athletic, but we're a team that plays as a team and we think we can play with them." If Moeller can handle Mansfield's pressure, it could be in good shape. The Crusaders have the size advantage;, and showed two games ago against Troy that is was capable of getting pressure defensive teams in trouble by patiently working the ball out front and

then finding players cutting to the basket for easy shots. "The first thing that jumps out to me about Moeller is how hard they play," said Gregg Collins, who is in his third year as Mansfield's coach after previously winning two state titles .at nearby Lexington. "Without even talking X's and 0's, they're an aggressive, hardplaying team." Mansfield wasn't expected to be a state contender this year with only one starter back. Mansfield's only previous trip to state came in 1985, when it lost in the semifinals to eventual state champ Purcell Marian. Mansfield's leader is 6-1 senior guard Marquis Sykes, a second-team all-Ohio choice who averages 19.1 points. Center Jeremee Butts and forward Ali Thompson both average about nine points per game.

only three players wno de' tery won't be returning. Junior Mateen Cleaves, the team's first-team All American, has not decided whether to return his senior year or go to the pros. But even Cleaves' defection would be offset partly by the strength of new recruits, Gibbons said. He points to newcomers such as Jason Richardson, a 6-foot-6 forward at Saginaw Arthur dill who received the Mr. Basketball award Monday and will join the Spartans next season.

Senior guard Mike Monserez shows off the state basketball trophy during a pep rally Monday at the Moeller High School gymnasium. Among other things, Saturday's victory over Shaker Heigh-is won Moeller students an extra day of spring break.

Championship reality sinks in for Moeller BY RAY SCHAEFER Enquirer Contributor

SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP — Moeller High School principal Dan Ledford confessed :Monday to breaking three of his own rules during Saturday's boys Ohio Division I basketball finals. As it turned out, Mr. Ledford broke them for a good cause. The Crusaders defeated Shaker Heights, 67-62, to claim their first state basketball title. That allowed the school to hold its second pep rally in five days Monday. "I don't believe in praying for victory, but I did," Mr. Ledford said. "I don't believe in yelling at officials, but I didAnd I don't believe in giving a free day, but I did." The free day means students begin spring break Thursday instead of Friday. but Mr. Ledford said the extra day off was built into the calendar in case.Moeller won. Senior guard Mike Monserez was still a bit overwhelmed at all that had happened. "It's been such a dream for so long," he said Monday.

"You dream about it, but you never expect it." But until the rally at the end of the school day Monday, one wouldn't have know anything special had happened over the weekend. "It was kind of quiet," said Debbie Brandt of Symmes Township, who volunteers in Moeller's alumni office. "I think they were worn out from Fridav and Saturday." Said sophomore Tony Lane of Pleasant Ridge: "It waspt anything special until the pep rally." Parents and students arrived at school as much as 30 minutes before the rally started, and it didn't take long for them to start talking about the title. "It was wonderful, exciting, great. terrific, all those words," said Ginny Bauer, who works in the development office. ' Junior Rob Ward of Morrow chose the word "excited" to describe his emotions after Saturday's game. "There was so much going on," he said. "People were screaming and yelling. Everything went crazy."

Moeller coach Carl Kremer singled out the student cheering section. "It's an unbelievable thing to go to Columbus and feel like we were playing a home game in Qerome) Schottenstein Center," he said. As with Thursday's rally to send the team to Columbus, former Moeller, Notre Dame and University of Akron football coach Gerry Faust — who left a meeting in Akron for about a five-minute speech at Moeller and flew back to Akron to finish the meeting was on hand. "That is unbelievable," Mr. Faust said. `But that is what this school is all about." Saturday's title was the school's 15th overall — seven in football, three in baseball, two in lacrosse, two in volleyball and one in basketball. Mr. Kremer said being the coach of a state.championship team had not completely sunk in Monday. "I know there are coaches much, much better than me that never get to state," he said. "To have this happen to me is humbling."

