Kentucky teachers await the start of the hearing for House Bill 525 at the Kentucky Capitol on Feb. 28. Teachers have been protesting multiple bills in Frankfort. House Bill 525 would change the make-up of the Teachers Retirement System Board of Trustees, while House Bill 205 would create tax breaks for those who donate to private school scholarship. Teachers unions broadly oppose both issues. House Bill 525 was planned for a vote Monday, but that vote was delayed. ALTON STRUPP/COURIER JOURNAL

NKY superintendents rally against ‘backdoor voucher’ bill Mandy McLaren Courier Journal and Cameron Knight Courier Journal USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky public school superintendents and some students are rallying against a proposed bill they say would cut funding for public school while encouraging funding for private schools. Seventeen school districts were represented at a press conference Monday in Cold Spring at the Northern Kentucky Educational Cooperative. All the superintendents were opposed to Kentucky House Bill 205, now under consideration by the Kentucky General Assembly. "HB 205 would allow donors to claim large tax breaks for giving scholarships to private school students," a press release from organizers said. "The legislation would not only cut per-pupil funding for public schools, but also allow donors to dictate which schools beneﬁ ted from their tax dollars." Northern Kentucky Cooperative for

Proceedings took participants through a wide range of emotions in a packed overflow room. MATT STONE/COURIER JOURNAL

Educational Services, a group made up of the Northern Kentucky districts, said in a press release, the tax breaks would drain state coﬀ ers of money. “If you have a child in public school, HB205 is an attack on you and your child,” said David A. Rust, superintendent of Campbell County Schools. “It will deprive dollars to provide your

child a quality education." Top Republican lawmakers are throwing their support behind the controversial bill, signaling the measure may squeak through in the fi nal days of Kentucky’s legislative session — a move that could remobilize Bluegrass teachers fresh off a massive “sickout.” House Speaker David Osborne, a Republican from Prospect, signed on as co-sponsor of House Bill 205 last Wednesday. He joins two other members of Republican leadership in supporting the legislation, including bill sponsor Rep. John “Bam” Carney, majority fl oor leader. The bill, which had its fi rst reading Friday, would create a statewide private school scholarship tax credit program. Supporters say it would give more at-risk kids access to education tailored for their needs. But opponents, including the Kentucky Education Association, have warned the tax breaks would drain the state's revenues and See SCHOOLS, Page 2A

Students game for high school esports leagues Jon Richardson Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

On Jan. 28, St. Henry High School competed against Boyle County High School for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association state championship. Five students pitted against fi ve others, the two schools embarked in a battle of strategic supremacy. Victory would be achieved in the same way athletes have grown accustom to throughout the history of athletics — the execution of well-timed maneuvers, split-second decisionmaking, and tactics sharpened through practice, scouting and following a game plan, requiring all teammates being on the same page and playing within specifi c roles. But this match did not take place on a fi eld, court or any traditional — or tactile — arena of play. Instead, it took place in the digital world, ones and zeroes stored in remote servers. The competitors were simply avatars, controlled and manipulated by the keyboards and mice of the student participants. And though the match took place on computers, for the fi rst time ever the KHSAA awarded the same trophies it has now and for decades prior in sports like football, basketball and baseball. They are called esports, and after rapidly capturing the attention of millions around the globe, they have found their way to high schools in the See ESPORTS, Page 6A

hurt public schools. In a statement to Friday, KEA President Stephanie Winkler declined to say whether the union would call its members to action. But she stopped short of eliminating it as a possibility. Winkler called the the tax credit program a system of "backdoor vouchers for private schools" that would steer millions of dollars away from Kentucky public education. "That is a disservice to the more than 600,000 students in our public schools," she said. "It is bad legislation no matter who is co-sponsoring it, and KEA will continue to actively oppose it.” The tax credit bill has not yet received a legislative hearing. Nationally, private school scholarship programs based on tax credits have been advanced by school-choice supporters as a way to avoid thorny constitutional issues. In Kentucky, the state constitution prohibits the government from directly handing over tax revenue raised for educational purposes to "any church, sectarian or denominational school." By forgoing a traditional voucher program in favor of tax credits, supporters say House Bill 205 doesn't cross constitutional bounds. The proposed legislation would encourage Kentuckians — through tax breaks — to donate money to organizations that provide private school scholarships. In turn, those organizations would have more money to dole out to students. The bill would create $25 million in tax credits up for grabs in the ﬁ rst year of the program, allowing individuals and businesses who donate to qualifying scholarship organizations to subtract up to $1 million from their state tax bills on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

