‘Cookie Caper:’ Kelley wins appeal, will wrestle in district meet at Fairfield H.S.
JUDGES BROGAN, DONOVAN
RULE IN WRESTLER’S FAVOR
Stop the presses. Centerville High School sophomore Dillon Kelley will compete in the Division I district wrestling tournament at Fairfield High School after all.
The Second District Court of Appeals ruled in Kelley’s favor on Friday morning, Feb. 27, in the “Cookie Caper Case,” and he’s due to wrestle on Friday afternoon in the district meet.
“We are thrilled and we wish him the best of luck,” Matthew D. DiCiccio, Kelley’s attorney, said Friday morning.
Kelley’s mother, Jennifer Marovich, drove him to Fairfield High School for the 12:45 p.m. weigh in.
Late Thursday afternoon, Montgomery County Common Pleas Court Judge Frances E. McGee granted Centerville High School’s request to have a temporary restraining order dissolved — a victory for the school, which accused Kelley of theft on Feb. 10.
Kelley’s attorney filed the emergency appeal.
In a decision that came down at 11:30 a.m., Judges Mary E. Donovan and James A. Brogan of the Second District Court of Appeals ruled in Kelley’s favor
Kelley, 16, was arrested for allegedly stealing a $1.30 package of cookies from the Centerville cafeteria on Feb. 10. He served a one-day, out-of-school suspension on Feb. 11, and was suspended by the school from competing in the next athletic event, which he decided to fight in court.
Kelley’s victory means alternate Dylan DeWeese of Miamisburg High School will not get to compete at the district meet.
Some 100 Centerville students wore “FREE DILLON” T-shirts in support of Kelley at school on Thursday.

TweetJudge Frances E. McGee ‘pins’ Kelley in ‘Cookie Caper Case;’ calls it ‘classic example of a mountain being made out of molehill’
CENTERVILLE SPENDS $4,000-PLUS
OVER A $1.30 PACKAGE OF COOKIES
I, Chick Ludwig, author of the “Ludwig At Large” blog and Cincinnati Bengals beat writer for the Dayton Daily News, have written stories about NFL players getting tossed in the hoosegow for carrying concealed weapons.
But I had never heard of a high school student-athlete getting arrested for carrying concealed cookies — until this week.
Centerville High School’s 140-pound sophomore wrestler Dillon Kelley, accused of cookie theft on Feb. 10, had the audacity of going through the school cafeteria lunch line with four items — Gatorade, bread sticks, marinara sauce and cookies — and getting charged for only three.
It takes a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus juggler to negotiate the register area at Centerville.
The estimated $4,000-plus Centerville City School has paid out in legal fees to Dayton law firm Cooper & Gentile Co. — over a $1.30 stack of three cookies, wrapped in cellophane — should have been invested in trays for the school cafeteria.
Then this whole mess could’ve been avoided.
JUDGE FRANCES E. McGEE’S RULING
“While this case is a classic example of a mountain being made out of molehill, the law is clear. Regrettably this Court is not in a position to make any factual determinations. Neither does this Court have jurisdiction in regard to co-curricular activities. Based on the foregoing, School Defendants’ Motion to Dissolve Temporary Restraining Order is GRANTED.”

TweetCenterville Diver Claims Gold At State
Centerville High School senior diver Molly Elkins captured the gold at the Division I state high school diving championships in Canton Thursday afternoon.
Elkins accumulated 401.90 points in the one-meter springboard competition to edge Taylor Anderson of Upper Arlington (399). She had won the sectional and district titles leading up to the state. In 2008, Elkins finished third at state.
“It’s exciting and a big relief,” Elkins said. “I was calm and confident going into the meet, thanks to my coaches and teammates. I didn’t flip out or bomb any of my dives. I was neck and neck with Taylor. She brought the best out in me.”
Elkins strives for a rip entry (a low-splash slip into the water).
“It’s definitely a rush,” said Elkins, who is probably headed to the University of Masschusetts as a diver.
Said Elks diving coach Alice Licata: “Molly was amazing under pressure and nailed her dives (there are 11 dives — five optional and six required). The competition was tight and she delivered in a big way. Molly has a great degree of difficulty (DD) in her list of dives and she’s consistent. What impresses the judges is her dives from the pike position.”
Teammate Morgan Mullins placed 12th. The diving results will bolster the Elks in the swimming competition. They are aiming for a top-three finish.

