During a class change on aFriday at Loveland MiddleSchool, multiple studentsstopped into the office of a ded-icated and active member of theLoveland City Schools.

“Best money I ever spent,”School Resource Officer FredBarnes said as he poured moreJolly Ranchers into a dish on hisdesk.

Barnes was recognized as aMaster School Resource Offi-cer by the Ohio School ResourceOfficers Association. The asso-ciation recognizes school re-source officers for the length ofservice and accomplishments.Master SRO is the highest rank-ing the association gives.

“They are at a tough timehere because of their ages. So Ido a lot of work with them; bul-lying and generally just gettingalong with each other,” he said.

The students would say hi.Barnes would ask them howtheir days were going and howthey were feeling about thePARCC testing.

“I get students that will walkin here that under any other cir-cumstances they would neverhave a reason to have contact.They are the good kids and thisis their excuse and my excuse tosay hi,” Barnes said.

Barnes received the honor ofMaster SRO by serving as anschool resource officer formore than seven years, com-pleting a certain number oftraining hours and being a

member of the association. Superintendent Chad Hillik-

er said he wasn’t surprisedBarnes received the honor.

“His relationship with ourstudents, their families and ourstaff is essential to the LovelandCity School District. He goesabove and beyond every day,”Hilliker said.

Barnes has been with theLoveland Police Departmentfor 23 years and has been theschool resource officer for 13years. Barnes is the school re-source officer for the entire dis-trict, responsible for six build-ings and more than 4,000 stu-dents.

“I work with each and everybuilding, mostly with the princi-pal and the management staff,to help with security concernsthat they got or emergencyplanning. Anything to do withsafety,” he said.

Barnes also teaches classes.He said it starts in the lowergrades as general education.

“We do seat belt training,classes in stranger danger. Oc-casionally at Halloween, we willdo Halloween safety, propercostumes and crossing the road.Whatever any teacher wants, ifit is safety related they can callme,” he said.

For the older grades, heteaches about drugs and alco-hol, bullying, how to interactwith police, but also teachesConstitutional law to historyclasses and forensics to science

Short and sweet, fastand fun are not what youexpect to read about theopening of an award-win-ning musical about to takethe stage.

That is exactly whatthe director and castpromise for the familyfriendly production ofActing Up’s “LegallyBlonde Jr.” which opensMarch 20 and runsthrough March 22 at Ma-son Middle School Thea-ter.

Acting Up is a theatergroup for young perform-er’s ages 5-18 based in Ma-son. For 10 years morethan 1,300 children havecome from all around Cin-cinnati, Dayton, NorthernKentucky and Indiana to

display their theatricaltalents singing and danc-ing their way throughblockbuster musicals.Highlands High Schoolsophomore Savannah Sla-by has the lead role of ElleWoods in her fourth Act-ing Up production.

“It was the most magi-cal enlightening experi-ence I’ve ever had,” shesaid about coming to Ma-son for Acting Up. “Everycast I’ve worked with atActing Up is talented.From the very smallestensemble role to the verylargest role, everyoneplays an important part inthe show; makes the showwhat it is. Everyone is sogood and prepared.”

Good and prepared forthe natural brunette Slabyincluded dying her hairblonde for the lead role as

Elle. Reese Witherspoonplayed the girl whoseemed to have it all withgood looks, great boy-friend, stylish clothes andsorority president in thepopular movie version of“Legally Blonde.” Shechases her boyfriend toHarvard Law and learnsit’ll take more than hercharm to succeed. Facingunexpected challengesfrom professors and otherstudents, she tries toprove her worth and findsher true potential.

“I really dislike stereo-types,” Slaby said. “That’swhy I really enjoy thisshow. The idea of girl pow-er, breaking stereotypes,breaking boundaries, Ijust love this show.”

The cast includes sev-eral talented Lovelandkids in a variety of rolestoo. Cole Hankins leadsthe way as the stereotypi-cal creepy professor Call-ahan. Sarah Koopman,Claire Streit, KatherineAbel, Ellen Long and Mad-di O’Connell play rolesfrom junior partner, book-ish client, to sorority sis-ter, inmate and salon pa-tron.