Bill supporters say the program would give Kentucky's most vulnerable students more choice in their schooling, pointing to a provision of the bill that gives priority to kids with special needs, in foster care or from low-income households. Proponents argue that wealthy families already have a choice when it comes to their kids’ education: They can either aff ord to pay for private school tuition or can move to an area with high-performing public schools. The scholarship program would level the playing fi eld for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, supporters say. The Kentucky bill must still be heard by the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee before it could be sent to the House fl oor for a full vote. An impact statement produced last year for a similar bill estimated the program would cost the state $50 million by its fourth year. House Bill 205 doesn't require students to have already attended a public school in order to qualify for a scholarship. And after the fi rst year of the program, students who have already received a scholarship or are siblings of a scholarship recipient would get fi rst priority when the funds are divvied. The push for a Kentucky tax credit program comes as the Trump administration attempts to shoulder through a federal version. Under a proposal unveiled this week by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, $5 billion in annual federal tax credits would be up for grabs, with states getting to choose which students would be eligible for scholarships and where the funds could be used. A Republican-backed bill for the plan would allow the funds to be used for special education services, apprenticeships and tutoring, in addition to private education.

Crazy Horse family elder and author visit Independence Library Crazy Horse family elder Floyd Clown Sr. will join author William Matson to discuss and sign their book “Crazy Horse: The Lakota Warrior’s Life and Legacy” based on the Family’s oral history March 16 at the Kenton County Public Library located at 1992 Walton Nicholson Pike from 1-3 p.m. in Independence. This will be their landmark 222nd appearance as they travel across the United States and Europe. The Crazy Horse family’s oral history had not been told outside the family for over a century because the government had been hunting their family members since Crazy Horse was assassinated in 1877. Now, over a century later, it is fi nally being told by his family. Clown, a son to Edward Clown who was a nephew to Crazy Horse and keeper of the sacred bundle and pipe, will represent his family at the discussion. Clown currently lives in Dupree, S.D. on the Cheyenne River Reservation. Matson, a documentary fi lm maker, currently resides in Spearfi sh, SD. This is Matson’s fi rst book. The event is free and open to the public. William Matson

Behringer-Crawford Museum announces 2019 Two-Headed Calf Award recipients Four Northern Kentucky residents have been selected for Behringer-Crawford Museum’s ninth annual Two-Headed Calf Awards for their outstanding service to the community. The honorees and their award categories are: ❚ Dennis R. Williams, attorney with Adams. Stepner, Wolterman & Dusing, PLLC – Kenneth and Eileen Harper Special Recognition Award ❚ Judi Gerding, president of The Point/Arc of Northern Kentucky - Service to the Community: Generosity and Vision Award ❚ Victor J. Canﬁ eld, historic preservationist Service to History: Scholarship and Public Service Award ❚ Jon Draud of Edgewood, educator and Kenton County commissioner - Service to Learning: Academic Excellence and Innovation Award The Two-Headed Calf Awards are named for the museum’s most notorious and fun exhibit: a preserved, two-headed calf. The calf, which celebrates its 103rd anniversary at the museum this year, symbolizes that, very often, true excellence rests with those who demonstrate achievement beyond a single contribution. Just as two heads are better than one, so, too, is the service of the people these awards honor. The 2019 Two-Headed Calf award recipients will be honored at an awards dinner and gala at 6 p.m., Thursday, March 21 at Northern Kentucky University’s Votruba Student Union Ballroom. The event will include dinner, cocktails, live music, a silent auction, raﬄ es and free parking, in addition to the fun awards celebration.

Sip on these to help heal seasonal ailments Hot ginger tea with a “kick”

Chilled apple ginger sparklers

Lemons contain vitamin C, which may decrease the strength of a cold, or flu. Cayenne helps with mucus and congestion. As mentioned, ginger is anti-inflammatory and calms the tummy.

