When the first Academy ofGlobal Studies class graduatedin May, “we found out that thosestudents came out with skillsets that we want all of our stu-dents to have,” Holden said.

“They are poised, their lan-guage is different, confident,”she said. “They’re assertive andknowledgeable.”

So the project-based learn-

ing approach was incorporatedinto the high school curriculum,with a focus this year on ninth-and 10th-grades.

Winton Woods teachers weretrained in the project-basedlearning approach and one-to-one technology was put in placeat the high school.

“This is forward-thinking,”Principal Eric Martin said,“from a fixed mindset to agrowth mindset.”

As the second semester be-gins, administrators continue toplan for future growth.

to ask drone operators toregister. The plan is toeventually restrict radiocontrolled planes to Heri-tage Park, and Obergeis-ing Park, and guidelinesare being developed. Of-ficials plan to act ondrone policies at thetownship’s meeting Feb.9.

Green Township Po-lice Chief Bart West saidthe township does nothave any rules pertainingto the operation of dronesor remote control flyingdevices within its parks.

He said the township’sparks regulations werelast updated in 2012,which is before most toydrones became popular.

To his knowledge,West said there havebeen no reported issueswith people flying dronesin township parks. As thepopularity of consumerdrones grows, he saidtownship officials mayhave to consider revisit-ing the park regulationsif necessary.

“Certainly, if we startto encounter problemswith them, we would lookinto it,” he said.

The Federal AviationAdministration has safe-ty guidelines that recre-ational drone flyers mustfollow. These include notflying near manned air-crafts and following com-munity regulations.

In addition to parks,recreational aircraft andunmanned aerial vehi-cles are not permitted inthe Downtown area, in-cluding airspace over theOhio River, Great Amer-ican Ball Park and PaulBrown Stadium, accord-ing to the city of Cincin-nati. Drone use also isprohibited within fivemiles of the Greater Cin-cinnati/Northern Ken-tucky International Air-port and the Lunken Air-port.

A “Know Before You

Fly” campaign waslaunched by the Associa-tion for Unmanned Vehi-cle Systems Interna-tional and the Academyof Model Aeronautics inpartnership with theFAA.

The campaign has awebsite at knowbefo-reyoufly.org to helpdrone flyers find infor-mation about regula-tions.

The campaign’s goal isto educate unmanned air-craft users about whereand how they can operatewithin regulations. Ac-cording to the campaign,recreational users arenot allowed to fly higherthat 400 feet and must re-main at least 25 feet awayfrom individuals and vul-nerable property.

Standing 6 feet tall,Cole Gross of SprinfieldTownship is an imposingfigure on any athleticfield.

Whether it be on thehardwood, the soccerfield or ice hockey arena,Gross is comfortable andready to compete. Hishockey team, CincinnatiSabres, recently won theleague championship.

Like most high schoolseniors, Gross also enjoysvideo games. One of hisfavorite is “Grand TheftAuto.”

Behind the broad,friendly (and somewhatmischievous) smile andbeaming brown eyes,Gross is every bit anaccomplished student – atrue success story for theLOFT and other pro-grams at St. Rita Schoolfor the Deaf in Evendale.

Yes, Gross is deaf. Theonly deaf member of hischampionship hockeyteam. Through the com-munication skills he’sacquired at St. Rita, in-cluding American SignLanguage, he’s as chattyas any teen.

Gross first came to St.Rita School for the Deafthrough its LOFT pro-gram (Language Oppor-tunity for Tots) at lessthan 1-year-old after anearly birth. LOFT is afull-day early interven-tion program designed tomeet the developmentaland educational needs ofyoung children throughage 2. The St. Rita Mon-tessori preschool pro-gram is for ages 3-5 serv-ing hearing, deaf andapraxic children.

The LOFT/preschoolprograms started in theearly ’90s in response to arequests from both St.Rita staff members andparents. The staff mem-bers wanted an on-grounds daycare pro-gram for their children.Parents wanted childcarethat could meet the needsof their children. The twowere combined and LOFTand the preschool pro-gram were formed, Exec-utive Director GregErnst said. The programalso incorporates Amer-ican Sign Language class-es for parents.

“What was happening,

the children were begin-ning to sign. Sign lan-guage develops quickerthan children can speak,he said. So parents werecoming to St. Rita staffmembers wanting toknow what their childrenwere saying.

