COLLECTION TIME

Ron and Ruth Evers, theGreen Township couple whodied in a fire Friday evening,were no strangers to heart-break.

Their 3-year-old grandsonJason was kidnapped and killedin 1982.

Adrian Williams, then 17,was convicted of kidnappingand involuntary manslaughterand sentenced to 14 to 50 years,according to Enquirer archives.

Amy Evers, then 6, was withher brother when he was kid-napped on Father's Day of thatyear. She told the Enquirer in2000 that she barely remem-bered the day of the kidnappingat a Springfield Township park.

In 1999, she met with Wil-liams at Ross Correctional In-stitution and said she saw no re-morse in his eyes.

"He talked to me about hisfamily and how he doesn't get tosee them," she said at the time."But he doesn't understand thatI'm never going to get to see mybrother again because he tookhim away. I have two childrennow and they'll never get tomeet their uncle."

Williams is up for parole andwill face a hearing in April. TheEvers have started a petition tokeep Williams in prison for theremainder of his sentence, an-other 17 years.

On Friday, Green Townshipemergency officials respondedto 5774 Jessup Road at about

8:50 p.m. for a structure fire. Apolice officer was the first to ar-rive at the scene. The house wasalready engulfed, and hecouldn't go in, said Lt. Mike Nie,a spokesperson for the GreenTownship Fire Department.Firefighters arrived a few mo-ments later andcouldn't enterthe home because it was start-ing to collapse, Nie said

Firefighters put out most ofthe fire by 11:30 p.m., and it wasfully extinguished by midnight,Nie said.

Emergency crews found thefirst victim Friday night. Crewshad to use a track hoe to clearout the house before they foundthe second victim early Satur-day afternoon.

Ruth Evers loved to haveparties, and there was always ahuge celebration for the 4th ofJuly, said Rich Evers, the cou-ple's son.

Ron was a man of few wordswho loved to watch TV, whetherit was musicals, ice skating orsomething else, Rich said.

Ron, 87, and Ruth, 88, hadseven children. They wouldhave celebrated their 67th wed-ding anniversary on Jan. 31,Rich said.

Couple killed in fire hadfaced tragedy before

Colerain Township’s KrogerMarketplace project onSpringdale Road cleared a bighurdle, as Northwest schoolboard members approved a taxincrement finance plan.

The board approved a 20-year, up to $4 million agree-ment for infrastructure im-provements that will make a135,000-square-foot KrogerMarketplace with a Krogerfuel center possible, officialssaid. Superintendent Andrew

Jackson said the school districtwill continue to receive the tax-es now generated by the prop-erty, $109,330 annually.

Once the TIF expires, as-suming the assessed value in-creases as estimated, the dis-trict will receive an additional$164,706 in taxes annually fromthe property.

Kroger plans a 135,000-square-foot Kroger Market-place with a fuel center on theproperty where the old Mc-Donald’s Restaurant and otherbusinesses are located.

The property is home to a

Fifth Third Bank and a strip ofretail stores across the rear ofthe site. The bank and the busi-nesses would be eliminated bythe grocery store.

The plan would also take anumber of homes on Yellow-stone Drive east of FlattopDrive and close a portion ofYellowstone Drive behind theJ.D. Byrider and the Wal-green’s. Officials said Krogerhas been in negotiations withthe property owners and hascome to terms on the necessary

properties.Trustee Jeff Ritter told

the school board that thetownship is hoping this isthe first of many opportu-nities that will partnertownship and school dis-trict officials.

Economic develop-ment director Frank Bir-kenhauer agreed, sayingit’s an important develop-ment for Colerain Town-ship that would not havebeen possible without theschool district’s approval.

“I have not seen a pro-ject such as the KrogerMarketplace so widelyanticipated in our commu-nity for some time,” hesaid. “The Marketplace isa draw for the young, old,single and families andwill be a great addition toColerain Township. I amvery pleased the North-west Local School Districtapproved a partnershipwith Colerain TownshipTrustees to bring this gemto our community.”

The Kroger project re-quires a zone change to“PD-B” and the tax incre-ment financing arrange-ment to help pay for nec-essary infrastructure im-

provements. Trustees ap-proved the zone changeJan. 13,

The preliminary devel-opment plan has been ap-proved by the HamiltonCounty Regional PlanningCommission and the Cole-rain Township ZoningCommission with somerecommendations, andthe Colerain TownshipBoard of Trustees had apublic hearing on the planJan. 13. A number ofneighbors of the proposedproject shared concernsat the hearing, includingthe height of a wall sepa-rating the developmentfrom their property andconcerns about lights anddeliveries at the new storeonce it’s operational. Theboard approved the pre-liminary plan with condi-tions 3-0.