The fun-loving Han-kins really transformshimself to play a mucholder and more seriousrole. Director Brent Pee-bles said Hankins does agood job with both actingand voice to be the oldercharacter on stage.

“Cole is fantastic,” Pee-bles said. “Callahan is sup-posed to be mid-40s or old-er. That’s a tricky thing todo and Cole really pulls itoff.”

Hankins was in theLoveland High school pro-duction of “LegallyBlonde” when he was afreshman, and five otherActing Up shows. He

thinks this one is especial-ly great. Kyle, the UPSguy, played by Sam Hoyeris one of the charactersthat stand out for him inthe show.

“He’s hilarious,” Han-kins said. “It’s going to bereally fun, really fast-paced and then it’s goingto end. It’s going to be afun time. It’s not going tobe long.”

Just a mention of SamHoyer as Kyle broughtimmediate laughter fromdirector Peebles. The castalso includes Paul Phillips

and Zachary Hoyer fromSycamore. Phillips playsElle’s boyfriend Warner.Hoyer is Emmett whostarts out as her nerdishtutor but ends up beingmore. Tess Hogan really“sells it” playing a meanantagonist Vivienne. Withmore than 70 cast mem-bers, Peebles has to keepit fast and fun.

“It’s really fun,” hesaid. “The music just getsin your head and doesn’tlet go. I love it. I think thisis a great show. Fast andfun.”

years since Helene Bren-nan dipped the first coneat the cinder block build-ing at 611 W. LovelandAve.

“We are the longeststanding owner rightnow,” Rick Morgan said.

It all started for Teresawhen her parents Marianand Jim Flint bought thebusiness from Polly andThomas Reagan in 1972.She and her sister Ritaworked there when theywere kids until the Flintssold it to Joan and PeterGlatte in 1986. Rick andTeresa went in with hersister Rita and brother-in-law Mike Jones to buy itback in 1993. The Mor-gans became sole ownerswhen they bought out theJoneses in 2001. This willbe 23 years for Rick andTeresa. It has been in theFlint family for 43 years.

“My parents had it 14years,” Teresa said. “It’show our kids grew up.Each year it gets moreand more nostalgic. I al-ways loved doing it as akid.”

All those years add upto a lot of ice cream, conesand baseball helmet sun-daes too. Based on aver-ages over the 60 years,Morgan’s figured they’vepumped 252,000 gallonsof soft-serve ice creaminto 2.52 million ice creamcones. Cincinnati Redsare the hottest sellingbaseball helmet sundaes.The hottest team of theseason usually sells sec-ond most every year.Overall, the Cubs are thesecond favorite.

“Because we’re alwaysout of Cubs helmets,”Morgan said.

They’re never out offun or ideas for new icecream treats. Morgan re-members concoctionsthat came and went as fastas they came like the“Puddle Jumper Sundae.”It was a rainy day specialthat flopped because theyhad to go out in the rain toput up the sign for it.Chocolate Chipper sun-daes came and went alongwith her dad’s Ducky Bar -like the DQ Dilly Bar -took too long to make justthree at a time.

“These were all earlyon,” she said. “As they gotsmarter, more logical,

things like this went out.Nowadays, the rule ofthumb is if you haven’tworked the window for aseason, you don’t get togive ideas.”

This year the new con-coction is the “Just EyesSundae” an ice cream sun-dae with eyes all over it.Opening day also re-vealed improvements in-side and out. The old walk-in freezer was removedopening up a whole newworkstation to betterserve the drive-thru. Aback wall was removedand a new walk-in freezer,double the size of the oldone, was added.

Outside improvementsare more visible with newcement driveway apronsand concrete picnic tablepads which started lastseason. The parking lothas been repaved, there’sa newly marked drive-thru lane, expandedmarked parking area onthe side and in back, newfencing, and the new sign.It has been a step-by-stepprocess acquiring all theproperty surrounding theoriginal site. Plans are inplace for landscaping too.

classes. “Here just recently, we

did a class in history. Theywere learning about EliWhitney and interchange-able firearm parts be-cause he engineered that.So, I brought a couple ofweapons and demonstrat-ed switching parts,” hesaid.

He added despite all hedoes it is impossible toerase all crime from the

schools. “In every school, no

matter where you go,there is going to be crime.There is going to bethefts, fights, domestic vi-olence, disputes in custo-dy and those are thethings that I handle,” hesaid.

