How one popular College Hill restaurant is weathering the storm Japanese pub Kiki won’t give up without a fi ght Keith Pandolfi Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

The weather was unsettling as I drove to College Hill to pick up dinner at Kiki on a recent Sunday. Winds were blowing at what seemed like 40 miles per hour, and while the sky looked clear, there was a dark cloud over the horizon, which, of course, I will employ as a metaphor for how the entire restaurant industry was feeling.

Three days earlier, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced he might put the kibosh on indoor dining as the state’s COVID-19 numbers continued to skyrocket, leaving everyone in the restaurant business with a gut-punch feeling of anxiety and uncertainty.

Inside, Kiki owner Hideki Harada was feeling that uncertainty, too. Standing behind the front counter, he said he was already planning on how to go back to takeout only. He also told me he’d recently been forced to let his general manager go, which was why he was running back and forth between the kitchen and the front counter.

I took a look around the dining room, where about 15 or so customers were sitting at their socially distanced tables drinking beer and slurping ramen. (They are down to 30 seats, vs. their usual 65.)

While Kiki’s carryout business is still going strong, Harada said the potential loss of indoor dining would be a heavy blow. Still, he said, “We’re going to get through this. And we aren’t going to give up without a fi ght.”

Fighting was the last thing on Harada’s mind when he and his wife, Yuko, opened Kiki, an izakaya style Japanese pub, in College Hill in August 2019. “We were doing great,” he said. “We were getting notoriety, our reviews talked about how great the food and the service was.”

And while the restaurant was still just a baby, Harada and Yuko were already thinking of expanding.

A lot of that buzz was due to Harada’s already great reputation as the executive chef at Kaze, which he opened in a 3CDC property in Over-the-Rhine after studying izakaya food in Japan. After leaving that restaurant in 2017 to focus on something smaller and more personal, he and Yuko started doing ramen pop ups at Northside Yacht Club before securing an

old bank space in College Hill for Kiki.

Like most restaurants, Kiki has learned how to roll with the punches throughout the pandemic. Though they

might’ve had a harder time than most.

When the virus started, Harada said his business was hit unusually hard due to some unwarranted fears surrounding

the virus.

“All the Asian-owned restaurants were starting to see the downfall early, before the shutdown,” he said. “Our sales were dipping. I don’t know if it was the Wuhan thing, but I can only assume so.”

I remember reading something Harada posted on a Facebook page for Cincinnati restaurant and bar workers regarding the situation. “Do we just tough it out?” he wrote. “I’m in a rough spot right now. We are a family owned restaurant with no investors with deep pockets.”

COVID-19 test pilot to Mason, Lakota, Princeton schools Terry DeMio Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Editor’s note: Information included refl ects this article’s original publication date – Nov.13. Visit Cincinnati.com for possible updates.

Three Cincinnati area school districts will take part in an Ohio COVID-19 testing pilot program to fi nd out how the illness spreads among kids.

Students with their parents' consent will be given rapid COVID-19 tests as part of the Ohio Schools COVID-19 Evaluation program.

Testing will begin the third week of November, offi cials said Nov. 13. Lakota Local, Mason City, and Princeton City schools are among nine Ohio districts chosen to participate in the pilot program.

The rapid test can be performed with results in about 20 minutes.

Mason Schools Superintendent Jonathan Cooper was among superintendents who'd been asking Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's offi ce early this school year to evaluate whether students have to be in quarantine after close contact with

someone who has COVID-19.

Thousands of students and teachers across the state have been quarantined after being identifi ed as close contacts during contact-tracing eff orts since schools opened.

The three superintendents said in statements that they fully support the eff ort.

“We are proud to be a part of this statewide study,” said Lakota Superintendent Matthew Miller. “Having been in school all day, every day, since Aug. 17, our data shows that there is little to no spread in the classroom when everyone is wearing a mask. We are hopeful that our state leaders will use the data from this study to lessen the number of days required for quarantine due to a positive case in a school setting.”

“After three months of being in school – all day, every day – we have seen just how eff ective face masks are for stopping the spread of COVID-19,” Cooper said.

"Scientifi c data is critical to making the best decisions for our students, staff , families, and communities," said Princeton Schools Superintendent Tom

Nails intentionally put on roads in Springdale and Sharonville, police say Jessica Schmidt Fox19

Police believe someone is intentionally putting drivers in danger in Springdale and in Sharonville.

People living in both communities have reported that piles of nails are showing up in the streets and on sidewalks.

According to residents, hundreds of them have been found, leading to thousands of dollars in damage.

“It’s an expensive endeavor that we’re having to endure," Carmen Daniels, who lives in Springdale, said.

Sharonville’s police chief says given the locations of the nails and the amount of nails involved, he believes someone is doing it on purpose.

Daniels says she ended up buying a magnetic sweeper after her husband had to replace two tires. She says it is not just frustrating, it is unsafe.

“It’s dangerous. You have kids that are catching the bus to go to school. The busses could get a fl at tire. Somebody that called an ambulance, they could get a fl at tire, the fi re department," Daniels

Kiki Continued from Page 1A

When DeWine offi cially banned indoor dining on Sunday, March 15, Harada and his staff took Monday and Tuesday off , and reopened as a carryout-only restaurant on Wednesday. Carryout was always something Kiki had tried to avoid. “We didn’t do it because we had oysters, and hand rolls – a lot of items that wouldn’t refl ect the quality we’re trying to represent if they were served as carryout items.”

