Summary: The Varsity "Gold" team had an outstanding year. Nearly everyone. who wrestled placed in at least one of the tournaments. Kevin Buckingham placed in all3 and was Champion in 2 of them. Josh Newbanks, David Neumann, Ben Michaels and Brandon Druffel also placed in 2 out the 3. Most of the team was made up of underclassmen as well as several freshmen and even a couple 1st year wrestlers. Even with this lack of experience we competed very well against varsity competition. We were a close 2nd to a state ranked team from Tennessee at the Amelia Tournament and were within a couple points of winning the Lockland Invitational. The Madeira is one of the better division II-III tournaments in the area. While we only placed 6th the teams ahead of us had very good varsity teams for example Madeira is ranked in the top 10 in the state in Division III and Campbell finished as State runners-up in Kentucky. Above all everyone acquired some needed mat time against varsity wrestlers. We can look forward to some great things on the varsity level from these guys. Thanks for a great year. Coach Nelson

dsgoodpitc ,Pair of sophomores helping ,team pursue FAVC-Buckeye title :By Shannon Russell ':The Ci11Ci1znati Enqttirer

Two ye'!rs ago Northwest senior Robyn Swedersky shattered nearly ·every school pitching record, graduating with the 'most career strikeouts :(520), wins in a season (20), . strikeouts in a season (159) and ERA (0.66). No way did Stephanie Vonderhaar want to fill her shoes. · Vonderhaar, an eighth grader during Swedersky's final season, had seen the pitching that propelled Northwest to the state final :four and hoped someday for 'her own success. But her :chatJ,ce_came -..v:ithin a year.

"I thought I'd be on junior v:&rsity for two years before making varsity, so I was kind of nervous when I had to p[tch as a freshman. Eispecially right after Rtobyn," Vonderhaar said. Vonderhaar, now a sophorntore, has a 1.6 ERA, an 8-2 record and 50 strikeouts in Nlorthwest's first 12 games. Wf.ith close to two seasons beilind her, r1Ie biggest pressure she feels now is the quest for an FAVC-Buckeye title. As of Tuesday, the Knights were tied with H:u-rison for first place. Coach Liz Burris said pitching had been a concern until Vonderhaar filled the role. And then she found

ace in Sam another Swedersky, Robyn's sister. Sam Swedersky, a sophomore left-hander, has a 0.39 ERA in 23 innings pitched. Although she struck out 100 batters last year on junior varsity, Swedersky prefers playing center field. 'The pitching has been a pleasant surprise,'~ Burris said. "Between the two of them, they've only given up 11 runs and those were in two games. It's nice that they're stepping up.n Northwest has six seniors, · including first baseman/hitting leader Cheryl Dakin (.406 batting average). ' Defense is also a .team strength; it commits less than one error per game. "I think we're getting better and better. Hopefully we'll have an advantage two years from now," Sam

James The Associated Press

Colorado Rockies reliever Mike James fought the cab driver who brought him to Cinergy Field for a game Thursday night and wound up with scrapes and torn clothes. James said the driver went in the wrong direction, then took offense when he told him to turn around. They fought after the driver dropped him off at a stadium gate. The right-hander said he wasn't seriously hurt · and would be available to pitch against the Reds. He didn't plan to file a police report. Rockies manager Buddy Bell talked to James after he arrived in the clubhouse. James had scrapes above his eye, on his cheek and along the side of his neck following the fight. He also tore his pants. He said the cab driver. went in the wrong direction after picking him up from the team's downtown hotel, heading past Paul Brown Stadium and away from Cinergy Field. "I made him turn around so it wasn't expensive," James said. "He took exception to my choice of words." He said they fought a few minutes later when he got dropped off. "It's not a big deal," said James, 34.

