Crusaders for life march on Washington Photo by Aaron Wheeler ‘13

“We weren’t getting the right amount of (media) coverage.”

- Ryan Rinn ‘13

By Jared Kroger ‘13 Crusader Managing Editor Forty Moeller students and five teacherchaperones marched on the streets of our nation’s capital during a frigid afternoon on January 26, to raise awareness for the millions of unborn children lost to abortion in America.The group spent a day touring and visiting monuments in Washington and were on the move in D.C. from early Thursday morning to late Friday evening after the march.

Despite single digit temperatures on Friday afternoon, an estimated half million pro-life supporters marched the five blocks past the capital building, some brandishing signs, stickers, and even an elaborate balloon float that a pro-life group from Chicago carried.

The annual March decries the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling in Roe v.

Wade in 1973, when the Court ruled abortion constitutional by the citizen’s right to privacy.

Despite the massive crowd and the importance of the issue in the United States political landscape, there was something significant missing from the picture: the television media. While Moeller students were marching, many couldn’t help but note the absence of cable news networks, notably CNN and MSNBC, among others.

“Even with all of the people, and I’m guessing there were around half million pro-life supporters, there were hardly any media covering the March,” said Moeller

senior Andrew Cobb.

The only notable news outlets visibly present at the event were Fox News and EWTN, a Catholic news network.

“It bothered me to know that while all of these people are here marching for a noteworthy cause in our own capital, one of the major media markets of the country, we weren’t getting the right amount of coverage,” senior Ryan Rinn explained.

While the television cameras weren’t focused on the massive march, social media became the outlet of choice for the marchers. #MarchforLife was a trending topic on Twitter for most of the afternoon as march-

ers whipped out their smart phones and tweeted away about the event.

Junior Boston Edgar said, “It felt like 80-90 percent of the crowd were kids our age from all over the country. It felt like a high school rally.”

The most popular sign around the crowd was one that read, “I am the ProLife Generation,” emphasizing the youth movement in the rally.

Even the tech-savvy Pope Benedict XVI tweeted about the March saying, “I join all those marching for life from afar, and pray that political leaders will protect the unborn and promote a culture of life.”

Making the Grade

UA All the Way

MND’s Caring Cougars

Ursuline or MND? There isn’t a clear question to this common question around Moeller High School.

It’s like asking a guy if he prefers wearing boxers or briefs. No wrong answer. Both are simply different styles, and guys have different preferences.

While undergarments aren’t exactly like institutions for college prep, it makes sense. UA and MND are both Catholic and all girls, but as every Moeller student knows, there is a decidedly different flavor to each school.

Every other GCL South school has a clear “sister” school, LaSalle with McAuley, Elder with Seton, and St. X with St. Ursula. Moeller’s sister, however, is not as clearcut. Both MND and Ursuline have outstanding students deserving to be partnered with Moeller, but here’s why UA wins.

Ursuline boasts that they provide “Voices, Values, and Visions” for their students. That mission statement seems to have carried over to the students outside of school.

The girls from Ursuline I know are extremely well-spoken and can handle themselves in any situation. I want a girl who has a “Voice” and has her own ideas on subjects without being afraid to say them.

While Ursuline girls are remarkably intelligent and opinionated, they are also very easy to talk to and all have different personalities. I know and hang out with MND girls as well, but I don’t get the same hilarious, engaging, and unforgettable experiences.

Nothing against MND girls, but I feel as if the difference in atmosphere and personality of UA is much more beneficial for Moeller guys. The MND dynamic is just about the same as Moeller’s, and there is nothing wrong with a little change of pace.

Moeller and MND are both strong academic schools, but the media and the public know both schools as athletic powerhouses in multiple sports that are well covered in the local press. We are both known as the “jock” schools of our GCL division Ursuline also has a strong athletic program, but by no means is that what most people think of first. Ursuline is more known for the girls that are ridiculously smart, artsy, and really successful. I think those are the types of girls that Moeller needs in a sister school, one that is different in a variety of ways but still complementary.

MND, on the other hand, just gives us another Moeller High School with that same jocky kind of feel, but with girls. I just don’t want to feel like I am hanging with the same kind of people I’m with seven hours a day, five days a week.

While MND is a great school with talented students and superb facilities, Ursuline should definitely be our primary sister school. The difference is in Ursuline’s overall school attitude and atmosphere, which would make for the best partnership between schools.

Between the great relationships and friendships that a lot of Moeller students already have with Ursuline students, UA, with its voices, values, and vision, is definitely the way to go.