CENTERVILLE WRESTLER’S FATE
IN HANDS OF JUDGE McGEE
HE WON’T COMPETE AT DISTRICTS
IF RESTRAINING ORDER IS DISSOLVED
Will Centerville High School sophomore Dillon Kelley get to wrestle in the Division I district tournament on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 27-28, at Fairfield High School?
We’ll find out today, Thursday, Feb. 26 — the eve of the meet.
His fate is in the hands of Montgomery County Common Pleas Court Judge Frances E. McGee.
She’s expected to render a decision today regarding a temporary restraining order that will either prolong Kelley’s wrestling season or end it.
In a meeting that lasted nearly 30 minutes, Judge McGee heard arguments from Kelley’s lawyer, Matthew DiCiccio, and Centerville High School’s attorney, Janet Cooper.
Kelley, 16, is accused of stealing a $1.30 package of cookies from the Centerville cafeteria on Feb. 10. He served a one-day, out-of-school suspension on Feb. 11, and was also dealt a one-match suspension — the Feb. 21 sectional meet — which he decided to fight in court.
Judge Mary K. Huffman granted a temporary restraining order against the school on Friday, Feb. 20. Kelley wrestled a day later, finishing fourth in the 140-pound weight class at the Centerville 1 sectional, which qualified him for the district meet.
Kelley, with a 30-13 record, is scheduled to face Glen Este’s Tommy Fehring (33-3) on Friday. The alternate is Dylan DeWeese of Miamisburg.
On Monday, Centerville High School filed a motion asking the court to dissolve the temporary restraining order.
“I’ll really feel for this kid if it gets dissolved,” DiCiccio said. “I’m passionate about it. I’ve yet to come across a person that finds the kid has been treated fairly. I’ve yet to have somebody say that to me. It’s just really sad.”
In a Feb. 20 letter to Kelley and his parents, which addressed his appeal, Centerville principal Eileen Booher decided “to uphold the sanction that Dillon be suspended from the next wrestling event (Feb. 21),” saying she believed the testimony of the cashier and security guard.
“Dillon Kelley approached the cash register … with a Gatorade under his arm, cookies in the palm of his hand concealed from (the cashier’s) sight by a bag of Bosco sticks,” Booher wrote. “He had money in his right hand. (The cashier) did not see the cookies and Dillon Kelley did not tell her that he had them, and he left cash register’s area without paying for them. It is the student’s responsibility to insure that all food items taken from the cafeteria are paid for. Dillon Kelley did not do that.”

TweetCenterville wrestler accused of cookie theft
RESTRAINING ORDER ALLOWED
ELKS’ SOPHOMORE TO COMPETE
AT SECTIONALS, BUT WILL HE
WRESTLE AT DISTRICT MEET?
===Chick Ludwig spoke with numerous friends in Centerville. They told me the school loses $11,000 a year because of cookie theft. Here’s a solution: The school should obtain a sponsor and make cookies free for students in the cafeteria.===
It took a court order for Dillon Kelley to compete in the Division I high school sectional wrestling tournament on Feb. 21.
Now Centerville High School is attempting to bar the sophomore from wrestling in the district tournament at Fairfield High School on Saturday, Feb. 28.
[an error occurred while processing this directive]Kelley, arrested for alleged theft of cookies in the high school cafeteria on Feb. 10, served a one-day, out-of-school suspension on Feb. 11, but decided to fight the school when it suspended him from wrestling in the sectional.
A Montgomery County Common Pleas judge granted a temporary restraining order against the school on Friday, Feb. 20.
On Monday, Centerville High School filed a motion asking the court to dissolve the temporary restraining order.
“They (Centerville High School) really don’t want him to wrestle,” said Matthew D. DiCicco, Kelley’s attorney. “I will say that it’s truly unfortunate that it has come to this.”
Kelley’s mother, Jennifer Marovich, said she can’t believe three cookies in a stack, wrapped in cellophane (at a cost of $1.30), could cause so much heartache.
“I told Dillon, ‘We could buy cookies for the whole school for what it’s going to cost in legal fees.’ “

TweetWayne-Dunbar game on next season, somewhere
Dunbar finished the regular season with a thrilling 78-73 OT defeat of Wayne at UD Arena last Sunday. But the drama started well before the opening tip.
Seems the Warriors were good with the two-game series, but not playing at Dunbar’s new 2,000-seat gym.
“I’m just looking forward to where we will play it (next season),” said Wolverines coach Pete Pullen.
“They didn’t want to come to my place. Why should I go to their place?”