“It is readily apparentfrom all of the letters andappreciation and com-mendations that OfficerBarnes is a huge asset tothe community. He is tru-ly deserving of this recog-nition for his dedication tothe children and staff of

the Loveland School Dis-trict,” Loveland PoliceChief Tim Sabranskysaid, in a news releasefrom the city.

Barnes said when he isin his office at the middleschool, he always keepshis door open so studentsknow they can come in forany reason, even if it isjust a Jolly Rancher.

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.

1 tablespoon rapid rise yeast plus a couple pinches sugar2-1/4 cups warm water (110-115 degrees)1/3 cup sugar1/3 shortening1/4 cup powdered nondairy creamer2-1/4 teaspoons salt5-6 cups bread flour

Preheat oven to 350. Dissolve yeast and pinches of sugarin warm water. In a mixing bowl, add sugar, shortening, cream-er, salt and 5 cups flour. Add yeast and mix well on low speed.Turn to medium and beat until smooth. Add more flour ifnecessary to make a soft, but sticky dough. Either knead it for6-8 minutes by machine or by hand. If doing by hand, turn outon floured surface. Knead until smooth, like a baby’s bottom.Place in bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coattop. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punchdown and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into18-24 pieces. Shape each piece into a roll. Place 2” apart onsprayed baking sheets. Cover and let rise until doubled, 30-45minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.

Fruited chicken salad from Lazarus

I have a file of department store restaurant recipes. Ashappens occasionally, someone stopped me at the grocery andasked if I had a recipe for this particular one. Anyway, here’sthe recipe with my side notes, from the Columbus store, Ibelieve.

SaladMix together:

4 cups cooked chicken, cubed or chunked up8 oz. diced dates1 cup diced pineapple -- drained1 cup diced celery1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted if you want

DressingWhisk together:

2 cups Miracle Whip salad dressing1 teaspoon sugar1/4 cup evaporated milk2 tablespoons lemon juiceJuice from pineapple -- as needed

Pour dressing over salad and toss gently. This would benice served atop a lettuce leaf.

THANKS TO RITA HEIKENFELD

A publication of

March 11 questionA bill to allow cities to create

open-container districts muchlike those in New Orleans or Mem-phis, Tennessee, appears likely topass the Ohio Legislature thisyear, and Cincinnati officials hopethe bill becomes law by OpeningDay, April 6. Is this a good idea ora bad 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 owners ofestablishments needing to ba-sically hose down all aroundtheir places each morning toeliminate the odor.

“I think right now, there isenough opportunity to drink,

with enough bars, in closeenough proximity that a personcan go from one bar to the nextwithout having to bring theiralcohol with them.

“I’m not against drinking,but I don’t think anyone thathas been down to any sportingevent or into the OTR VineStreet areas feel that notenough opportunities to drink

are occurring.’C.S.

“This one surprised me a bit.Didn’t know we didn’t alreadyallow open containers in manyparts of Cincinnati. Would notwant two of my admired placesto get in trouble. Lines of peo-ple waiting in the street for a ta-ble, while enjoying their ‘adult

beverages’ at one of them, nev-er seem to have any conflicts.

“The logic of letting peoplewalk outside at another, toavoid annoying guests andbreaking the law by smokinginside, makes sense to me. I’m arecovering nicotine addict, em-barrassed by how 30 years agoI must have really annoyed somany with my habit. As I stoodon a street corner in Key West,talking to a uniformed policeofficer, while holding a large‘adult beverage’ I inquiredabout the ‘street law’ there. Hisreply was exactly how I believeit should be. ‘Are you causingany trouble? Didn’t think so.Guess there is no problem.’”

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’ setupand 16-ounce plastic bottles aresold, one per customer for $5.The open container is con-trolled within that area. I amnot sure the benefit of expand-ing this beyond certain specialReds games such as the All Stargame and playoffs. If the localbars are in favor then try it onan experimental basis. You cancount on folks sneaking theirown alcohol into the area. GoFigure!”

States around Ohio(e.g., Indiana, Michi-gan and Iowa) havepassed right-to-worklaws, but not our state.