To examine the differences between Mount Notre Dame girls and Ursuline girls, I must first state that Chess Team success every girl is beautiful in her own way -- most of the Crusaders chessmen time at least. have a legitimate shot at With MND’s recent success in a number of winning at state this year! sports, most notably volleyball and basketball, their school alone could carry the United States in the Rio Olympics -- well, as long as MND isn’t the victim of an upset again.

But it isn’t just sports that MND girls have going for them. With numerous social justice groups and mission trips, you can practically see the halo glowing over the complex. Everybody knows that beauty is within a woman, not on the outside.

While certainly every rose has its thorns, most of the kind, caring, and passionate women at MND have pure and beautiful souls that just want to New freshmen tablets spread love and happiness throughout the Greater Moeller is looking highCincinnati area. tech as ever with these bad

Mount Notre Dame trains girls to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Excelling in athletics, spirituality, and kindness, these young women are truly inspirational to all.

The Mount also sends its bravest and most fiercely trained girls to aid our boys on the intense battlefield where Ultimate Frisbee takes place.

Sharing sweat, pain, and beautiful glory, they fight alongside our student athletes to bring home a win.

When we need some time to discuss our faith and beliefs, MND girls are always there to listen to us in LIFE group meetings. The feelings of bonding with them over religious values and having a shoulder to cry on are truly irreplaceable.

When our swim team needs aid in a pool full of sharks, MND swimmers swoop in to save the day and don’t leave the pool without making Missy Franklin look like a beginner.

Overall, Mount Notre Dame trains girls to be the leaders of tomorrow. Excelling in athletics, spirituality, and kindness, these young women are truly inspirational to all.

They are role models for all girls in the greater Cincinnati area. Doesn’t it make sense then that Moeller High School should officially adopt Mount Notre Dame as its sister school?

With this kind of official allegiance, our two schools could then work closely together on various endeavors. Long live a Crusader-Cougar Coalition.

Extreme makeover: Moeller hallway edition Locker removal would free up hundreds of feet of wall space and ease congestion

By Kyle Zimmerman Crusader Editior-in-Chief I have used a school-issued locker one time in my Moeller career. Freshman year I was walking by the second floor bathroom with a Powerade in my hand, and I used a locker to hide it before Mr. Kindt could give me a detention.

With Mr. Collison acting as Ty Pennington, minus the tacky soul patch, the halls of Moeller High School could receive an extreme makeover from dreary corridors of the 1960’s to spirit-filled halls of the twenty-first century.

not removing the lockers because the removal of the lockers would not cost any money. If Mr. Gilronan sent out a “Service Opportunity” email offering service hours to students who help remove the lockers, he would have about fifty earnest freshmen begging to help.

In my experiences as an open house tour guide, it is embarrassing and, most of all, awkward to take false pride in our school’s desolate hallways.

Now it’s time to move on. Plus, with a majority of Moeller’s student-athletes using athletic locker rooms to store their gear we just don’t need them.

The lockers’ offenses go beyond their appearance.

In the warm months, their distinct odor couples with the stench of 900 sweaty teenagers to create a funk eerily similar to that of the elephant house at the zoo.

Imagine sweaty socks, old paperbacks, spilled Coke, and stale Doritos brewing during the hot summer months. That is what the inside of a Moeller locker smells like.

If the lockers are removed, not only will the hallways be less congested, but hundreds of feet of wall space will be made available to enhance the appearance of Moeller.

A school with such a rich history could have the proper canvas to illustrate and honor its past. Even if it were just a few blue and gold stripes painted on the walls, anything is better than today’s metal stor-

Are obsolete lockers crowding our hallways?

In recent memory, the lockers have served little purpose other than taking up space and providing the school with an austere prison feel.

Removing a majority of the lockers and renovating the hallways would bring positive publicity to the school. Just because Moeller has a laptop program does not mean the school should be immune from further modernization. Apart from the addition of the science and Brisbane wings, there have not been any major changes to the school’s interior appearance in decades.

A lack of funds is not an acceptable excuse for

sticks and winter coats to their classes, it would also add an unnecessary amount of time onto the school day. An extra ten to fifteen minutes would be tacked on to the already grueling seven hour day.

The removal of these ancient eyesores from the building would lead to a newly-energized, less smelly school whose walls would scream “school spirit.” And there would be so much more room for activities! The removal of lockers truly has no negative effects.

WANTED: Academic pride We need to start taking pride in our academics.

I am not, by any means, saying that we should tone down our athletic pride; I am saying that we should carry some of that pride over to our academic programs!

Tyler Himes ‘14 Bridging the gap There is a major difference between the CP1 and the Honors level classes at Moeller. The honors level students are held to a much higher standard, and teachers do not accept laziness. The CP1 level, however, manages to allow very below average students to succeed putting forth little to no effort.

