The Dayton Lady HoopStars&amp;#8217; best sixth grade basketball team advanced to the 11U AAU national championship game, but couldn&amp;#8217;t quite pull off the upset in Kenner, La., on Wednesday night, July 1.

The Fairfax (Va.) Stars rallied for a 46-42 victory at the Pontchartrain Center near New Orleans for their second straight 11U national title.

Maddie Bazelak (St. Albert) scored 14 points, while Autumn Whirley (National Trail) added 10 and Shea Morgan (Kettering) chipped in 7 for the HoopStars, who built a 22-21 halftime lead. They finish the season with a 38-13 record.

&amp;#8220;We made a run and were up in the second half. but a couple shots didn&amp;#8217;t bounce our way,&amp;#8221; HoopStars coach Matt Madges said. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m just extremely proud of the kids. More than anything, I&amp;#8217;m just thrilled they got to experience what this is. 

&amp;#8220;We finished seventh last year. I don&amp;#8217;t think anyone really gave us a chance to get to where we are right now. Our kids did everything we asked them to do. We came up a couple bounces short.

&amp;#8220;We got close to knocking (the Stars) off, but that&amp;#8217;s their second title in a row.&amp;#8221;

Taylor Murray led Fairfax with 14 points.

DAYTON LADY HOOPSTARS 11U ROSTER:


Lauren Ashurst - St. Charles

Maddie Bazelak - St. Albert

Emma Bockrath - St. Charles

McKenzie Eagan - Home Schooled

Shea Morgan - Kettering

Halee Printz - Tipp City

<title>Fairborn&apos;s Gary Wright inducted into OHSAA Officials Hall of Fame</title>

Former Fairborn Baker High School standout Gary Wright has been posthumously honored by the OHSAA as one of 12 new members into its Officials Hall of Fame.

A banquet and ceremony was held this past Saturday at Worthington.

Wright, a successful lawyer based in his beloved Fairborn, was killed in 2004 in an auto accident while driving to Columbus for business.

Gary Wright 1952-2004

Wright was part of the Kirk Minteer, Steve Greene era of Flyers basketball that made an improbable Class AA regional appearance in 1970 following an underachieving Western Ohio League run. It didn&amp;#8217;t hurt that Baker was lumped in the Troy district and away from Chaminade, Roth, Xenia and Beavercreek in the Dayton district.

That spring Wright was perfect on the mound for Baker. The lefty went 9-0 to single-handedly win the WOL. That was only possible because league games were all on Friday and there were few rainouts.

Wright advanced to Class AAA with the Kansas City Royals, but turned to lawyering when it was obvious his curveball had reached its career limit. He had long ago gave up hoop, then baseball. They were replaced by officiating boys high school basketball and a passion for golf. He was a fixture at Greene Country Club for years.

Fairborn can be proud of one of its favorite sons.

<![CDATA[Trotwood-Madison did not run in the Nike Outdoor Nationals track and field meet. The Rams won the Nike mile relay in 2008. 

The meet was last week at North Carolina A&amp;T University, Greensboro, NC.

The T-M foursome of Julius Ruby, Jordan Paschal, Michael Jordan and William Henry set an all-time Ohio mark of 3:13.32 at the state meet earlier this month. That broke the record of 3:13.46 that the &#8217;08 Rams set in the state meet.

Running under the team name Waggoner&#8217;s Raiders for then assistant coach Randy Waggoner, the relay of Chris Burrows, Donte Lyons, Derricus Purdy and Michael Shaw ran 3:11.33 to win the Nike relay last summer. 

This year the winning time was 3:08.05 by Team Eastern Carolina.

<![CDATA[Danny Neff and Jimmie Pacifico are already the most decorated track and field athletes that Vandalia Butler H.S. has ever produced. And now they share another distinction.

Neff joined Pacifico as an Ohio Gatorade Athlete of the Year this week. That makes VB the state&#8217;s only school to have two T&amp;F athletes so honored.

Like Neff, Jimmie Pacifico also won three state titles in the shot put (twice) and discus / Staff photo by Ron Alvey

Neff won the indoor and outdoor Division I 1,600- and 800-meter state titles this year. Pacifico swept the D-I shot put and discus state titles in 2006, defended his shot put title in &#8216;07 and was runner-up in the discus as a senior.