Gross has some memo-ries of his early years inLOFT. He remembersplaying with toys, takingnaps, he said. He alsoremembers learning tosign. This not only helpedhim to learn to communi-cate, but also how tospell, he said.

“I took my first stepsover there in LOFT,”Gross said through hisinterpreter.

Gross has remainedwith St. Rita throughouthis education and hasbenefited. He said that ifhe had attended a schoolelsewhere and beenmainstreamed, his educa-tional experience wouldlikely be very different.

“In a mainstreamschool, maybe I would bemocked by other kidsbecause I’m deaf,” hesaid. “They would insultme and I would feel bad.”

A picture of confi-dence, he’s now lookingforward to life after highschool and makingchoices about college andmajors. Two of his topchoices for higher learn-ing are Miami Universityand the Rochester In-stitute of Technology/National Technical In-stitute for the Deaf inRochester, New York.While he’s made no deci-sions about his major,areas of interest include ahelicopter pilot, scientist,engineer or mechanic.

The LOFT programserves children frominfancy through age 2and a preschool programis in place for ages 3-5.Tuition is paid by parentsfor children infants toage 2. The rate is compet-itive, Ernst said. As thechild moves into the pro-gram serving ages 3-5,depending on the disabil-ity, it’s possible to get thepublic school district inwhich they reside fi-nancially involved, hesaid. School districts arerequired by the state toidentify students withdisabilities by age 3.

To keep the programavailable and success

stories like Gross’ pos-sible, St. Rita raisesfunds. More than 40 per-cent of St. Rita studentsfall at or below the pover-ty level, and more than 90percent of St. Rita stu-dents need financial aid.

BRIEFLY

Hawaiian Terrace inMount Airy has longbeen one of Cincinnati’scrime hot spots.

Consider: While callsfor service in the areawere down in 2015 com-pared to 2014, nearly 43percent of all reportedcrimes occurred during

between 8 p.m. and 6a.m.

Last year Vice MayorDavid Mann answeredresidents’ cry for help.Mann led an initiative toinstall twelve newstreetlights and repaveportions of HawaiianTerrace. Police ChiefEliot Isaac met with res-idents, and hearing thesame concerns, workedwith District 5 Com-mander Bridgette Bar-dua to provide in-creased overtime visi-bility in the area.

The lights went onlast week.

The city’s Depart-ment of Transportationestimates the lightingcost roughly $50,000.But Mann said it wasworth it.

“These twelvestreetlights and theroad improvements area welcome addition to astreet where darknesshad too long fosteredcrime and made resi-dents feel unsafe leav-ing their homes,” Mannsaid.

Hah - remember last weekwhen I was harvesting greensfrom my window boxes? Well,

with the ther-mometer read-ing 6 degreesthis morning, Idon’t have to tellyou that I won’tbe harvestingany more greensfrom them.

Oh well, be-fore too long I’llbe thumbingthrough the seed

catalogs which arrive daily,thinking thoughts of spring.Yes, it’s a long way off, butSuper Bowl isn’t. I wanted toshare a couple of fun and yum-my recipes to make your SuperBowl party memorable.

We always have a big crowdat our house, and it’s a traditionfor me to make homemadeglazed donuts. That recipe,with photos of happy little souschefs, is on my Abouteating.com site.

Readers want to knowNatural and Dutch cocoa -

what’s the diff? Without get-ting too technical, the differ-ence is acid.

Natural cocoa powder: themore common one, is cocoathat does not have its acidstripped. It’s a light cocoa colorwith a bitter flavor.

Dutch processed/alkalized:is a darker color due to a potas-sium solution that neutralizesthe acidity. It has a mellower,less bitter flavor. How to sub-stitute in recipes: check outAbouteating.com

Guru in our backyard: Greg’s 2 ingredient buttermilkranch wings

I met Greg Grisanti, Frisch’s chef for research and development, at aveterans’ garden event last summer. We found we had many similar in-terests when it comes to food. We both like to garden and experiment withnatural foods.

Greg lives in Clermont county with his family and is a graduate of St.Xavier high. He went on to become a classically trained chef at Johnson &Wales University. Alumni include Tyler Florence and Emeril Lagasse, both ofwhom I’ve worked with, and I put Greg right up there with them, talentwise. He’s lots of fun to cook with, and humble, too. “I prefer to call myselfa good cook”, he said. His research knowledge shows in the recipes hedevelops and fine tunes for the restaurants. Like using real lard in their piesand making 80% of their items from scratch.