For Moeller to begin to become a true academic school, the divide between CP1 and Honors needs to diminish and its students need to be held to a higher standard.

Danny Abeln ‘14 e-Library, e-Disaster The implementation of the e-Library could create some challenges, like many other programs the IT department has deemed “helpful.” Firstly, students will have to download any books they want to read from the internet, via a program called Overdrive.

Imagine school computers, as slow as they are, trying to get all of that information. Downloading one book could take hours, and the notorious power

failures caused by the new batteries could interrupt at any moment. It would be easier and faster to use hard copies. Second, reading e-Books can be a strenuous and frustrating experience. After waiting for the program to load, students have to read from dim computer screens for hours on end, which isn’t good for the eyes. Finally, the money required to fund this task could be used on other things – perhaps, correct replacement batteries for the laptops.

Kellis Kincaid ‘14 e-Books not a viable solution I do not believe that e-books are a viable solution.

While one of the major reasons for my decision to come to Moeller was to leave my book bag behind and use a laptop, I had never really used an online book before. My first experience of reading an e-book came during my freshman year. While it sounds good at first, it turned into a nightmare as reading an e-book really strains the eyes and it becomes physically hard for strained eyes to continue reading a page.

Before our school decides to get rid of tangible books, why don’t we talk to the students who actually use them? It’s easy to think that an e-book is a good idea, but until you really have to use one you can’t see the drawbacks.

Paul Hanna ‘14 It’s our own fault Complaints about Moeller being seen as a “day care” or a “jock school” from Moeller students are perplexing, as a good amount of the students who complain, in fact, help perpetuate these claims. Look at the online profile of a Moeller student on any number of social media sites, ranging from Twitter, to Facebook, to Instagram and you will see how

evident this is. Moeller students are famously braggarts about how laid back the school atmosphere is, and about how little we have school. It seems that we, the Moeller students, have not only created, but have perpetuated the image of Moeller as an “easy” school. In fact, the opposite of this stereotype is true, as any student on the Honors or A.P. track can attest to. Moeller students are ridiculous if they think they can parade how laid back and “chill” Moeller is on the entirety of social media sites and at the same time be taken seriously when extolling Moeller’s meritorious virtues.

Quincy Williams ‘14 “If you come here just for sports, you are dumb.”

Moeller is both a “jock“school and a school where many people come to achieve great things. You can get a great education here and you can also be a great athlete. As one of my teachers told me, “If you come here just for sports, you are dumb.” There are many other programs here to help you succeed. It is all your choice. Moeller is a great school. It’s just about what you make out of it.

Hunter Knizner ‘16 Time for a change As a very faith-based community, the focus shouldn’t only be on Moeller’s athletic programs.

Moeller is a school built around faith, community, and intellect. It is time for the spotlight to reveal more than just our athletic achievements.

Not your grade school science fair Moeller students to participate in Cincinnati Science Olympiad

The Science Olympiad at the University of Cincinnati Blue Ash (formerly known as Raymond Walters) will showcase some of the city’s best future scientific minds on March 2, 2013.

There are many different events that students will compete in at the Science Olympiad, from building a robotic arm to taking tests on astronomy, forensics, and observing rocks and minerals.

The Olympiad is made up of 24 different events.

Teams from high schools around the area compete in it and there can be up to 15 students on a team.

Senior Jack Taylor said he would “absolutely” recommend being a part of it if a student wants to go into a specific area of science in college.

“As a freshman I want to try to get into some things that I have always been good at,” says Cooper Kuethe ‘16.

“I felt the Science Olympiad would be a fun way to go against other scientific minds and test my knowledge,” said Nick Schriml ’14 when he was asked why he wanted to be a part of the Olympiad.

Each member of the team can compete in six events. However, those events may not overlap.

Students earn points for their team from each event

in which they compete. Points are given by judges who score the events based on accuracy and completion.

Senior Gabe Fidder, who hopes to study aeronautical engineering at Ohio State next year, is competing in one of those events called the Maglev, a magnetically levitating vehicle that must travel on magnetic rails and go as fast as possible. The other important part of this lab is that the Maglev must carry the heaviest weight possible.

“I would like to see it grow,” says Moeller chemistry teacher Mr. Kevin Conlon. He also added that the event has grown from just a few events into 24 different events.

The Olympiad continues to add new events to keep the whole showcase challenging for students.

Some of the students currently practice building and writing labs for their Olympiad event in Mr. Conlon’s classroom after school.