&#8220;We are all very proud of Danny&#8217;s many accomplishments over the past four years,&#8221; said Aviators head coach Brian Tregoning.

&#8220;He has clearly proven himself to be one of the very best to come out of Ohio in the distance events and we can&#8217;t wait to watch him continue to improve as he heads to Georgia this fall. His drive and determination to do his best have served as the backbone for his success.&#8221;

Neff also recently won the 800 at the Midwest Distance Gala outside Chicago in a meet-record 1:50.02. It was his first fresh two-lapper this season.

As usual, he pulled away in the final 100, covering the last lap in 56.2. Distance coach Andy White reports that he went out at 53.8 on the first lap.

Initially, the finish time flashed 1:49.99. Neff and an appreciative crowd erupted in approval. But seconds later the time was adjusted.

Neff was 10th (4:16.09) in the Nike Outdoor Nationals mile last weekend at North Carolina A&amp;T University, Greensboro, NC.

<title>Ryan Bass leaves CJ for Dunbar</title>

All Dunbar needed last basketball season was a steady &amp;#8212; and productive &amp;#8212; presence at the point. They got it, for this coming season.

Senior-to-be Ryan Bass, a two-year starting guard for Chaminade Julienne, has withdrawn from CJ and has enrolled at Dunbar. CJ was 11-10 last season. Bass was All-Area Division II as a sophomore and second team as a junior.

Senior point guard Ryan Bass is on the move again, leaving CJ for Dunbar / Staff photo by Barbara J. Perenic

The 5-foot-10 guard averaged 18.6 points last season and had nine games of 20 or more points. He put 24 and 22 points on Alter in a pair of losses and 24 on D-II state runner-up Marshall in a 3-point loss.

&amp;#8220;Ryan&amp;#8217;s no longer with us and we wish him the best of luck,&amp;#8221; said CJ coach Joe Staley.

Bass has spent the summer playing with Dunbar&amp;#8217;s high-scoring team. The Wolverines blew through Fairmont&amp;#8217;s summer tourney unbeaten last week and went 3-1 against defending D-I state champ Columbus Northland, Centerville and Lakota West in a series of 15-minute scrimmages Tuesday following Daequan Cook&amp;#8217;s Basketball Skills Camp at Dunbar.

&amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s very unusual to get a player of his caliber,&amp;#8221; said Dunbar coach Peter Pullen. &amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s been a tremendous asset this summer. He gives us that missing piece that we were struggling with at the point.

&amp;#8220;He&amp;#8217;s been through the battles of the GCL, so we know he&amp;#8217;s been under fire. He&amp;#8217;s just got to get used to playing a little bit more uptempo, which I think fits him real well. A lot of time, he was the quickest player on the court in that league. Now, he&amp;#8217;s going to a venue that everyone we play is as quick as he is.&amp;#8221;

Bass&amp;#8217; arrival with the Wolverines will offset the expected loss of Williamp Pope. The undersized but effective center averaged 14 points last season, but has spent the summer with Preble Shawnee&amp;#8217;s team and hasn&amp;#8217;t participated in any of Dunbar&amp;#8217;s camps.

The combination of Bass and Geron Johnson, the 2008-09 City League player of the year, should be the area&amp;#8217;s most high-scoring backcourt.

Junior Tim Szabo inherits the point for CJ. The Eagles also return regulars Joe Staley, the coach&amp;#8217;s son, Matt Vest and Jon Bibbs. Besides plenty of other returnees &amp;#8212; CJ had just three seniors last season &amp;#8212; another Staley will be on board, sophomore John.

&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re expecting to have a good basketball team,&amp;#8221; said Joe Staley.

<title>Boucher, Replogle lead Ohio to Big 33 win </title>

Austin Boucher (Alter High School) and Adam Replogle (Centerville) saved their best for last in the Big 33 all-star football game last weekend at Hershey, Pa.

Boucher, a talented left-handed quarterback who&amp;#8217;s headed to Miami University, riddled the hosts for 260 yards passing, completing 18 of 24 attempts with no interceptions.