Greg was a guest on my cable show and he featured recipes madewith Frisch’s ingredients. I wanted party food that was easy and delish. Wewere both happy with these wings, which I’m now addicted to. I think you’llbe making them often, too. You’ll use 2 out of 3 of the wing parts. Here’smy slight adaptation.

3 dozen or so chicken wings, cut into 3’s (save small pointed wingjoint for stock)

16 oz. jar of Frisch’s buttermilk ranch dressingOptional add-ins: chipotle pepper sauce, ground cayenne, garlic

Preheat oven to 375.Place wings in a 2 gallon baggie. Pour in dressing, squeeze air out, and

seal. Gently massage bag to incorporate dressing with wings. Marinate forseveral hours in the refrigerator; overnight is best. Remove wings from bagand put in a colander to remove excess dressing. (Now I did not remove thedressing; I just poured the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet). Placewings on sprayed cookie sheet and bake 40 minutes or so, depending on thesize of the wings, until cooked through and golden brown.

Serve with Frisch’s blue cheese dressing as a dipping sauce along withcelery sticks if you like.

Baked jalapeno poppers

Perfect party food with a spicy bite. A perennial fave.

1 pound nice size jalapenos, halved and seeded

Filling:

8 oz. cream cheese1 cup shredded sharp cheddar1 cup shredded Jack cheese6 bacon strips, cooked crisp and crumbled1/2 teaspoon garlic powderSalt to tasteBreadcrumbs, regular or Panko

Preheat oven to 325. Blend everything but breadcrumbs together.Put about 2 tablespoons into each half and roll in crumbs. Place onsprayed baking pan and bake for 20 to 35 minutes. The longer you bakethem, the milder they become.

Jan. 13 questionWhat changes, if any,

would you make to the pri-mary system for choosingpresidential candidates?

“Not necessarily limitedto the primary system, rath-er our entire election sys-tem, I would make thewhole thing shorter. Myproposal would state thatthe ‘election cycle’ will startno more than three monthsprior to the election. Oneweek to register as a candi-date, one week to BS thepublic via media, two weeksto hold the primaries (all ofthem), two months to fur-ther state your case to thevoting public including onedebate per month, one dayoff and then the election isheld. One additional refine-ment to this incredibly prac-tical plan would be thatpolitical ads would be run onone special channel only,24/7. If people want to hearall the BS they can choose toturn on that channel forenlightenment.

“Oh, two more terrificrefinements that I know youwill love, they are beautiful:1) Term limits. Two termsand done, then go get a realjob like the rest of us. 2) Nopensions, no continued sala-ry for life, no special healthcare program other thanthose offered to commonfolks. It is called publicservice for a reason.”

M.J.F.

Jan. 6 questionWhat is the best way to

handle the Syrian refugeesituation?

“The United Statesshould not allow Syrianrefugees to enter the US atthis time. Almost everydaythere are criminal activitiesin the US and Europe in-volving Syrian refugees.Much of such activity hap-pening in Europe at thepresent time is not beingwidely reported.

“It is estimated that itcosts the FBI and Depart-ment of Homeland Security$60,000 - $70,000 to screeneach refugee and the Agen-cies state they are unable todo so sufficiently to be as-sured that the refugees arenot terrorist risks. It is alsoestimated that 90-plus per-cent of all recent refugeescoming to the US are onfood stamps and 70 percentreceived cash welfare andgovernment funded healthcare. The US can ill affordthe cost and terrorist threatbrought about by the refu-gee situation. Our nationaldebt is unsustainable. Thereare many problems in thecountry because of our dif-ficult fiscal situation thatare not being addressed,and our law enforcementagencies are overextendedbecause of terrorist investi-gations, of which refugeesare a significant part.

“Two major responsibil-ities of our elected poli-ticians are to provide for thesafety/security of the pop-ulace and to be responsiblestewards of our tax dollars.On Nov. 17, the Ohio Houseof Representatives over-whelmingly passed a resolu-tion that read in part: ‘RE-SOLVED, That we, the mem-

bers of the 131st GeneralAssembly of the State ofOhio urge the President ofthe United States to preventthe resettlement of Syrianrefugees into the State ofOhio as well as the UnitedStates of America.’ Thisresolution was sent to thePresident, the Secretary ofHomeland Security andother Federal Governmentofficials. It was a disap-pointment to learn thatState Rep. Tom Brinkman,who represents Ohio Dis-trict 27, which includesAnderson Township, votedagainst this resolution. Hewas the only Republicanrepresentative to do so.’