Other important dates for the Science Olympiad are the Ohio Tournament on April 27, 2013 at The Ohio State University in Columbus, and the National Tournament on May 17 and 18, 2013 at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

“We’ve got girls.” We’ve all heard the familiar chant at one time or another. Opposing student sections resort to it when Moeller is running up and down the court or field putting points up like nobody’s business, and your co-ed school friends never let you hear the end of it about attending an all-guy school.

Although, not too far away there are two very nice all-girls schools that grab the attention of most men of Moeller. Mount Notre Dame (MND) and Ursuline Academy (UA) have been constantly judged on their “classiness” and “sportiness”

by Moeller students past and present.

That brings a question to mind: Are we judged on certain principles and compared with other all-guy schools like GCL rival St. X? Brianna Lechner, a junior at Ursuline, has always found Moeller students easier to talk with.

“I’ve always leaned towards Moeller guys,” she said. “They’re much more laid back and fun. St. X students stress out too much about school work.”

Hannah Sagel, another junior at Ursuline, added, “Moeller definitely has the edge when it comes to athletics.”

MND senior Lauren Walsh leans towards Moeller as well. “Moeller guys are much cooler and less flamboyant than guys at St. X,” she said.

“Moeller guys seem to care less about the clothes they wear.”

Also a senior at MND, Samantha Imbranyev believes that Moeller students are “much cuter, but when it comes to nice guys, St.X wins for sure.”

All the girls, however, did give the edge to St.X when it comes to academic reputation. “It’s relatively easy to coast through classes at Moeller without a lot of work,” said Lechner, who mentioned our reputation as a “day care.”

The girls all said that they believe that at Moeller athletics take the front seat to academics.

Busch League Rants from Andrew Buschbacher ‘13

Harry Wahl ‘13 Q. In your opinion, what is the hardest class at Moeller?

A. Hardest class at Moeller has to be a tie between AP Calc and AP Physics. They’re ridiculous, and Brother Lohrey scares me.

Q. What do you do in your spare time outside of Moeller?

A. Outside of Moeller I play intramural basketball, and my CYO basketball team has had a shaky 0-5 start, but star players Kaleb Nypaver and Sean McCroskey are confident we’ll turn the season around.

Q. Did you always want to be school captain?

A. I actually did not. I had thought about it occasionally but wasn’t sure if I had the right stuff for the job. Mr. Shaffer pushed me off the bubble and convinced me to apply for it, and I have loved it ever since. He’s kind of my idol.

Q. Favorite extracurricular?

A. Interning with Unified for Unifat and running Moeller’s chapter. Both of these have really given me a chance to give back to my community, help those most in need, and have fun doing it.

Q. Where are you planning to attend college?

A. Right now I am down to the #EliteEight. Once I can cross off four more we’ll head into the #FinalFour, but the frontrunners right now are Marquette, Louisville, Saint Joseph’s University (PA), and South Carolina.

Q. Favorite class this year?

A. Favorite class is a tie between nonprofit business management because of the great work and insight I get into the nonprofit and business world and CP1 Calculus because you just can’t compete with Bruce Nelson.

Q. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

A. Hopefully I’ll be working for a professional sports team front office, helping to run a nonprofit, or maybe even back at Moeller. I really don’t know, but I’m up for anything and excited to see what the future holds.

Eveslage dean has adventurous side Religion teacher Anthony Corder has slept among coyotes in the desert and worked out in an El Salvador prison.

By Chuck Smallwood ‘13 Crusader Entertainment Editor Religion teacher and Eveslage Dean Anthony Corder is known around Moeller as Keanu Reeves’ lookalike. Behind his mild-mannered facade, he’s a pretty tough guy who has been through many adventures and lived to tell the tales.

Mr. Corder is a gifted storyteller when it comes to recounting his past, which he does regularly in his senior religion classes.

He once prepared for a marathon in the Las Vegas desert by sleeping on the side of the road. He also competed in an El Salvadorian prison weight-lifting competition.

The Las Vegas Death Valley Run is one of the biggest attention grabbers. According to Mr. Corder’s account, several years ago he arrived in Las Vegas accompanied by four close friends on his journey through the desert in scorching heat.

The night before the marathon, Mr. Corder had what he considered a great idea. Sleeping outside, he reasoned, would improve his running.

“I thought that if I slept outside in the desert by a bush, I’d feel more ready for the race,” he explained.

While his friends quickly fell to sleep nearby in their nice, comfortable tents, he braved the desert elements under a star-filled sky.

What he hadn’t been prepared for, he admited, were the animals that prowled the desert by night.

A coyote, he said, stepped right over him while he lay still in his sleeping bag.

He then awoke around five in the morning, watching the sun rise over Death Valley.

“It was an amazing experience,”he said, watching the valley come to life before heading towards the starting line.