To compensate, Harada took several of those items off the menu, eventually off ering a hand-roll sushi kit customers could make at home. By April, they added an online ordering system, and while he swore he’d never do so, Harada tried to woo new customers with a “hamburger” of sorts, made with a beef/pork blend, fried egg, teriyaki sauce and cabbage and mayo, served on Sixteen Bricks bread. (While the burger is off the menu now, you can fi nd all of Kiki’s specials on the restaurant’s Facebook page.)

Yes, there were layoff s. There had to be. “I let everyone go except our GM,” Harada said. “So it was just my wife and I cooking, and my GM taking orders over the phone.”

In June, they took an enclosed dining area that was feeling a bit too claustrophobic for diners and opened a market featuring popular Japanese convenience store items, including tamago sando, an egg sandwich made with Japanese mayonnaise and milk bread, as well as shrimp chips, sesame dressing,

said. "It aff ects everybody who travels up and down these roads. One lady said she had a blowout, that’s dangerous.”

Chris Thomas lives on the Sharonville side and says she is adjusting her security system to try to catch the person, or people, responsible on camera.

“This kept happening and kept happening, and people were saying, ‘I lost a

candy and Japanese beer.

“The market is intriguing,” Harada said. “If all goes well, it might be something we consider for another business.”

If there was a silver lining in any of this, he said, it’s the fact that it’s forced him to come up with new ideas and concepts.

“Everyone in the restaurant industry has to be creative to try to create new forms of revenue,” he said.

Along with the various pivots he’s had to make, Harada, like many restaurant owners, is counting on the goodwill of his customers to help him and Yuko along the way. “People seem interested in supporting local mom-and-pop shops like ours,” he said, especially in a closeknit community like College Hill.

“People want to support their communities,” he said. “Places like College Hill, and restaurants like ours or Tortilleria Garcia (located across the street from Kiki) are seeing more consistent business directly related to neighborhood customers.

After all, he continued, many Cincinnati neighborhoods see having a popular restaurant like Kiki as a badge of honor.

“They don’t want to lose a restaurant in their own neighborhood, so they choose

tire on that street,’ and, ‘I lost a tire,’ and, ‘I lost a tire,’ and now it’s to the point where some people are afraid to go up the street," Thomas said. “It’s just quite frankly unAmerican.”

People in both communities say they just want whoever is doing it to cut it out.

“Just stop," Daniels said. "You are en-

dangering people’s lives. Please stop.”

City workers have been using street sweepers to try to help remove the nails from the roads.

Sharonville’s police chief says if they are able to identify a suspect, that person could face criminal charges.

to eat here instead of going somewhere else.”

No matter what Gov. DeWine’s decisions are throughout the rest of the pandemic, Harada says Kiki will continue to persevere. Does he have his doubts? Of course he does. Every week, he and Yuko talk about the challenges they face in keeping the restaurant open (as well as how to best take care of their young daughter’s remote learning while doing so).

“This restaurant was our dream come true,” he said. “And we’ll never regret what we’ve done. But it’s exhausting. We are working so hard; we are working alone, and we are barely making ends meet. We’ll have one bad week and ask if it’s worth it to keep doing this to ourselves. Then we’ll have a good week and remember why it is.”

Two Lima Republicans will lead Ohio Legislature Jessie Balmert Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – When it comes to House leadership votes, Republicans’ decision Nov. 18 to re-elect Speaker Bob Cupp was comparatively undramatic.

The decision wasn’t forced by an FBI investigation into an outgoing speaker.

The decision didn’t take 11 rounds of voting.

No candidate begged Democrats for support.

In fact, the only potential challenger to Cupp’s bid, Green Township Rep. Bill Seitz, recently bowed out .

“Ohioans expect a House of Representatives that is ready to meet the challenges we face,” Seitz said in a

statement. “Bob Cupp is uniquely qualifi ed to lead our caucus in this time.”

Cupp, of Lima, is a former Ohio Supreme Court justice and current llama owner. He narrowly won the speaker’s gavel in July after now-Rep. Larry Householder was reCupp moved from the role.

Householder is accused of orchestrating a nearly $61 million bribery scheme tied to $1 billion in subsidies for nuclear plants in northern Ohio.

Cupp’s leadership team will include: h Rep. Tim Ginter, R-Salem, as speaker pro tempore. h Seitz as majority fl oor leader.

h Rep. Rick Carfagna, R-Genoa Township, as assistant majority fl oor leader. h Rep. Don Jones, R-Freeport, as majority whip. h Rep. Cindy Abrams, R-Harrison, as assistant majority whip.

Both Ginter and Carfagna mounted bids for speaker in July but ultimately endorsed Cupp over Rep. Jim Butler, ROakwood. Butler, who lost that bid by one vote, is term-limited.

Democrats have not yet selected their leaders for next year.

New Senate president Fellow Republicans selected Sen. Matt Huff man, R-Lima, to lead the Ohio

Senate – an expected move as current Senate President Larry Obhof, R-Medina, will leave due to term limits.

Huff man’s leadership team will include: h Sen. Jay Hottinger, R-Newark, as president pro tempore. h Sen. Kirk Schuring, R-Canton, as majority Huffman fl oor leader. h Sen. Rob McColley, R-Napoleon, as majority whip.