As Mom said “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” I’m thinking that applies to apple cider, too!

Ingredients 2 cups water 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, unpeeled, chopped Lemon juice to taste Pinch of cayenne pepper powder optional Honey or sweetener to taste Instructions

Pick your remedy: golden milk, hot ginger tea with a kick or chilled apple ginger sparklers. RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Bring water to a boil. Add ginger and lemon juice. Remove from heat. Cover and steep 5-10 minutes. Add cayenne. Strain and sweeten. Tip Ginger and lemons freeze well.

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld

Well, one thing’s for sure - the cold and ﬂ u season is still with us. Today I’m sharing some hydrating, healing drinks that can help make snifﬂ es and aches go away or at least more tolerable. My newest fave is the wildly popular golden milk, made with ginger and turmeric. Turmeric is the spice that puts the yellow color in golden milk. (I use turmeric to color Easter eggs a brilliant gold, as well. More on that later).

The ginger tea is a classic, warming beverage. Need a chilled drink to bring the heat down? Try the apple ginger sparkler. Honey and infants According to the CDC, infants under the age of 1 should not consume honey. For more information, check out their site: www.cdc.gov/botulism/ prevention.html.

Ingredients 11⁄ 2 cups ginger syrup (recipe follows) Sparkling or regular apple cider Cinnamon sticks - optional Place 2 tablespoons syrup in a glass. Fill with ice cubes; pour in cider. Garnish with cinnamon sticks. Ginger syrup 1 cup sugar 1 three-inch piece ginger (4 oz.) peeled and sliced 1 cup water In saucepan bring sugar, ginger, and water to boil. Remove from heat, cover and let steep until cool. Strain. Store in refrigerator for 1 week or freeze for 3 months.

Golden milk We use raw honey from our hives, which contains beneﬁ cial enzymes and vitamins. Turmeric and ginger are anti-inflammatory and good for sore joints. Ginger calms the tummy. Pepper helps absorb turmeric nutrients, and honey is soothing and gives a boost of natural energy.

1 tablespoon chopped ginger root 1 tablespoon peeled, fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon dried Several black peppercorns Honey to taste Instructions

Esports Continued from Page 1A

Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area.

What are esports? Esports — or electronic sports — are the organized manner in which players compete against other players through video games. Esports embody the same head-tohead spirit found in video gaming since the days of “Pong” on Atari, only with rules, regulations, guidelines, teams, schedules, shared venues, tournaments and championships; all the typical fare associated with traditional sports. Unlike “Pong,” though, the games played have evolved and expanded in their complexity, capable of millions of outcomes and subtleties that vary game to game and are completely dependent on the strategies and patterns of their players. One of the most popular games in the esports scene is “League of Legends.” According to their website, “’League of Legends’ is a fast-paced, competitive online game that blends the speed and intensity of an RTS (real-time strategy) with RPG (role-playing game) elements. Two teams of powerful champions, each with a unique design and playstyle, battle head-to-head across multiple battleﬁ elds and game modes.” The inaugural season of eSports sanctioned by the KHSAA — “Season Zero” — focused exclusively on “League of Legends.” Just as state high school athletic associations organize and regulate something like basketball, they have increasing teamed up with organizations already involved with esports to bring the same type of competition. “We kind of use the analogy of being the NCAA for esports,” said Tyler Schrodt, the CEO and founder of the Electronic Gaming Federation (EGF), one of the organizations that oversee eSports at the high school and collegiate level. Schrodt notes that EGF keeps its focus on supporting local communities by concentrating on how eSports can be a platform to create the same type of opportunities that traditional sports do: competition, leadership, teamwork, opportunities for scholarships and college. EGF currently runs esports programs in Alaska and Virginia, as well as 13 cities across the country. Additionally, the organization works with Ohio State University and has been in contact with the Ohio High School Athletic Association about their program. The KHSAA works with a similar company, PlayVS, who has teamed up with the National Federation of State High School Associations. “Esports is about more than just playing games,” Dealane Parnell, CEO and founder of PlayVS said via a release on the NFHS website. “It can be used to help students grow their STEM interests and develop valuable life skills; and since there are more high school gamers than athletes, it's about time we foster

Despite any early successes, though, many still remain skeptical of the place esports have among traditional athletics. Seguim does not buy the dubious sentiments. “All I can say about the skepticism is we need to start considering more inclusion in the schools,” Seguim said. “Now we are including kids that probably before didn’t have a space, didn’t get the spotlight, didn’t get the chance to be out there and try things out. Now they’re doing it, just out of a video game. To say that they are not doing strategic planning, statistics, and applying concepts that are from the classroom…it’s not true. They are doing all of that.”

this pastime in an educational setting."