In late 2014, Gallupasked 1032 voters“... right-to-work …laws … say each work-er has a right to holdhis job in a company ...whether he joins aunion or not ... if asked to voteon such a law ... (would) ... youvote for or against it?

A large majority of the re-spondents, 71 percent, saidthey would vote “for it” (in-cluding 64 percent of Demo-crats, 74 percent of Repub-licans and 77 percent of in-dependents).

In the Ohio Statehouse,Republicans control the legis-lature and we have a Repub-lican governor. Gov. John Kas-ich can’t run again so he has“nothing to lose.”

Enacting right-to-work lawsin Ohio should be like shootingfish in a barrel and a Demo-crat/union-lead referendum tooverturn would surely fail.

Likewise, when will theOhio GOP act on abolishing theCommon Core curriculum inour schools? Hard to see thevalue of electing Republicansto public office in Ohio if they

won’t take on the bigissues. What are youwaiting for, Ohio Repub-licans?

Much worse is theGOP’s failure to act atthe federal level.

After House SpeakerJohn Boehner and Sen-ate Leader MitchMcConnell folded likecheap suits and surren-

dered on President Obama’sexecutive amnesty last week,former Sen. Jim DeMint wrote,“… if the GOP won’t fight onthis issue when will theyfight?” Good question!

Four of Ohio’s 16 RepublicanU.S. representatives, includingBoehner, voted for the “clean”Homeland Security budgetthat funds the president’s ille-gal executive amnesty. OtherOhio Republican representa-tives voting “aye” were: MikeTurner, Pat Tiberi and SteveStivers. Happily, and for therecord, our area congressmen,Steve Chabot and Brad West-rup voted “nay.”

The amnesty fight seemedlike de’ja vu all over again.Recall, last December, theGOP House waved the whiteflag and passed the “Cromni-bus” bill funding Obamacarefor fiscal 2015. The Democratsin the Senate, and President

Obama joyfully agreed! Speak-er Boehner and the HouseRepublicans had refused tofight again.

Are the elected Republicansover-matched (being outwit-ted)? Are they timid (afraid tofight)? Or are they deceivers(conservatives in name only)who will not “walk the talk?”

Do Boehner, McConnell, andthe GOP in Congress reallysupport conservative causeslike they claim at electiontime? Are they fighting forConstitution rule, conservativeprinciples, and for the sep-aration of powers – or not?

Like many Ohio conserva-tives, I contributed to the 2014Senate campaigns in otherstates. e.g.,like Cory Gardner(Colorado) and Mike Rounds(South Dakota) to help the GOPwin control of the US Senate.Well, guess what? Both of themvoted for executive amnestytoo.

In my opinion, it’s hard toshow much of a return on in-vestment when voting GOP.

Bernie Daniel has lived for 35 yearsin Symmes Township and holds adoctorate, awarded in another cen-tury, from Ohio State University. Heis a retired environmental researchscientist and tries to play the man-dolin whenever he can.

Republicans – no return on investment?

This is a personalexercise. The idea isto evaluate ourselvesbefore we criticizeothers. It is an exer-cise I used whenteaching ethics.

We are in a periodof very questionableethics. There arethings we can changeand things that, hope-fully, time will im-prove. There is no doubt thatthe world is in a very danger-ous situation. I don’t mean tobe overly fearful, but manysituations seem to repeat thishistory before great wars ornational calamities.

History also indicates thatproper actions could avoidthese disasters. It could be thatour personal values couldmake a difference. If that is so,it would be important for themajority of people to examinetheir personal values and ad-just.

Perhaps our biggest prob-lem is the wide disagreementbetween political parties. Thisis fed to a large extent by ourstubborn political values. Poli-ticians have always protectedthe political donors. The cus-tomary devaluation of moneyhas been a factor leading tomany different miseries like

genocide, war, and dic-tatorships. If politicianscan be “bought” whatabout the general pub-lic?

Can we be bought?Well, we all have a price.

We all face timeswhen we are jealous ofsomeone who has muchmore than us. Just thinkabout what you might doto acquire more money

so that you could socialize inthat crowd. Would it be worthit? What might be enoughmoney to make you happyregardless of how you got it?The good news is most of ushave had these thoughts, butwere of enough good characterto retain our morality.