That day, Mr. Corder made it about halfway through the marathon before developing debilitating tendonitis. He would later go back to complete the remainder of the race. Despite a disappointing finish, Mr. Corder emphasized that he takes this as an experience in his life that has helped him understand the world a little better.

Another notable story that Mr. Corder recently related concerns his participation in an El Salvadorian prison weight-lifting competition. Despite what

Freshman founds ‘Books 4 Buddies’ charity

his image may portray, he was not a prisoner. He was taking a mission trip to El Salvador to learn about living conditions in Central America. His intention was to understand how life there is different from the way of life we’re use to, living in the privileged United States.

“It certainly gave me a new perspective on things and has positively changed me,” he said of his experiences in El Salvador.

Toure McCord had trouble with reading comprehension and wanted to make a positive change so he could excel in his academic career.

With the encouragement of his grandmother, Laneta Goings, the pair teamed up with others to collect gently used books to donate to needy kids.

Originally from Toledo, the current Moeller Freshman moved to Atlanta, where he lived for four years before moving back to Ohio at the start of 7th grade.

The idea for the Books 4 Buddies charity began in Atlanta, but took off once he returned to Ohio.

Last year, Ms. Goings scheduled a meeting with the Board Members of Toledo-Lucas County Public Library in an attempt to share the concept and jumpstart the Books 4 Buddies program.

“Our idea was immediately embraced with significant endorsements from many local companies around Toledo,” said McCord.

During the first campaign kickoff on June 30, 2012 the charity received nearly 1,000 books from the Toledo area.

In addition to the kick-off and other competitions, Books 4 Buddies uses drop off locations to receive donated books.The program is represented by Book Ambassadors, a group of teenagers who help gather, sort, and distribute the books the campaign receives.

Books 4 Buddies has collected over 5,000 books within the past year, and the charity is still growing. Despite the significant growth there are no connections in the Cincinnati area to help the Books 4 Buddies charity bloom, explained McCord, but with his initiative the Books 4 Buddies program will migrate into the Cincinnati community later this year.

The charity has brought a lot of attention to McCord, but he says he doesn’t mind it because in the end, it’s for the kids who receive the books.

room where a weight-lifting competition was just getting underway.

No one said anything except for Mr. Corder who stepped up and cranked out as many reps as he could. When he was done, four other guys tried to match Mr. Corder, but failed. The guide told Mr. Corder that if someone doesn’t beat him, the prisoners might attack and kill him. Thankfully, the fifth guy came up and beat Mr. Corder’s record, allowing him to continue his tour of the prison unscathed.

All of Mr. Corder’s notable experiences, he explained, are worthwhile primarily because they provided him a way of continuing to learn different perspectives on life.

Mr. Corder’s students are most grateful when he just stays put at Moeller and keeps the risk to a minimum while teaching religion.

‘Did your daughter really date Hines Ward?’

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be substitute teacher Bob Thaler

By Jared Kroger ‘13 Crusader Managing Editor The briefcase. The Oregon Ducks sweatshirt.

The coffee mug. When Moeller students see these three things walking into a room, a sense of excitment comes over the class. Cheering and high-fiving ensue. In place of their teacher is a part-time substitute. But it’s not just any ordinary substitute teacher.

It happens to be the one, the only, the original, Mr. Bob Thaler.

While not imposing in size, Thaler has a personality that controls an entire room of Moeller students as soon as he opens his mouth. He gets right into discussing topics with students that range from his “sadist” story, where he relates psychology terms in an anecdotal riddle in A.P. Psychology to his numerous meetings with (former) Oregon Ducks’ football coach Chip Kelly.

He is an animated and intriguing man who just might be the most approachable person you can find at Moeller.

“My favorite part of coming into a Moeller classroom is mixing with the students I see,” Thaler explained with smile.

Thaler said the most frequently asked question to him was, without hesitation, “Did your daughter really date Hines Ward?

“Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but the answer to that question is unfortunately no.

Hines asked my daughter out three times while in they were in college at Georgia where he was playing football and she soccer, and she turned him down each time,” Thaler said with a bit of regret of what could have Mr. Thaler in Canton been on his voice.

Mr. Thaler graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a master’s degree in industrial relations

“Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but the answer to that question is unfortunately no.”

- Mr. Bob Thaler

after he received his bachelors in human resources.

He subsequently worked for Cooper Tire, Sterling Drug Company, GE and Chiquita as a human resources manager.

As everyone at Moeller knows, Mr. Thaler is a huge Oregon Ducks fanatic. His Duck-loving started when his son Andrew went to Oregon for school, and is where Andrew met his wife.