The new leaders will be sworn in on Jan. 4 for a two-year session. Senate Democrats were awaiting the results of a tight Franklin County race before selecting leaders.

Kroger again caps toilet paper purchases as COVID-19 cases rise Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

Kroger says it has capped the purchase of some household staples at two per customer for toilet paper and other items as COVID-19 cases and jitters over new potential stay-at-home orders climb.

The Cincinnnati-based supermarket operator – the nation’s largest – said it implemented limits early this week to be proactive, adding it hasn’t seen a jump in demand for key staples including paper towels, disinfecting wipes and hand soap. The company said there hasn’t been any diffi culties with supply either.

“To ensure all customers have access to what they need, we’ve proactively and temporarily set purchase limits to two per customer on certain products,” Kroger said in a statement.

The limits apply in-store as well as to e-commerce orders.

Besides Kroger stores, the grocer operates several regional supermarket chains in 35 states, including Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, Ralphs, Mariano’s, Fry’s, Smith’s, King Soopers, QFC and others. The company has nearly 2,800 stores and employs more than 500,000 workers.

While Kroger sales have jumped during the pandemic as consumers shifted their eating habits away from restau-

rants, the company struggled to keep some items stocked on shelves as customers hoarded some items like toilet pa-

per during early stay-at-home orders in various states, including Ohio and Kentucky.

2020 WOMAN OF THE YEAR

Samina Sohail aims to help communities connect Briana Rice Cincinnati Enquirer

ABOUT SAMINA SOHAIL:

USA TODAY NETWORK

Birthplace: Orlando, Florida

Samina Sohail wears a lot of hats.

She’s a tour guide. A community organizer. A family physician. A speaker. A writer. A mother. A wife.

“When you see the impact of your work, it is very rewarding and it makes you keep going,” Sohail said.

She’s nonstop. In addition to her family practice, Sohail organizes educational programming and community building events between Muslim Americans and other communities in Cincinnati. As a tour guide and a speaker for the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati, Sohail has worked to bring together people from all faith-based communities and to dispel Islamaphobia.

The biggest problem Sohail sees in the community is that she says we all live in our own “bubbles.”

“We have our comfort zones, we have our families, our friends, our communities. We have these spaces where most of us are like-minded,” Sohail said. “I see that issue within the Muslim community and through the greater community.”

She continues to work to help bring diff erent people together.

Sohail’s focus is on community organizing and racial justice. As a board member of the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati, Sohail creates platforms where people from diff erent religions, races and cultures can come together to ask questions and get to know each other.

These forums are meant to be a place for people to connect and ask questions.

Social distancing and quarantine requirements have not stopped the work that Sohail has been able to do.

“The pandemic made us pay a lot more attention to the world around us,” Sohail said. “The benefi t in Zoom is that you know they’re paying attention.”

Current residence: West Chester, Ohio

‘Bubbles create walls’ Amid the pandemic, Sohail has pivoted to virtual programming with an event called, “Community Conversations.” The panels have adapted with the times and have covered topics such

Sometimes you just have this passion.

You want to improve the community around you and your own community.

When that passion is there, there is really no limit. You want to just keep doing whatever you can do to improve things.”

as COVID-19, racism, biases, discrimination and how all community members can work to understand it and improve.

“Obviously we need our faith spaces but sometimes these bubbles create walls,” she said. Sohail said she believes that more discourse between diff erent communities would bring a lot of solu-

tions to Greater Cincinnati.

“I really try to be a voice for Muslim Americans,” Sohail said. In addition to speaking at local high schools and in other communities, Sohail has written several editorials for The Enquirer about healthcare, political issues and life as a Muslim American, At work as a family physician, Sohail has had to transition to “telemedicine” to help combat the coronavirus. “Nothing compares to the in-person doctor and patient relationship though,” Sohail said.

Family life is important to her. In addition to her four children and husband, Sohail’s in-laws also live with the family. Faith is at the center of their life, and Sohail has worked to teach her children about Islam and Muslim American culture.

In addition to attending the Islamic Center, all four children attended elementary school at El-Sewedi International Academy of Cincinnati. The old-

Who most influenced or inspired you to care about others? “I give my parents a lot of credit. They came to this country in the early ‘70s. To do that and to forge a life onward, and to make sure the two things they never compromised on were faith and family.

Having that as a foundation was instrumental. That faith. When they came to Florida, there were less than 10 Muslim American families in the region.

They made sure I learned about my religion. I can’t forget my husband. He keeps me grounded. He supports me in so many ways.”

“I’m a strong believer in supporting our institutions, both our Islamic Center and our Islamic School. Part of my passion comes from the strength of those, that the next generation will be even more positive Muslim American ambassadors,” Sohail said.

It’s ‘time to think about special food for December holidays’ Classic creme brûlée This makes eight 6 oz. ramekins.

See tips below for other sizes.

My instructions are for whisking by hand. Use an electric mixer on low if you want.

Recipe can be cut in half for smaller batch.

Ingredients 1 quart whipping cream 1 vanilla bean, pounded and split lengthwise or 1 tablespoon vanilla

Creating caramelized sugar crust.

⁄ 8 teaspoon salt

1

10 large egg yolks, room temperature preferred, but not absolutely necessary Instructions

Sprinkle each with about a teaspoon sugar (depending on size) in thin layer.

Preheat oven to 325.