St. Henry successes St. Henry District High School ﬁ nished Season Zero as state runner up, but bringing home hardware was only a small piece of the impact esports have already had on their student body. “The best part of esports so far is the application of concepts,” said Polyana Seguim, a faculty adviser and coach for St. Henry’s esports team. “We as teachers try to get them to apply concepts that we teach in class… and they show up with an Excel sheet, and its color coded and they’re sharing and they’re taking notes. There is strategic planning.” Jorge Carbwood, also a faculty adviser and coach, has seen a strong sense of unity and collaboration among the players. “You have a group of kids that are into

technology but do not participate in sports,” Carbwood said. “Esports are bringing these kids out of that shell and they are playing together and collaborating, doing something they enjoy.” The team was formed when Jackson Clark, a St. Henry junior who already had a strong passion for gaming, heard the KHSAA was set to incorporate esports into its program. Clark approached administration with a plan for a team, and after getting the okay quickly went about building it. I was already playing somewhat competitively,” Clark said. “I was going to tournaments around the area. So, when I found out I could do it through school, that’s how I wanted to do it. I sent out a form to see if there was interest and then we made a team.” As a result of their success, St. Henry has seen a burst in participation with their esports program heading into Season One. Their numbers have ballooned from fi ve to 14, and parents of eighth-grade students who will attend St. Henry next year have already been reaching out about how to get involved. The growth is not unique to just St. Henry either. Joe Angolia, communications director of the KHSAA and head of the esports program, has seen the membership numbers soar after just a few months of existence. "We’ve already seen our participation grow fi ve-fold from Season Zero to Season One,” Angolia said. “We only had 13 schools involved in Season Zero. Right now, for Season One, we already have 65 schools registered.” There has also been increased interest in the St. Henry program from colleges, and they have been discussing potential scholarships. “(The colleges) basically wanted to present what scholarship opportunities they are off ering for kids that are into technology,” Carbwood said. “Obviously, gaming is a big part of technology these days. It is not going to go away so you might as well embrace it.”

While the KHSAA has been quick to adopt esports, the OHSAA is still in the preliminary stages. There are several schools in the Greater Cincinnati area that already have club teams — St. Xavier, Walnut Hills and Loveland, among others — but they lack the same statesponsored support of a school like St. Henry. Before any talks in Ohio go further, a fi rm decision must be made on just how much esports classify as sports and how they fi t in overall. “It is something that we have to continue to look at and put our arms around,” said Bob Goldring, senior director of operations for the OHSAA and member of the emerging sports committee. “I think to do our due diligence, we have to have further discussion internally where we think this should go, how this fi ts in our mission…They call themselves esports, but is it really a sport or activity? Would it fi t in to what the OHSAA is doing now? We really are just in our infancy or exploratory stages of looking at esports and how it might fi t in with the OHSAA.” Nationally, as eSports have continued to grow in not just popularity, but organizational complexity and infl uence, they have also begun to fi nd their place among the revenues of traditional sports as well. The National Football League still remains king among professional sports, generating an estimated $15 billion last season, according to Bloomberg. Major League Baseball pulled in $10.3 billion and the NBA raked in $7.4 billion, per Forbes. According to the 2019 Global esports market report published by Noozoo, esports generated $865 million in revenue over the year. The organization estimates that in 2022 that number will jump to almost $1.8 billion. To many of those involved, this is only the beginning. As the foundation strengthens and fully forms a clearer picture is starting to emerge on esports’ potential ceiling. “As long as (students) can get the support from the schools and the principals to take on this new activity, I think it will certainly only continue to grow for us,” Angolia said. “It has already gone up fi ve-fold from Season Zero to Season One. I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t continue to increase.”