Thaler loves to travel, but Oregon is not his only frequent destination. He crosses the country to visit his best friends in Palm Springs, California, and has recently been to New England.

Traveling aside, Thaler has a unique taste for movies. He prefers foreign movies over ones produced by Hollywood. He primarily watches French, Spanish, and even German films.

“Foreign films have significantly more ‘substance’ than the films we have in America,” Thaler explained.

With Mr. Thaler being a man who has seen it all, he has a lot of stories to tell students.

“Without a doubt my favorite story to tell students was the time I met Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney when I stopped at a McDonald’s in Rochester, New Hampshire. He was in front of me in line and then I realized who he was.”

Mr. Thaler, of course got a photo with the man himself.

McLaughlin, volleyball team poised to repeat as state champs

‘It’ll take a lot of hard work, a long preseason, and focus during the regular season’

By Connor Borton ‘15 Crusader Features Editor Ask anyone in the athletic world about Moeller athletics and one word comes to mind: dynasty.

Football’s latest state title, its eighth, reignited visions of historical domination.

Many, however, tend to overlook one of Moeller’s most dominating programs. Crusader volleyball has captured seven state titles since 1997, the most recent one coming just last spring.

When long-time varsity volleyball coach Greg Ulland stepped down after the state tournament run in 2011, the program didn’t have to look far to find a leader to carry the torch. Matt McLaughlin ‘05, an assistant coach under Ulland for two years, took over the reins last year and can already can boast a state ring.

McLaughlin, who has been teaching English at Moeller since 2009, has been around volleyball all his life. His love for the sport, he says, started in 5th grade at St. Susanna School in Mason and continued as he grew up watching his sister Jen (UA ’96) play.

He brought his passion to his alma mater as a key member of both the ‘04 and ‘05 state championship teams.

Coach McLaughlin is also the assistant freshmen coach at Ursuline and has coached for Cincinnati Attack, a club volleyball team, for seven years.

To keep the program operating at a high level,

Moeller volleyball players are constantly looking for a way to get better in the offseason.

“There are plenty of places you could go to for clinics. Most colleges that have teams have a summer camp for players,” said senior Casey Pieper.

“A lot of players also play on club teams outside of the season where we can practice and go to tournaments.”

Nate Fowler: Moeller’s young giant

Sophomore sensation adds more than height to Moeller varsity basketball

By Michael Pilipovich ‘13 Crusader Sports Editor As the varsity basketball team fights through the playoff bracket, sophomore Nate Fowler is averaging 7.0 rebounds per game, which is second in the GCL behind only Devin Pike ‘14 of Elder. Fowler’s offensive game is just as impressive. He boasts a whopping 56.0% field goal percentage.

The team’s success has given Fowler much attention. Nate Fowler is the sophomore sensation who

“I don’t really feel that I’m a sophomore when I’m with them because they treat me the same as if I were a junior.”

- Nate Fowler ‘15 not only leads the team in height, but also with his manner of play. The dominance of such a young player adds promise to the future of an already successful program.

Fowler has an older brother who attended St. Xavier. The decision to not follow in his brother’s footsteps was a tough one to make. “When I shadowed at St. Xavier I couldn’t see myself going there, but when I shadowed at Moeller I could,” Fowler said. “Everyone on the team loves him,” says senior guard Josh Davenport. “He plays a big role for us at a young age.”

“All the guys on the team are great,” says Fowler.

“I don’t really feel that I’m a sophomore when I’m with them because they treat me the same as if I were a junior.” Davenport and Fowler both made the varsity squad during their respective times as sophomores. Fowler also made the junior varsity squad as a freshman, which is a rarity in the program.

“I don’t think about being a sophomore playing against older kids,” says Fowler. “I’m used to playing kids older than me during the summer AAU season.”

For the Crusaders’ opponents, it’s not easy to defend a player like Fowler. With the Crusaders moving through the playoff bracket, Fowler is getting city-wide attention.

During the regular season Fowler was able to bring in 152 points and 154 rebounds. This type of play has been instrumental to the success of the team and a large credit to their solid record.

“Nate’s always trying to make us better,” says senior Mitchell Hoelker. “Even though he’s young, he learns really quickly and by the end of the practice,

he’s basically showing us what to do.”

With a lot of potential still to come, Fowler has gained the attention of some schools who have taken a liking to his skill set. Some of these schools include Dayton, West Virginia, Michigan, Butler, Miami of Ohio, Notre Dame, and Ohio State. He’s already been on a number of college visits.

“A typical recruiting visit consists of meeting with the coaching staff, meeting some of the players, and touring the facilities,” says Fowler.