Pour cream, vanilla bean and salt into pan over low heat.

PHOTOS BY RITA HEIKENFELD/FOR THE ENQUIRER

Cook just until hot. Let sit a few minutes to infuse vanilla before removing bean.

(If using extract, add now.)

Rita’s Kitchen Rita Heikenfeld Guest columnist

Place yolks in large bowl and add sugar.

Whisk for several minutes, until real light yellow in color.

The homes on my old country road are already getting decked out for the holidays. How about where you live?

Yep, in a couple of days, Thanksgiving will be a happy memory, so it’s time to think about special food for December holidays.

For me, that means saving eggs from my girls/chickens since they’re molting and egg production is not peak.

Lots of my favorite Christmas dishes use eggs, including this recipe for creme brûlée.

So, maybe you think this restaurant quality dessert is complicated. It’s honestly not hard to make.

As usual, follow my detailed instructions, and success is yours!

Next, add cream: pour 1 cup cream slowly into egg/sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Called tempering, this prevents eggs from curdling.

Let creme brûlée cool after baking.

Baking creme brûlée in a Bain Marie/water bath insures gentle, uniform heat around the custards.

That’s why you need a baking pan with high sides.

Creme brûlée is a unique dessert, silky smooth custard underneath a sweet crackling sugar crust.

And each one is single serve, an elegant dessert to have with self distancing still in place.

Adding sugar crust Brûlée must be cold before adding sugar crust.

1 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling

Enjoy creme brûlée, an elegant dessert for the holidays.

Brûlée will fi rm up.

Keep adding cream slowly, whisking constantly.

Use kitchen torch to burn sugar to form crust, working quickly to avoid cooking custard below. Serve within 3 hours.

No torch? No worries – use broiler Put ramekins on cookie sheet 2-3 inches under broiler.

Turn broiler on and broil just until sugar melts and browns (you might get a few black patches) a few minutes only.

What kind of ramekins work?

Anything ovenproof works.

Smaller ramekins take less time than larger ones.

Place ramekins in rimmed baking pan, and pour in custard until 3/4 full.

Start checking smaller ones about 25 minutes in.

Place pan inside oven, pour very hot water half way up ramekins.

Repurpose vanilla bean

Bake until custard is just set (it will still be a bit jiggly in middle) but not brown, about 30-40 minutes, depending on size of ramekins.

Remove ramekins, let cool, refrigerate, covered, several hours or up to 3 days.

Bury bean in granulated sugar and use it to flavor beverages and fruit.

Can sugar crust be left off?

Sure, you’ll still have a lovely dessert, not creme brûlée (which means “burnt cream”).

SPORTS St. Xavier brings home their fourth state title Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

COLUMBUS – After scoring just 22 points in the previous two playoff wins, the St. Xavier Bombers lit up Pickerington Central like the proverbial Christmas tree Nov. 13, downing the previously unbeaten Tigers 44-3.

Putting up 30 in the fi rst quarter was probably the last thing anyone thought they’d see, but sure enough, the Bombers scored more in the opening frame than they had the last two games combined.

“We’ve been talking all year long that one of these days we’re going to put a game together,” St. Xavier coach Steve Specht said. “If you saw us this year we score a lot of points, but we give up a lot of points. Then, at the end of the year, we weren’t giving up many points. Boy, we picked the right time to put it together!”

Brogan McCaughey found fellow junior Jalen Patterson four times with Patterson holding up four fi ngers for the cameras after the last one.

“It was just a crazy night,” Patterson said. “Our off ensive coordinator had a great game for us and I was just at the right place at the right time.”

Patterson fi nished with fi ve catches for 105 yards and the four scores, while McCaughey was 25-for-39 for 291 yards with the scoring strikes to St. Xavier’s lucky No. 7.

“Ever since freshman year I’ve had a special connection with Jalen,” McCaughey said. “It’s never showed as much as it did today.”

Not only was it an incredible off ensive performance, but it was also a stellar defensive night stopping a Pick Central team that came in with its seasonlow point performance being 35. Front and center holding the trophy afterward was senior Matthew Devine.

“We probably had our best practice this week,” Devine said. “Everyone did their job and was their individual best.

MND volleyball perseveres, wins DI state title Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

VANDALIA - It was Sunday volleyball brunch Nov. 15 at Butler High School with Mount Notre Dame’s Cougars trying for an after-Mass state title against a powerful unbeaten foe, Parma Padua Franciscan.

After spotting the Bruins the fi rst game 25-14, the Cougars awakened like a stiff shot of Joe, paddling Padua in three straight to win the match and pile on the gym fl oor in celebration. After that, social distancing went back into eff ect, but for a team that battled the coronavirus pandemic odds and survived to taste the ultimate victory, a brief respite of pandemonium was earned.

The fi nal tally was 14-25, 25-14, 25-12, 25-18. Florida-bound junior Carly Hendrickson led both squads with 20 kills.

Senior Ally Christman added 11 and sen-

ior Kristen McBride was fl awless with nine. Senior Anna Currin had 15 digs and senior Megan Wielonski had 36 assists.

Wielonski added four services aces and senior Audrey Wolfer had three. Wielonski will go on to play at Ball State, with Christman heading to Robert Morris.

“We simply said, ‘Relax, trust the scouting report, trust our system, trust the way we play and go back out here and execute,’” Mount Notre Dame head coach Chris Lovett said after dropping the fi rst set.