J.E.D.

“The United States musttake a leadership role tobring world powers togeth-er to establish safe zone(s)within the Syrian refugees’homeland providing a safehaven from enemies. In-volve the UN in policingthese safe zones to protectrefugees while not jeopar-dizing any American onAmerican soil. This processwould also make it easy forrefugees to reclaim theirhomeland when the crisisends.

“The U.S. must step upour leadership role in work-ing with all parties to find apolitical solution to the Syri-an War. It will require moralleaders, with the politicalwill, working from strengthto end this war. Politicsmust be removed from theprocess, e.g., the ‘politicalclass’ who do not have thepolitical will to find a realsolution. There is no placefor the ill informed andothers that have hiddenagendas, including the likesof our own current staterepresentative from Dis-trict 27, Mr. Tom Brinkman,who voted against a refer-endum (H.C.R. No. 31), de-signed to send a message toPresident Obama to keepSyrian refugees out of theUSA and Ohio.

“With the vast majorityof citizens being againstbringing Syrian refugees toAmerica, why does so manyof the political class keeppushing forward? On thesurface none of this seemsto makes sense, especiallyconsidering recent reportsof Syrian refugees, here andabroad, being arrested forsuspected terror activity orother charges such as rapeas in Germany.

Without doubt, this is ahumanitarian issue; howev-er is there something farmore sinister. What aboutthe money trail? Who is inline to gain from Syriansrefugees coming to Amer-ica?”

The difference in hardskills vs. soft skills can easilybe identified.

Hard skills are defined asspecific knowledge or abilitiesrequired for a certain position.Examples are facilitatingspreadsheets, speaking a for-eign language, and proficiencywith software applications.These skills are specialized,teachable and can be evaluat-ed and measured.

Soft skills are attributesand personality traits thataffect interpersonal inter-actions and include such char-acteristics as leadership, com-munication and decision-mak-ing skills. These are less quan-tifiable than hard skills andare more easily represented inan interview vs. a resume.These skills are identified associal skills which can helpyou in a wide variety of jobsand are transferable to otherjobs and industries.

When considering two can-didates with similar hardskills, the differentiating fac-tor in hiring could be weightedtoward soft skills. Improvingin the following areas willenhance your soft skills andincrease your chance of beinghired.

1. Communication skills:The proficiency to speak,write, and present informationin a logical format and explaintechnical concepts to non-techsavvy people. Toastmaster’sInternational is a great organi-

zation whichfocuses on allthree areas.

2. Interper-sonal skills:The capabilityto work inteams, relateto people, andmanage con-flict is a val-ued asset in

the workplace. This skill isrelevant to advancing yourcareer and the aptitude towork with an increasinglydiverse culture is even morecrucial.

3. Adaptability: The abilityto adapt to change and managemultiple tasks in today’s worldis a given. Technology driveschange and your capability toadjust to new technologies anddemands in the workforce canseparate you from others.

4. Research skills: Every-one can research with a com-puter at hand, but can youinterpret the information youfind, determine if it is valuableor not, and present it in a clearformat that solves problems?

5. Project managementskills: Organization, planningand effectively implementingprojects and tasks. This highlyprized skill is becoming com-mon for all employees and notjust those titled “project man-ager.”

6. Problem-solving skills:Using creativity, past experi-ence and available resources

to resolve issues saving timeand money. Be prepared toprovide several examples.

7. Strong work ethic: Takeinitiative, responsibility, andmanage yourself.

8. Emotional intelligence:The skills that apply to yoursocial awareness and self-management abilities. Defineseveral examples where youwere calm under fire and man-aged your emotions as well asthose of others in the heat ofthe moment. Emotional intelli-gence establishes you as aprofessional that can handle amultitude of assignments andresponsibilities.

9. Time management skills:Utilize Microsoft Outlook tomanage meetings, reminders,etc. Be self-managed so thatyou meet project deadlines ontime.

10. Be a team player: Mostprojects are accomplishedwith the help of others. Besure to praise others involvedin projects for their contribu-tions and you will be seen assomeone who recognizes theorganization’s goals beyondyour own participation.