Colerain Township Di-

rector of Planning andZoning Geoff Milz saysstaff recommends the ap-proval of the project’s fi-nal development planwith a number of condi-tions and variances. TheColerain Township Zon-ing Commission will beasked to approve that fi-nal development plan inFebruary.

The conditions includeimproving the street-scape with the addition oftrees and shrubs as wellas a landscaped median.The conditions addressthe size and types of treesand ornamental grasses.The conditions also ad-dress storm water deten-tion screening, theheights of light fixtures.

The conditions also ad-dress the facade and ap-pearance of the project,including the use of stone,

screening mechanicalequipment, and signage.

The preliminary planconditions from trusteesincluded a 12-foot wallseparating the Market-place from adjacentneighbors, and that anyfuture commercial devel-opments to the west willbe allowed cross trafficeasements onto the prop-erty. Kroger representa-tives asked that they be al-lowed to have input intowhere that access wouldbe located.

The Colerain TownshipZoning Commission willhave a hearing for the fi-nal development plan forthe Marketplace at itsnext meeting at 7 p.m.Tuesday, Feb. 17, at thetownship administrativecomplex, 4200 SpringdaleRoad.

A surprise documentcame in the mail. It wasfrom the Ohio Senatehonoring me “for exem-plary achievement inyour community andinspiration to individualsto excel in numerous

areas ofendeavor.”

Well, norecog-nition isearned byoneself.You, myreaders,share inthis awardsince thiscolumntruly is a

community endeavor andthe sharing of recipes,threads of wisdom andstories of family, foodand fun is all part of aweekly “visit” that wehave together.

Whether your teamfor the Super Bowl isSeattle or New England,you’ll need some heartyfixins’ to keep energy upduring the game. Hereare a couple of our fam-ily’s favorites.

Hanky pankiesI love the fact that this

recipe is being embracedby a younger generationof fans. Simple, comfortfoods like this are theones that disappear fastwhen we’re entertaining.I usually double this andfreeze some. Here’s mylatest version

1/2 pound groundsirloin

1/2 pound hot sau-sage (you can use reg-ular for a mild version)

Few dashes Worces-

tershire1 pound cubed Vel-

veeta1/2 teaspoon dried

oreganoGarlic powder to

tasteParty rye roundsCook the beef and

sausage. I use a potatomasher to break the meatup, then stir in rest ofingredients and cookuntil cheese melts. Serveon party rye or in hol-lowed out rye round. Youcan refrigerate this mix-ture and run the roundsunder the broiler to re-heat, or reheat mixture inmicrowave.

Chicken chiliThe ancho chili pow-

der is simply grounddried poblanos. The lasttime I made this, I usedboneless chicken thighsand breasts. You’ll need atotal of about 4 cups(which is what you’ll get,more or less from anaverage deli chicken). Ipoached them in broth.Also I had to add morespices to boost the flavor.Chili is a personal thing. Ilearned that when I was ajudge for a chili cook-off.I like to make this a dayahead. When I rewarm it,I usually add morespices, etc. Adapted froma recipe shared by CathyH., a Madeira reader.

1 rotisserie chicken,skin removed and meatshredded coarsely

1 can, 15 oz. Cannelli-ni beans, drained

1 can, 15 oz. GreatNorthern beans,drained

Olive oil1-2 jalapeno peppers,

minced1 large bell pepper or

2 poblanos, chopped - Ilike poblanos

2 generous cups on-ion, chopped or to taste

1 generous table-spoon garlic, minced orto taste

1 teaspoon groundcoriander

1-1/2 teaspoons an-cho chili powder

1 tablespoon cumin1 quart chicken brothCouple cups frozen

corn, thawed - optSalt and pepperJuice of 2 limes plus

extra for garnishAlso for garnish: torn

cilantro leaves, sourcream, chopped toma-toes, crushed tortillachips

Mash half the beanswith a potato masher.Film pot with oil andsauté peppers, onion andgarlic just until onionsare a little soft. Addspices and cook for aminute or so until yousmell their flavor. Pour inbroth, bring to a boil andlower to a simmer. Addbeans and corn and sim-mer 30 minutes or so.

