Lori Mahorney grew up en-joying water sports.

Her family had a swim-ming pool and boats. Mahor-ney could water ski. She couldeven swim underwater. Yet,she never had formal swim-ming lessons. This was some-thing she greatly missed.

As a mom in Mariemont,she made certain that her ownfour children learned to swim.They belonged to local swimclubs and competed. Herthree daughters – Erin, Col-leen and Bridget - competed atMariemont High School whileher son, Reid, pursued basket-ball.

“When I watched them atthe meets I thought, ‘I wish Icould do that,’” Mahorneysaid. “So I kind of put it on abucket list thinking I would doit when I retired.”

Mahorney, 60, has not re-tired from her speech patholo-gist job with the HamiltonCounty Educational ServiceCenter. However, last fall shetook the plunge at the Cincin-nati Sports Club to address herbucket list item.

With the help of swimminginstructor Lindsey Overberg,Mahorney is learning to swim.

“At our first practice ourgoal was to get her from oneend of the pool to the otherwithout her hurting herself,”Overberg said. Lessons wereinitially basic and rangedfrom how to properly put ongoggles to proper breathingtechniques.

Every other week sinceSeptember, Overberg and Ma-horney have met. For thosefirst lessons, Overberg hadher student bring her pool capand goggles to lessons. A cou-ple weeks later fins were add-ed. After a few more weeks,Mahorney reported to the poolwith her arms full of equip-ment.

“Every time she comes shewants to swim a mile,” Over-berg said. As a beginner, if shegot in 10, 15 or 20 laps, she wasdoing well. A mile at the Cin-cinnati Sports Club is 70 laps.

Swimming a mile was notMahorney’s only goal. Shewanted to surprise her chil-dren when they were all homeat Christmas this past year byshowing off her new and im-proved pool skills. Under theguise of running errands, Ma-horney and her childrenstopped at the CincinnatiSports Club on Christmas Eveto deliver a gift to Lindsey.

Wearing her swimsuit se-cretly beneath her clothes,Mahorney made a quickchange and was in the pool be-fore her children realizedwhat was happening.

Overberg immediately puther student to work as she alsowatched the expressions onthe faces of the Mahorneyclan.

“They were all looking inthe window, their mouthshanging open,” she said.

The swimming surprisewas a complete shock to Ma-horney’s daughters. Reid wasprepared ahead of time. Al-ready home from college onbreak, he stepped out of hisbedroom to see his mom re-turning from a swim lesson.She had no choice but to lethim in on her secret.

The big surprise now be-hind her, Mahorney is focusedon the future. Lessons withOverberg continue as sheworks to improve her endur-ance and breathing.

“I want to build up myspeed,” Mahorney said. “I al-ways want to swim a mile. Itwould be nice to do it in 45 min-utes instead of an hour.”

HYDE PARK — Keep it resi-dential!

That was the rallying cryof residents attending aMarch 10 Hyde Park Neigh-borhood Council.

At issue was a potentialzone change on Zumstein Av-enue.

Legal firm Stagnaro, Sabaand Patterson had asked forcouncil’s support for a zoningchange at 3443 ZumsteinAve., a building owned by the

firm. The Zumstein Avenuebuilding is next to the firm’scurrent offices at 2623 ErieAve.

The company wanted thezoning for the three-storyZumstein Avenue building tobe changed from “single fam-ily residential” to “office lim-ited.”

It’s a matter of additionalspace, said Peter Saba, ashareholder with the firmwho spoke during the councilmeeting.

“We have outgrown thespace (we are at),” he

said.”We enjoy being in HydePark, (but) without the extraspace it is difficult for us.”

Saba said the lower floor ofthe building would providespace for a conference room,restroom and additional of-fice space. He said the two up-per floors, which are current-ly occupied, would remain asapartments.

Residents attending themeeting as well as councilmembers objected to the zonechange proposal. Council vot-

OAKLEY — A new apartmentcomplex will open in Oakleythis summer.