Execute they did in more ways than one as momentum switched sides quicker than Benedict Arnold.

For coach Chris Lovett, it’s his fi rst as a head coach and the 10th overall for Mount Notre Dame. It was MND’s fi rst state title since 2015 when then-coach Joe Burke brought home the hardware from Wright State’s Nutter Center.

Roger Bacon football falls in state semifi nals Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

LONDON — The last thing Roger Bacon head coach Mike Blaut wanted his team to do was hang their heads.

The Spartans were emotional Nov. 14, when their state tournament run came to an end in the Division V state semifi nals with a 22-19 loss to Ironton at Bowlus Field in London.

But it was a season for the history books as Roger Bacon went 10-1, won the Miami Valley Conference outright and became the fi rst team in program history to win a regional championship and advance to the state Final Four.

“We had one hell of a run,” Blaut said.

“We are still a team of history so we hold our heads high.

“It’s hard and it’s really hard for our seniors because obviously they’re the ones that are gonna suff er. Our younger guys will come back, but my seniors are hurting right now. I gotta get over there and help those guys out. It’s just one of those games.”

One of those seniors was running back Corey Kiner. The LSU commit fi nished his storybook prep career with 107 yards and a touchdown on 22 attempts.

He is No. 10 on the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s all-time rushing yards list with 7,134.

Kiner’s fi nal carry in brown and grey sealed a victory for Ironton. With just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter, he was stopped short on fourthand-6. Ironton would get a fi rst down just two plays later, then take a knee the rest of the way to seal its 10th career trip to a state championship game.

“We’re gonna win and lose with him.

Even on that last play, that fourth down, he’s our guy and we were gonna go to him no matter what,” Blaut said. “Unfortunately they made the play and we didn’t.”

Kiner was the bell-cow for Roger Bacon’s off ense all year long and came up big Nov. 14 in the third quarter. The Spartans went on a 12-play, 85-yard drive, with Kiner running seven times for 59 yards. His 3-yard touchdown plunge

St. Xavier Continued from Page 1B

When that happens, we’re amazing!”

St. Xavier had 354 total off ensive yards, mostly in the fi rst half and held the Tigers to just 76.

“On the sideline, we kept telling everyone to keep pushing and not let them climb back into the game because that can happen sometimes,” senior Gio Albanese said. “We kept doing everything we could to force three and outs and punts so our off ense could get back on the fi eld.”

Terrel McFarlin had seven catches on the night for 71 yards, while Charles Kellom added seven for 61 yards. In his fi nal game, Liam Cliff ord had three catches for six yards but kept the Tigers occupied allowing the other Bombers to fl ourish. He now has equal bragging rights with his brother, Penn State quarterback Sean Cliff ord who led the Bombers to victory in 2016.

“This means everything to me,” Clifford said. “I’ll be calling him on my way home on the bus. He’ll be so excited for me, but he can’t have that leg up on me now.”

The championship is St. Xavier’s fourth going along with their 2005, 2007 and 2016 crowns. It was their 50th postseason win. Pickerington Central was last year’s champ with a win over Elder in Canton. It was Pickerington’s fi rst loss of the season and the most points they had allowed all year.

“You never think this is going to happen,” Specht said of the outburst cele-

with 3:37 left in the third quarter gave Roger Bacon its fi rst lead of the night at 19-13.

“They’re a good football team,” Blaut said. “We tied it up 13-13 and came out at half and went ahead on ‘em and still had the momentum, but they kept fi ghting, too. They’re a good football team and I hope they go win it all now.”

Early in the game, nothing seemed to be going Roger Bacon’s way. The Spartans were gifted 30 penalty yards and were in striking distance on their fi rst possession, but a 34-yard fi eld goal sailed wide right.

Three plays later, Ironton running back and Ohio State University commit Reid Carrico went 78 yards for a touchdown to put the Tigers up 6-0.

Later in the half, Roger Bacon quarterback Logan Huber’s pass was defl ected and intercepted by Landen Wilson. That set up Carrico’s second touch-

brated by fi reworks shot into the cool night. “What a night for the Bombers.

Pick Central was a running team. As soon as we went up we didn’t think they’d be able to throw the ball on us.”

The Bombers defense forced Pickerington Central into a punting situation on the fi rst series of the game. The Tigers faked and fell short. A few plays later McCaughey made them pay on 3rd and 9 from the 14 by hitting Patterson over the middle for the game’s fi rst tally.

Quickly, it was 9-0 after Grant Lyons tackled Pick Central’s Garner Wallace in the end zone. Then, 43 seconds later it was 16-0 when McCaughey found Patterson again from 35 yards away. He would fi nd him twice more before quarter’s end for the improbable 30-point opening frame.

The Tigers would kick a fi eld goal early in the second to get on the board, but a McCaughey 1-yard plunge and a Gabe DuBois electrifying 58-yard punt return would put St. Xavier up 44-3 with the running clock in eff ect for the second half.

“I’m pretty confi dent in my ability to make people miss,” DuBois said. “I started making a few people miss. I found a seam and I hit it. Touchdown.”

St. Xavier fi nishes 10-2, unbeaten in Ohio.

down of the half, a three-yard run to put the Tigers up 13-0 early in the second quarter.

It marked the fi rst time Roger Bacon had trailed by double digits since last season’s 28-27 loss to Valley View in the Division IV regional semifi nals.