Stir in chicken until heat-ed through. Add limejuice to taste. Serve withgarnishes.

Rita’s Italianseasoning

Savory is herb of theyear and one that’s un-derused. It has an aro-matic peppery flavor,good in bean dishes (Ger-mans call it the beanherb) since it helps dispelgas. This recipe containsno salt.

Mix together:3 tablespoons dried

basil

3 tablespoons driedoregano

1 teaspoon driedthyme

1 teaspoon driedrosemary, crushed

2 tablespoons driedparsley

1 teaspoon driedsavory

Levy is a tax reductionVoters in the Northwest Lo-

cal School District are going tosee something that I for one,have never seen before; a taxreduction.

On May 5, voters will havethe chance to vote for a 4.33-millNorthwest operating levy/bondissue, replacing the current4.52-mill emergency levy thatwas approved five years ago.

If approved, Northwest willhave the funding in place to re-place five of our most outdatedelementary schools, with threebrand new, state of the art K-5elementary schools. Additional-ly, all other schools in the dis-trict will be renovated and up-dated.

Thanks to years of financialresponsibility, low bond inter-est rates, and the Board of Edu-cation being good stewards oftaxpayer money, this is possi-ble, and this is for real.

Although the savings is .19mills, or enough to take yourfamily out to dinner, when wasthe last time anybody ever sawtheir real estate tax bill godown?

The May 5 NorthwestSchools Tax Issue is truly a win-ner for the entire community. Iencourage all voters to pleasesupport Northwest Schools witha yes vote!

Jan. 21 questionThe city of Cincinnati released

a report earlier this month whichdetailed a decrease in crimewithin the city. Do you feel safer,or safer, in the city than you havein the past? Why or why not?

Jan. 14 questionSome people have criticized

recent school closings due to coldweather. What do you thinkabout the practice of cancelingclasses when the mercury dips?

“My biggest issue with theclosing or delay of schoolswhen the temperatures are lowis that schools are adapting tostudents habits as opposed tostudents adapting to the situa-tion.

“When I look around at thekids walking or standing wait-ing for buses it appears thatmany of them are not dressedfor the weather. No wintercoats, fall type, sweatshirt hoo-dies, no hats or gloves.

“When I was a kid, growingup in Northern Ohio (walking toschool, up hill both ways) wouldwalk or wait for the bus in awinter coat, with gloves and ahat. It certainly wasn’t great,but the clothing made it bear-able and safe.

“So it may be a matter of stu-dents realizing that when it iscold, you dress up like it is coldoutside. This may allow thetemperature which causesschool closings or delays tohappen at a lower temperature,to the point where even with ap-propriate winter clothing itcould still be dangerous.

“As a final note, my kidsdon’t dress appropriately andthey both have winter coats. Itry and what I repeatedly tellmy son is “Even the toughestguys in my high school ownedwinter coats, hats and glovesand they wore them when itwas winter.” He just nods fromhis hoodie, grabs his lunch withno gloves and heads out into thecold, cold weather.”

C.S.

“I wonder if those who areobjecting to the school closingsdue to the cold weather areaware of the fact that the schoolbuses are diesel engines whichdo not work well in extremelycold temperatures. Not onlyare the children spared thewaiting in sub zero wind chills,but they are also spared wait-ing in a bus with no heat when itbreaks down and a tow truck isrequired.

“The schools could remainopen and require parents tobring the children one car at atime. Just imagine that trafficjam!”

D.O’C.

“A most important value ourschools should teach is respon-sibility both to community andfamily. That of course meansthe schools should also be re-sponsible. Sadly the schoolsfailed that cold day.

“Rumpke picked up thetrash and recycles. The mailwas delivered and on time. Thefast food shops were open andoperating normally. In fact Idid not observe a single busi-ness that was closed that daydue to low temperatures andmy obligations took methrough three Ohio counties.Only the schools were closed.School administrators yourgrade is F.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONSWhat do you think about Presi-dent Obama's proposal to payfor two years of communitycollege, effectively expandingschool to K-14 by taxing 529college savings plans?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

“Let’s cut all of those publicschool positions that are un-needed,” is an unqualifiedrequest by some members ofthe public.

They believe such actionwill save districts lots of mon-ey as well as lower the taxbills for a district’s residents.