Madmar Flats will consist ofseven three-story buildingsthat will house 272 units. It willbe between Madison Road andMarburg Avenue. The name ofthe development, “MadMar,” isbased on its location at MadisonRoad and Marburg Avenue.

“We looked at (this) as a goodurban redevelopment opportu-nity,” said John Cumming, sen-ior vice president of develop-ment operations for Bucking-ham Companies.

Buckingham Cos. is the de-veloper of the property.

“We see Oakley as very pro-gressive,” Cumming said.

Cumming added that the“walkable” element of Oakleywas a factor in building apart-ments at the site. The site isclose to a variety of amenities

including grocery stores andrestaurants, he said.

Also the location’s closeproximity to downtown Cincin-nati was a consideration, ac-cording to Cumming.

He said the apartmentsshould appeal to both youngprofessionals and empty-nest-ers.

The proximity of the apart-

ments to several area schools isalso likely to be an attract youngfamilies, he said.

The rental costs for theapartments will range from$1,304 to $2,106 per month.

He said the apartments willopen in two phases with half ofthem opening in the summerand the remainder opening inthe fall.

The City of CincinnatiTraffic Engineering De-partment is not doingenough to improve the in-tersection of Waysideand Salem, residents wholive there say.

In fact, the city madethe situation worse whenit ordered the removal ofa mirror that a group ofresidents bought andhung five years ago in aneffort to improve inter-section safety, accordingto an email from SusanaCobb.

The intersection has ahigh volume of traffic, es-pecially during rushhours, and the visibility is“extremely poor, espe-cially when turning leftfrom Wayside to Salem,”she wrote. After failed at-tempts to have a trafficsign or light installed atthe intersection, resi-dents pooled their re-sources for the mirror.

“This cost hundreds ofdollars,” according toCobb. “We installed themirror and it helped tre-mendously.”

In an effort to get theirmirror reinstalled, a pet-ition was started on Chan-ge.org which is approach-ing 200 signatures.

The mirror was takendown because it was putup illegally, said DennisLechlak, traffic engineerfor Cincinnati.

“Once we found outabout it, it was removedwithin about one and-a-half-days,” he said. Rec-ognizing that there areresidents who are con-cerned about the inter-section’s safety, especial-ly with removal of themirror, the city engi-neer’s office is looking atthe intersection.

Part of this process in-

cludes looking at thearea’s traffic history, spe-cifically accidents. Basedon both federal and stateguidelines, current datadoes not warrant a trafficdevice at the intersec-tion, Lechlak said. Thismeasures only reportedaccidents.

“I do agree that there’sa concern,” he said.” Weneed to find a way to im-prove the safety there orat least the perceivedsafety.”

One effort recentlymade to improve safetyinvolved repainting thetraffic lines at the Salemand Wayside intersec-tion. The lines are de-signed to change people’sapproach to the intersec-tion and to guide motor-ists to “square up,” Le-chlak said.

With a 90-degree ap-proach from Wayside toSalem, the sight distanceis improved, he said. Thedownside, however, isthat the new paintedguides are not being usedby people, Lechlak said.

Motorists continue to ap-proach the intersectionmuch as they have in thepast.

Motorists can alsoavoid the intersection ofWayside and Salem bytaking Sutton Road, Le-chlak suggested notingthat this does present alittle inconvenience andmight add about one min-ute of travel time.

The city is looking atinstalling vertical guides(traffic sticks) to try tochange motorists’ ap-proach to the intersec-tion.

What measures thecity has taken to datehave not improved the in-tersection, Cobb said inan email. The intersec-tion’s lines were repaint-ed prior to removal of themirror and traffic sticksare not the answer, shesaid. The city also recent-ly put up a traffic deviceto monitor and displaymotorists’ speed. This de-vice is not accurate orideal. Residents are frus-trated at the lack of re-sponse from the city,Cobb wrote.