Most players would be satisfied with any one of these Division I schools taking an interest in them.

With such big names already in the discussions, it raises the question of what other big schools will offer Fowler a scholarship by the time he finishes his career at Moeller.

“I hope to play basketball in college but have no idea where yet,” says Fowler. “I have a couple of years to think about it still.”

With the season right around the corner, beginning on March 11th, preseason workouts are underway as Coach McLaughlin and company are starting this year’s journey toward the state tournament, which is scheduled for May 26.

“I would like to say that our team wants to strive for nothing less than the state title again,” said senior Ryan Sheets.

Every championship team, explained senior Corey Carroll, has a different formula and the Crusader’s formula is simple: hard work and team chemistry.

“It’ll take a lot of hard work, a long preseason, and focus during the short regular season to pull off another title,” said Carroll.

“One of the most important qualities for a state championship team is team chemistry,” added Carroll. “Volleyball is one of those sports where a team can’t just have one dominant player; everybody has to work hard on both defense and offense to be successful.”

Based on their recent success and strong coaching, the volleyball program is poised to pull off a record-tying eighth state title and gain recognition among the top programs at Moeller and in the state.

Crusader nickname valued at $10

Fifty-year-old mascot selected in simple contest with first Freshman class

By Andrew Buschbacher ‘13 Crusader Art & Photography

Basketball by the Numbers 55.8

Ever wonder how the nickname the “Crusaders” came to be? In 1960, the year Moeller High School opened its doors, about 190 “lost freshmen” with eight faculty members didn’t have a mascot, fight song or a school alma mater.

Brother Keys came up with the songs. However, Brother Lawrence Eveslage, the school’s first principal, decided to hold a contest where Moeller students submitted suggestions for what they thought would be the best mascot. The finalists for the mascot were the “Marines,” the “Marauders” (Raiders), and the “Crusaders.”

“Some teammates thought we would be ridculed for being the Crusader Rabbits,” - Ed Finke The winner was be given $10 to the school’s bookstore, the value of which is approximately $75 today.

The money ended up being split between two students, Ed Finke ‘64 and Dennis Cronin ‘64, who happened to have been classmates at St. Vincent during grade school. Both ended up submitting the winning nickname “Crusaders.” Finke said he used it to buy a towel with the new Crusader mascot on it.

At the time there was a popular cartoon called “Crusader Rabbit.” The cartoon was a satirical adventure that would end with a cliffhanger.

Cronin said that, at first, he didn’t dare tell his football teammates he had won because he wasn’t sure how they would react to the name that could be considered a name based off a cartoon.

“Turns out, I guess we all believe it was the right choice,” says Cronin.

Moeller baseball thirsts for back-to-back state titles

Five-time GCL Coach of the Year Tim Held joined by talented bats and a young pitching staff

By Kyle Zimmerman ‘14 Crusader Editor-in-Chief The Moeller varsity baseball team has a record of 127-24 in the past five seasons, including four trips to the state final four and State Championships in 2009 and 2012. Last season, the varsity squad won Moeller’s 25th GCL title, 11th City Poll Championship, and also finished the season ranked tenth in the nation by USA Today.

Coming off a State Championship, the expectations for this year’s team are especially high. With five time GCL coach of the year Tim Held at the helm, and solid amounts of talent at bat, on the mound, and in the field, players are confident that they can win back-to-back State Championships.

“We know what it takes to get there and everyone on the team wants it bad,” says shortstop Riley Mahan ’14. “It hasn’t been done in a while, but we plan on changing that.”

Offensively, the team looks stellar. The Crusaders’ lineup will contain many of the same hitters from a season ago. Slugger Spencer Iacovone ’13

“We know what it takes to get there and everyone on the team wants it bad.”

- Riley Mahan ‘14 brings his powerful bat into that lineup for a second year. Talent is certainly not lacking on this team.

Five seniors have already committed to play baseball at the collegiate level in addition to a couple of verbal commitments from members of the junior class.

The varsity team has already started its intense practice schedule. Under the direction of second year English teacher and certified strength coach Michael Hayes, the team lifts and conditions every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They also hit and pitch every Tuesday and Saturday.

Last year’s varsity team lined up before the Elder game at UC’s Marge Schott Stadium

In addition to assistant coaches Andy Nagel and Tony Maccani, the varsity program will welcome one more assistant coach. Jason Cisper ’06 will join the team after spending two years as an assistant coach at Northern Kentucky University.

Coach Cisper was the starting right fielder on Moeller’s 2004 State Championship team. As a sophomore that season he batted .489 and led the team with 44 hits. As a player at NKU, Cisper was a two time All-Conference centerfielder, 2010 Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Year, and a 2010 NCAA All-American.

