Licking Heights

May levy seen as short-term solution

By MICHAEL J. MAURER ThisWeek Community Newspapers The Licking Heights Board of Education held a three-and-a-half-hour community meeting March 5 to discuss planned budget cuts of $1.5-million in the district’s $28-million operating budget.

An additional $3.5-million cuts would follow if a May 3 property-tax levy fails.

The board has approved an 11.9-mill operating levy that includes a renewal of an existing 8.92 mills plus an additional 3 mills.

The levy would cost a total of $365 annually per $100,000 of assessed property value. That’s an increase of $113

over the amount currently being collected. City-data.com lists the median home value at about $172,000.

Board president Matt Satterwhite said the levy would be a short-term solution for the district and would provide a budget through the next two years only.

“The plan we put out gets us through fiscal year 2013,” Satterwhite said. “That’s

June 30, 2013. This is not going to last past that point. We’re going to need more operating money. I don’t want anyone to leave with the impression that we’re not going to be back. We will. The way state funding has changed, we cannot stay out four years again.”

Superintendent Thomas Tucker said he expects the district would begin in-

creasing its collaboration with neighboring districts and educational service providers to reduce costs.

“It’s going to look different from how we do business now,” Tucker said. “We’re going to have to work more closely with our neighbors, in terms of offering servSee CUTS, page A2

Mason: Community involvement is key to restaurants’ success

Heath’s Zach Wolfe, right, tries to block Columbus Academy’s Tim Eldridge during the second half of the district final game on March 9 at the Columbus Fairground Coliseum. Heath went on to win the district title, 62-57 in double overtime. See sports, page A7.

Eric Mason, a 1982 graduate of Lakewood High School, did not start out in the restaurant business, but he feels he has found a home there.

Mason began college on a baseball scholarship to the University of Toledo, but after two years he returned to Newark and began work as an assistant golf pro at Little Turtle Country Club. He credits that job with teaching him the value of being open to people.

“It really taught me how to network,” Mason said. “I still have many relationships I made during those years.”

About 15 years ago, through friends he had met at the club, he began working in the mulch business, eventually forming a company he still owns and that brokers much to retailers. That business led him to real estate investments, and that is what

led to restaurant work, when he had an opportunity to open a Skyline Chili in Heath five years ago.

A year later, he and his wife, Angela, saw another real estate opportunity, which opened the door to the couple’s first signature restaurant, The Grill on Twenty First Street.

“I didn’t know a whole lot about the restaurant business, but Angela and I thought we’d create a place we’d like to go ourselves,” Mason said.

“We’ve been fortunate enough it’s worked pretty well for us. I started with a pretty aggressive happy hour to get people in the seats, and people would say, ‘How can you sell drinks so cheap?’ and I’d say we weren’t good enough to charge more yet.”

Early on, Mason found local fundraising to be a good match with the restaurant business.

County offers disaster response training for individuals, businesses CERT classes begin March 22

By MICHAEL J. MAURER

rity grant to provide free training

ThisWeek Community Newspapers around the United States.

The Licking County Community Emergency Response Team held a business-continuity training class March 8, hosting faculty from the Northwest Arkansas Community College who have received a federal Homeland Secu-

“When businesses are affected by disasters, even slightly by a flood, fire, tornado, extended power outage, 29 percent of those businesses end up not reopening,” said Lori Dixon, CERT coordinator for Licking County. “They basically don’t survive the disas-

ter. This training was to assist businesses in writing a business-continuity plan for what to do when disaster strikes.”

One recommended step is to ensure that businesses have alternative locations and plans to operate as normally as they can manage — less than a day after a disaster strikes.

“You may think you’ll survive, but if you’re not up and running within 12 to 24 hours after a dis-

aster but your competitor is up and running, you’ll lose customers,” Dixon said. “It’s the smaller businesses that are most at risk because they are more likely to not be prepared.”

Many businesses have generators for electricity, Dixon said, but they might not have plans for fuel to run the generators. Continuity planning calls for analyzing the risks specific to the business, the likely disasters for the area — in

Pataskala council OKs union contracts ThisWeek Community Newspapers

With no discussion during either its work session or regular council meeting March 7, Pataskala City Council unanimously approved three collective-bargaining agreements.