“A neighbor paid forand installed signs warn-ing drivers to slow downsince the mirror was go-ne...It is ridiculous thatwe have to make our ownsigns to assure we aresafe,” she added. In addi-tion, speed is not the onlymajor factor. Visibility isthe issue at hand. Only amirror, stop sign or lightwill help here.

Residents are deter-mined to continue theirpush for a resolution. Thepetition remains activeand calls for reinstalla-tion of the mirror and forother safety improve-ments for the intersec-tion. The petition can befound at http://chn.ge/1xM9OQe.

ed unanimously againstit.

Council Board Mem-ber Gary Wollenweber,who also heads council’szoning committee, saidthe zone change could ul-timately extend beyondjust the proposed build-ing on Zumstein. He cau-tioned that a zone changecould potentially impactthe whole block.

“We have to look at the

big picture,” he said, add-ing that a zone changecould have an “endur-ing” effect.

Residents attendingthe meeting were alsounited in their opposi-tion.

“(I’m) totally againstthe creep of business andoffice into residentialneighborhoods,” Zum-stein Avenue residentNorman Whittakersaid .“Residential should re-main residential.”

Erie Avenue residentIna Loftspring also hadconcerns similar to Wol-

lenweber.“When zone changes

occur, it’s permanent,”she said. “A lot can hap-pen.”

The proposal still hasto go before the Cincin-nati planning examiner.

Saba said that if thezone change is opposed,the firm may relocate. Inaddition to Hyde Park,the firm also has an of-fice in Anderson Town-ship

“One option is movingall of our operations toBeechmont (Avenue),”he said.

Cases for Love far ex-ceeds its goal of collect-ing 1,200 bags for areafoster children.

More than triple thatnumber of suitcases, duf-fel bags and backpacks,were collected with thefinal group of bags beingloaded onto a truck onValentine’s Day at theKenwood Sibcy Cline of-fice. All of the bags wereto be delivered to the of-fice of Hamilton CountyJob and Family Services.From there the bags will

be shared with agenciesserving foster childrenin Hamilton, Butler,Greene and Montgomerycounties and NorthernKentucky.

Project creator JuliePhillippi-Whitney notedthat the campaign wasmore successful thanever imagined.

“It’s been a huge suc-cess,” she said. Phillippi-Whitney and others gath-ered in Kenwood at theSibcy Cline location toload up the last bags andcelebrate the project’ssuccess.

Moira Weir, director

of Hamilton County Joband Family Services, wason hand as the final bagswere loaded onto themoving van Feb. 14.

“It’s been wonderful tosee the community cometogether,” she said.

As noted in the past,foster children come intothe care of HamiltonCounty Job and FamilyServices at various hoursof the day and night, Weirsaid. Often the few itemsthey have with them areeither being carried in atrash bag or in theirarms. Thanks to Casesfor Love, many localagencies will now be ableto provide the childrenwith a suitcase or duffelbag in which they cancarry their belongings.

“We’re very grateful,”she said.

Cases for Love was acollaborative venture be-tween Phillippi-WhitneyCommunications, SibcyCline Realtors, Univer-sity Moving and Storageand Hamilton County Joband Family Services. Theoriginal goal was to pro-vide about 1,200 suit-cases and backpacks inwhich foster childrencan carry their belong-ings. This project was

launched Jan. 5 and con-cluded Feb. 13. More than5,500 bags were collect-ed.

The 22 Sibcy Cline of-fices served as the collec-tion points for the bags.

“The turnout has beenjust amazing,” said PamSibcy, vice president ofmarketing for SibcyCline. “We would like tothank everyone in thecommunity for their par-ticipation.”

“It’s been an unbeliev-able campaign,” saidMark Bruns, vice presi-dent and general man-ager of University Mov-ing and Storage. He vol-unteered his company topick up the suitcasesfrom each of the SibcyCline locations and deliv-er them downtown. TheUniversity facility inWest Chester Townshipalso served as a drop offlocation.

Whitney expressedher gratitude to every-one involved in the pro-ject. She and the othermembers of this groupare looking forward tocontinuing their effortsagain next year to pro-vide support in variousways to foster childrenthroughout the tri-state.