TweetChaotic A-11 Offense Banned in Preps
The chaotic A-11 offense, an offshoot of the spread, has been declared illegal by the National Federation of State High School Associations.
The radical offense allowed 11 players to be initially eligible for a pass by utilizing the “scrimmage-kick exception”. The rule states that players not wearing Nos. 50 to 79 can be eligible to receive a down field pass. It was fun, unpredictable, and wild while it lasted and it drove defenses crazy, forcing the “D” to guess which players to cover downfield.
It substitutes receivers and backs for offensive linemen. A center and two tight ends surround the ball and two quarterbacks are featured in the shotgun formation. Six receivers are split out wide.
The national federation closed the “scrimmage kick” loophole and deemed the offense “unsportsmanlike” because it was equally chaotic to the officials.
Check out the A-11 Web site, where you’ll find highlight videos. R.I.P A-11.

TweetFormer Rams coach heading to Florida
Jeremy Beckham, a former offensive coordinator at Trotwood-Madison High School, has been hired as the head coach at Okeechobee High School in Florida according to the TCPalm.com.
Beckham was removed from his coaching duties during the 2008 season after the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s seven-month investigation into alleged recruiting and residency issues. The story said Okeechobee officials knew of the situation, but were impressed with Beckham.
Said Okeechobee assistant principal Sean Downing in the TCPalm: “We were really looking for somebody that matches our small-town morals and values, and the level of preparation that guy came with was incredible. It was head and shoulders above anyone else we went through as far as knowledge of Okeechobee. We feel fortunate to get Jeremy. Everyone was very impressed with him.”
Beckham had some impressive competition. He was hired over Brian Ferguson, a strength coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2008 and Ryan Sulkowski, the quarterbacks and tight ends coach at Clemson University since 2007.
Beckham, who plans to complete the move to Florida by April, takes over a team that went 8-3.

TweetDunbar, Trotwood-Madison agree to football, boys hoop series
Dunbar vs. Trotwood-Madison in boys hoop?
Be a believer.
One of the area’s best non-league rivalries will resume this coming school year. The Wolverines and Rams will play a Week 2 football game on Saturday, Sept. 5 at Welcome Stadium.
On Sunday, Jan. 24, 2010, Dunbar is scheduled to host T-M in boys basketball. However, depending on availability, that game could be moved elsewhere.
The Dunbar-Trotwood boys hoop game in 2006 — featuring Daequan Cook, Chris Wright and supporting casts of other stars — drew 8,000 at UD Arena. Dunbar won, 71-64 and also won the D-II state title. T-M was the D-I state runner-up that season.
In 2007, T-M edged Dunbar, 66-64. That spring Trotwood officials notified Dayton Public Schools that it would not schedule any more athletic contests with City League teams.
Like previous Dunbar-Trotwood hoop games, that date is the weekend prior to the Super Bowl, traditionally a “dead” time locally and nationally.
Not anymore.
“I thought it was always a good rivalry,” said T-M first-year boys hoop coach Mark Baker, who starred on the Dunbar ’87 state title team. “It’s just as good for the community and basketball fans throughout the community.
“I always thought they were very good games and certainly well attended. I’m just happy that we agreed to do it.”
Dayton Public Schools athletic director Jonas Smith said the schools have agreed to a two-year, home-and-home contract for both football and boys hoop.
Smith said Trotwood and Thurgood Marshall also will play the next two seasons in boys hoop.
“We’re very excited about bringing these communities back together,” Smith said.
“We wish we could have done something this year, but we were already locked into our schedules. We’re ready to move forward and bring some great sporting events to the area.”
T-M is 15-2 and drew a No. 2 seed in the upcoming Division I sectional tournament. Dunbar is 10-5 and a No. 3 seed in the D-II tourney.