A's extend contract for Howe The Associated Press

OAKL~ND, Calif. Art Howe hasn't enjoyed this much job security since his first season managing the Oakland Athletics. The A's exercised their 2003 option Thursday on Howe, who has led Oakland to back-to~back playoff appearances. With a move called "just a formality'' by general manager Billy Beane, Oakland added another year to its commitment to Howe, the .A's manager since 1996. Back then, Howe had a two-year contract with a one-year option- and he's been working year to year since. ''I'm very happy that the ownership here feels I'm the guy that's going to keep leading this team," Howe said. "My family and I love the Bay area, and it's nice to know we'll still be around here." CARDINALS: The team placed left-hander Bud Smith on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with . a strained left shoulder, the fifth Cardinals starting pitcher to be sidelined this season. Smith will be eligible to come off the disabled list May 7. ORIOLES: Right-hander Jason Johnson broke the middle finger on his pitching hand Thursday, an injury that will sideline him for approximately ·three weeks. Johnson fractured his finger on the hard dirt of the mound while going through his pitching motion before facing Boston. SHORT HOPS: !Ill New York. Yankees pitcher Sterling Hitchcock gave up one run and three hits over six. innings in a minor league rehab start for Class-A.· Tampa on Thursday night. It was Hitchcock's second start ·since being placed on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain at the end of the spring training. 1111 Toronto pitcher Chris Carpenter went back on the 15-day disabled list Thursday because of tendinitis in his right shoulder. 1111 The Cleveland Indians are batting .218 (69-for316) and averaging 2.5 runs while going 1-9 in their last 10 games. By contrast, they were batting .272 and leading the AL in runs when they started the season 11-1.

record 73-homer year, he is generally considered the best player in the game. Griffey, coming off an injury-marred year and on the disabled list with a bad knee, is no longer at the top of the list. Griffey was the player of the decade in the 1990s. He was on the All-Century Team; Bonds wasn't. Griffey has hit all the big homer milestones (350, 400, 450) at an· earlier age than Bonds - and everyone else in baseball history, for that matter. Bonds is No. 1 on the active home run list with 575; Griffey is second with 461. Griffey and Bonds are friends. They talk on the phone occasionally and visit each other about once a year. 'Griffey lives in Orlando during the offseason; Bonds lives in Los Altos Hills, Calif. Griffey says he doesn't concern himself with whether people consider him or Bonds the better player. "There are certain things yo.u can't worry about," he smd. "I can't worry about the guy behind me or ahead of me. It's like hitting. I worry about the pitcher. I don't worry about the catcher and umpire. They can't do anything until the pitcher throws the ball." Griffey and Bonds are both left-handed hitters, but Griffey said he doesn't learn from watching Bonds. "We have different styles," he said. "He spins on some pitches. I swing at pitches he doesn't. He swings at pitches I don't." Griffey said he and Bonds rarely talk about baseball. -"He spends about four days a year taking his kids to Disney World," said Griffey. "He comes over and eats twice, three times at the house. I go get them, bring them over. It's reverse-opposite. When I'm in town, he'll pick me up and we'll go eat." If baseball· isn't the topic of conversation, what is? "His kids are older than mine. I ask him questions," said Griffey, whose children are 8 and 6. "I think .all parents are prouder of what their kids do than what they do. "I don't really ·look at things about myself. I don't get excited about what I do. I was always taught: Don't get too high on yourself or too

Reds: Rally past Rockies 4-3 for 5th straight victory From Page B1 inning run. But Hamilton made a miraculous escape, even though five runners reached base in the inning. "The key in baseball is minimizing tihe damage," Hamilton said. "I was able to do that." The Reds tied it 1-1 in their half of the first when Juan Encarnacion hit his sixth home run of the year and second in three nights. Like most of Encarnacion's homers, this one was ·a bolt to left field. Two more Reds would reach against Neagle, but he got out of the inning. The Rockies made it 2-1

in the third, and Neagle settled down. He retired 11 straight before hitting Jason LaRue with a pitch with one out in the fifth. Hamilton went six innings, but as usual he walked a tightrope. He allowed two runs on six hits, walked six - the high for a Reds pitcher this season - and struck out three. In five starts, Hamilton has allowed 52 baserunners in 30 innings, but his ERA is 3.30. "My job is to keep us in games," Hamilton said. "It doesn't matter if I walk none or walk six." It was the 14th time in the 21 games a Reds starter has given up two or fewer runs.

Left-hander White allowed a run in the seventh to make it 3-1. · The Reds chased Neagle in the seventh. Todd Walker and Ruben Mateo opened the irming with back-to-back singles, an·d the Rockies brought right-hander· Todd Jones to face LaRue. The Reds countered by sending switch-hitter Wilton Guerrero up for LaRue. Guerrero bunted the runners to second and third. "Another great bunt by Wilton," Boone said.