I had the pleasure of attend-ing the Hamilton County Re-publican Party Executive Com-mittee meeting Jan. 7. At theend of the meeting, I was toldby someone that Joe Deters isnow my “enemy for life,” but Ididn’t start the fire, Mr. Deters

did.I used to be

a gun rightsactivist. I’mstill a verystrong SecondAmendmentsupporter andI own a gunshop in thegreater Cincin-nati area. I’vealways ad-mired Mr.

Deters for being a strong sup-porter of the Second Amend-ment as well. I remember hear-ing a story about a perp whorobbed a jewelry store andthen ran out and the owner ofthe shop shot the guy as he wasrunning away. The store ownerdidn’t get charged with acrime.

Mr. Deters was asked at apress conference how farsomeone can run, still get shot,and the shooter not be charged.He said, “In Hamilton County,pretty damn far.”

As a gun guy and someonewho carries a firearm on adaily basis to protect myselfand my family, I can respectthat.

Over the past year, however,Joe Deters has lost my respect.

I watched, cringing, duringthe press conference after the

indictment of Officer RayTensing. The pandering, politi-cal correctness and posturingwas unbearable. Some of thethings he said made my bloodboil. All this political theater toquell the threat of riots and tokeep the “Black Lives Matter”protesters at bay. Mr. Detersplayed judge, jury and execu-tioner and his words guaranteethat Tensing will never receivea fair trial in Hamilton County.It was a really sad thing to see.

Then I was watching TV oneday last fall and a commercialfor Responsible Ohio, the mari-juana amendment, comes onand who is endorsing a mea-sure that adds a monopoly tothe Ohio Constitution? Why it’snone other than Mr. Detersonce again. More respect lost.

How can someone who con-siders himself a conservativesupport a measure such asthis?

The final nail in the coffincame during the last few daysleading up to the Novemberelection. I live in SpringfieldTownship I decided to run fortownship trustee against 20-year incumbent Gwen McFar-

lin, a Democrat. I was the en-dorsed Republican candidate.Imagine my surprise when Isee a postcard in my mailboxfrom my opponent that in-cludes a picture of her withDeters, and a quote from himunder the picture saying tovote for my opponent Nov. 3.

So, back to the executivecommittee meeting. I took ahandout that outlined all thesethings, and gave one to each ofthe members of the committeeas they entered the room. Be-fore the endorsement vote, Imade a motion to have himremoved from the list of en-dorsed candidates. The motionwas seconded and about 10people voted with me.

If he doesn’t respect theendorsement process and sup-port the endorsed candidates,which is a requirement in theparty constitution, then hedoesn’t deserve to receive anendorsement .

Carlik Jones is listed at 5-feet-11on Aiken’s boys’ basket-ball roster.

His coach, Leon Ellison,says the Falcons senior mightbe all the way to 6 feet or may-be even 6-1. Jones himself saysit’s 6-0.

Regardless, Jones never isthe biggest player on the court,but he most likely is the smart-est, which is more than enoughto often make him the most im-posing player in the game.

Jones, last season’s Cincin-nati Metro Athletic Confer-ence and the Enquirer’s Divi-sion IV player of the year, ispoised to add to his accoladesthis season. He went into lastweek leading the CMAC inscoring with an average of 22.4points per game, third with anaverage of 5.5 assists per gameand fourth with an average of9.7 rebounds per game.

“He’s got one of the highestbasketball IQs I’ve ever seen,”said Ellison, who’s coachedJones in AAU competition forclose to 10 years. “It’s off thecharts. He’s smart. He playsthe game the right way. He’snot a selfish kid. He sees thegame really well. He plays athis own pace. Talking to him is

like talking to a coach.”Jones has led the Falcons to

records of 10-2 overall and 4-0in the CMAC. Aiken, the de-fending CMAC champ, is tiedwith Taft for first place afteran 86-72 win at Woodward onJan. 8 in which he scored 24points and set a career-highwith 12 assists. The Falconsand Senators are scheduled tomeet tonight.

Jones, who has scored atleast 16 points in every gamethis season and logged fivedouble-doubles and one triple-double, takes pride in his sharpcourt sense.

“My character, discipline,teamwork and leadershipskills have earned me a favor-able reputation with coachesand players across the coun-try,” he wrote in his personalstatement on ncsasports.org,which bills itself as an “Athlet-ic Recruiting” website. “I amknown for making my teambetter as a unit. My game styleis patient, but I can quickly ad-just to do what’s needed forsuccess.”