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS – With fi ve new starters going into the new season, the Covington Catholic basketball team knew it would have some learning to do. Part of that process was losing twice to upstart Beechwood this season for the fi rst time in 10 years. The Colonels learned from those losses and controlled the Tigers Saturday night to a 64-48 win at BB&T Arena. The third meeting was the most important, coming in the Ninth Region championship game. CovCath, the defending state champions, will get a chance to win another one next week at Rupp Arena. “We had seven seniors last year,” CovCath senior Nick Thelen said. “We have a lot of guys who can step up and fi ll their role. They defi nitely did that tonight. We just have to take it one game at a time. Execute. A lot of scouting reports, a lot of fi lm. We just have to play our hearts out.” CovCath won its second regional title in a row and fourth in the last seven years as the Colonels were in the fi nal for the seventh straight season.. The Colonels will play Scott County next Thursday in a rematch of last year’s state fi nal. Scott County is the No. 1 team in the Associated Press poll. CovCath had lost two close games this season to Beechwood, who was in its fi rst regional fi nal since 1949. The Colonels led 11-0 late in the fi rst quarter. Beechwood scored the next nine points, but CovCath led 24-17 at halftime. Junior guard Joey Moser had nine of CovCath’s fi rst 19 points on three 3-

pointers and ended the game with 13 points. Jay Jackson had 15 points for CovCath. Moser and Jackson were key in breaking Beechwood’s pressure, which had been a diff erence-maker in the two Tiger wins. Starting point guard Grant Disken was held to four points, but had four assists. “They were pivotal in making the extra play,” CovCath head coach Scott Ruthsat said. “Our big thing was not turning the ball over. They gave us extra ballhandlers because we knew they were going to try to take away Grant.” Moser had a primary role in guarding Beechwood standout Scotty Draud, who had 12 points tonight. “We had to keep Draud in check,” he said. “The last two games we played against him, he was tough to guard. We had a good game plan and we executed tonight. Moser did not see the fl oor in last year’s Sweet 16. “It’s the best so far in my life and I want to cherish every moment of it,” Moser said. “It’s going to be a great experience. Growing up and watching CovCath go down there, I’m so excited to go down there and play.” Thelen took over in the third quarter, with fi ve fi eld goals during a 17-4 run that pushed the CovCath lead to 20 at 41-21. Thelen was named tournament MVP with 22 points and six rebounds in the fi nal. He shot a perfect 9-for-9 from the fi eld for the game and had 18 points in the second half. Junior Michael Mayer, playing his ninth game of the season, had fi ve points and 11 rebounds as CovCath outrebounded the Tigers by nine. See REGION 9, Page 2B

A lesser team would have folded. Down 19-6 after one quarter and trailing by 11 at halftime, it looked like Thomas More University’s dream of a perfect season was in serious danger. Fifth-ranked Trine was in control, and the Saints were, for the fi rst time all season, rattled. But it’s hard to stay rattled when you have the likely National Player of the Year, and possibly the greatest home court advantage in Division III basketball. In the second half, senior Madison Temple took over, and the Saints fans packing the Connor Convocation Center grew louder with every defensive stop and basket as the home team chipped away at the defi cit. The Saints hoped to cut the Thunder’s lead to fi ve heading into the fi nal quarter. This was one time head coach Jeff Hans was happy to be ignored by his team. After a near-fl awless third quarter, the Saints took a lead into the fourth quarter and never looked back, advancing to the Sweet 16 for the fi fth time in six seasons. “We fought through all of it. I told them at halftime to get it to fi ve. They don’t listen very well,” said a relieved Hans. “Instead of being down by fi ve, we were up by fi ve. We chipped away at a faster rate than I thought we would. We put the ball in Madison’s hands and let her make plays. Our rebounding was huge for us.” Shelby Rupp hauled in 18 rebounds, including nine off ensive boards. She fi nished with 19 points. Emily Schultz added 11. The trio of Temple, Rupp, and Schultz made all nine of their fi eld goal