"This 1s a game we knew we sl could win if we were not aying our best, but we alscould lose if we didn't com to play," said Roger Bam guard Josh Hausfeld. We talked all week abouhaving to play our game, Llt it took us a half to wakup." "We coul1't get comfortable - eithi we played too fast or too 9W," Roger Bacon coach Bt Brewer said of his team's fi;t-half struggle. Bacon opted a 10-0 lead while Purcelwas shut out at the start, buby halftime the lead was wlitled to 18-16.

Purcell Marian can't answer hot shooting By Carey Hoffman

The Cmcmnat1 Enquirer/JEFF SWINGER

Tony Fulks of Purcell Marian goes up to shoot over Roger Bacon's Beckham Wyrick Friday night.

It's going to be your night when: A) Your power forward is 5-for-5 from 3-point range; B) Your opponent doesn't score in the first six minutes of play; and C) You make 66.7 percent of all your shots after halftime. All those things happened in Roger Bacon's 57-40 victory over Purcell Marian in the Division II sectional final Friday night at Xavier's Cintas Center. But that doesn't mean it was a cakewalk. Roger Bacon led by only three points midway through the third quarter before pulling away for good with a sudden 8-0 spurt. Up to that

points - including his perfect shooting from 3-point range. "I just came out shooting the best I could," Wynck said. "I've been practicing, and they tell me to keep shooting." Roger Bacon shot 88.9 percent from behind the arc in the game, including a 3 by Hausfeld that finally changed the game for good. That came with 4:55 to play in the third quarter and Bacon ahead 21-18. Frankie Phillips then came up with a steal that led to a three-point play by Hausfeld. More defense - this time a block by center Monty St. Clair of a Billy FiiDlell shot - led to another layup by Hausfeld, putting Roger Bacon ahead 29-18 with 3:52 to play in the quarter. "We were playing to reduce the number of possessions in the game, and it did have an effect for a while," said Purcell coach Randy Reeder, whose team lost

both of ils regular-season meetings with Roger Bacon. "But then they hit a couple of 3s and we missed a couple of shots in the paint, and that really hurt us." Another key was Bacon's efforts against Purcell's 6-7 all-district center, Mike Pilgrim. Wyrick played physical in defending Pilgrim, while on the other end, Pilgrim matched up with wiry 6-8 Roger Bacon junior Monty St. Clair. St. Clair scored Bacon's first basket of the night, then didn't score again until the second half. Still, he battled Pilgrim evenly, finishing with 12 points and eight rebounds, compared to Pilgrim's totals of 14 points and seven rebounds. "They were just battling down there body to body," Hausfeld said of Pilgrim's defense against St. Clair. "And there was a lot of talking, too." "Beckham had a great

restlers fight for state titles Lakota East, West favorites in finals By Gary Estwick The Cincinnat' Bnqui1·er

COLUMBUS - Sycamore's Daniel Mason-Straus experienced <In unfamiliar feeling Friday night. Mason-Straus, who at 135 pounds was undefeated heading into the Division I quarterfinals, lost 3-2 during_ the Ohio High School Athletic Association State Wrestling Championships at Ohio State's Schottenstein Center. Today's Division I finals start at 5:20p.m. Division I consolation matches start at 10 a.m. Mason-Straus was defeated by Chris Vondruska of Lakewood St. Edward, the projected champion. ~For "the--first tiintnhis season,Mason-Straus' hand wasn't raised after a match. His record now stands at 40-1. Mason-Straus did put up a fight. After trailing 3-1 late in the match, he scored one point in the final 10 seconds. As he attempted his final move, the buzzer sounded, ending a season-long streak. Vondruska will move on to the finals today to face Steve Luke of Massillon Perry. Luke defeated Wadsworth's Tim Miller 7-3 in the other Division I 135pound semifinal. By reaching the semifinals, MasonStraus will place in the top six. But placing in the top six probably wasn't the goal of a high school wrestler who has been as dominant as he has this season. Hetag Pliev of Lakota East also was favored to successfully def\md his 189pound Division I title. And he didn't disappoint. Pliev defeated Zach Andy of Ashland 11-3. He will face Nick Terbay of Dayton Carroll in the finals. Carroll beat Curtis Hose of Fairfield by technical fall (15-0). Pliev is one of two CinciiDlati-area champions defending their gold medals today. It's no surprise that Matt Mcintire of Lakota West is also back in the finals for the third consecutive year. After placing second as a sophomore and winning the 140-pound class as a junior, the senior defeated St. Xavier's Randy Carver in Friday's semifinals (6-2). Mcintire will face Jason McGee of Cuyahoga Falls in today's Division I 140-pound final. Carver defeated Mike Pierce of Lakewood St. Edward to advance. Mark Mathis of Princeton qualified for the Division I finals in 1 03-pound weight class. His semifinal opponent, Dave Federico of Willoughby South, was disqualified after throwing Mathis to the mat midway through the match. Mathis remained on the mat for about 1 0 minutes. He will wrestle Tony Iovine of Pickerington. Iovine beat Canton Glen Oak's Ty Anthony 6-4 in overtime. It was not known as of press time if Mathis' injury will stop him from competing in today' s final. Zach Flake of Lakota West will join Mathis in today's finals. Flake beat Eric Lakia of Painesville Riverside 8-7 in the Division I 130-pound semifinals. His opponent today, Ryan Lang of Lakewood St. Edward, advanced to the finals by pinning Vince Gioiella of Solon in 2:39. In the 152-pound class, Fairfield's Joe Gadson advanced by beating Jake Kuhner (Pickerington). Gadson's opponent today, ViiDly DiGiovanni of Solon, defeated Ryan Rhodes (Toledo Central Catholic). Gadson's teammate Tony Parker wasn't as fortunate. Parker was piiDled by an undefeated Matt Kallai (43-0) in the Division I 171-pound semifinal. Lakota West is in sixth plac(;! in the Division I team totals with 52.5 points. Lakota East is eighth with 41 points. Fairfield is 11th (33).