To some residents this ideamight have some superficialcost reduction merit, yet itfails to confront the thoughtof eliminating all the responsi-bilities connected with thosepositions that are axed.

Once the Ohio state boardof education repeals the fiveof eight rule standard, schoolswill no longer be required toprovide a school nurse forevery one thousand students.Although the savings are min-imal considering the fullscope of an annual budget,some boards of education willchoose to direct those fundsfor other priorities at theexpense of neglecting thehealth services only a schoolnurse can deliver.

All elementary schoolsmust have some kind of carefacility for the students theyserve.

Working as the school’sprimary health care provider,the nurse is responsible formaking sure this facility hasall the minimal medical equip-ment, furniture, and emergen-cy supplies needed by theschool’s students.

When children become ill

or injured atschool, theyneed a caregiver for med-ical attentionemotionalsupport. Moreoften than notthat person isthe schoolnurse. Duringthe course of a

single day, the nurse mightsee every contagious diseasespreading through the schoolin addition to the normal traf-fic of children with cuts,bruises, and more seriousinjuries.

In short the school’s healthcenter is its miniature emer-gency room.

A major role of a schoolnurse involves the organiza-tion and dispensation of medi-cations. In a typical elemen-tary school with a studentpopulation of five hundredstudents at least 15 percent, or75 children, will need to takemedication each day. By lawthe meds must be stored in asecure facility and adminis-tered by a designated staffmember.

Each school year nursessearch students’ records toidentify health issues andcompliance with state immu-nization laws. They collab-orate with classroom teachersto make sure students with ongoing health problems receivethe daily care and treatment

their condition may demand.In some cases this involvesperiodic injections as well asproviding special physicalaccommodations within theclassroom.

Kindergarten and pre-school health screenings aretime consuming responsibil-ities them nurse conducts atthe beginning of each schoolyear. On going vision, dental,scoliosis and hearing screen-ings for children take placethroughout the school year.Information from the screen-ings are used to compile annu-al changes in students phys-ical growth and to make re-ferrals for follow-up care.

With first hand knowledgeof student’s physical growthand health needs over an ex-tended period of time, theschool nurse contributes valu-able information and insightto intervention assistance andcrisis response teams.

Terminating the position ofa school nurse does not erasethe responsibilities a schoolnurse fulfills. Either thoseduties become an unmet voidor other staff members mustassume them. Sadly, innocentstudents will bear the conse-quences of these potentialpenny savings actions bysome of Ohio’s boards of edu-cation.

AARP is well-known, butnot-so-familiar is the AARPFoundation and its Tax-Aideprogram.

Tax-Aide volunteers pro-vide a valuable service to thepublic, working behind-the-scenes in a surprisingly help-ful and hopeful way each taxseason. Trained volunteersserve hundreds of familiesannually, helping them filetheir Federal and Ohio taxeswithout a fee being charged.The program assists low andmid-income families that area wide variety of ages. Allpeople are welcome to takeadvantage of this service.

This service has been inplace in Southwest Ohio formore than 30 years. Informa-tion about the program hasbeen told by one satisfiedperson to another over theyears. Nine sites in Cincin-nati’s East Side communitiesprovide this tax assistancegiven by 70 volunteers. Un-derstandably, as word gets

around, theneed for moresites con-tinues to grow,as does theneed for morevolunteers forthe programto expand.

Each yearfrom the be-ginning ofFebruarythrough mid-

April, hundreds of familiesare assisted on the East sideof Cincinnati alone. This area,Ohio District 19, serves com-munities from Interstate 71East into Western ClermontCounty, from the Ohio Rivernorth into Loveland and Mil-ford.

Volunteers are trained andcertified each year to staycurrent with changes in thetax law and thus be able toserve the tax payers whomthey assist. The program iscompletely run by volunteers;

in fact not even tips are ac-cepted for services rendered.Those receiving the servicedo not have to be a member ofAARP nor do they need to be a“senior citizen.” Typically taxpreparation takes about anhour. All returns are doublechecked for Quality Review;all are filed electronically.

There is a pressing needfor more volunteers to betrained for this service. Per-haps as you read this you areinterested in volunteering as aTax Prep Aide. Training/certi-fication will take place inJanuary, and volunteers willbe ready to serve the begin-ning of February.