Jones’ savvy is part of whatmade him attractive to Rad-ford coach Mike Jones, who re-ceived a letter-of-intent fromthe senior in November.

“Carlik brings an excellentbasketball IQ, toughness andcompetitiveness to our team,”Jones was quoted as saying onthe program’s website. “Carlikdoes a good job running a teamand getting his teammates in-volved, and knows when to beaggressive and make plays for

himself, too.”Ellison points to the adjust-

ment Jones quickly made inone of Aiken’s two losses, toNashville (Tenn.) Christ Pres-byterian Academy in a holidaytournament at Bardstown,Kentucky, on Dec. 22.

“The team put two guys onCarlik, and on the floor, hechanged the offense,” Ellisonsaid.

Perhaps more remarkablethan Jones’ basketball IQ is hisability to rebound at his size,which to Ellison has beenyears in the making whileplaying on AAU teams that in-cluded Duke’s Luke Kennard,a Franklin High School gradu-ate, and Wilmington’s JarronCumberland, a University ofCincinnati recruit.

“He’s always had to playwith bigger guys,” Ellisonsaid. “He’s been around thoseguys.”

“I just sneak around andgrab as many as I can,” saidJones, who lives in Hartwelland transferred to Aiken fromPurcell Marian after his fresh-man year. “That and beingtough down there.”

Radford’s interest in hisgrades – off the court, not on –is what prompted Jones tochoose the Big South Confer-ence school located in Virginiaover Valparaiso and the Mid-American Conference teamshe and Ellison said also wereinterested.

“I felt like they were show-

ST. BERNARD – Apryl Pope’steam couldn’t believe it.

On Jan. 9, the scoreboard in-side Roger Bacon read 67-59when the clock expired and theSpartans were on the winningside of it, snapping a 52-gameconference losing streak.

The girls were eventually hitby the realization – “Hey guys,we’re beating Purcell (Marian);they were shocked because theyhad never done that,” Pope said.“It’s crazy … for the seniors itwas the first time since they’vebeen in high school that we won aconference game.”

Pope said after the win thatRoger Bacon athletic directorSteve Rossi quickly confirmedthat the last conference win wasDec. 6, 2010. Fittingly, its lastconference win was also overPurcell Marian.

The Spartans have alreadywon eight games this season (asof Jan. 14). In the five seasonspreceding this year, the Spar-tans won a total of 13 games.Pope said the difference, thisyear, is they’re expecting to winwhen they take the floor.

Perhaps more impressive,Roger Bacon runs out a youngsquad every night.

“We have a young, new team,”said Pope. “Our starting lineuphas all four grades. I think whatthey’ve done well is play togeth-er. I think they are expecting towin which is different, becausebefore it was like trying not tolose.

“We want to go our here andactually win. We got a couplewins and they actually started tobelieve.”

Leadership is essential on ev-ery team, but even more so on ayoung team. The only two sen-

iors on the roster, Ashton Lindn-er and Julia Kidd, both start inaddition to their leadershiproles. Lindner, a three-sport star(soccer, softball), averages 7.4points, a team-high 5.1 reboundsand 2.9 assists a night. Kidd aver-ages 10.3 points and 3.8 boards.

“They (Lindner, Kidd) havebeen here all four years, fromthe beginning,” said Pope. “It’simportant to have that leader-ship, someone for the other girlsto follow.”

Two youngsters have also“stepped right in,” said Pope, inreference to sophomore KayleeSunders and freshman JalynJackson. Sunders is leading theGreater Catholic League Co-edCentral with 5.8 assists to gowith 9.0 points and 3.7 steals pergame. Jackson leads the Spar-tans with 10.4 points per outing.Junior Aliyah Huff has been apresence down low, averaging7.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.2blocks.

“One thing I’m really stress-ing is consistency,” Pope said.“So we see spurts of greatnesson court and on film, so we haveit in us. When they want to dosomething, it’s game on, youcan’t stop them. Then that turnsoff and we turn it over fourtimes. If we can play our gameconsistently we can win.”

The Spartans also won theClark Lady Cougars HolidayTournament earlier this season.“They’d never been in a holidaytournament, let alone win one,”said Pope, who’s in her secondseason at Roger Bacon.

Roger Bacon can add to itswin total with home games com-ing up against McNicholas (Jan.27), Clark Montessori (Feb. 1)and Cincinnati Country Day(Feb. 6). The Spartans are on theroad at Badin (Jan. 30) and Pur-cell Marian (Feb. 3).