COLUMBUS - Success at the state wrestling meet can be a matter of getting hot. The draw can also impact results. "I got a great draw," said Jeremy Jimmar, Purcell Marian's 215-pound finalist. "It's been a long, long ride." .Jimmar's draw highlighted an -irony. While he was beating Zach Levy 8-2 in his semifinal match, Aaron Keough of Clermont Northeastern was losing in his semifinal. Keough ·has beaten Jimmar frequently. "Keough has beaten my tail since last year's district," Jimmar said. "I'm 0-5 against him." Wrestling since seventh grade, Jimmar said watching last year's state finalists frorrcthestands provided' motivation to wrestle more aggressively at this year's, tournament. "I also wanted to beat Coach Pope's record," Jimmar said. He's done that much. Until Friday night, Purcell assistant coach Cliff Pope was the school's highest state placer, finishing third in 1988. Jimmar meets Lisbon Beaver's Adam Hoppel in the 215-pound Division II final this evening. As with most of the wrestlers in Columbus this weekend, Jimmar is on the cusp of a dream come true. ''I'm in the finals," he said, perhaps trying to re-ground himself. "I'm in the finals." Monroe heavyweight Ben Ryan is the other Greater Cincinnati Division II finalist - which doubles last year's total for the division. CNE's Keough can finish no worse than sixth. That's true ·as well for Hillsboro 160-pounder Robert Zugg and Franklin's Daniel Watts at 171 pounds. No local Division II teams had made it into the top 10. Two area Division III wrestlers reached today' s finals. Reading's Chris Seta continued his offensive assault, beating Stephen Nutbrown of Marion River Valley in his 135-pound semifinal. Seta appeared in trouble at one point, nearly having his back exposed. "Chris doesn't panic. He worked through it," said Seta's coach, Dick Engel. Seta meets Streetsboro's Steve Blunk in today's final: Madeira's Kris Kuykendall has had a different look about him this week - eyes a little darker in the center, pace a bit more brisk. ''I'm trying to always attack," said the 130-pound finalist. "I wasn't as offensive at the beginning of the year, to about mid-year, as I should have been." The aggression is paying off. Kuykendall beat New Albany's Scott Elwood 6-4 to give himself the opportunity to become Madeira's first state wrestling champ. Kuykendall's teammates weren't as fruitful, though, and the Mustangs slipped from fifth to seventh in the team race. Joel Cottone lost to Martins Ferry's John Tierney 4-1 in his semifinal. At 171 pounds, Drew Cloran couldn't handle C.B. · Dollaway of Galion Northmor, losing 8-2. Reading's Bryan Wilson ran into trquble in his 215-pound semifinal. He lost 11-1 to Massillon Jackson's Zach Meissner. Still, Cottone, Cloran and Wilson are guaranteed state placers this year. With Shawn Burroughs still alive in the ·125-pound consolation bracket, Madeira could recover its earlier position. A topfive finish would be the school's best.