Driven, Point guard carried Moeller to state_ crown BY DAVE-SCII= Enquirer contributor Teams that win state champi= onships are usually blessed with a leader, a player who earns the respect ofteammates by actions on and off the court One such player is Mike Monserez, Moeller's 6-foot-5 senior guard who came through atcrunch time to help the Crusaders win the Division I state championship. Monserez, headed for Notre Dame,is The Enquirer's Division I Player ofthe Year. During the fourth quarter in a both the .semifinal and championship games, Monserez hit key free throws and scored from the field at cruru cial times. r;;> "Mike is the n' most dedicated, ; n driven kid,' Moeller coach Monserez ^ Carl Kremer said. ''He's defined our program the last three years.,, After Moeller lost to St Xavier by 25 points Feb. 12, Kremer wondered the Crusaders weren't as good as expected. But Moeller went on to win the final two regular season games. It trailed during the fourth quarter in five of the seven tournament games, but rallied to win each. For the effort, Kremer is The Enquirer's Division,I Coach of the Year. The obstacles Springboro's Seth Doliboa, The Enquirer's Division II Player ofthe Year,had to overcome this season were monumental.

Moeller High deserved better from local radio : t

I cant believe that no local radio station could find the time to carry .' Moeller High School's state onship basketball game.I think champiJacor runs about seven stations itself, and. couldn't find the space:But they did 'have room that night to air the same NCAA-game on TWO of their stations. Does Jacor really care about local sports beyond the Reds? And the other sports stations in town are just as guilty. C'mon boys,fess up, ya blew it.

y/~hg _-

-KEVIN SMITH Cincinnati

Most of Moeller's success came from Monserez's ability to get his teammates involved in the game. When teams put too much `emphasis on Monserez, fellow. seniors Jeremy Duncan,Brad -Hutzel and Chris Welsch stepped up and had big games in the tournament run. Monserez is joined on the first team by three other seniors:. Joel Cornette (St. Xavier), Brandon Hunter (Withrow),and Paul McMillan (Aiken), and junior Nick Sellet of Oak Hills. Schlenker<helped lead his , team on its own magical ride.

purtability. It's basketball's new buzzword, applied to uptempo teams capable of scoring points in quick bunches.` Tonight,the Mansfield Senior High School Tygers' spurtability could be a buzz saw for Moeller (19-6) in their 9 p.m. Division I boys' state semifinal game at Ohio State University in Columbus. The winner will play East Liverpool (23-1)or Shaker Heights (24-1) in the state championship game at 8:30 p.m. j Saturday at Ohio State. "Dangerousis a good word for Mansfield because of their incredible spurtability," Moeller coach Carl Kremer said."And it's all created by their have 1.defense off turnovers. We'll just to play smart,take care of the basketball, and limit their spurts." That's something Brunswick High couldn't do in the regional semifinals. Mansfield trailed Brunswick 37.34 after three quarters, but then went on a 33-4 run in the fourth quarter to win,67-41. Mansfield trailed Fremont Rossby seven points with 1:01 remaining in the district semifinals and took a two-point lead in regulation before eventually winning in overtime, 81-77. "They were right where we wanted them,seven points ahead with a minute left," Mansfield coach Gregg Collins said."Seriously though, this is the way we have to play to have the greatest success. We'd love to take you inside, but we, don't have that luxury." Mansfield (22-3) starts three guards, including 6-foot-1 senior point guard Marquis Sykes who averages 19.1 points per game. Sykes was named second-team All-Ohio this week. The Tygers' tallest starter is 6-4 Jeremee Butts, a senior forward, Butts averages 8.9 points and leads the team with just 4.8 rebounds per game. Mansfield gets outrebounded by an average of 33-28 pe'r game. The Tygerscompensate for their lack of height with quickness, excellent three-point shooting and man-to-man full-court pressure from the opening tip-off. Mansfield shoots 35-bercent from three-point range. "That's our strength, shooting the Please see MANSFIELD,2C

From Page 1C three," Collins said."And we'll take it quickly, sometimes even on the break with just one defender between us and the basket. We don't want to play a halfcourt game. That's the whole Idea for us; force a team to play faster than they're used to. Now when you play that way, you'll have some inconsistencies. But that's life for us." Said Kremer:"For a state-cal. iber team, Mansfield can look human at times, but then they just explode. We know they'll try to speed us up, and Sykes will absolutely shoot it from anywhere." Although Mansfield tends to get beat on the boards, its real weakness comes at the freethrow line where the Tygers hit just 68 percent of their shots. Cleveland St. Ignatius tried to exploit that weakness in the regional final by fouling Mansfield players on nearly every possession in the last four minutes of the fourth quarter in an attempt to rally. %, Mansfield converted just 17 of 29 fourth-quarter free-throw attempts (58.6 percent), but still won comfortably, 63.46. "If its close, we'll make them get on the free throw line," Kremer said. "That's one way to slow them down."