Mariemont Elementary» The Greater Cincinnati

Foundation Governing Board andthe Learning Links Grant ReviewCommittee recently awarded$1000 of grant money to Ann Bul-lar’s second grade classroom atMariemont Elementary to pur-chase multi-level non-fictionbooks.

The second grade focuses onexploring non-fiction text, andBullar thought that the grant mon-ey would really propel the experi-ence for all second grade students.She is sharing the grant moneywith the other second grade class-rooms so all students have accessto these new materials.

“The Learning Links grant hasmade our project more successfulby offering multi-level text for ourreaders,” said Bullar. “This hasmade it easier to meet the individ-ual needs of our students.”

Mariemont High School» Mariemont High School stu-

dents Gretchen Wittry and LilaWillis, photographs were selectedas finalists for the 35th annual Col-lege and High School PhotographyContest, co-sponsored by Nikonand Photographer’s Forum maga-zine. More than 17,000 photo-graphs were entered from theUnited States, Canada and aroundthe world.

St. Ursula Academy» Although it is summertime in

Chile, three young ladies fromSantiago had to dust off their win-ter coats to experience the wintryweather of Cincinnati as they at-tended Saint Ursula Academy for afew weeks.

Maria Jesus Araya Lira, AliciaHewstone and Constanza Urmene-ta, all from Santiago, Chile, arepart of a foreign exchange pro-gram with the Villa Maria Acad-emy in Santiago, Chile. They ar-rived in the United States at the be-ginning of January and spent aweek in Washington, D.C., beforetraveling to meet their host fam-ilies in Cincinnati. While in Cincin-nati, they attended classes at SaintUrsula Academy, learned aboutthe culture, and, much to their sur-prise, enjoyed the hype surround-ing the Super Bowl, somethingwhich is very different from theattitude surrounding sports inChile, where the only televisedsport is soccer.

Because the students have at-tended American School in Chile,they are fluent in English whichcontributed to their decision tostudy in the United States. Theirparents, like many parents of theirfriends in Chile, believe that trav-eling abroad to experience variouscultures is crucial in the develop-ment and education of young peo-ple today. Because of this, many oftheir friends are also participatingin the exchange program through-out the world. They kept in touchwith each other through blogs and

emails detailing their experiences. When asked about the differ-

ence between education in theUnited States and education inChile, all three students respondedthat education here was “morestrict.”

Said Araya Lira, “At home, ifyou have a family function thenight before at test, the familyfunction is first. You will take yourtest another day. Here, if you havea family function, you must stilltake the test.”

When asked what part of dailylife is different from their hometown, they stated that the lack ofpublic transportation in Cincinnatiwas very surprising, as they areaccustomed to taking subways,taxis, and buses quite frequently.Another noted difference? Thelack of stray dogs.

“At home, dogs just wander inthe streets. Here they are pets andit is not legal to let them just wan-der around. We were confused inWashington, D.C., because wedidn’t see any dogs anywhere,” Ur-meneta said.

Additionally, Hewstone noticedwater fountains are plentiful.

“In the United States, there arewater fountains everywhere. Athome, you just don’t have the op-portunity to fill a water bottlewherever you are.”

Saint Ursula Academy Spanishteacher Corina Corder was happyto be an advisor to the Chilean stu-dents and sees numerous reasonswhy foreign travel is important foryoung women.

“The students learn independ-ence, confidence, and learn an ap-preciation for both their own andother cultures. Through daily in-teractions such as ordering theirown food, doing laundry, shoppingat a store, etc, they learn the skill ofpatiently communicating acrosscultures. Most importantly, stu-dents who participate in a globalexchange form lasting connec-tions with people from around theworld.

As part of this program, the stu-dents’ host sisters, Sylvia Wam-pler ’16, Kelsey Harbert ‘16, andShannon Brown ’15 will be visitingChile and attending school in Santi-ago later this year. They look for-ward to the experience, especiallymeeting the families of the stu-dents who are becoming like fam-ily to them.