After working his magic during Alter&amp;#8217;s D-IV state title run last season, QB Austin Boucher was at it again in the Big 33 game / DDN photo by Jim Witmer

Who are you going to turn to on the 1-yard line? Adam Replogle / DDN photo by Chris Stewart 

But it was his 50-yard dash in the final minute that set up Ohio&amp;#8217;s All-Stars for a 38-31 defeat of Pennsylvania. Two plays later Replogle, a 6-foot-3, 275-pounder, bulled over from the 1 for the clinching score.

Boucher also had a game-record 99-yard scoring toss to Micha Hyde (Fostoria).
Replogle is headed to Indiana to probably play defense with his older brother, Tyler. But like this game and with the Elks, don&amp;#8217;t be surprised to see Adam in the Hoosiers&amp;#8217; red zone backfield.

Sam Longo (Bellbrook) also played for Ohio. The offensive lineman is headed to Ohio State. Assistant Ohio coaches included Bill Nees (Piqua) and Doug Frye (St. Marys Memorial).

This is the 52nd year for the Big 33 Game, and snaps a three-game win streak by the hosts.

North drops South

The North put a 49-7 pounding on the South in Saturday&amp;#8217;s 64th Ohio North-South Classic at Ohio Stadium. 

Area players on the South roster were Mark Mays (Northmont), Karlos Marshall (Springfield), Terrence Glenn (Dunbar), Allen Matthews (Xenia) and Mike Breland (St. Marys Memorial).

The North leads the series 38-23-3. 

A Classic record was probably set on Saturday: No OSU recruit played in the game. That&amp;#8217;s because six incoming Buckeyes were on the Ohio team at the Big 33 Game.

This is the fourth straight year those long-running all-star games have been played on the same date. Don&amp;#8217;t look for any changes. Both games were pushed back to June from traditional August dates to not interfere with preseason college camps. 

The all-star games also took a hit when high school seniors began graduating early to enroll in college.

<![CDATA[DAYTON &#8212; It&#8217;ll be the Greater Western Ohio Conference vs. the Greater Miami Conference at Welcome Stadium on the high school football season-opening 12th annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown.

In a doubleheader on Friday, Aug. 28, Northmont will play Lakota West at 6 p.m, followed by Wayne vs. Princeton at 8:30 p.m.

Wayne junior QB Braxton Miller is being heavily recruited; count OSU among the BCS powers to have already offered a scholarship. Miller has not given a verbal commitment to any school. DDN photo by Lisa Powell.

Princeton senior QB Spencer Ware has the attention of most BCS schools; he could land somewhere that also will allow him to play baseball. Photo by recruiting.scout.com.

The Wayne/Princeton matchup will feature two of the state&#8217;s best quarterbacks in Braxton Miller (Wayne) and Spencer Ware (Princeton). Miller is being recruited by Ohio State University. Like Miller, Ware is being pursued by many BCS heavyweights, and also is being wooed by big-time baseball programs.

&#8220;It should be a great night at the stadium with both of us,&#8221; said Northmont coach Lance Schneider after the matchups were finalized on Tuesday.

&#8220;With Miller and Ware in one game, it&#8217;ll be well worth the price of admission.&#8221;

Cincinnati teams will play in a doubleheader that Friday at UC&#8217;s Nippert Stadium. On Saturday, four more games will be played at Nippert, none featuring area teams.

None of the Welcome Stadium teams have played each other this decade. Wayne beat Lakota West 20-17 in last season&#8217;s Showdown and Northmont defeated Mason 28-17.

Wayne also defeated East St. Louis (Ill.) in last year&#8217;s Kirk Herbstreit Series. East St. Louis will play Cincinnati Elder in the nightcap of Saturday&#8217;s games at Nippert.

The Kirk Herbstreit Series will feature doubleheaders at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Aug. 29-30. No area teams will play.

Northmont (10-2) lost to only Division I state champion Cleveland St. Ignatius and state runner-up Cincinnati Elder last season. The Thunderbolts will be at St. Ig in Week 2.

&#8220;We have to replace a lot of guys,&#8221; Schneider said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got a long way to go. Thank goodness it&#8217;s only June.&#8221;

After Princeton, all that awaits the Warriors in their two other non-league games is Week 2 vs. Canton McKinley at Fawcett Stadium and Week 3 vs. visiting Cleveland Glenville. Both programs have produced scores of D-I players over the years and are consistent playoff participants. 

Both those games are on Saturday nights.

Tickets for the Crosstown Showdown games will go on sale at each school&#8217;s athletic office on July 1. Cost is $10, good for both games and $12 on game day.

Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown

Fri., Aug. 28 at Welcome Stadium

&bull; Northmont (10-2) vs. Lakota West (6-4, 6 p.m.

VERSATILE SENIOR-TO-BE

EXCITED ABOUT CARDINALS;

COULD MAKE QUICK IMPACT

ON THE VILLE&amp;#8217;S  SPECIAL TEAMS

Jordan Paschal will spend one more year as a Trotwood-Madison Ram, then he&amp;#8217;ll spread his wings and fly away with the Louisville Cardinals.

The 5-foot-10, 182-pound cornerback gave Louisville head coach Steve Kragthorpe an oral commitment on Sunday, June 14, at the Cardinals&amp;#8217; development camp for high school seniors.

Jordan Paschal

&amp;#8220;Louisville&amp;#8217;s a big school and it&amp;#8217;s close to home,&amp;#8221; said Paschal, who considered Indiana, Cincinnati, Akron and Central Michigan. &amp;#8220;They&amp;#8217;ve got a great coaching staff and nice facilities. It&amp;#8217;s a great opportunity for me and I&amp;#8217;m excited about my future.&amp;#8221;

Paschal is a versatile player who earned first team All-GWOC North honors as a junior for the 2008 Rams (4-6), who won four of their final five games after an 0-5 start to capture the North division title (4-0).

He recorded three interceptions for 23 yards, including a long gain of 15, and added two fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and a sack. The highlight of his season came against Wayne when he returned a fumble 94 yards for a touchdown.

Pascal also scored two offensive TDs &amp;#8212; one rushing and one receiving. He&amp;#8217;ll cover kicks at Louisville and be given a shot as the Cardinals&amp;#8217; punt returner.

&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m quick and I&amp;#8217;ll bring my (4.49) speed to the table,&amp;#8221; he said. &amp;#8220;I know I can impact special teams right away. 

&amp;#8220;To be a corner, you&amp;#8217;ve got to be smart, have good footwork and hips. You&amp;#8217;ve got to remember: The offense makes plays, too. For a corner, a short memory helps.&amp;#8221;

<title>CJ girls hoop on probation, fined by OHSAA for out-of-state event violation</title>

<![CDATA[The Chaminade Julienne High School girls basketball program has been placed on probation for two years and fined $2,500 for violating an out-of-state competition rule, said the Ohio High School Athletic Association in a release Friday, June 12.

CJ also will have its available coaching days reduced by two from June 1 to July 31 and its allowed scrimmages will be reduced this coming preseason from five and a foundation game to one.

The Eagles violated OHSAA Bylaw 9-2-1 while participating in the Nike Tournament of Champions at Phoenix, Ariz., last Dec. 18-22. CJ split four games.

The bylaw states that athletic teams cannot participate in out-of-state competition while school remains in session. CJ officials and the OHSAA differed in their interpretations of the bylaw.

&#8220;The process took some time because there were questions regarding the interpretation of the bylaw that needed to be answered,&#8221; OHSAA Commissioner Dan Ross said in the release.

&#8220;Those questions have been resolved, the school&#8217;s administrative staff is to be praised for its cooperation and I&#8217;m glad we are bringing this situation to finality.&#8221;

CJ was contacted by the OHSAA prior to leaving for the event that it could violate OHSAA rules  should the Eagles participate.

&#8220;It is important to know that CJ did not plan the tournament trip with disregard to OHSAA bylaws,&#8221; said Daniel J. Meixner, president of the school.

&#8220;When the difference of interpretation came to light, it was too late for CJ to withdraw from the tournament. We had made a commitment to the tournament organizers and to parents &#8212; and other family members &#8212; who had made travel arrangements. We believed we needed to find a solution that honored these commitments. That meant being prepared to accept possible sanctions prescribed by the OHSAA.&#8221;

Ross indicated the rule that CJ violated dates to when LeBron James starred at Akron St. Vincent/St. Mary. Like many high profile prep teams, the Irish toured the country James&#8217; senior season, often playing in national tournaments and exhibitions.

That&#8217;s the latest in a series of legal off-the-court events for the CJ girls basketball program since last season:

&bull; On May 28, former coach Marc Greenberg was indicted on 12 counts of using the Internet to transmit obscene materials to minors. Among his Internet postings were boasts that he had sexual contact with members of his teams. 