The deal with the Fraternal Order of Police covers 10 employees; the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association covers two employees; and the United Steelworkers covers 11 employees.

Collective-bargaining agreements during negotiations are not subject to the state’s open-meetings laws or public-records requirements, and it is common for the only public discussion to occur during the approval of the contract by the legislative body.

“Council had an understanding going into the meeting, based on what the negotiations had been,” said Jason Carr, city finance director.

Each agreement was for a three-year term, with a reopener for salary negotiations set for late 2011.

A closer look The deal with the Fraternal Order of Police covers 10 employees; the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association covers two employees; and the United Steelworkers covers 11 employees.

Carr said the essence of the negotiation was that the city sought to increase the employees’ contribution to health insurance to 10 percent, up from 8.5 percent and even 2 percent in some circumstances. The lower options were eliminated those options, and the new contract means all employees must pay 10 percent.

In exchange, the unions sought to have pay increased to cover the increased insurance contribution.

Each individual employee’s pay was adjusted individually, Carr said.

“The administration was trying to get employees to a 10-percent contribution for health, vision and dental,” he said. “In order

to do that, there was an agreement that we would essentially sit down and figure out what the difference in cost would be based on the employee current healthinsurance arrangement and what they would pay under a 10-percent contribution, and how that would impact their wages. The change might have been $100 for one employee and $1,000 for someone else. It depended on the type of plan and how much they were making.”

On average, pay increased by 4 percent under the contracts, he said.

“Some employees saw something less, and some saw something more,” Carr said. “There would not be a significant difference in take-home pay.”

Carr said the change was driven in response to criticisms about the difference in public-sector and private-sector benefits.

“You hear about the disparity, not just in Pataskala but in all governments, between what local governments contribute to health insurance and what the private sector contributes to health insurance,” Carr said. “It’s a

statewide issue.”

In other business council approved an agreement with Licking County, under which the city would take exclusive operation of a jointly operated water system at Beechwood Trails.

City administrator Tim Boland said failing to bring the subdivision into the city system would create a deficit in the city waterfunding scheme, forcing a rate increase to other residents. ““With the new graduated rate system in place and Beechwood Trails removed from the system, the city would be operating in a deficit in one year,” Boland said.

“If Beechwood Trails was not served by the city, was not part of the utility structure, the city would have three options: to raise water rates 25 percent immediately over and above the current rates; or, two, postpone all capital improvement projects for three years; or raise rates 10 percent across the board and postpone (capital improvements) projects for one year.”

Beechwood Trails represents about 25 percent of the city’s customer base for water service.

College notes Ashland University has announced its fall 2010 dean’s list.

Newark residents named to the list were Ellen Blowers, Amanda Gulley and Joanna Villinger.

Joshua Allman of Pataskala was also named to the list.

To be eligible for this honor, students must achieve at least a 3.5 grade-point average.

Central Ohio Technical College has announced the names of local residents who completed the Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic certificate program in December.

From Newark, they are Andrew Bero, Nathan Bryan, Sherman Carpenter, Nicholas Rhodes and Jeffrey Ward.

From Pataskala, they are Jason Chevalier,Adam Clark and Dustin Herb.

Chad Chenault of Utica also completed the program.

“The community involvement has also been a big part of our growth,” Mason said. “As an individual restaurant owner, we don’t have the luxury of the national advertising like a Texas Roadhouse or an Applebee’s. We have to create our own identity.”

The Grill has hosted as many as 2,000 people during fundraisers, Mason said.

“I’ve enjoyed helping people raise money for all kinds of different things, from sports teams to hospice to churches to school bands,” he said. “We have events at The Grill on Sundays where they’ll sell tickets and then they keep 70 percent of the proceeds.

We have three or four fundraising events a month for different organizations.”

Among groups participating in fundraisers in coming weeks are Crime Stoppers, baseball teams from Utica and Heath and the Licking Valley After-Prom Committee.

He also sponsors Little League teams, such as North Newark Little League’s The Grill.

“It’s a natural fit,” Mason said.

“Everybody likes to eat. With all

the pay-to-play and the struggles of the schools, it’s nice to be able to raise some money for them.”

The Grill also has been expanding, branching out to The Grill at The Works Deli and Catering in 2009, which opened at The Works in downtown Newark. In September 2010, Mason and his wife opened The Grill’s Chop House in downtown Newark, taking over the location of longtime favorite Natoma restaurant at 10 N. Park Place.