Bobby Douglas, Bridgeport The two-time state champi'"n beCame the state's first black champ in 1959. He made two Olympic teams (1964 and 1968) and plaGed fourth in 1964. He coached Arizona State to the 1988 NCAA title, and he currently is coach at perennial power Iowa State.

Cincinnati Purcell-Marian. Minnesota forward Dusty · Rychart has joined the continuing debate over which team owns the best home-court advantage in the Big Ten. Rychart casts a loud vote for Michigan State's Breslin Center. "It's easily the toughest place in the league (to play)," he told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. "It's probably the toughest home court in the nation.... No matter what part of the court you're on, sorilebody's yelling at you and Calling you naffies. It's definitely . intimidating." The reason? The first nine rows surroundillg the court, or about half. of the·lower bowl, belong to the students. "It's still a student-event center, and college is still about the students," MSU coach Tom Izzo said. 'There's no question that when you win 65 of your last 67 (home) games, you don't do it just .with a good .tea.Ill.

Contrary to the whispers, several people close to the St. Ed program say there is no bad blood between OSU and St. Ed, just bad timing. For example, a college wrestling coach may have only 10 scholarships to award to a recruiting class, and perhaps only two or three of those are full rides. He needs those to fill certain weight classes. If a college program has a standout freshman 125-pounder but his 184-pounder is about to graduate, it does him little good to recruit a 125-pound prep star. Urbas said that is what has happened of late between his program and OSU- the Buckeyes' needs didn't necessarily fit with the top-caliber senior wrestlers available at St Ed's. "I wouldn't say there's anything going on," Urbas said. "Russ Hellickson is a heck of a guy and his team has done a real nice job~" In the last few years, Hellickson reportedly was close to landing both Moos and Mark Jayne, who ended up at Illinois.

State wrestling tournament .,DIVISION I

·Jang pilin up \vins d pite Ia k of r spect Westerville North sophomore is 40-4 By Ray stein Dispatch Assistant Sports Editor Perhaps the greatest challenge Paul Jang has faced in his brief wrestling career was getting his mother to . approve of his endeavor into the sport Full maternal consent remains a work in progress, but Jang might be well on his way to taking care of the neXt hurdle by making his name at the state tournament. Jang, a Westerville North sophomore, took a first step toward statewide recognition yesterday by winning his first match at the state meet in Value City Arena, edging Paul Felton of Elyria 54 in Division I at 119 pounds. "Westerville North is kind of quiet · when it comes to wrestling," Jang said. "Nobody really knows who I am, not even in our league." Among those who are learning this weekend about Jang include Brian Brakeman, whose annual late-January forecast of Ohio state champions provides an immeasurable amount ofmoti-

vation for any grappler not ranked atop his weight class. And what does that mean, exactly, inJang's case? Just about everyone. · Brakeman, whose job might be as no-win as they come, ranked 28 wrestlers at 119 pounds, none named Jang and none from Westerville North. "It's sort of a slap in the face," said North coach ,Jerry McSwords, playing the incentive card to its fullest. Jang doesn't care, and hasn't for some time. He cruised through the sectional tournament, then captured the title in the Toledo district against · Brakeman-ranked wrestlers such as Chris Mills of Olentangy (ranked fourth) and David Dutton of Pickerington (lOth). His victim yesterday, Felton, was ranked eighth. Jang's opponent thiS morning in · the quarterfinals, Michael Davis of Westland, is rMkedninth. Down the road, perhaps, are wrestlers ranked first, second, t1'1ird, sixth, etc. "I got kind of angry at first, but nothing like nJY dad," saidJang, who

"He's still a lot more mad about this than me that I haven't been recognized." For Jang, though, the larger war on the home front is with his mother, Irene. He is the younger of two boys, and there are some aspects of the sport that rub her the wrong way. "She's a very protective mom," said Jang, who took up wrestling out

of the blue as a seventh-grader. "She doesn't like the cutting weight part of the sport and all of the contact. She gets scared to death." She hfld reason to be upset last year, when Jang suffered a dislocated right elbow in a seemingly harmless practice session. He was 13-2 at the time and, irorrically, ranked in the low 20s by Brakeman. But his season ended when

JACKETS' SEASON

THE WEEKEND PHILADELPHIA FLYERS AT NEW YORK RANGERS 3 P.M. SATURDAY, MAPISON SQUARE GARDEN

Robert Kron;s goal last night gave him 14 goals and 31 . points in 41 _ career games against the Pittsburgh Penguins, by far the most he has scored against any franchise.