Moeller seeks gold in.,M'finaf By Marc Hardin Post contributor

COLUMBUS — Moeller High School basketball coach Carl Kremer was incredulous, and at the same time, not surprised. ~-` When told his Crusaders trailed Mansfield Senior by seven points with 3:45 left in the game before rallying for a 49-43 victory 4n the boys' Division I state semifinals Fri`day night, Kremer said,"I didn't realize that. I guess it's become so standard for us that I didn't realize the situation." Moeller rallied to win the regional and district championship games this month after trailing in both games by 14 points during the second half. Earlier in the week, Kremer described Mansfield's ability to produce points in bunches as "spurtability," and said the Tygers were "dangerous" because of it.

' However,it was Moeller's spurtability Friday night at Ohio State that put the Crusaders (20-6) into tonight's 8:30 championship game against Shaker Heights (25-1). Behind senior guards Mike Monserez and Jeremy Duncan and sophomore forward Matt Sylvester, Moeller outscored Mansfield, 22-8, in the fourth quarter, and 15.4-d'ver the final 6:11.

But there wasn'ta ouder,Moelier'student uproar than the ne that went up' when Sylvester`(13 p ints, nine.i•ebotinds)1' hit a three-pointer wi h 11:37 to go,to tie the score, 43-43. Seventeen econds later, Moil= serez hit his go-ahead op,,

Mansfield did not score in the lase 3:34, when Moeller went on a 13-0 run. Monserez, Moeller's 6-foot-5 all-Ohio point guard, scored eight of his 13 points in "When(my shot)"' t in," said Sylves:, the final quarter, including the go-ahead ter,"there was a sense f relief for me."basket on a lay in with 1:20 to go. That put And for Monserez, well.:- Moeller ahead 45-43. With a quiet, gold-splashed legion of Monserez, a Notre me recruit, picked Moeller students as his backdrop, Monserup three fouls and did fiot score in the first ez then hit four free throws in the final 34 half, missing all three of his shots. Despite seconds to seal the Crusaders' first trip to the state championship game. +11.+ at, M11 oe er +-4 1ed at halfti'me by Just one,20-19. Stepping to the fore for Moeller while Monserez struggled was Duncan, who has struggled with his shot the entire season. "When we got in trouble, we got some help from a man who has struggled this season, Jeremy Duncan," Kremer said."He hit some big shots." Duncan scored eight of his 15 points in the first half. Said Duncan:"I knew somebody had to step up when Mike went out(with three fouls).'! Mansfield (22-4) vas led by junior forward Rick Minard's to points, but Minard missed seven of 12 free throws.

FORTS

"Minard hits just 38 percent of his free throws," Kremer said."We were going to foul him every time he got the ball."

Monserez rebounded in the second half, hitting 9-of-11 free throws.

"We didn't have the deer-in-the-headlights look," Monserez said. "I've grown up dreaming about something like this. We've got 10 seniors on this team, and we went undefeated as freshmen.Each year, the stakes have gone up and up. "We're in unproven territory now. We're going to have to come out against Shaker Heights (ranked No.9 in USA Today's toff 25 poll) and keep doing what we're doing," .

COLUMBUS, â&#x20AC;&#x201D;When a team has won five tournament games in which it was considered the underdog to reach the state finals, it is bound to pick up a little superstition. In Moeller's case, it's been hard to miss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an oversized stuffed lamb that occupies a place of honor on the Moeller bench. The lamb has quite a history.

Mike pointed to Matthew's 18-point second-half effort against Beavercreek, including the winning tip-in, as -indicative of his potential. "Against Beavercreek, he showed great potential and he will get better," Mike said. NO SURPRISE: The fact that Moeller qualified to the Division I state championship game did not surprise, Eric Thomas, former coach of the Aiken Falcons. "We played all the top teams in Cincinnati and I told

everyone that Moeller was the best," Thomas said. "They have two good guards (Mike Monsorez) and Jeremy. Duncan) and a great coach (Carl Kremer).". I'LL TAKE MOELLER: In the prediction department, Oak Hills coach Mike Price favored Moeller over Shaker Heights in the Division I state championship game on Saturday. 1. "Moeller should be able to penetrate. against Shaker Heights and get the easy layup," Price said. "Shaker Heights also showed a little nervousness ,and Moeller's crowd could unnever them. .