“I was approached by the building owner and some of the local business people who wanted to see the downtown prosper, and they said they thought it would be a nice place for us,” Mason said. “We had been guilty of going to Easton and places like that when we wanted something upscale, and so that’s what we tried to do. We came up with the tagline, ‘affordable elegance,’ and I think we succeeded. It’s been very well-received.”

More is coming this year, Mason said, when he expects The Waterfront Grill to open in Buckeye Lake. The three-story, 12,000-square-foot facility will feature a 200-person banquet room on the lakefront.

CUTS Continued from page A1 ices.”

Planned cuts totaling $1.5-million include $483,000 in general expenses, primarily in reduced Educational Service Center costs; $455,000 in certified teaching staff; $259,000 in classified staff; and $190,000 in eliminated benefits.

If the levy fails, cuts in general expenses would rise to $682,000; certified staff cuts to $2.27-million; classified staff cuts to $1.04million; $302,000 in administrative staff; and $380,000 in busing.

Board members also discussed future building plans, noting that the Ohio School Facilities Commission probably would make money available to the district in the next two or three years under the state’s Classroom Facilities Assistance Program.

TRAINING Bring this ad on any Saturday in March after 3pm & get Continued from page A1 open their doors immediately, and the community knows to gather at the church,” Dixon said. “But what do you do if the church has burned down or been blown away and is not there? Churches need to be able to continue worship services and community programs, and they don’t think to prepare for this.”

The March 8 workshop was the first offered in Licking County, Dixon said, and she hopes to offer the program again in 2012.

For the past three years, since she became CERT coordinator, Dixon also has offered individual emergency training for CERT volunteers to learn what to do in their homes and neighborhoods when disaster hits. The movement started in the 1980s, Dixon said, when California saw several high-profile earthquakes.

“People were dying because the first-responders could not get to them fast enough; they were so overwhelmed,” Dixon said. “This teaches people how to hold down the fort until the first-responders

get there.”

The rule of thumb within the emergency-response community is that individuals should plan to survive on their own for 72 hours.

“You need to be able to hold your own for three days,” Dixon said. “Do you have food and water? Do you have a to-go kit so if you have to leave your house, you can just pick it up and go? Do you have a communication plan in case cell towers are down? How will you contact members of your family?

Can you survive without electricity? Do you have enough medication on hand?”

Individual CERT-training classes will be offered starting March 23 in Pataskala at Central Ohio Technical College and March 24 at First Presbyterian Church in Newark. Attendees at each location will begin at 6:30 pm and participate in one class each week for eight weeks, for a total of 20 hours of training that will include lectures and practice.

“We will actually practice the things we learn,” Dixon said. “This is how you shut off your gas meter.

We’ll have a meter there and you can practice turning it off and practice turning off your electric panel, and first aid — how you stop bleeding — things like that.”

CERT volunteer and board member Sam Skaggs said more than 120 people have been trained in the county, and 60 to 70 CERT members are active and respond to weather events and other community-service needs.

Skaggs said CERT training begins in the home and expands outward to the larger community.

“There are tiers,” Skaggs said.

“You start off with what you do with your family in your home if the power is out or there is an emergency, what kind of things do you need in your home for your family to survive the first 72 hours or so. Then it goes to your neighborhood. What can you do to help them? Then it goes to the community, your city. How can you help people get around and conduct business? Then it goes to the county. We can move CERT people from city A to city B to assist them.” www.ThisWeekNews.com

American Legion looking to replace weathered flags

By JENNA GANT

old one down, put the new one residents replacing older, worn

ThisWeek Community Newspapers up and properly dispose of the flags as a sign of respect.

Johnstown American Legion Post 254 is working with the village to replace all weathered American flags throughout town.

“Some of us noticed flags looking not very good, either faded out or looking ragged.” Said Bruce Tolle, commander of Post 254.

Tolle said he’s been working with village council member David Keck since January “to see what could be done as a joint project.”

The two are planning a new endeavor called the “flag replacement program.”

Tolle said residents, through the village, could ask for a new flag at the cost the legion pays for an American flag.

Neighbors could also let the village know if they see a flag that needs to be replaced.