MOUNT HEALTHY — It tooksenior guard Netra Owensbylonger than usual to get close toher normal scoring output forMount Healthy last Wednesdayagainst Little Miami.

However, the sluggish startfrom a senior leader and one ofthe more prolific scorers in thecity didn’t bother head coachGreg Moore. He received pro-duction from sophomore guardNia McCormick, who led allscorers with 19 points againstthe Panthers.

“She’s always had the greenlight, she’s just been in a shell,”Moore said. “She’s understoodthat she can compete as a sopho-more and that somebody elsehas to help us out on the scoringend.”

Owensby, who averages 20.7points per game, was such a bigpart of the team’s offense that it

seemed as though this teamwould only go as far as she couldcarry it. Having one standoutplayer isn’t always the best planas teams quickly figured outthat she was the only viablescoring threat.

Moore has been workingwith his offense to create openlooks at the basket against de-fensive sets that are aimed atstopping a potent player. Headded that players who don’tnormally score have had to be-cause of injury to two of theteam’s starters.

“They know that opponentsare going to double Netra so werun those triangle-and-two orbox-and-ones in practice,” hesaid. “You are going to be wideopen and you have to do some-thing to make them respectyour game.”

McCormick has seized theopportunity, averaging 17points per contest in the threegames against Northwest, Tala-

wanda and the Panthers.Against the Panthers, the Owls’point guard weaved through de-fenders on her way to the basketwith relative ease.

“If they want to take awayNetra, that’s fine,” Moore said.“Now, they have to guard twoscorers ... that’s what we needanyway.”

The Owls have three morehome games against Shroder,Indian Hill and Harrison. Thoseteams are a combined 19-22 thisseason.

After that homestand, MountHealthy finishes up with roadgames against Winton Woods,Ross, Edgewood and the finalgame of the regular seasonagainst Northwest.

“We’re hoping for a good sec-tional draw,” Moore said. “Wecan compete with the top fourteams in our section if we con-tinue to play good defense andour press works. We’re just try-ing to move up for seeding.”

COLERAIN TWP. — ColerainHigh School is rebuilding on themats this season. That’s a tall or-der for any team.

But, the Cardinals are fortu-nate that just last season theywitnessed the greatest perfor-mance in school history at thestate tournament when seniorTegray Scales (now at IndianaUniversity) took second placein the state at 195 pounds. Scaleslost a 3-2 decision in the champi-onship match.

“It’s been a rebuilding year,”first-year coach Chris Hotoppsaid. “We’re coming off lastyear losing the best wrestler toever come through this school(Scales).”

Colerain’s a young team, Ho-topp said they have 12 freshmenand anywhere between 4-6 haveto start varsity in a dual matchto fill weight classes. The Cardi-nals only have three seniors.

The first hurdle the Cardi-nals had to overcome was theirwork ethic.

“The work ethic in the roomwasn’t quite there at the begin-ning of the year,” Hotopp said.“Now, we’re starting to see thework ethic in the room. It’ssomething coaches always

strive for, and we're starting tomake the turn now.”

Colerain knew it would takesome lumps, as most youngteams do. But, they’ve handledthe lumps and they’re startingto win. Sophomore KennyByers (113 lbs.) and junior ChrisAlbert (170) won their weightclasses at the Sycamore Invita-tional on Jan. 10.

Senior Josh Daniels, who’s at145 or 152, is Colerain’s most-decorated wrestler — a districtqualifier last season with Byersand Albert. Hotopp also pointedout sophomore Roger Staigl,who he said has really turned iton and is probably the most im-proved wrestler from last sea-

NORTH COLLEGE HILL —Even with a small team,McAuley High School hasproven it belongs in the water,alongside the best.

“This is the best team I’vecoached (in my five years),”said McAuley coach EricStock. “We’ve got a lot ofyoung girls that are reallystepping up.”

The Mohawks only have 19swimmers. At times, they’recompeting against schoolsthat have twice that.

Stock said low numbers isthe biggest thing they’re fight-ing right now, explaining thebest swimmers train yearround with their club teams.Of McAuley’s 19 swimmers,they have four or five whoswim year round. Low num-bers haven’t slowed the Mo-hawks in water, where theyprove to be a persistent bunch.

McAuley just participatedin the Southwest Ohio HighSchool Swimming and DivingClassic Jan. 17-18. It’s the big-gest high school meet in thecountry, said Stock.