“I knew our guys were gonna respond and bounce back and we did,” Blaut said. “We did a nice job to come back and tie it. Momentum had gone to them but our boys kept fi ghting — they never stopped fi ghting. I’m very proud of them.”

Roger Bacon got back in the game thanks to its defense, which forced fumbles on back-to-back Ironton possessions.

Austin Linn fumbled with less than nine minutes left in the half and Evan Webb recovered. Three plays later, Huber lofted a 20-yard touchdown to tight end Ryan Hallau to make it 13-7.

Kyle Guyer would hop on a fumble just two plays later and Blaut dialed up some trickery on the ensuing play — a reverse pass where Danny Hudepohl fi red a 31-yard touchdown to Jake Tschida to tie the game at 13-13 heading into the half.

Trailing 19-13 in the fourth, Ironton leaned on Carrico, who ran for a gamehigh 187 yards on 29 attempts. The Tigers trudged 47 yards, exclusively on the ground, then faced fourth-and-7 from the Roger Bacon 23. Carrico slipped out of the backfi eld and was wide open to haul in a 23-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tayden Carpenter that put Ironton up 20-19 and proved to be the game-winner.

An errant snap on Roger Bacon’s next possession forced Huber to fall on the ball in the end zone for a safety to make it 22-19.

The Spartans got one last chance, needing 79 yards for a game-winning TD. Hallau made a leaping one-handed catch for a fi rst down on third-and-14 and Ironton was fl agged for pass interference on the next set of down on fourth-and-16. That set up fourth-and-1, but Roger Bacon jumped. On fourthand-6, the Tigers keyed in on Kiner, stopping him well shy of the fi rst down and the orange and white celebration was on.

“I just told them this one hurt and it’s gonna hurt for awhile,” Blaut said. “Six months or a year from now, these guys are gonna look back and we were a historic team. We’ve gone further than any other Roger Bacon team, the whole Spartan Nation was proud of us going into this and they still should be proud of these boys because they’ve done a heck of a job and have defi nitely put us on the map over the last couple of years.”

“I’m just incredibly proud,” Lovett said. “After what this team has gone through, to have this moment with them is something I’ll cherish forever.”

Per MND state appearance tradition head coach Chris Lovett and assistants Joe Burke, Kevin Brandner and Tom Broe with the lone exception being former MND standout Dani Szczepanski.

Padua Franciscan fi nishes as a state runner-up for the third consecutive year with a fi nal record of 21-1. After a blistering win in the opener, the Bruins seemed stunned by MND’s ferocious comeback.

“We’ve always done best as the underdogs,” senior middle blocker Sarah Spatz said. “When we lost that fi rst I wasn’t that worried. We just started having fun in the second, started playing our game and that’s when it switched for us.”

MND never led in the fi rst set as the Bruins jumped out early and eventually built an insurmountable doubledigit lead. Captain Maria Futey had fi ve kills while MND’s Carly Hendrickson had six. Despite some timeouts to regroup, the Cougars couldn’t recover and lost 25-14.

The Cougars fl ipped the script in the second game with their 25-14 demonstrative response. Much like the fi rst, MND led wire-to-wire. Hendrickson hammered home the game-winner like a downward bazooka to the kisser.

McBride also had some key points.

“For being 5-9, she gets up there higher than anyone,” Lovett said of McBride. “She had nine kills and no er-

rors in 19 attempts. That’s absolutely incredible for an outside hitter.”

The third game was over in 18 minutes. There were fi ve ties, but after Padua called a timeout down 14-9, MND brought it home on an 11-3 run to win 2512.

The fourth set was predictably tighter, but from a timeout at 20-18 the Cougars delivered fi ve straight points to send nine seniors out on the highest of notes.

“I’m retiring,” defensive specialist Anna Currin joked.

The team was aff ected by what Currin’s family had to endure in September when her brother, Michael, a Moeller grad and Dayton student died in an unresolved incident on the UD campus.

With his passing, she followed his mantra and that of her late father who died running a road race 10 years ago.

Michael Currin’s death was a heavy infl uence on the Moeller and MND communities.

“That was another obstacle we had to go over, but in the long run I think it made us a stronger team,” Currin said.

“That made us stronger mentally and physically because you have to pick each other up.”

Anna Currin mentioned Michael’s role on the last two Moeller basketball teams that lost just one game and how it translated to her teammates at MND. “He said, ‘Keep going!” a lot,” Currin said. “That’s something we said on the court; keep going, keep going, keep going. Our word for this year was ‘persevere’ and I think we did just that.”

MND’s season ends at 23-2. It was their 16th trip to the state semifi nals. As their cheering section often proclaims, they’ve got spirit. Yes, they do.

La Salle football falls in state semis Shelby Dermer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

UNION COUNTY — La Salle football’s bid to capture back-to-back Division II state championships for the third time this decade came to an end Nov. 13 after a 14-10 loss to Massillon Washington at Marysville’s Impact Stadium.

La Salle did not trail once during the fi rst 37-plus minutes, but Massillon Washington quarterback Zach Catrone connected on a 48-yard touchdown to wide receiver Martavien Johnson with 2:13 remaining, which turned out to be the game-winner.

“We just didn’t have anybody deep. It’s one breakdown and the only one we had all night,” La Salle head coach Pat McLaughlin said of the game-winning score.