“All they need to do is find out the address, on the mailbox or whatever it might be, and tell the city (Johnstown) and the city will send out a letter,” Tolle said.

The letter would ask residents if they want to take advantage of the program.

“We’ll come out and take the

Denison

old one for you,” Tolle said.

He said they are still deciding how to implement the program.

“I’m firmly convinced that people who fly flags are patriotic and what happens, I think, is they hang the flag up and then they walk past it back and forth every day and never look up and they don’t realize that it’s gotten all faded, all ragged and they don’t really notice it,” Tolle said.

He said the letter would be a polite way to replace the worn out flags.

“Anyone that would fly a flag would not, I believe, say ‘I don’t care if it does look terrible,’” he said. “I can’t believe anyone who would fly a flag would feel that way.”

Tolle said veterans feel awful when they see battered flags flying in the wind.

“It just tears your heartstrings,” he said. “Our enemies like it when we have bad looking flags. That makes them think that we have no patriotism, we have no pride in our land and the USA.” Tolle said Johnstown residents are patriotic and do a good job honoring veterans. He just wants

Parents’ Night Out set for March 25

The performance of Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer and Zakir Hussain on Saturday, March 26, will conclude the 31st season of Denison University’s Vail Series.

Fleck, on banjo, Meyer on bass fiddle and Hussain, on tabla (an Indian percussion instrument) will play a program of classical, bluegrass and world music.

“There may be some people who are in poor health or elderly and maybe it’s difficult for them to get out and take the flags up or down,” he said.

Tolle said that’s why he believes the program would be a success.

He said residents could save $10 or so by buying a flag through the legion. The flags would cost anywhere from $15 to $26.50 for a typical residential flag. Larger sizes would also be available for businesses.

“Even if they didn’t save any money, we’ll take down their old one and put the new one up for them,” Tolle said.

He said it would be a good deal either way as “it will be a good looking flag instead of one that looks bad.”

Tolle said once the program is implemented, residents should let the village know if he or she is interested or forward the addresses of homes needing a replaced flag.

Tolle wants to start the program within the next few weeks “so any flags that need replaced will get replaced before Memorial Day this year.”

Watkins Memorial Roundup

Girls look to build on strong second half

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

The Watkins Memorial High School girls basketball team finally put it together during the second half of the season.

The Warriors split their final 10 regular-season games following an 0-10 start in which they lost twice in overtime. That included a 93-90, five-overtime loss to Beechcroft on Dec. 20. The Bearcats went on to post a 12-9 record, which included a victory in the Divi-

sion II district tournament. Entering that game, the Warriors were 0-5 and had been outscored by an average of 24.4 points.

“I think that was a turning point,” sophomore point guard Melinda Nickel said.

Still, coach Kyle Oyster called a meeting after the Warriors lost 48-45 to Mount Vernon in overtime on Jan. 3, and the team responded by winning its next two games, defeating Franklin Heights 6739 on Jan. 7 and Johnstown 54-51 four days later. The Warriors picked up an-

other win when Nickel scored 14 points in a 47-37 victory over Licking Heights on Jan. 29, and they earned consecutive wins again by defeating Mount Vernon 48-42 on Feb. 8 and Franklin Heights 62-35 in the regular-season finale on Feb. 11.

“We’ve definitely got some momentum heading into next year,” Oyster said.

Watkins Memorial finished 5-16 overall with a 59-26 loss to ninth-seeded Upper Arlington in a Division I firstround tournament game on Feb. 24. They went 3-11 in the OCC-Capital Division

to tie Mount Vernon for sixth, finishing behind Olentangy Orange (13-1), Hilliard Bradley (12-2), New Albany (10-4), Big Walnut (9-5) and Delaware (6-8) and ahead of Franklin Heights (1-13).

Nickel, who was the team’s leading scorer (11.2 points per game), made second-team all-league while senior guard Kim Coyle was honorable mention.

The Warriors will lose five seniors, including leading rebounder Mallory Warrington (8.0 per game). The other seniors are guards Randi Casto and Kayla Zellers and forward Logan Visnick.

“Hopefully, these seniors have set a tone,” Oyster said. “Now we’ve got to go build on what they helped establish.”

Matthea Tenwalde, a 6-foot-1 junior post player, is expected to return next season. The roster also featured sophomores Brittany Bonder, Shelby Jude, Brynna Pack and Kaitlyn Welker and freshman Monica Foutty.