of the fc- \v

State crusade still alive By Dave Phillips Assistant News Editor The Crusaders go about their duties in workman-like fashion, showing little outward emotion in the relentless journey to a victory. Then as the final buzzer goes off, players head to a very vocal blue and gold block in the student cheering session and dive Green Bay Packer-like into the now hoarse Moeller teens. Most noticeably is the stone-like face of .Mike Monserez, who is taking his Mount Rushmore countenance and game to Notre Dame next fall. Point of information for opposing coaches: Although the Crusader point guard always seems to get his hands on the ball at the end of the game, don't foul him. He was 11 for 13 from the stripe in regional games in wins against Troy and Beavercreek, while contributing 20 and 17 points respectively. Even though he made his usual contribu•tion, it was teammates who were key in both wins neither of then! easy. In fact, it is not a given that Moeller actually beat Beavercreek, 59-57, in the regional final. But they'll take it. Forward Matt Sylvester used all of his 6!;foot-6 height to stretch and tip-in a shot at the buzzer, but most everyone in the Dayton Arena will always wonder. Even the sophomore wonders, and termed the tip timing "questionable," as did Monserez,,who was out on the perimeter and admitted it was too late. One official, who was out at the three-point line, signaled it in and the scorekeeper put it down. Any other ruling would have forced the game into overtime and to a questionable outcome. Moeller had picked up its play after being down, 33-22, at the half. 4 Of note, in a quarter where the Crusaders outscored the Beavers, 18-6, was the second-balf,play,of Sylvester. He scored all of his 18 points after intermission. The patented Crusader run came off its )press. Monserez describes it as "...kind of a

The tip-in came off a missed Brad Hutzel reverse layup. "I saw the pass and the shot," Sylvester said. "It hit the back of the rim and had a good bounce out so I could tip it." The emotionless yet intense demeanor also led to the, 61-53, win over Troy to get Moeller to the title game.

quarter and the game was always- in doubt. What made the difference was the play of Chris Welsch, who opened up the third quarter with five straight points. "Welsch (.who is headed to Kent State on a baseball scholarship) is one of the toughest day-to-day competitors I've ever coached," said Moeller coach Carl Kremer. Against Troy, he was perfect in four three-point attempts and hit, 6-for-7 on the' game. And although a head shorter than Troy's Marcus Adams, and despite Adams' 28 points, Welsch did an admirable job when guarding the 6-foot-6 all-state player. The 5-foot-11 Moeller starter also picked up two assists and two steals in 29 minutes. Welsch got 25 points in the two games, Monserez had 37, Sylvester 30 and Brad Hutzeel 20_ Balaheed'scoring, spurt -scorrng and scoring more than their opponents should serve Moeller well at the state championships.

JMoelker From Page IS 3 that,:Moeller trailed at'halftime by just one, 20.19. Stepping to the fore for Moeller while Monserez struggled was Duncan, who has struggled with his shot the entire season. "When we got in trouble, we got some help from a man who has struggled this season, Jeremy Duncan," Kremer said."He hit some big shots." Duncan scored eight of his 15 points in the first half. Said. Duncan:"I knew somebody had to step up when Mike went out(with three fouls)." Mansfield (22-4) was led by junior forward Rick Minard's 10 points, but Minard missed seven of 12 free throws. "Minard hitsjust 38 percent of his free throws," Kremer said."We were going to foul him every time he got the ball." Monserez rebounded in the second half, hitting 9-of-I1 free throws. "We didn't have the deer-in-the-headlights look," Monserez said."I've grown up dreaming about something like this. We've got 10 seniors on this team,and we went undefeated as freshmen. Each year, the stakes have gone up and up.

From Page 1B won it all in Columbus after finishing last in the GCL South. Roger Bacon (1982) and Elder (1993) also won state tournaments after having less luck in the league. The fact is that the GCL itself is not entirely different than the field of a state tournament. If Moeller were to send Joseph Kremer up the ladder again Saturday night, it would become the eighth GCL school out of 10 to win a state title. In spite of their local success in the '90s, the Crtisardors are the last GCL team to qualify for Columbus. All of this suggests that the CYO eighth graders Kremer has been watching represent the deepest in at least the Midwest. From the '70s talent on, no other league in Ohio can even approximate ; the balance and achievement of the GCL. ; Since Columbus East walked away withits. fourth of five Ohio titles in 1969, capping a decade dominated by Dayton and Columbus public schools, the GCL has won more Division I championships (six) with more high schools (LaSalle, Roger Bacon,Purcell Marian and Elder) than any other conference.