He holds several baseball records at Moeller and NKU. As a coach at NKU, Cisper was responsible for outfielders, base running, advanced scouting, and offense. He will bring a young, fresh attitude to the team as well as heaps of baseball knowledge.

It seems that the biggest challenge for this year’s

team is pitching. Of the 200+ innings played last season, only 14 were pitched by players returning to the team this season. The graduation of outstanding pitchers such as All-American Brian Burkhart ’12, John Tanner ’12, and Phillip Diehl ’12 has left three big vacancies in the pitching rotation.

These vacancies can be partially filled by seniors Mason Eckley and TJ Marklay. Juniors Zach Logue, TJ Storer, and Gus Ragland are all likely to vie for spots in the rotation or appearances out of the bullpen.

Competition will be stiff this season as Moeller faces off with teams like Elder, who is returning lots of players. Another team with potential is St. Xavier.

Moeller will also face tough competition during the baseball trip to Nashville, Tennessee, over spring break.

The team begins its quest for another state title on March 30 against Strongsville at Schuler Park.

Chaos controls crowd at Winter Improv - ’ No Script, No Rules’ Moeller Theatre woos and wows in the manner of Chicago’s finest comedy clubs

By Joe Pappalardo ‘13 Entertainment NewsEditor “No Script. No Rules.” That’s all people knew going into Moeller High School’s auditorium on January 18, 19, and 20. The Winter Improv Show began with thirty minutes of quiet chatter and piano music by Mr. Jim Balbach. The performers served refreshments to their guests, as people tried to finish writing names, places, and quotes on the various notecards at their seats.

The low-lit room opened up into a tiny stage with six chairs, while over twenty tables were packed into the surrounding ten feet, in a style similar to that of Chicago clubs. With the audience ready, the actors quietly shuffled backstage and director Buz Davis stepped on.

A shrill whistle broke the calm silence as the 17 performers burst in, screaming onto the stage. The hilarity and action continued for two straight hours, keeping the audience engaged and gasping for breath. Punch line after punch line was delivered with varying expression from every single actor – and they didn’t even have a script.

Once again, Moeller High School Theatre did not fail to impress as veterans and first-time actors joined together onstage to bring to life the situations the audience had put together in writing. Saturday evening showcased a colorblind Home Depot paint salesperson, a security guard and shoplifter’s love story, and the revelation that Chris Wright ’13 had a long-lost father who was also a bull.

The unexpected was exactly what the performers wanted to throw at their viewers, and not only did they succeed in this aspect, but they did it differently in each performance, proving that nothing is predictable when it comes to Moeller Improv.

Many of the scenes were not straight acting either. Buz Davis preferred to turn the Improv Show into a competition, lining the actors up and letting them try to outdo each other in crazy challenges.

These included a dialogue about Hogwarts using only questions, a rhyming competition using suggestions from the crowd, and a scene in which the

Moeller participants in this year’s Winter Improv: Middle row: Mikale’ Wilkinson ‘14. Back row: Sam Sheets ’14, David Faller ’13, Evan Verrilli ’14 Billy Thompson ’13, Chris Wright ’13, John Dickens ’14, Zach Corbett ‘16. Not pictured: Nick Schaeffer ’13 and Nick Wedzikowski

actors would perform, and then lose a member at the end of the performance. This last one was especially entertaining as Nick Wedzikowski ‘13, David Faller ’13, and Chris Wright tried to impersonate five characters at once, including sobbing girls and jabbering old men.

Also returning to the stage were Zach Corbett ’15, John Dickens ’14, Sam Sheets ’14, Evan Verrilli ’14, and Mikale’ Wilkinson ’14. This year’s seniors Nick Schaeffer and Billy Thompson joined the crew, putting on hilarious performances despite being new to the stage. By the end of the week’s Improv workshop, all of these actors proved their worth in the final production.

Moeller Theatre’s Improv was amazing, but raised a few questions that will have to be answered in the Spring production.

Why are there more actors in Improv than the plays? Will this cast return for the next performance?

Audiences will have to wait for these players to reappear, but rest assured, the Winter Improv is worth every cent of that $10.

A day in the life of an honors student

By Ben land ‘14 Crusader Op/Ed Editor When most Americans think of the typical honors student, they often picture the nerdy, zit faced, glasses-wearing weirdo. At Moeller, however, that’s not the case. Moeller offers honors or Advanced Placement courses for math, science, English, and social studies. It’s hard to find a Moeller student at the top of his class who is not taking at least four honors classes.

With the huge expectations that come with taking honors and AP classes, the question must be asked: When is the six hours of homework every night going to end?