Commentary

Liberty overcame several obstacles Anthony Bergamesca clutched the district championship trophy tightly to his chest as he skated off the ice March 5 at the Dispatch Ice Haus. Moments earlier, the defenseman for the Olentangy Liberty High School hockey team nearly had fallen with the award.

Bergamesca is one of nine seniors for the SCOTT Patriots, who defeated Dublin HENNEN Jerome 3-2 in double overtime to earn the program’s first state tournament berth in only their fourth varsity season.

He and the other seniors — defensemen Keaton Allmaras, Robert Koehler and Alec Vidrick, forwards Mitch Helton, Mike Mullier, Jimmy Ruska and Grant Woods, and goaltender Bryan Finneran — helped lay the groundwork for the program three years ago as freshmen and their dedication has been rewarded with a trip to the final four.

The Patriots were 27-8-1 before playing top-ranked Toledo St. Francis in a state semifinal March 12. The state championship will be played at noon Sunday, March 13, at Nationwide Arena.

“Yeah, I almost fell with (the trophy), but I wasn’t letting that happen,” Bergamesca said.

“We’ve gone through so much to get here.”

The Patriots lost several players to injury this season, including Helton to a knee injury in the preseason and Woods to a shoulder injury in January. More recently, junior forward Nick Ramsey was lost to a leg injury that required surgery and junior forward Reed Slinger was lost to a neck injury, which he sustained when his head struck the ice during a 5-0 win over Troy in the second round of the district tournament Feb. 20 at the Ice Haus.

“When Reed was injured, it affected all of us, watching him taken off the ice on a stretcher,” said Bergamesca, the team captain. “Reed has always been one of the players who was always there to pick us up on the ice and it really fired us up when he got hurt. We want to do well for Reed and everyone else who helped us get here but won’t be able to play. We want to do well for them.”

“It sounds like a broken record, but the kids always come out and play as hard as they can,” fourthyear coach Jack Hoogeveen said.

“The (district final) could have gone either way, and that showed because it went two overtimes.”

The school has had only one other team reach a state semifinal since opening in the fall of 2003. The boys lacrosse team made it to the Division II state final in 2006, losing to North Canton Hoover 15-8.

That occurred a year and a half before the hockey program’s first varsity season.

Members of the Heath boys basketball team celebrate March 9 after defeating Columbus Academy 62-57 in double overtime to win a Division III district title.

Prep Notes

Heath tops Academy in district final

By KURTIS ADAMS ThisWeek Community Newspapers

Senior point guard Jordan Crabill and his Heath High School boys basketball teammates aren’t ready to spring forward just yet.

Baseball and the other spring sports will have to wait now that the Bulldogs are preparing to play in the Division III regional tournament at Kettering Fairmont.

“Hopefully, we’ve got four games and a couple of weeks of basketball left,” Crabill, who plays second base for the baseball team, said after top-seeded Heath defeated Columbus Academy 62-57 in double overtime in a district final March 9 in the Fairgrounds Coliseum.

The Bulldogs, who improved to 18-5, will face Cincinnati Summit Country Day in a regional semifinal at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 16. The winner advances to play either Cincinnati Taft or Cincinnati

Clark Montessori in a regional championship game at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 19.

Summit Country Day is 20-3 following a 54-36 victory over Jamestown Greeneview in a district final March 10. Sophomore Kevin Johnson scored 17 points while senior Ryan Glass had 14. The guards average 14.3 and 12.3 points, respectively.

Taft, which is 23-1, was the top-ranked team in the final state poll. The Senators defeated Waynesville 108-75 in a district final March 10 as junior forward Adolphus Washington had 17 points and 11 rebounds.

They’ve defeated four postseason opponents by an average margin of 52.2 points.

Heath won a district championship for the second time in school history. The other came in 1992.

“I feel about 70 years old right now,” second-year coach Devin Fulk said. “We never got comfortable out there.”

Despite a strong presence inside, the

Bulldogs shot 42.9 percent from the field (24 of 56) and 45.8 percent from the free throw-line (11 of 24). They also committed 19 turnovers.

Winning came down to intangibles, Fulk said.