That is why we do this exer-cise. It makes us aware thatothers may not have the valueswe cherish and to be watchfulof those who may fail our mo-rality test. There is great satis-faction in our morality.

“I hope I shall possess firm-ness and virtue enough tomaintain what I consider themost enviable of all titles, thecharacter of an honest man.” Avalid quote from GeorgeWashington.

LOVELAND — When TaylarHayden of Loveland HighSchool and David Schneider ofMoeller High School go on adate, it’s usually the standardfare of dinner and a movie, or aday in the park.

Sometimes, they go bowling.That’s when it gets interest-

ing.Two years ago, they met at a

bowling function between theirschools at Crossgate Lanes. Forthe last 16 months or so, they’vebeen rolling through strikes,spares and life’s open frames.

At Moeller, the Crusadersstruggled through a 1-17 Great-er Catholic League-South sea-son and were 5-19 overall.Schneider was second on theteam in average at 192 and 17thin the league, but was the brightspot of the Division I districttournament in Beavercreekwith a 665 three-game series.The junior became the top indi-vidual qualifier for the statetournament.

The following day, Haydenrolled a 625 three-games seriesat Beaver-Vu Lanes to qualifyfor the state tournament in herjunior year.

“She listened to my change inlines,” Loveland coach BradWalker said. “I told her that sheneeded to string strikes if shewanted to advance. She took achance and her composure wasgreat.”

Loveland’s girls finishedthird in the Eastern CincinnatiConference with Hayden hav-ing the third-best average at186. Like her boyfriend, she de-livered in crunch time and wasable to take her game to WayneWebb’s Columbus Bowl.

Their periodic practice ses-sions paid off. “We’re kind ofabout the same,” Hayden said.“We push each other and com-pete against each other. I thinkit’s helped us throughout theseason.”

Added Schneider, “We reallygive each other a hard time ifwe mess up.”

Hayden started bowling inthe sixth grade and has gradual-

ly become more serious. In thisseason’s ECC/SWOC Classic shehad a monstrous 746 three-game series of 255, 267 and 224.

“I try to stay relaxed upthere.” Hayden said. “It’s main-ly a mental game. You have tostay focused and calm. Youhave to know when you go upthere it’s a new ball. Roll it againand stay calm.”

Both have promising seniorseasons ahead and would like tobowl in college.

OnMarch 13, in the girls tour-nament, Hayden rolled gamesof 172, 169 and 137 to finish 59th

with a 478. All three games werewell below her average, but asbowlers know, all lanes are notcreated equal.

The following day, Haydenstayed to watch Schneider inthe boys tournament. Likewise,Schneider rolled three gamesthat were below his average,with a 181, 171 and 149 for a 501series.

The upside for the pair is thebig tournament experience andanother year of bowling “busi-ness” dates as they seek a re-turn as seniors.

Loveland, Moeller bowlersmake it a date in ColumbusBy Scott Springersspringer@communitypress.com

Moeller junior David Schneider and Loveland junior Taylar Hayden havebeen dating for over a year. Both advanced to the Division I state bowlingtournament in Columbus.

DAYTON — Three monthsafter losing to WilmingtonHigh School by 15, the MoellerCrusaders basketball teammet up with the Hurricaneagain in a Division I district fi-nal at the University of DaytonArena.

At 17-8, coach Carl Kremerfound himself in the very un-usual situation of being a post-season underdog against the24-1 Hurricane.

Wilmington, featuring sen-ior Jaevin Cumberland and ju-nior Jarron Cumberland, tookthe first quarter lead 12-11.However, the Moeller defenseshut them down in the secondquarter, holding them to justone basket as the Crusadersled 19-14 at the break.

“We have incredibly goodassistant coaches,” Kremersaid. “People have a toughtime getting easy looks off ofus.”

The third stanza saw Wil-mington break out of theirscoring slump to tie Moeller at27, but Jaevin Cumberland didpick up his fourth foul, limit-ing his involvement until thefinal frame.

The pace picked up in thefourth quarter with Moellerjunior Trey McBride using hisunique leaping ability for akey tip dunk and a put-backthat gave Moeller a lead theHurricane could never over-come. Jarron Cumberland didscore with :27 to go to get with-in a basket, but Nate George-ton added a free throw late tomake for the 46-43 final in fa-vor of the Crusaders.