La Salle started its last-ditch drive at its own 20. After a fi rst down, the Tigers’ defense forced four consecutive incompletions to seal their spot in the Division II state championship game against Archbishop Hoban at The Fortress — Obetz.

Revenge was achieved for Massillon Washington, which lost last year’s D-II state fi nal to La Salle by double digits. La Salle fi nishes the year 8-3. The Lancers won their fi fth regional championship in seven seasons.

“It’s one of those things that’s gonna hurt for a long time,” McLaughlin said.

After the 35-10 win over Winton Woods in the regional fi nal, McLaughlin told reporters that quarterback Zach Branam was one of the best he had ever coached and that he should be in the running to be named the Division II player of the year.

Branam turned in an accolade-worthy

performance Nov. 13 and was working without two of his top play-makers on offense in coveted junior running back Gi’Bran Payne and University of Alabama commit Devonta Smith.

Branam ran 25 times for a game-high 150 yards, marking the fi fth time in six games he eclipsed 100 yards on the ground. The senior raced 76 yards on La Salle’s third drive of the game, then called his own number on third-and-goal with a 1-yard touchdown that put the Lancers up 7-0 with 20 seconds left in the fi rst quarter.

That drive was set up by Branam, who also played safety Nov. 13 with the absensce of Smith. Branam tracked down a deep ball and made an interception to

thwart an early Massillon Washington scoring opportunity.

“That’s what we expect out of (Branam),” McLaughlin said. “He gets an interception, gets a couple of tackles — he had to play defense so I don’t know if that had an eff ect on off ense or not, but he’s a warrior.”

Branam’s interception may have been the game’s only takeaway, but the night was dominated by defense as the teams combined for eight punts and three turnovers on downs.

La Salle’s defense allowed 14 points or less for the fourth time in fi ve games. The Lancers keyed in on Massillon Washington wide receiver Jayden Ballard, limiting the Ohio State commit to just one catch

for fi ve yards on three targets.

Massillon Washington’s off ense found some momentum in the second quarter on a nine-play, 75-yard drive. The Tigers’ converted on third-and-19 on a 34-yard reception by tight end Caiden Woullard, setting up senior Jumacius Portis’ threeyard touchdown run that made it 7-7 going into the half.

“The defense played well enough for us to win,” McLaughlin said. “... 14 points, we should’ve scored enough points to win, we just didn’t get the run game going early on.”

The run game picked up for La Salle late in the third quarter. The Lancers started at their own 12-yard line, then embarked on a 16-play drive consisting of just run plays from Branam and running back Jack Rutz. The 72-yard march chewed up over nine minutes of clock and set up Mason Luensman’s go-ahead 32-yard fi eld goal that made it 10-7 with 7:57 remaining.

La Salle would force a punt on Massillon Washington’s ensuing possession, but couldn’t run off the fi nal four minutes of regulation. After an 18-yard punt, the Tigers’ immediately struck with their longest play of the night to stun the defending Division II champs.

“These seniors, they’re champions — GCL champions, state champions, regional champions and champions in the classroom,” McLaughlin said. “Our guys battled all year and we’ll come back stronger next year.”

Wyoming football suff ers fi rst loss in state semi Scott Springer Cincinnati Enquirer USA TODAY NETWORK

PIQUA - Back in a state semifi nal for a third straight year and minus an Ohio Mr. Football, Wyoming High School nearly pulled it off Nov. 14. Five seconds into the fourth quarter they scored to break a tie at 14, but the extra point was missed.

Quickly Van Wert responded with a score and conversion to go up 21-20 and the Cowboys couldn’t add anything from there.

Owen Treece had a late touchdown that put the Cougars up 28-20, and a fi nal Cowboy drive ended with Van Wert’s Connor Pratt picking off quarterback Brennan Pagan.

Van Wert went to the victory formation and Wyoming went home with its fi rst loss of the season, 28-20.

“We fought ‘til the end and that’s all you can do,” Wyoming coach Aaron Hancock said. “I’m proud of this group and proud of the way they overcame a lot of adversity this year. Not just with the COVID issues, not just with the quarantine issues, not just with the political issues that tend to drag on the fi eld. It’s just a strange 2020.

“The one thing that kept us together and the one thing that will continue to keep us together is football.”

Pagan played courageously in his fi nal Wyoming start, completing 15 of his 26 passes, including eight to his long-distance companion Joop Mitchell, who fi nished with 132 yards receiving. Sophomore C.J. Hester, who had 176 yards last week against Clinton-Massie, was held to 52 on 25 totes.

For victorious Van Wert, quarterback Treece was 13-of-22 passing and also ran for 55 yards and a score.

Wyoming came up with a fourthdown stop on the opening series of the contest, stifl ing Van Wert at the 5-yard line. From there, Pagan directed a 14-play 95-yard drive culminating with Pagan diving in from the left for the early 7-0 lead.

To start the second quarter. Van Wert’s Owen Treece got the Cougars near the goal line with Nate Jackson plowing in to tie. Wyoming responded with another long drive helped by a second long completion from Pagan to Mitchell. Hester scored from three yards out with 5:30 left in the half for the 14-7 lead.

Alas, the elusive Treece would get the Cougars in scoring position again with Jackson plunging in from a yard out once again for the 14-14 halftime tie.

