Springfield High School is in and Vandalia Butler is out as a girls postseason tournament site.
Vandalia’s Student Activities Center and its 4,000-plus seating capacity has been a fixture for the girls postseason, and often hosts the Divisions II, III and IV regionals. However, construction of a new high school on the same site at VB will begin after spring break.
Already in place at Butler are temporary trailers that will house faculty and students through the 2010-11 school year and possibly beyond. The SAC is one of the few facilities that will not undergo renovation or a complete rebuild. Even Butler’s stadium will be rebuilt.
That means a new location for those regionals formerly hosted by Vandalia had to be found. Hello Springfield and its new gymnasium, which opened during the 2008-09 school year and seats a capacity 2,100.
Vandalia will not host postseason games this season or next.
“That will be a little bit different,” said Alter coach Chris Hart, whose Knights drew the No. 1 seed in the Springboro sectional.
“We certainly haven’t played there, but that’ll be the case for all four teams.”

On arguably the most important day for Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly since taking the job in South Bend, he’s seeking out one of the area’s top football talents.
Maneuvering through his first signing day as coach, Kelly found time to schedule a phone conversation with Wayne High School junior quarterback Braxton Miller today, Feb. 3, said Wayne coach Jay Minton. Miller is considered by many to be the state’s top recruit in the Class of 2011.
Miller was supposed to make contact with Kelly today as many of the country’s top programs continue to come after him.
Kelly is busy enough trying to impress Notre Dame fans and media with his first recruiting class as head coach, but that doesn’t mean he’s not looking toward the future. Miller seems to be on Kelly’s mind as a possibility for that future.

To put it plainly, Trotwood-Madison defensive back Jordon Paschal is fast.
“He’s like a heat-seeking missile,” said Trotwood football coach Maurice Douglass.
A member of the Rams’ consecutive state record-setting 1,600-meter relay teams, Paschal will take that significant speed to the University of Louisville football team, where he’s expected to sign his national letter of intent today. He’s one of four Trotwood players who will play for Division I colleges, including linebacker Willie Ballard (Buffalo), lineman Darion Delaney (Bowling Green) and tight end Justin Favors (Colorado).
Now that he’s already helped Trotwood advance to the Division II regional final and finished his football recruiting, Paschal can look forward to the track season, where he’s also made his mark.
In 2008, Paschal was part of the Trotwood 1,600-meter relay team that set a state record and won the title in a time of 3:13.46.
Last year, with two new members of the relay team, Trotwood broke its own state record and won the championship again, this time in 3:13.32. The 800-meter relay team, of which Paschal was a member, also made the state final and finished third.
“He has that closing speed,” Douglass said. “He’s a low 4.4 guy.”

Football Signing Day 2010

A tight end for much of his Xenia High School career, Dakota Anderson made a transition to playing more offensive line this season.
That caused a problem for coach Bob DeLong, who sometimes needed Anderson - like his teammate Michael Vollmer - to switch between positions in the same game. That required different jersey numbers.
Turns out that DeLong’s mother is crafty, and she created Velcro-on jerseys that the players could quickly put on or take off to change numbers during a game.
Not only that, but the 6-5 Anderson was one of the best punters in the area this season, and he’s also a member of the Buccaneers’ basketball team.
With that versatility, one could expect Anderson to find a way to contribute quickly to the Ball State football team, to which he’ll officially bind himself today by signing a letter of intent. Anderson is one of three local players, along with Coldwater quarterback Keith Wenning and Northmont defensive back Quintin Cooper, expected to sign with Ball State.
That means that BSU, despite the departure last year of coach Brady Hoke (a Kettering native) to San Diego State, is still collecting talent from the Miami Valley. The Cardinals’ roster includes seven players from the area: Tight end Ryan Hartke (St. Henry), safety Kyle Kuntz (Vandalia Butler), long snapper Cody Muhlenkamp (Coldwater), defensive tackle Jafe Pitcock (Piqua), defensive end Andrew Puthoff (St. Henry), defensive tackle Pete Rolf (Piqua) and linebacker Lorren Womack (Wayne).
Anderson, Wenning and Cooper will add to that line.