TweetAiken forfeits game to Dunbar
The Dunbar High School boys basketball team has received a forfeit win from Cincinnati Aiken, which refused to resume a rescheduled game on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
The game was postponed at halftime on Jan. 3 when a fight broke out among Aiken and Dunbar reserve players. Aiken led the varsity game 37-34 at the break.
As instructed by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, the contest was to resume at the point of interruption at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Dunbar. Both schools had agreed that only parents and school administrators were to have been permitted to watch the completion of the game.
But on Monday, Aiken informed the OHSAA and Dunbar that it would forfeit instead.
“Aiken just doesn’t want to finish the game,” said Dayton Public Schools athletic director Jonas Smith.
“I don’t see safety as an issue. We had plenty of security lined up. You like to see all games finished.”
The forfeit win comes at the right moment for the Wolverines, who would have lugged a four-game losing streak into the rescheduled game. Instead, the skid is snapped and Dunbar improves to 10-5.
Smith indicated the Aiken-Dunbar non-league series likely won’t resume next season.
“At this point in time, I would say yes, it’s over,” Smith said. “I don’t see us playing again.”
Had Aiken returned to Dayton, it would have had to rent a bus, an extra expense not originally alloted for prior to the season. Cincinnati Public Schools do not own their own buses.
That constant transportation financial drain at least in part led to the demise two years ago of the Southwest Ohio Public League, which included all of Dayton’s and Cincinnati’s city teams. Transportation for Dayton City League teams is provided by DPS buses and mini vans.
The Aiken athletic department could not be contacted for comment.
Dunbar is a No. 3 seed in the upcoming Division II sectional tournament. The Wolverines host Stivers on Friday and play Wayne at 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 15 at UD Arena.
Aiken (12-4) is a No. 9 seed in the D-I sectional.

TweetPelfrey going back to football?
Steve Pelfrey, Vandalia Butler boys basketball coach, confirmed today that he has interviewed to become the school’s football coach, a position he once held.
The job opened when Dan Thobe stepped down after last season.
“Guess the rumor’s out there,” Pelfrey said. “I don’t want people to think I’m not interested in basketball. I just want to do what’s best for the school and the community.”
In his earlier stint as football coach, Pelfrey molded the Aviators into Division II playoff regulars, compiling a 63-56 record in 11 seasons before leaving the post in 2003.
Butler went to the playoffs five straight years under Pelfrey.
“There are a lot of things I do miss about football,” he said. “I think my style of coaching is obviously geared for that. We’ll see what happens.”

TweetBoro’s Damian, Centerville’s Replogle Munoz winners
Local players have caught the eye of the Anthony Munoz Foundation. Centerville’s Adam Replogle of Centerville earned the Division I defensive lineman of the year while Eric Damian of Springboro won the Division I offensive lineman of the year.

TweetWeekend boys and girls hoop, wrestling ticket
Friday: Dunbar at Marshall, 7:30 p.m., boys hoop.
The Wolverines took the first match-up, 62-60. But Dunbar has lost its last three, coinciding with the loss of point Patrick Green to injury. If he doesn’t return, Wolves could be hurting again. Probably for the City League title.
Saturday: Jefferson at Trotwood-Madison, 7:30 p.m., boys hoop.
A great non-league match-up. The Broncos’ one-man gang of Adreian Payne — and a helping cast of thousands — against the many waves of Runnin’ Rams. Good luck keeping stats on this potential burner.
Saturday: GWOC wrestling meet at Vandalia Butler.
If ever there wasn’t a clear team favorite, this is it. The final tune-up in the all-everything season-ending sectional-district state run.
Saturday: It’s the debut of the Ohio vs. Kentucky Classic, a four-game girls hoop event at Centerville H.S. that pits four of the area’s best teams against Ky.-town’s best.
Ohio vs. Kentucky Classic At Centerville H.S. Alter vs. Boone County, 2:15 p.m. Beavercreek vs. Scott County, 4 p.m. CJ vs. Notre Dame Aca., 5:45 p.m. Centerville vs. Holy Cross, 7:30 p.m.