“This (meet) is kind ofwhere I judge where we’re at,”Stock said. “You see a differ-ent level of swimming (at theClassic). Some of our youngerswimmers have been in any-thing like this, so it’s a goodchance for them to learn howto compete.”

Stock believes his team ison the right track.

“We won the Best of theWest — that kind of surprisedme and showed me we have agood team that can compete,”said Stock.

McAuley has the GirlsGreater Catholic League com-ing up Feb. 4 and then its focus

turns to the postseason, whereStock said the hope is to qual-ify all three relays back to dis-tricts.

Senior Amanda Deller hasbeen a big part of McAuley’ssuccess in the pool.

“She’s (Amanda) the firstname to pop up for her suc-cess,” said Stock. “She’s kindof an ace up my sleeve. A lot ofthe girls look up to her becauseof her speed.”

Deller was a state qualifierlast season in the 100 and 200freestyles. Stock also said thatsenior Morgan Hennard has“really stepped up this year”as well as junior Erika Lucas,junior Lia Hergenrother andsophomore distance swimmerClaire Roell.

“The team’s pretty well-built,” Stock said. “A lot areyounger but they’re pretty ma-ture for their age.”

The Mohawks will be well-tested at the GGCL meet. Theyshould be prepared for thepostseason and their hope is toturn a few heads on a trip tostate.

son.“The best leader I have

is (senior) Brian Kennel-ly,” said Hotopp who ex-plained that during prac-tice before the team’sfirst match, Kennelly suf-fered an elbow injurythat’s kept him all season.“He’s just now trying tocome back. But, he’sstayed in the room andhe’s been a leader. He’sitching to get back inthere.”

Rebuilding years canbe tough, especially with anew coach. Hotopp was aColerain assistant for thelast two seasons so there’sa familiarity.

“They’re willing tolearn…coming in as a newhead coach there’s differ-ent styles,” Hotopp said.“They’ve taken on the role

of building a programhere. We’re not going to beturning heads at tourna-ments this year, but in

four years or so theseguys want to come backand say I helped build thisprogram.”

ST. BERNARD — RogerBacon High School wres-tling coach Chris Harri-son can still remember,not all that long ago,when one of his wres-tlers would go the wholeseason without a singlewin. Those days aregone, and Harrisonhopes they stay gone.

The Spartans are pastwinless seasons, but nowthe concern shifts tocommitment.

“We’re still having alittle bit of an issue withcommitment,” Harrisonsaid. “That’s where we’restruggling. We only filleight weight classes ifeveryone shows up.”

Practicing with onlyeight guys limits whatthe Spartans can workon.

“When you’ve only got4-5 guys in the room andthey’re mismatchedweight classes, it’s hardto develop a workoutwhere everyone gets livewrestling,” Harrisonsaid. “Live wrestling isso important — the morelive wrestling experi-ence you get, the better.”

Even with the limita-tions, Harrison and hisguys have no problemgetting excited for thesecond half of the season.Seniors Mike Frederickand Kevin Dihn provideleadership along with ju-nior Brian Stentz andsophomore Zac Baur.Freshman George Viethis a newcomer to thesport and the only fresh-

man on the team. Harri-son said the freshmanhas some natural abilityand he seems to really betaking to the sport.

The Spartans are alsoabout to suit up juniortransfer from St. Xavier,Nick Vanderwerff, at 182pounds. Vanderwerffhas some experience inGreco Roman wrestling,and according to Harri-son, he’s brought an ener-gy to the team.

Dihn and Frederickare both coming off un-defeated performancesat the East Clinton tour-nament. Dihn also placedsecond at 195 at Nor-wood’s Adam Cox Memo-rial tournament earlierthis season. Last season,Dihn had to bump up inweight to 220 so he waswrestling guys with 20-25 pounds on him.

“Since Kevin’s fresh-man year his main goalhas been to get to thestate tournament,” Har-rison said. “We talkedabout state and the kindof work you need to do toget there. He’s back athis normal weight thisyear so there’s reallynothing to hold himback.”

Stentz has really tak-en on a leadership role asa junior.

“He’s (Stentz) reallyturning the corner,” saidHarrison. “He’s kind of agoofball. He gets laughsand lightens the mood.He’s got a lot of heart andintensity.”

Harrison hopes thenumbers continue togrow. In his five years atthe school he’s seen pro-gress and they’re work-ing toward more of that.