MARCH 18, 2015 • EASTERN HILLS JOURNAL • A7NEWS

My favorite cookie sheet isdecades old. It cost a lot less than

my restaurant qual-ity sheets which Ibought years later.When I use that oldcookie sheet, I findmyself smiling,remembering whenmy boys were littleand they shapedcookie dough intoworms, tanks andbugs to bake on it.That’s a piece of

equipment with a history.Whenever I have a speaking

engagement about food or family, Ilike to ask participants what their

most treasured kitchen item is. Itseems like just about everybodyhas a favorite utensil, pot, or gadg-et. “Mine is my mother’s sifter”,one lady said. Another mentionedrolling pans from grandma. Oneyoung person I mentored trea-sured his dad’s apron: “He worethat apron every time he cookeddinner on the grill. Now I wear it”,he said. So don’t get rid of that wellloved kitchen item when you re-place it with new. Pass it down tokeep the traditions and memoriesgoing.

Mike, a Clermont County read-er, needs a recipe for dairy freerolls that are suitable for diabetics.Here’s a good one. I baked these on

my old cookie sheet and theyturned out just fine.

Can you help?Great Scott’s chowder. Trish M.

remembers this chowder fondly.“Great Scott restaurant made thebest potato, corn and jalapenochowder. I've tried to duplicate itbut it's just not the same. I knowthey have closed but is there anychance you can get the recipe? Itwas one of our families favorites.”

Diabetics can enjoy dinner rolls too

Dairy free, egg free dinner rolls

Powdered creamer is used by more than a few bakers toachieve a nice tasting, dairy free, dinner roll. I was surprisedmyself at how well these turned out. They tasted as good asmy higher fat rolls. Nice alongside that Easter ham. Thesefreeze well after baking.

Diabetic exchange: The diabetic exchange is 1-1/2 starch,1/2 fat for each roll. You can make these by hand or machine.

Imagine. James Rheinstromreturns to Indian Hill from thehereafter. Strolls across hismagnificent acreage and stepsin ... dog poop. Piles and pilesof dog poop. Twenty-sevenacres of dog poop to be exact.

My black Labrador retriev-er Searay and I are regulars inRheinstrom Park. I have beenbringing him since he was apup. He and I have establishedhuman and canine bonds overthe course of the past three-plus years. He can hardly be

containedbefore we getinto the park-ing lot offGraves Road.Boom. Out ofthe car andhits the groundrunning. Anx-ious to sniffevery tree,meet a newpooch or rompin mounds of

beautiful wintry snow. Snow

that is now awash in dog feces.I am not a control freak. Nor

a sanitation fanatic. I am apolite and conscientious dogowner. Searay and I are fortu-nate to have a park where hecan run free. It is a luxury. Ajoy for all dogs. Not a place forrude, neglectful canine ownersto take advantage. Those whonever have a mutt-mitt dogbag, never pick up and leave iton or close to the trails. Trailswhere adults and their chil-dren come to enjoy in all sea-

sons.I assume most people who

enter Rheinstrom Park canread. There is a sign as youenter, “Please Pick Up AfterYour Pet.” In addition a boxwith doggie doo bags and atrash can for your convenience... bags in the trash. Not thrownas a Frisbee in the trees fordecoration.

Dog droppings can be haz-ardous to humans and otherdogs. They carry disease. Theycarry smell. They do not disin-

tegrate or magically disappear.So, I have a wonderful sugges-tion: If you object to picking upafter your dog, stay home. Youare treading upon our walkingpaths ... clean boots ... sense ofsmell. Our respect for the parkwe are privileged to play upon.

If you please: keep Rhein-strom Park poop free. Evenyour dog will thank you.

were taught the tenets ofthis philosophy, and now thisis a part of who you are; it isnow your belief system.Why did you accept thesebeliefs? Because you trust-ed your elders; you believedthey were correct; and, thatwhat they taught you wasthe whole truth, even ifthere were no supportingfacts.