TweetBoro’s Benj Secures 300 Milestone
Springboro girls basketball coach Tom Benjamin earned career victory No. 300 Wednesday night when the Panthers throttled Warren county rival Lebanon, 51-15.
Benjamin was 104-68 from 1997-05 with the Franklin girls basketball program and prior to that went 127-87 in 10 seasons (1986-96 with the Franklin boys program). He now has 69 wins at Boro.
“Benj has a personality that attracts people,” said Boro athletic director Troy Holtrey. “People want to be around him and want to do a good job for him. The first true test of a coach is a test of time and Benj has proved that over the years. No. 300 is an awesome accomplishment.”
It was Benjamin who tagged Holtrey with his first coaching loss at Boro in 1991.
“He beat me in my first coaching game,” Holtrey said. “He was coaching the Franklin boys at the time. I learned early on that his teams played hard and were defensively sound. He always makes great adjustments and molds his teams to his material.”
The affable Benjamin made the seamless transition from boys to girls basketball.
“It’s tremendously different,” said Benjamin, 50. “You have to be cognizant of the girls feelings. I have noticed that in teaching girls they genuinely try to execute to a fault. They even get enamored with a certain play. Guys, with their egos, for the most part, like to rely on athletic ability instead of execution. They get away from execution where the girls pay close attention to it.”

TweetFun and games for Alter’s Boucher brothers
KETTERING — The game was called Interception. But a neighbor of Austin and Collin Boucher, who were about eight-years old at the time, thought an intervention might be more appropriate.
“It was a lot of one-on-one football in the backyard,” their father Richard Boucher said of the game pitting a receiver against a defender with Richard serving as the quarterback. “It was one-on-one all the way down the field until you scored, then you turned around and started over again. … I might have thrown it a little hard sometimes. One of my neighbors heard me say, ‘You have to sacrifice your body.’ He’ll never let me forget that because they were only about eight-years old. ”
Collin remembers the game well.
“We’d be falling, getting hit in the face, diving for them. My dad ran me into a fence face first one time. I dropped the ball and lost the game. It was fun,” Collin said. “One of our neighbors asked if he was trying to hurt his kids. I guess it made us more athletic, tougher. It was all in good fun. I’d like to give a little credit to him for making us better football players.”
Miami University said thank you on Wednesday, Feb. 4, too. Austin and Collin both signed national letters of intent to play for the RedHawks next season. Austin will challenge for time at quarterback and Collin at linebacker. Now that he’s a Division I quarterback, how did his dad do in those outings?
“For a back-yard quarterback I think he did just fine,” Austin said. “We’ve probably played (Interception) since I knew what a football was. We always played tackle and it was always physical. … I think I won 90 percent of the time.”
High Five
Five Knights signed scholarships Wednesday. Chris Borland (Wisconsin), Evan Neff (Ball State) and Max Plunkett (Kent State) joined the Bouchers. In addition, Danny Jasper has been invited to Ohio State asa preferred walk-on at kicker and receiver. Scott Anderson, Justin Hall and Philip Sower are undecided.
They said it
• “Definitely beating Coldwater and the state title is more rewarding (than signing today), especially for the whole team.” — center Evan Neff (Ball State).
• “I told Richard I feel like the hand of God just reached down. Two weeks before we found out about Miami, Collin was going to Southern Illinois and Austin was going to Toledo. I made peace with that. In my heart I felt one of them would transfer within the year. Then this whole Miami thing came out of midair.” — Lisa Boucher, mother of Austin and Collin.
• “He better find a girl at Wisconsin to do that for him.” Alter coach Ed Domsitz after seeing linebacker Chris Borland getting help tying his tie.

TweetAlter signing day update: Good Knights!
KETTERING — Signing day just wrapped up at Alter High School without any surprises. Chris Borland (Wisconsin), Austin Boucher (Miami), Collin Boucher (Miami), Evan Neff (Ball State) and Max Plunkett (Kent State) all inked their national letters-of-intent in front of friends, family and fellow students today, Feb. 4.
Alter coach Ed Domsitz doesn’t remember a bigger class going D-I, and more could be coming. Danny Jasper has been invited to be a preferred walk-on at Ohio State, and Scott Anderson and Justin Hall are still deciding.
Signing day caps off a dream season for the Knights, who won the D-IV state title in December.
“I know what people out there say. They look at a D-IV team and say if you have five D-I players you darn well ought to win the state title,” Alter coach Ed Domsitz said. “You have the five, but it took all the rest of the kids. The non-D-I players and the kids who are just great high school players had a tremendous season for us.”