“When I got here, a lot of these guys didn’t understand what toughness and heart were all about,” he said. “But tonight we showed people.”

The Bulldogs, who shoot 52 percent at the free-throw line overall, converted their chances when it mattered most. They made seven of 10 in the second overtime and seized the lead for good when Roger Gleckler, a 6-foot-4 senior who was the MSLOhio Division’s Player of the Year, converted both of his attempts for a 56-55 advantage with 2 minutes, 49 seconds remaining. Zach Wolfe added two more on the next possession and Crabill followed by making one of two attempts as Heath’s lead grew to 59-55 with 1:19 to play.

That was the largest advantage held by either team since the Bulldogs led 30-24 early in the third quarter. The game featured 15 lead changes and six ties.

Trailing 60-57, the sixth-seeded Vikings had a chance to force a third overtime when Tim Eldridge missed a 3-point attempt in the closing seconds. Gleckler rebounded and tossed an outlet pass to Wolfe, who found Jalen Daniels for a layup to complete the scoring.

Eldridge missed two free throws with 1 second remaining in regulation, but he atoned for that by driving for a tying basket as the first overtime ended.

Academy, which also lost twice to Heath during the regular season, finished 17-6.

Gleckler had 19 points and nine rebounds to lead the Bulldogs. Wolfe (13 points, 14 rebounds) and Rodney Porter (10 points, 12 rebounds) had double-doubles, and See NOTES, page A8

Wrestling coach pleased with most of season

Urbana bound Licking Heights senior Tevyn Young signs his letter of intent to play football at NCAA Division II Urbana University during a Feb. 24 ceremony at the high school attended by his mother, Barbara Meyer, and Urbana assistant head coach/defensive coordinator David Barr.

Licking Heights High School wrestler Josiah Dunlap’s career might not have ended at the Division II state tournament.

The senior is weighing his options as far as competing in college. Several Division II and III schools have made contact with the two-time state qualifier, coach Bo Ramsey said, and at least one Division I program has shown interest.

Ramsey also noted that senior Jason Maynard is planning to attend Ohio Northern University and might try to walk on with the wrestling team.

Both went 0-2 at the state tournament, which was held March

The Warriors finished 2-19 overall with a 99-34 loss to topseeded Westerville South in a Division I first-round tournament game on Feb. 25. They went 113 in the OCC-Capital to tie Franklin Heights for seventh place behind New Albany (13-1), Delaware (11-3), Mount Vernon (10-4), Olentangy Orange (9-5), Hilliard Bradley (7-7) and Big Walnut (4-10).

“We pulled a lot of freshmen and sophomores up,” second-year coach Erin Woody said. “We were quite young by the time we finished.”

Kevin Crawford, a 6-4 junior

Classmates Brady Coward, Chase Dupps and Taylor Fuss also are expected to return along with freshman point guard Zach Lescalleet.

Dupps scored 17 points in a 40-37 win over Franklin Heights on Feb. 11 while Fuss had 14 in a 69-61 victory over Lakewood on Dec. 13.

The roster also featured 6-2 freshman wing player Hunter Holton in addition to sophomores Zac May, Jim Krebs and Thomas O’Sickey.

NOTES Continued from page A7 Daniels (12 points) was especially effective late after Porter fouled out in the final seconds of regulation.

The Bulldogs were playing their third overtime game in less than three weeks, each of which carried heavy implications. They defeated Newark Catholic 55-54 in the regular-season finale Feb. 18 to tie Granville for first place in the MSL-Ohio and eliminated Ready 50-46 in three overtimes in a second-round tournament game Feb. 26.

“In football, a lot of it is men-

tal toughness,” said Gleckler, who helped the Bulldogs go 10-2 last fall and qualify for the Division IV playoffs.

“You have to move on from each play, and that translates to basketball.”

•WRESTLING — It’s no surprise senior Travis Drumm was Heath’s top finisher at the Division III state tournament March 3-5 at Ohio State. He advanced to a championship semifinal and placed fifth at 215 pounds to finish with a 34-3 record and 160 career victories.

Senior Dom Barlow placed seventh at 152, finishing 30-5 with

168 career victories. Classmate Mason Robinson went 0-2, but he finished 50-7 and departs having tied Barlow for the school’s career wins record.

In Division II, Lakewood’s Delane King placed fifth at 171 and Licking Valley’s Chase Redman was eighth at 215.