Now we are engaged in anescalating war with peoplewho have been taught a dif-ferent set of beliefs. Theseare often people with noprior formal religious train-ing, but they carry withthem a nagging resentmentfor perceived injustices.You are an infidel, based ontheir new belief system.

This new belief systemhas been given to them so

that they will follow leaderswho wish to control yourlife, your home, your state,your country and your as-sets. These new followerswill be used in battle to sub-due you infidels to thedeath; or, until such time astheir leaders are in full con-trol.

Why do they join? Theywant to belong; they like thecamaraderie; the boost oftheir self-esteem. They arebeing taught that if they die,it is as a martyr. They be-lieve they would die as he-roes; they are taught thatthis is a religious duty. Theyare drinking the JonestownKool-Aid of a political cult.They have been swindled bydeceptive recruiting prac-tices.

Convincing these recruitsto leave would be as likelyas convincing a fundamen-talist Christian that Roe vs.Wade was good law.

March 11 questionA bill to allow cities to

create open-container districtsmuch like those in New Or-leans or Memphis, Tennessee,appears likely to pass the OhioLegislature this year, and Cin-cinnati officials hope the billbecomes law by Opening Day,April 6. Is this a good idea or abad idea? Why or why not?

“I think it is a good idea ifyou want the open containerdistrict to have the smell offresh urine, with the ownersof establishments needing tobasically hose down allaround their places eachmorning to eliminate theodor.

“I think right now, there isenough opportunity to drink,with enough bars, in closeenough proximity that aperson can go from one barto the next without having tobring their alcohol withthem.

“I’m not against drinking,but I don’t think anyone thathas been down to any sport-ing event or into the OTRVine Street areas feel thatnot enough opportunities todrink are occurring.’

C.S.

“This one surprised me abit. Didn’t know we didn’talready allow open contain-ers in many parts of Cincin-nati. Would not want two ofmy admired places to get introuble. Lines of people wait-ing in the street for a table,while enjoying their ‘adultbeverages’ at one of them,never seem to have any con-flicts.

“The logic of letting peo-ple walk outside at another,to avoid annoying guests andbreaking the law by smokinginside, makes sense to me.I’m a recovering nicotineaddict, embarrassed by how30 years ago I must have

really annoyed so many withmy habit. As I stood on astreet corner in Key West,talking to a uniformed policeofficer, while holding a large‘adult beverage’ I inquiredabout the ‘street law’ there.His reply was exactly how Ibelieve it should be. ‘Are youcausing any trouble? Didn’tthink so. Guess there is noproblem.’”

D.B.

“The Reds now start theOpening Day game at 4:15.They shut off Freedom Wayand Joe Nuxhall Way for thatday. They have three to fourvery large ‘beer trailers’setup and 16-ounce plasticbottles are sold, one per cus-tomer for $5. The open con-tainer is controlled withinthat area. I am not sure thebenefit of expanding thisbeyond certain special Redsgames such as the All Stargame and playoffs. If thelocal bars are in favor thentry it on an experimentalbasis. You can count on folkssneaking their own alcoholinto the area. Go Figure!”

SPRINGFIELD — There isplenty for the Summit Coun-try Day girls basketball teamto be pleased with this season:27 wins, sectional and districtchampionships and an ap-pearance in the Division IIIelite eight.

But this loss, the only lossof the season, will stick withthem for some time. The Sil-ver Knights couldn’t over-come a poor shooting perfor-mance in the 41-24 loss to Ver-sailles in the Division IIISpringfield regional champi-onship.

24 points is the lowestSummit has scored all season.

“We lost to a good team,”Summit head coach Beth Sim-mons said. “They’re experi-enced and have been hereyear after year. We didn’thave a good game. Our shoot-ing percentage couldn’t havebeen higher than 20 percent.”

Summit’s shooting woesbegan almost from the open-ing tip. Its trio of guards, Rav-in Alexander, Malauna Camp-bell and Kiley Barnard, wereslashing to the basket but theshots weren’t under controland were well off the mark.