attempts (three apiece) in the third quarter in which the Saints outscored the Thunder 28-12 as the CCC grew to a deafening pitch. “It was hard to hear. That’s a big credit to all of our fans who came out. We fi nally gave them something to cheer about,” said Hans. “We started playing hard again, diving on the fl oor after loose basketballs and making more eff ort plays.” The players thrived on the energy of the home crowd. Several alumni returned and the fans were excited just to catch a glimpse of their team, which played only seven home games all season. “The home crowd helped us so much. If they weren’t there to celebrate every little play and every stop on defense, I don't think we win this game,” said Temple. “You kind of want to win for all the people that came to watch you play.” The Saints needed to pull away in the second half of their fi rst round victory on Friday night, as well. St. Vincent kept coming back in the fi rst half, and Thomas More led its former PAC rival by just three points at halftime. Five players fi nished in double fi gures as the Saints rallied for a 25-point victory. Temple tallied 39 points, 21 rebounds, nine assists, and four steals over the two games. “Madison showed both nights why she’s the best player in the country, on both ends of the court,” said Hans. Temple erupted for 20 points in the second half comeback against Trine. She never forced shots, trusting her teammates just as much as they trust her. See SAINTS, Page 2B

Lottery games at Kentucky Speedway? We’ll see when NASCAR arrives in July Jason Hoffman

Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

When NASCAR comes to Kentucky Speedway in July, it's possible race fans will be able to get a piece of the action on the track. No, it's not sports betting. Instead, it's a lottery-style game that randomly selects car numbers and prints tickets that would pay players based on the outcome of the races. A partnership announced Thursday, Feb. 7 between Speedway Motorsports Inc., which owns Kentucky Speedway and operates speedways in eight states, and EquiLottery Gaming introduced the random-chance game known as "Car Cash." Mark Simendinger, general manager of Kentucky Speedway, said the concept was simple. "You pay $5 and you get a ticket," Simendinger said. "If any one of the three drivers on the ticket win, you get paid. If two out of the three fi nish in the top two, you get paid more. If all three fi nish in the top three, you get paid more, and if they fi nish in the order on your ticket, you get the grand prize." The projected grand prize could be as much as $50,000, according to the release. The payouts to winning tickets operate on a peri-mutuel system where all the winners are paid out of the total pool of money spent on tickets. It's not like traditional sports betting because players don't pick the three drivers on the ticket. There also are no options to choose diff erent types of wagers like in horse racing or traditional sports betting. “We have closely followed what EquiLottery Games has accomplished in the lottery industry and the unprec-

Ruthsatz acknowledged he had a tougher job this season than last, grooming in several new varsity players. “How many teams can lose seven seniors, ﬁ ve starters, and be back in the mix?” he said. ”It goes back to our guys, the way they train, the experience they get playing against older players. JVs play against our varsity every day. And the expectation level is high. We don’t lower it because we have JV kids coming up. “We lost some games because of it, but we learned from it. Then eventually you get seniors learning to take over the game.”

edented opportunity they are delivering for the sport of horse racing,” Speedway Motorsports Chief Strategy Offi cer Mike Burch said in a press release. “So when they approached us about using this platform for auto racing, we were excited by the possibilities for our sport as well.” EquiLottery Games CEO Brad Cummings, former director of the Jeff erson County Republican Party, said his company was looking forward to his company's expansion beyond horse racing. “This marks an important milestone as we continue to build on our vision for lottery games based on all live sports," Cummings said in a press release. "We look forward to what we can accomplish with Speedway Motorsports as we realize our shared goals to develop new auto racing fans, expand the lottery player base, and increase funding for the good causes lotteries exist to support.” What's next Equilottery will begin a 45-day beta test of its horse-racing game, Win, Place, Show, in March. The game randomly selects horses in a given race and winning payouts are determined in a pari-mutuel pool. If the test in Kentucky goes well, which Simendinger suspects it will, the lessons learned will be applied to further developing the rollout of the auto racing game. "It's exactly the same technology," Simendinger said. "The only diff erence is we populate it with cars and car drivers instead of the horses at one particular race." There is no specifi c timeline for implementation of Car Cash, which will still need legal approval and coordination through the Kentucky Lottery.