MONFORT HEIGHTS - In asport like basketball — popularfor its pace, athleticism, move-ment and even elegance — con-sistency is paramount. It onlyarrives with time. Few under-stand that more than longtimeLa Salle High School basketballcoach Dan Fleming.

In each of the last two sea-sons, Fleming’s teams havefound themselves victims of cir-cumstance. With the footballteam winning back-to-backstate championships, travers-ing a schedule into early De-cember, it meant the basketballteam was forced to try and findthat consistency with five guysstill wearing football pads.

It’s a good problem to have.It’s also something you won’thear Fleming, or any otherLancers for that matter, com-plain about.

“Patience isn’t one of mystrong suits,” said Fleming,whose team started the seasonwith wins in 10 of its first 12 out-ings. “We’ve literally only prac-ticed together for a week. Be-fore Christmas, barely anything(as a whole team). Since Jan. 4we’ve really had time to prac-tice together … I think we’reheaded in the right direction; Iwish we’d just hurry up and getthere a little quicker.”

La Salle, ranked No. 5 in TheEnquirer Division I coaches’poll, returned all five startersthis season from a district-run-ner up team that went 20-6 ayear ago. When the season’sfirst Associated Press state pollwas released Jan. 12, La Sallecame in at No. 13, behind localsMoeller (No. 4), Wilmington(No. 6) and Elder (No. 10).

“We’ve been able to pull outsome games,” said Fleming,who joined the 400-win club lastseason. “We’ve had some mo-ments where we’ve played real-ly well. We just haven’t had longstretches (playing at that level)… we have to put some meaning-ful games and minutes togetherquarter-by-quarter.”

At presstime, the Lancers’

only losses both came on theroad to Elder, 56-50, and in thechampionship of the Kingdomof the Sun holiday tournamentin Ocala, Fla. The latter waswithout junior guard CJ Flem-ing, a Bellarmine commit, who’sleading the Greater CatholicLeague South in scoring (19.4)for the second year in a row.

Coach Fleming said his son ishealthy, but if his word isn’tenough, CJ scored 82 points inthe four games following hisone-game absence. He’s alsoshooting at a ridiculous clip,making 55 percent from thefield, 50 percent from 3-pointand better than 86 percent fromthe foul line.

After Fleming, the Lancershave struggled with consisten-cy in the scoring department.Senior guard Jeremy Larkin isposting 10.4 points and juniorguard Tre Crigler adds 8.7points per game.

“We have a guy one nighthave a decent game, we have an-

other guy another night, then wecan’t find them again,” saidFleming. “I think our lack ofconsistency is our most frus-trating thing. We can’t be allover the board, where a guy has18 and then four. That’s the markof a good team and that’s wherewe need to get to.”

Fleming also hopes the con-sistency creeps into his defense,which he said has been good, notexceptional.

“As good of defensive play-ers as they’ve been as juniorsand sophomores, I thoughtthey’d be better,” said Fleming.

The good news is the Lancershave ample opportunities thismonth to find their rhythm. Af-ter Community Press printdeadlines, La Salle hosted St.Xavier (Jan. 15), then PurcellMarian (Jan. 16) before visitingOak Hills (Jan. 19). Then La Sallehas a four-game home standagainst Moeller (Jan. 22), Turpin(Jan. 26), Elder (Jan. 29) andWalnut Hills (Jan. 30).

Theyfinished fourth in their con-ference, which was enough toelevate them into the PSAC

Tournament and earn an invi-tation to the NCAA Division IIplayoffs.

Sandhas and the FightingScots again made school his-tory, winning the school’sfirst-ever NCAA playoffgame in a penalty kick thrillerover the University ofCharleston. In the secondNCAA playoff game, theFighting Scots matched upagainst Gannon University,who was nationally rankedNo. 1 during the regular sea-son. Gannon and Edinborosplit the two meetings prior.Sandhas and the FightingScots again prevailed with a2-1 overtime victory, sendingthem to the Sweet Sixteen.

The Sweet Sixteen had theFighting Scots matching upagainst East Stroudsburg.These two teams had split thetwo meetings prior, includinga loss to East Stroudsburg inthe finals of the PSAC Tourna-ment. The Sweet Sixteengame would mark the end of amagical season for Sandhasand her team as they fell 2-0.