Where to begin? Eric llndros, now with the Rangers, left the Flyers in an over-publicized, drawn-out spitfest with management last season, something the City of Brotherly Shove might never forget. Theo Fleury, also a Rangers player, is always at risk of losing his noodle (if he doesn't retire first, or course). Then there's the fact that both of these storind franchises have ample talent to make for a wonderful hockey garne and insane fans who are always half the fun. Send the kids outside, send the wife to the spa and cozy up on the couch. It'll be quite a show.

:Meloche learns about/ L life with_ Penguins ·d

• By Aaron Porizllne

· Dispatch Spoits Reporter Even before the Pittsburgh Pengllins played the Blue ' Jackets last night in Nationwide Arena, former Ohio State for: ward Eric Meloche was el'\ioying his return to Columbus. Meloche, a four-year standout with the Buckeyes from 1996 to 2000, was greeted by friends and teanunates from :his college dayS, but it went beyond that. ' "It was good to see (Buckeyes coach John) Markell up : in the seats," Meloche said after the Pengllins wrapped up :their morning skate. "I yelled at him, 'Hey, Johnny!' but I : wasn't able to get his attention. He was too busy talking. ' "That's OK, though. It was nice just to be able to yell at : him for once. Plus, f1l catch up to him later, fm sure.'' : These are heady times for Meloche. He was draftc1d by the , Penguins in the seventh round (186th pick overall) in 1996, before he started his OSU career. It may have been tetnpting to go the Canadianjuniors route, but Meloche stuck with his college p!;ms. Nowhe'sgladhedid "I've got four years of education under my belt, which is more than twothirds of this league," Meloche .said "Just the experience of Jiving on your own and learning things on your own, it's a great experience." Meloche said he is six classes from : graduating, but the completion of his degree will have to wait until his playing career is over. "I don't think I could sit in a classroom after a whole season of hockey," Meloche said. For now, Meloche is playjng on the Penguins' checking , line with Toby Petersen and Kris Beech, drawing between : 10 and 12minutes per game. · Meloche spent all of last season and the first half of this , one with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey : League. He was called up Jan. 12. Slowly, Meloche is learning about life in the NHL, with · an inch-long scar above his chin as proof. . . "We played Philadelphia in my (eighth game in Pitts•burgh)," Meloche said. "I came around behind the net and · there was (Flyers forward Keith) Primeau to greet me. He'sabigman. . "I caught his stick right in the mouth, and it went right through the lip. It took 20 stitches to close. No penalty, either. The ref said I ran into his stick How about that one?" · Ill HARKINS BACK- Blue Jackets coach Dave King skated past center Brett Harkins as the morning skate wound down and said the words Harkins was hoping to hear. "Brett, yol!'re back in there." Harkins' right foot, broken Feb. 4, is still a little sore, :but it healed enough to get clearance from team doctors :and intD the lineup last night. "I don't think it'll be entirely better until after the season," Harkins said. "I tweaked it a little in practice (on Wednesday) 1 · so I thought it was going to feel worse today. But it honestly felt as good today as it has since I injured it." The Blue Jackets can use Harkins, too. Before he was called up for good Dec. 29, the power play was choking along at 8.5 percent (14 of 165). In the 17 games Harkins played before the injury, the power play scored 19timesin 78 attempts (24.4percent). With Harkins out of the lineup the last five gan1es, the BlueJackets' power play was 3 of 22 (13.6 percent). Ill SLAP SHOTS - Ray Whitney (back sprain) skated without his back locking up on him, so he was in the lineup last night after missing only one game. . . . It took Jody Shelley and Pittsburgh's Krzysztof Oliwa one shift before they dropped the gloves, only 2:51 into the game.... Jamie Heward, Blake Sloan and Kevin Dineen all were healthy scratches for the Jackets.

Apparently, coach Rick Kehoe wanted no part of a "win one for the gimpy" speech. "Our feeling was that it would be a distraction," Kehoe said. "The guys needed to wony about this game, and then we'd tell them. "There's really no good time to break that news, though." · By Aaron Portzline Lemieux played Wednesday against the Dispatch Sports Reporter Kings.