Fortunately for Summit,Versailles struggled to getthings rolling on its end andcould only muster an 8-7 leadafter the first quarter.

In the second quarter, theTigers effectively put thegame out of reach. Versaillesopened up a 21-10 lead, out-scoring Summit 13-3. Four Ti-gers scored in the quarter.

Alea Harris and Alexan-der scored for Summit.

Based on some of the facesof Summit players comingout of the locker room for thesecond half, it was clear thatthey needed some kind ofspark.

“I wasn’t really worriedabout the deficit at thatpoint,” Simmons said. “We al-ways preach coming outstrong in the first three min-utes of the second half, but Ithink the game got away fromus in the third quarter and itwas hard to recover. “

In the fourth, Summit got asmall boost from seniors Bar-nard and Campbell. Theycombined for five points tocut the deficit to 10.

Shortly after, Versailles’

Taylor Winner sank threefree throws to push the leadback up to 13.

The Tigers closed out thevictory with more freethrows.

“We had a little bit of aspark in the fourth quarter;we had it down to 10 at onepoint,” the coach said. “Thatwas the closest we were ableto get. We had too many obsta-cles to overcome.”

DAYTON — What a differencea year makes.

The Purcell Marian Cavalierswent from 8-17 last year and to18-8 and counting this season.They won 68-54 against the Ver-sailles Tigers in Tuesday night’sDivision III district champion-ship to cut down the nets at Uni-versity of Dayton.

“I can’t express how happy Iam for the kids that have been inthis program for two-threeyears that really struggledthrough some lean times,” Cava-liers head coach Scott Kerr said.“To turn it around, come back uphere to UD and get a districtchampionship, I could not behappier for those guys and whatthey have done since I got thejob last April.”

Senior Landis Owensby ledthe way with 21 points for theCavaliers. Teammates RashaadAli-Shakir, Jordan Gaines andLaDale Donaldson combined for33 more.

The Cavaliers built on a 13-12lead in the first quarter and ledby as many as 14 points midwaythrough the second.

The sharp-shooting Ali-Sha-kir went 3-for-3 from beyond thearc in the first half. According toKerr, Versailles had been hold-ing teams to around 40 pointsper contest.

So, a fast start, which theygot, was going to be crucial forthe Cavaliers.

“We shot the ball very wellearly and got out to the lead wewanted,” Kerr said. “We werethen able to grind them down.They’re not real deep or at leastnot as deep as we are.”

Versailles’ Kyle Ahrens al-most singlehandedly broughtthe team back in the second half.He finished with 33 of the Ti-gers’ 54 points.

“He’s going to get his pointsand is going to Michigan State

for a reason,” Kerr said. “Ourjob was to stop the other guysand limit their scoring, which wedid a pretty good job of.”

Kerr added there were timesin the second and third quarterswhen some secondary players

like Jace Barga and Justin Ah-rens got on a roll.

However, Purcell’s lead nev-er dipped to an uncomfortablemargin, and the Cavaliers pulled

DAYTON — Threemonths after losing toWilmington High Schoolby 15, the Moeller Crusad-ers basketball team metup with the Hurricaneagain in a Division I dis-trict final at the Univer-sity of Dayton Arena.

At 17-8, coach CarlKremer found himself inthe very unusual situationof being a postseason un-derdog against the 24-1Hurricane.

Wilmington, featuringsenior Jaevin Cumber-land and junior JarronCumberland, took thefirst quarter lead 12-11.However, the Moeller de-fense shut them down inthe second quarter, hold-ing them to just one bas-ket as the Crusaders led19-14 at the break.

“We have incrediblygood assistant coaches,”Kremer said. “Peoplehave a tough time gettingeasy looks off of us.”

The third stanza sawWilmington break out oftheir scoring slump to tieMoeller at 27, but JaevinCumberland did pick uphis fourth foul, limitinghis involvement until thefinal frame.