“Of our three guys, Travis was the most focused,” Heath coach Roger Morgan said. “If he didn’t think he had a legitimate shot at winning (state), he wouldn’t be here.”

HORNETS Continued from page A7 very interested in pursuing that.”

Maynard, a four-year varsity starter, finished with a 40-8 record at 140 pounds and won 107 career matches despite missing much of his sophomore season with a hamstring injury. He was a four-time district qualifier.

Dunlap finished 24-8 at 125 and won 52 matches as a twoyear starter, including one at state as a junior. He missed time in December and January because of injuries and an illness.

Price, meanwhile, headlines the list of returning wrestlers for the Hornets, who advanced three individuals to state for a second consecutive season. Six wrestlers have combined for 11 state berths since 2005-06, when then-freshman Chandler Jones made the first of his four appearances. The program produced just one state qualifier, Josh Joseph in 200203, from 1996-2005.

Price, also a two-time state qualifier who was ranked first at his weight in the district coaches poll throughout the regular season, finished 40-8 at 112. His career record now stands at 11526. He probably has no chance of catching Jones, who won a school-record 178 matches, but with another solid season, Price could finish second in career victories. Eric Wolfe, a 2010 graduate, won 151 matches. Price also is on track to become a four-

be a championship team after qualifying for the NCAA tournament as a player at Niagara (N.Y.) University in 2003-04 by winning a College Hockey America conference title. He then played for the Fayetteville (N.C.) Fireantz when they won the Southern Professional League championship.

“It takes a special group of kids to battle through a season of injuries and tough games to make it this far,” Kormanyos said.

“This is a special group of kids.”

In the district final, sophomore forward Ethan Hollingsworth passed the puck to sophomore forward Marshall Oja, who scored 52 seconds into the second OT to secure the final four berth.

“It’s all really overwhelming,” Hollingsworth said when asked about playing in front of a standing room-only crowd at the Ice Haus for the district final. “They gave us a lot of adrenaline and kept us pumped up from the beginning.”

time champion at the Licking County Invitational.

“Overall, we had a pretty good season,” Ramsey said. “I have no complaints how we wrestled in January and February. Unfortunately, February had to turn into March.”

The team’s struggles at the state tournament mirrored those of central Ohio as a whole.

Despite winning the district team title Feb. 25-26 at Columbus East, Olentangy failed to crack the top 10 at state. The Braves totaled 36 points to place 13th as St. Paris Graham (230.5) rolled to its 11th consecutive championship. The Central District had no finalists in Division II, and it produced only two state champions in Hilliard Davidson’s Chase Delande (145, Division I) and Galion Northmor’s Tyler Heminger (119, Division III).

“There’s a lot of discussion going on right now in central Ohio,” Ramsey said. “We’re playing a constant catch-up game with the Northeast District and some of the other areas. Maybe wrestling’s just now quite the lifestyle here that it is in other parts of the state.

“Some people have chalked it up to inexperience, but that wasn’t the case for our guys.

Two of them had been there before. It was just a rough weekend for us.”

lie Howard (160), who placed fifth at the home sectional Feb. 19 and was a district alternate as Licking Heights finished seventh (117.5) behind champion Licking Valley (222.5). The Hornets placed 10th (60.5) at the district tournament behind Olentangy (158.5). They went 3-1 at the MSL-Cardinal Division tournament on Feb. 12 as West Jefferson (4-0) captured the title.

Junior Kevin Yeager, a twotime district qualifier, will return next season after finishing 30-9 at 171. He’s won 53 matches the past two seasons. The sectional lineup also included sophomores Steven Clum (189) and Michael Zaky (heavyweight) and freshmen Josh Derenburger (130) and A.J. Velasquez (215).

Sophomore Andrew Bailey (130) went 7-4, but he missed the second half of the season with an injury.

“There were a lot of crazy things that went on this year,” Ramsey said. “It was like the plague hit us in December, but still getting three guys to state was pretty nice.”

•Girls basketball player Chelsea Dunkle, a 5-foot-8 sophomore forward, has been named honorable mention all-league and honorable mention all-District 10. She averaged 8.3 points for the Hornets, who finished 417 overall. kadams@thisweeknews.com www.ThisWeekSPORTS.com