Moeller wins 6th straight ~ectional z_j;7(o 2...

sectional titles .. Moeller regamed control with the help of 119-pound champion David Candy and 140-pound titlist Mike Baria. Lukens, a No.3 seed at 189, was eager to take on Elder No. 1 seed Chris Chambers after splitting matches with him during the season and was thrilled with his 4-3 decision. "All I wanted to do was prove to him that I could beat him," Lukens said. Moeller junior Chris Wessel helped clinch the section: al title with an 11-8 decision over Anderson's Mike Cut-. ting in the 215-pound final. Sycamore's Daniel MasonStraus qualified for the district meet to be held Friday and Saturday at Wilmington, improving to 34-0 with an 11-2 major decision over Moeller's Ryan Meyer at 135.

Moeller sophomore Ryan Lukens wanted to speak for the whole Crusaders team at the end of their Division I sectional tournament victory at St. Xavier Saturday night. "We were really frustrated when we lost the (Greater Catholic League meet) last week," Lukens 'said. "We came out a little slow and did' better in the last round, but it was too late. We wanted to come here and · get something back." Moeller's nine-year GCL winning streak was ~napped by St. Xavier Feb. 10, .but the Crusaders won their sixth straight sectional. "It was big for us to bounce back," Moeller coach jeff Gaier said. · Sophomore Brent Goode put Moeller ahead early, defeating Harrison's Rob Dear wester 11-5 at 103 pounds. Elder, which finished sec- , ond, took a brief lead with the help of 112-pound champion Chris Stetter. A fourth seed, Stetter defeated Oak Hills third seed josh Love 9-2 for his first sectional title. "I never counted myself out, but I did a lot better than I thought I could," Stetter said. "I thought I could win pretty . soon into it because I got all the takedowns I shot for." The win enabled Stetter to avenge an early-season pin by Love. Elder's Nick McCoy (125), Elliott Spence (130) and Kurt Thomas (152) also made good on regular-season losses to w;n

He's as good in the classroom and on the mat as any wrestler I've coached; says Jeff Gaier, who's been at Moeller for 20 years, 17 as the head wrestling coach. "Mi ke studies a lot of tape, he constantly works on technique and when he gets on the mat, he is very physical."

Steiner strong-arms his way in state meet Chippewa athlete was injured at age 4 ByRobOIIer

Dispatch Sports Reporter Eric Steiner felt the stares again yesterday, the way he does whenever he's in public. "I expected they'd notice me," he said This time, however, the eyes did not belong to gawking teenagers traipsing through the mall or childish brats munching at BurgerKing. •More state These eyes some of them un- wrestling tour· namentcoverdoubtedly wet belonged to those in age/08,9 Value City Arena who sellSe how hard it must be to compete at the state •wrestling tournament when you only have one arm. Many eyes were on Steiner as he lost his opening Division m match at 130 pounds. More looked his way as the junior from Chippewa won his night match to advance to Ute sec-

ond round of consolations today. And when each match ended, the applause tlnmdered louder than any other match of the day. "It feels good," Steiner said of the crowd reaction. "You could tell it was .coming from everybody and not just our fans.·· Our fans, their fans. All fans. It's hard not to root for Steiner, who lost an arm at age 4 in a farming accident and yet competes as if he has three arms, not one. A disadvantage? Definitely ... for Steiner's opponents. "We figured the majority of the opponents (at state) would not have seen him, which is to our advantage," Chippewa coach Dan McAnallensaid. Indeed. "I wasn't sure what to do. I knew he had to be good because he made it this far," said Devin Cocherl, a junior from Pleasant who needed overtime to edge Steiner 9-7_ "I couldn't do one of my gpecial moves because I had no way to get his ann.

"It just shows how he can adapt," Pleasant coach Doug Short said. "He just does it differently than most people do. It was impressive." Cocherl - who said he dicttt't realize until just before the mareh that Steiner was missing an arm said, "' give him a lot of credit for even making it tllis far.

No. 1 Moeller too much for Fairfield Crusaders show mettle, whip No.2 Indians 41-19 By Chris Yeager Bnqnirer contrilmtor

Though picked No. 1 by area coaches in the initial Enquirer poll, the Moeller wrestling team was an unknown quantity. Saturday night's 41-19 pounding of No. 2 Fairfield -provided at least a local measure of just how strong the Crusaders might be. "It's a big-time win," said senior co-captain Brandon Gilbert. "This match is how we are judged

in the area." Gilbert is one of a number of Moeller wrestlers who have been waiting for their chances to crack the starting lineup. The match started with the 135-pound weight class, with Moeller's Ryan Meyer gaining a 7-4 decision. In the next match, Gilbert's third-period pin of Fairfield's Jeremy Young at 140 pounds put the score at 9-0 and seemed to give the Crusaders a lift.