“We really got hit in themouth in the third quarter,”Kremer said. “Nate George-ton and Riley Voss really madesome incredible experiencedplayer plays for us.”

Georgeton was able to drib-ble around and make it to thecharity stripe where he madeseven of eight on the night.Voss was part of the defensiveeffort that limited Wilmingtonto just 27 percent shooting.

“They certainly didn’tshoot it as well as they did attheir place,” Kremer observ-

ed.Trey McBride led Moeller

with 14 points and 12 rebounds,while Jarron Cumberland had23 points and 10 boards for Wil-mington. McBride’s sky-walk-ing tip-dunk midway throughthe fourth quarter was the keymomentum shifter for theCrusaders. The 6-footMcBride soared over players5 inches taller.

“He jumps like an Olympichigh jumper,” Kremer said.“He’s just a phenomenal ath-lete. What makes him great ishe is unpredictable. Treywants to win and he leaves itall out on the floor.”

The Crusaders move to theregional semifinal at CintasCenter on Wednesday againstSpringfield, who defeated LaSalle 54-41. Moeller also previ-ously lost to Springfield, 74-72in overtime Jan. 3.

“The one thing at Moeller isyou don’t get the opportunityto play as the underdog veryoften,” Kremer said.

The Crusaders have gonefrom having five new startersand last year’s center, NateFowler, out for the season todistrict champions. When theytake the floor at Xavier March18, they’ll be two wins awayfrom a state tournament ap-pearance.

Cincinnati HillsChristian Academydropped out of the flockof teams still remainingin the Division III boys’basketball playoffs asNo. 1-seeded Chami-nade-Julienne edgedpast them with a 61-56victory March 10 at Uni-versity of Dayton Arenain a district title game.

CHCA trailed by asmany as 12 points in thesecond half, but foughtits way back to make itclose down the stretch.

“That’s what we’vetalked about all season;just keep fighting,”CHCA coach AndyKeimer said. “That’s anincredible team overthere that made just acouple more plays thanwe did. I am extremelyproud of our guys for be-ing here and expecting tocome here and not justcompete, but win a dis-trict championship.”

Blake Southerland ledCHCA with 16 points.Will Drosos added 15.

Perimeter shootinghelped CHCA keep thegame close in the firsthalf. As a team, CHCAshot 4-for-9 with three ofthose coming fromSoutherland.

CHCA didn’t havemany options other thanto go guard-heavy. Ju-nior center Prince Sam-mons, who had been adouble-double threat ev-ery game down thestretch, picked up twoquick fouls and playedjust five minutes in thefirst half. His primarybackup, Kesean Gamblealso struggled with fouls.

CJ took advantage ofSammons’ absence, get-ting deep into the paintand to the free throwline. The Eagles convert-ed 11 of 16 free throws inthe first half alone.

“It really hurt ourability to guard No. 13(Myo Baxter-Bell) for

them,” Keimer said. “Wehad to be perfect defen-sively or he was going toget some good looks.That’s part of the game …I feel bad for Prince thathe didn’t get to experi-ence this game. He’llhave to learn from it andcome back next year.”

Sammons continuedto struggle as he openedthe third quarter with aturnover and his thirdfoul. He eventuallyfouled out and saw 10minutes of action.

Things continued togo against CHCA in thesecond half.

After a pair of freethrows from CJ’s AlanVest, the Eagles got a lay-up from Baxter Bell andKeimer was whistled fora technical foul for beingout of the coach’s box onthe sideline during theplay.

Vest converted bothfree throws to put his

team up 10, the largestlead of the game to thatpoint.

However, the Eaglesdug in and cut the deficitto just six points goinginto the fourth quarter.

The two teams tradedbaskets for much of thefinal quarter. Souther-land and Drosos madekey 3-pointers down thestretch.

After some misses atthe line by CJ, CHCAonly trailed by three withjust 20 seconds left onthe clock.

CJ eventually con-verted a pair of freethrows to salt the gameaway.

“We just couldn’tmake that one play,”Keimer said. “I talked tothe underclassmen aboutif their goals was to justbe here or to be cuttingdown the nets. What wehave coming back … itcould be a great year.”