Notre Dame Academy grad is finalist for NCAA D-III honor James Weber Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Northern Kentucky produced one of the 10 fi nalists for the Jostens Trophy, one of the top individual honors in NCAA Division III basketball. The Jostens Trophy is awarded to an outstanding NCAA Division III men's and women's basketball player who excels on the fl oor, in the classroom and in the community. Case Western Reserve senior Hillary Hellmann out of Notre Dame Academy, is a fi nalist. Hellmann, along with the other 10 fi nalists, now move on to the next round of voting where a diverse panel of 30plus individuals will decide the winner. Ballots from the national selection committee are due by March 7, with the winning schools expected to be notifi ed by March 8. The awards presentation is scheduled for Thursday, March 14 in conjunction with the NCAA Division III women's basketball semifi nals and championship in Salem, Virginia, March 15-16. Hellmann, who was named to the All-UAA First Team, became the fi rst Spartan player since Evy Iacono in

“All the confi dence that my team has in me is the reason why I’m so able to have confi dence in myself,” she said. “I know that my coach trusts me to make smart plays. My teammates know that I’ll make smart plays. Once I start making shots, I want to shoot more.” A second consecutive trip to the fi nal four is on the line this weekend, and the Saints will host the sectional round. No. 18-ranked Transylvania is the opponent on Friday. If the Saints prevail, a matchup against either No. 22 Washington University or No. 12 Mary Hardin-Baylor looms on Saturday. The battle-tested Saints dug deep thanks to the experience gained playing several ranked opponents on the road this season, including a win over the Cru in Texas. “I think it let us know that we can play with anybody. Even though we were down by 13, we reminded each other of the teams we played this year,” said Temple of Saturday’s victory. “I wasn’t really worried that much. Playing all those road games really helped us with seeing all those diff erent defenses and quality teams.” The Saints showed resilience when

2012-13 to lead the UAA in scoring, averaging 17.5 points per game during the year, the 66th-highest mark among all Division III players. She started all 25 games for CWRU, shooting 42.2 percent overall and 31.4 percent on threepoint attempts. She was also third among UAA players with 8.5 rebounds per game, and fi nished the year with 10 double-doubles, including fi ve in league play. Her 1.0 blocks per game was the seventhbest mark in the UAA during the campaign. Hellmann was named the UAA Athlete of the Week twice during the season, including after she scored a season-high 30 points and collected 13 rebounds against Eastern on Dec. 20. Hellmann played in 99 games over her career, including 90 in a starting role, and fi nished her time at CWRU second in program history with 1,593 points, while her 220 made threepointers are a program record. In the classroom, Hellmann has a cumulative 3.714 grade point average as a Mechanical Engineering major. She has been named to the Dean's High Honors list fi ve semesters, while claiming a place on the Dean's Honors list an additional two times.

they needed to most. They adapted to playing more zone in one game than they had in Hans’ seven previous seasons combined. “We found a way to play with urgency when we needed to, like we did back in December and January,” said Hans. “Hopefully we can build off of that momentum. Especially this time of year, you never know if there’s going to be enough time left to pull it out.” The players are ready to lay it all on the line in front of their home fans two more times this weekend. The fi rst two rounds served as a learning experience as the Saints survived the best shot from two quality programs. “We’ve struggled in the fi rst half the last two games and the teams are only going to get better from here on out. I think being able to come back against a really good team like Trine gave our team confi dence, especially our younger players,” said Rupp. “You can’t get down on yourself, you can’t let one mistake lead to another. For me, I know doing the little things helps our team so much.” It’s the willingness to do all those little things that has the Saints in position to take care of the biggest thing: capping an undefeated season with another national championship. Thomas More faces Transylvania on Friday at 7:00 p.m. Saturday’s sectional fi nal tips off at 6:30.

St. Joseph, Cold Spring sponsors ‘Wacky Wednesday’ fundraiser It is not every day that wackiness roams the halls of St. Joseph, Cold Spring. But when it happens, there is a good reason for it. Student Council sponsored “Wacky Wednesday,” to raise funds for a parish family that was experiencing a rough time. To be sure the students enjoyed the special day, but what was just as evident was that the students were engaged in the spirit of giving. Many expressed gratitude for being able to help another St. Joe family in their time of need. Linda Gabis

Wackiness was the dress code for the day at St. Joseph, Cold Spring. Students from Krista Schoulties’ third grade class, from leftwere Myles Yaeger, Jaiden Wittrock, Mitchell Franzen and Matthew Gilbert. PROVIDED