Moeller stuns host in Carolina tourney Post staff report

Moeller High School was figused for the pushover, but the Crusaders were having none of that. The Moeller boys' basketball team,assigned to play the tournament host in the first round, handed North Charleston (S.C.) its first loss of the season and only its fifth in 63 games, a 73-64 victory Sunday before 3,500 in the Red Cross/Rotary Round Ball Tournament in Charleston. Tournament hosts typically play the team considered weakest in the field. This tournament has four teams from South Carolina and four from out of state. "They didn't know much about us," said Moeller assistant coach Mike Jones."They kind of picked us as a patsy." Moeller (5.1) ran into trouble in the third quarter when starting point guard Mike Monserez and starting forward Brad Hutzel picked up their fourth fouls. But Moeller went to a zone defense, and North Charleston (6-1) had trouble shooting from the perimeter. Plus, Scott Byrnes, a sophomore point guard, replaced Monserez and played effectively against a quick, pressing team, Jones said. Monserez scored a game-high 21 points. Moeller on Tuesday will play St. Patrick's (N.J.), a team that was ranked No.8 in the USA To-

day preseason poll and that features a 7-foot center. Moeller wiI play again on. Wednesday. "(The win) gives us the oppor• tunity to play one of the top 10 teams in the country, which was one of our goals corning down here," Jonessaid MOELLER NORTH CHARLESTON

Moeller, St X1 La Salle shipped to Oxford secti The alignment of teams for the Di;vision I boys sectional basketball tournaments in Southwest Ohio has been altered again. Moeller, La Salle and St. Xavier, three of the projected top teams in Cincinnati and the Greater Catholic League, will no longer compete at the University of Cincinnati's Shoemaker Center. Instead, these powers have been moved to Miami University's Millett Hall, replacing Fairfield, Hamilton, 1akota East, Lakota West, Middletown and Princeton-teams that will now compete in the Dayton sectional. The use of Millett Hall in Oxford comes as a surprise.

It was thought that after Judy Worley stepped down as tournament manager, the Southwest District Board would find another site for the tournament. 4 "Judy is in the process of raising a family," said John Rossi, president of the Southwest District Board.'But, Chris Otto has taken over,and we decided to stay. The Shoemaker Center was anothesr site in jeopardy. "There was a little difficulty be0ause of the wide use of the Shoemak*Center," Rossi said. "They did some rescheduling and worked some $ings out so we could hold the touri0ment.r' There are 12 teams at UC: Aiken, Amelia, Anderson, Elder, Glen Este, Hughes, Loveland, Milford, Sycamore,Taft, Walnut Hills and Withow. . The 11 teams assigned to Oxford: olerain, Harrison,La Salle, Moeller, Mount Healthy, Northwest, Oak Hills, t. Xavier, Talawanda, Western Hills and Winton Woods. " . Under OHSAA tournaments rules, sectionals with fewer than 12 teams gnly seed two teams unless more than 50 percent of the teams have winning e.ecords.

Unlesssix or more teams at Oxfi)rd have winning records, only two will be seeded. Four teams will be seeded at the UC sectional. , The sites for the other sectionals remain the same: Division 11 at Anderson, Sycamore hosting Division 1p, and Division IV at Loveland.

■ COACH: Scott Martin (4th season, 37-28). . ■ 1997-98 FINISH: 11-10 overall, 6-6 in GCLS(2nd place). ■ RETURNING STARTERS:C Joel Cornette; G Steve Sollmann; G Matt Williams (13 ppg). .■ OUTLOOK: May start out slow because most of the team's top players are still playing for ,the football team, which is in Saturday's state title game. Led by Cornette at 6-9, the Bombers have a lot of height. Williams could become the go-to scorer for a team that's strength will be defense and rebounding.

They graduated nine seniors. Kenney was second team AllGCLS; last year and should provide Consistent scoring. Three solid guards join the team from last season's 14-5 JV squad. Overall, the Panthers have good ball'handlers and shooters. Lack of height is the biggest,problem. Their two tallest players are 6-4 and•6-5 and both are sophomores.