Dan Adkins' 12-6 win then put Moeller up 15-0. That's when the Fairfield seniors - who head coach Ron Masanek said needed to come through began producing. At 160, Joe Gadson beat Chad Schnitzler 7-2. Caleb Lawson pinned Daniel Gilbert at 171, and Tony Parker survived a rally by Moeller's Ryan Lukens to win a tight 11-8 match at 189. Parker's win, though,

cost Fairfield a team point on a rare uniform violation call. Thus, Curtis Rouse's 10-5 win over Chris Wessel at 215 pounds left Fairfield one behind Moeller at 15-14. And that's where Fairfield's apparent comeback stalled. A Fairfield wrestling forfeit is probably more rare than a uniform violation, but the Indians gave up six points by not fielding a heavyweight, putting Moeller up 21-14. After that, Moeller pretty much had its way. Brent Goode (103) and Tom Hay-

den (112) racked up major decisions. Back in the varsity lineup after a difficult season, David Candy (125) made it 36-14 by pinning Steve Nitz. Fairfield's Roger Hahn, one of eight starting seniors, won by technical fall over Brian Haverkos. Then Moeller's Joe Sheehan (130) capped the Crusaders' scoring with a 19-5 major decision over Matt Doxsey - and a much different outcome than last year's 29-26 Moeller win. Given Fairfield's longstanding reputation, the

Crusaders were ple~sed with their performance..., "This usually determ1nes the city title," Goode ~id. "It lets us know we'vd-reloaded, that we didn't lose that much from last year's team.

Moeller wins 6th straight sectional By Shannon Russell The Cincinnati Enquirer

Moeller sophomore Ryan Lukens wanted to speak for the whole Crusaders team at the end of their Division I sectional tournament victory at St. Xavier Saturday night. "We were really frustrated when we lost the (Greater Catholic League meet) last week," Lukens said. "We came out a little slow and did better in the last round, but it was too late. We wanted to come here and get something back." Moeller's nine-year GCL winning streak was snapped by St. Xavier Feb. 10, but the Crusaders won their sixth straight sectional. "It was big for us to bounce back," Moeller coach Jeff Gaier said. Sophomore Brent Goode put Moeller ahead early, defeating Harrison's Rob Dear wester 11-5 at 103 pounds. Elder, which finished second, took a brief lead with the help of 112-pound champion Chris Stetter. A fourth seed, Stetter defeated Oak Hills third seed Josh Love 9-2 for his first sectional title. "I never counted myself out, but I did a lot better than I thought I could," Stetter said. "I thought I could win pretty soon into it because I got all the takedowns I shot for." The win enabled Stetter to avenge an early-season pin by Love. Elder's Nick McCoy (125), Elliott Spence (130) and Kurt Thomas (152) also made good on regular-season losses to w;n

sectional titles. Moeller regained control with the help of 119-pound champion David Candy and 140-pound titlist Mike Baria. Lukens, a No. 3 seed at 189, was eager to take on Elder No. 1 seed Chris Chambers after splitting matches with him during the season and was thrilled with his 4-3 decision. "All I wanted to do was prove to him that I could beat him," Lukens said. Moeller junior Chris Wessel helped clinch the sectional title with an 11-8 decision over Anderson's Mike Cutting in the 215-pound final. Sycamore's Daniel MasonStraus qualified for the district meet to be held Friday and Saturday at Wilmington, improving to 34-0 with an 11-2 major decision over Moeller's Ryan Meyer at 135. AT WILMINGTON: Lakota East had the most champions, but Lakota West had the most points at the end of the day in the Wilmington sectional. The Thunderhawks had six individual champions Kody Pierson (119), Tim Sizemore (125), Dustin Baynes (145), Hetag Pliev (189), Brad Williams (215) and Tony Johnson (275) to three for the Firebirds Zach Flake (130), Stephen Wolery (135) and Matt Mcintire (140). But West, which had three wrestlers place second and three more third, beat East 262.5-229. Fairfield was third at 229.