According to an FBI investigation, no member of last season&#8217;s team or any other CJ team that Greenberg has been associated with has confirmed that.

&bull; Last Jan. 14, a Montgomery County Common Pleas Court judge granted a permanent injunction that allowed Oakwood transfer Nicky Disbrow to be eligible to finish the season with CJ. Disbrow&#8217;s parents sued the OHSAA and CJ to allow the junior back on the court.

Disbrow&#8217;s transfer documents  were not submitted to the OHSAA by CJ before the June 1, 2008 deadline. CJ had to forfeit its season-opening defeat of Centerville because Disbrow had played, then was declared ineligible. She sat out the next two games and played in the Nike events.

CJ was 17-7 last season and tied Alter at 9-1 for the GGCL North title. CJ hopes to name a new girls varsity hoop coach this summer.

<![CDATA[That didn&#8217;t take long.

You can find a reader&#8217;s comment on this site that blasts Trotwood-Madison boys track and field coach Randy Waggoner. His sin? He switched out a member of 1,600-meter relay with rookie sophomore Michael Jordan for the state meet.

The Rams responded with an all-time, all-divisions record (3:13.32).

Waggoner has been coaching track in the Dayton area since the late &#8217;60s. He learned long ago that the team comes before the individual. He said as much following the Rams&#8217; latest historic run last Saturday.

When T-M coach Randy Waggoner speaks, the Rams listen/Photo by Lisa Powell

&#8220;I knew for us to run the kind of time we were going to run, I needed to put (Jordan) on the relay. I knew what he was capable of doing, and it just proved me to be true. 

&#8220;&#8230; You&#8217;ve got to always sit down and figure out, can I plug a kid in here or put a kid in there? A lot of people get upset with me when I make changes like that, but that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m paid to do: coach this track team.&#8221;

It&#8217;s a fine line to straddle, giving your team its best possible chance to win. What works one game &#8212; or race, or season &#8212; doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that it&#8217;ll work the next time. 

&bull; Is your hoop team better with an iron 5, or interchangable 9?

&bull; Should a football coach two platoon, or tap his best half-dozen for double duty?

&bull; Is a baseball team better off with an unhittable ace always going the distance, or grooming two capable relievers who you know will be needed down the postseason road?

As long as teams keep scores, standings and titles are at stake, coaches owe their programs, schools and communities the best teams that they can field. 

One word if the goal is for everyone to play and avoid hurt feelings: intramurals.

<![CDATA[Twenty-two of Chaminade Julienne&#8217;s recent graduates have signed national letters of intent to play sports in college. There&#8217;s no telling if that&#8217;s an all-time area record, but it has to be close.

Ben Quinttus (Ohio Wesleyan, soccer), Adrian Warfield (Georgetown, Ky., football), Michael Raiff (Ohio Northern, baseball), Patrick Bruggeman (Wittenberg, football) and Matt Miller (Western Arizona CC, football) were the latest to join the club on the recent spring athlete recognition night at the school.

They join previous CJ signees:

Shene Fleming

&bull; Eric Abney (Wright State University, bowling); 

&bull; Taylor Beyerle (University of Dayton, cross country/track); 

&bull; Nicole Campbell (Dusquene, crew); 

&bull; Isaiah Cordell (Findlay, football); 

&bull; Shene Fleming (St. Francis, basketball); 

&bull; Zak Hadaway (UD, golf); 

&bull; Anne Haley (Williams, rowing); 

&bull; Danheisha Harding (Eastern Kentucky, track); 

&bull; Kurt Hess (Youngstown State, football); 

&bull; Sam Jandel (Illinois, golf); 

&bull; Alex Kauth (Air Force, lacross); 

&bull; Chris Myton (Cincinnati, soccer); 

&bull; Mariah Nussbaum (Radford, volleyball); 

&bull; Katie Plieman (Xavier, tennis); 

&bull; Lisa Treadway (Miami, volleyball); 

&bull; Jessica Yaney (Otterbein, soccer); 

&bull; Samantha Zimmerman (Mercyhurst, tennis).

Also, Jenny Nicholson won&#8217;t be playing sports at Louisville, but she has accepted a scholarship to pursue a degree as a team trainer. Close enough.