The pace picked up inthe fourth quarter withMoeller junior TreyMcBride using his uniqueleaping ability for a keytip dunk and a put-backthat gave Moeller a leadthe Hurricane could nev-er overcome. JarronCumberland did score

with :27 to go to get withina basket, but NateGeorgeton added a freethrow late to make for the46-43 final in favor of theCrusaders.

“We really got hit in themouth in the third quar-ter,” Kremer said. “NateGeorgeton and Riley Vossreally made some incred-ible experienced playerplays for us.”

Georgeton was able todribble around and makeit to the charity stripewhere he made seven ofeight on the night. Vosswas part of the defensiveeffort that limited Wil-

mington to just 27 percentshooting.

“They certainly didn’tshoot it as well as they didat their place,” Kremerobserved.

Trey McBride ledMoeller with 14 points and12 rebounds, while JarronCumberland had 23points and 10 boards forWilmington. McBride’ssky-walking tip-dunkmidway through thefourth quarter was thekey momentum shifterfor the Crusaders. The 6-foot McBride soared overplayers 5 inches taller.

“He jumps like anOlympic high jumper,”Kremer said. “He’s just aphenomenal athlete.What makes him great ishe is unpredictable. Treywants to win and heleaves it all out on thefloor.”

The Crusaders move tothe regional semifinal atCintas Center on Wednes-day against Springfield,who defeated La Salle 54-41. Moeller also previous-ly lost to Springfield, 74-72 in overtime Jan. 3.

“The one thing atMoeller is you don’t getthe opportunity to play asthe underdog very often,”Kremer said.

The Crusaders havegone from having fivenew starters and lastyear’s center, Nate Fow-ler, out for the season todistrict champions. Whenthey take the floor at Xa-vier March 18, they’ll betwo wins away from astate tournament appear-ance.

MARIEMONT — War-riors wrestling head coachRodney Cash said it wastough to see senior RileyHenderson not qualify forthe state tournament in hisfinal season. Especiallysince he has been Hender-son’s coach since he was 3or 4 years old.

However, Cash saidthere is still plenty to vali-date Henderson, who wasa state alternate his sopho-more year, in his career.The senior will graduateas the program’s all-timeleader in wins with 154.

“He’s meant every-thing to this program,” thecoach said. “He’s made thefinals of most of the tour-naments he’s been in; youcould always count on him.It’s nice to have someonelike that around the pro-

gram.”Henderson had three

straight 40-win seasonsand won a Cincinnati HillsLeague title for a thirdtime. Each of those titleswas accompanied by first-team all-CHL recognition.

He finished third at 126pounds during his fresh-men season and was CHLhonorable mention thatyear.

During his sophomoreseason, he pinned WayneTrace’s Tyler Showalterwith five seconds left inthe second round of theirfifth-place match at dis-tricts to qualify as a statealternate.

This year, Hendersonhad a tough road in the Di-vision III district meet atHobart Arena in Troy. Af-ter defeating Troy Chris-tian’s Seth Bell in the firstround, he had to face Lo-gan Lacure, the defending

Division III state champi-on at 145 pounds.

Lacure defeated Hen-derson 11-6 and eventuallybecame the district cham-pion.

After defeating Sum-mit Country Day’s JoshuaCampbell, Hendersonfaced Showalter in a re-match of their fifth-placematch two seasons ago.

Showalter won 13-6 thistime around and went onto qualify for the statemeet with a third-placefinish.

“You have to be on ev-ery single match and hejust got caught in two five-point moves in thosematches,” Cash said. “It’stough to be a senior andnot have another chance atmaking it to the state tour-nament. He took it prettywell, and I think wrestlingtaught him a lot. It’s beenfun watching him grow.”

Henderson’s involve-ment with wrestling mightnot be finished.

“He’s gotten looks froma couple schools,” thecoach said. “I think he isgoing to visit them and seewhat his options are. Heloves the sport and I couldsee him being a coachsomeday.”