Wyoming dominated possession in the third quarter, running 22 plays to Van Wert’s three. To start the last quarter, Pagan hit Mitchell for a score but the extra point hit the crossbar so the lead was 2014.

That left an opening for Van Wert and Treece responded with a 46-yard scoring pass to Dru Johnson who scampered down the left side and scored. Damon McCracken’s extra point was good and

Van Wert led for the fi rst time at 21-20.

The lead held until Treece scored again in the fi nal minute to provide for the 28-20 fi nal.

It was Wyoming’s fi rst loss since last Nov. 30 when they also fell in the Division IV semifi nal. They haven’t lost a regular-season game since 2015.

“No one was counting on us to be here,” Hancock said. “Every single week we had all these questions and no respect for this team. This team became a fi nal four team. Flat-out, they proved a lot of people wrong. We’re going to continue to surprise some people in the following couple of years.”

Van Wert had knocked out the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in their region to get to Piqua. The least amount of points they had scored coming in was 29. They had scored 90 points in their previous two playoff wins.

Wyoming’s defensive eff ort was the best the Cougars had seen.

Van Wert moved on to play Mentor Lake Catholic Sunday, Nov. 22 at Fortress Obetz in Columbus for the Division IV championship.

Wyoming will regroup and with a young squad should never be counted out on returning, according to Coach Hancock.

“This is a young team and we’ll have a lot of experience for the following couple of years,” Hancock said. “I truly believe the sky’s the limit for this program.”

Caitlin Reid, of Santa Ana, Calif., is the mother of two boys and two girls, ages 4 to 11. Like Margaret Farrar, the first crossword editor of The Times — who was also a busy mother — Caitlin does most of her puzzle work after the rest of the family has gone to bed. That’s when things quiet down. Caitlin is a classically trained pianist who plays at her local church. Her favorite crosswords to make are themeless ones, like today’s, that feature long, fresh, lively vocabulary and lots of humor and playfulness in the clues. This is Caitlin’s ninth crossword for the paper, including a collaboration last Sunday. — W.S.

SCHOOL NEWS Great Oaks’ Nancy Mulvey honored by national school organization Great Oaks Director of Student Services Nancy Mulvey was honored this month with the Distinguished Service Award from NCLA, a national association for career and technical administrators.

She was recognized for her service to caMulvey reer-technical education and for her professional accomplishments.

Mulvey has served the students of Great Oaks Career Campuses for more than 30 years as a math teacher, coun-

selor, career specialist, campus dean, and district administrator.

In her current role as Director of Student Services, she has strengthened both physical health and mental health services for students, led the eff ort to rewrite Board policies, began a summer camp program for younger students, and helped guide the district to record levels of high school enrollment.

The nomination read in part, “Nancy recognizes best practices in the fi eld, and shares, adapts, and improves those practices to benefi t current and future students as well as the organizations she serves. She freely shares her own ideas and innovations and champions those practices that others have developed, for the benefi t

of career-technical education as a whole.”

The award was presented virtually during the NCLA Best Practices Conference, which was held online this year.

Jon Weidlich, Great Oaks Career Campuses

Local historical re-enactor wins National DAR Award On Saturday, Oct. 17, Patsy Gaines of Wyoming was presented with the Women in American History Award from the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Patsy was nominated by Cincinnati Chapter DAR Past Regent Gretchen Wilson, who presented the award in a special ceremony at the Chapter meeting held at the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash. Patsy has lived in the Wyoming area for a number of years. She is renowned as a historical re-enactor, educational storyteller, and presenter.

Since the late 1980s, Patsy has researched, written, produced, and presented in appropriate costume more than 30 historically signifi cant women to schools, churches, historical societies,

and civic and charitable organizations.

Among those she portrays are First Ladies Martha Washington and Caroline Scott Harrison, American fl ag maker Betsy Ross, frontierswoman Rebecca Boone, Kentucky pioneer Jenny Wiley, and Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the fi rst woman to receive a medical degree in the United States.

Dr. Blackwell lived for a time in the Cincinnati area and was a friend of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Patsy has garnered numerous honors for her monologues and presentations, including the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Daughters of Liberty Medal.

Patsy has long supported local educational, religious, historical, civic, and arts communities and organizations through active membership in addition to her monologue presentations. For example, she helped raise funds to purchase a gravestone to mark the Spring Grove Cemetery burial site of Wyoming founder Col. Robert Reilly. A member of the Wyoming Presbyterian Church, she has held several offi ces, was the fi rst female president of its Conference Center, and is a former church elder.

Patsy is a member of fi ve other lineage societies, including the Daughters of the American Colonists, Daughters of 1812, Daughters of both the Union and of the Confederate Veterans, and the Colonial Dames XVII Century, which honors the hardships and heroism of those who sought spiritual and economic freedom in the wilderness of the new world. She has led the DAR in numerous roles, in-

cluding Ohio State Regent and the Cincinnati Chapter Regent.

“Patsy has been and will continue to be a wonderful asset to her community and to the many organizations to which she contributes. Not many people could match what she has done for America’s school children by sharing her vast knowledge of American history,” Gretchen responded when asked why she chose Patsy for special recognition.

Founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., the DAR is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America’s future through better education for children.

DAR members volunteer millions of service hours annually in their local communities including supporting active duty military personnel and assisting veteran patients, awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships and fi nancial aid each year to students, and supporting schools for underserved children with annual donations exceeding one million dollars.
