ANDERSON TOWNSHIP — Azone change that would clearthewayforKroger toexpand itsAnderson Township store byabout 50,000 square feet andaddnewservices suchasapick-up area for online shoppers willnow go before the township’sboard of trustees on Dec. 18 fora final decision.

At a Nov. 24 hearing, the An-derson Township Zoning Com-

mission voted 3-0 – with a cou-ple of minor changes to staffrecommendations – to allow thezone change from “C” resi-dence, “E” Retail and “E PUD”Retail to “EE” Planned Retailfor Kroger’s property at 7580Beechmont Ave.

Kroger’s plan calls for addi-tional landscaping and nearly adozen traffic improvements inaccordance with a traffic im-pact analysis of Beechmont Av-enue, Wolfangel Road, BowenAvenue and Towne CenterWay,

as well as neighbors’ recom-mendations on how to improvetraffic flow. As part of the ex-pansion, drive thru lanes for theKroger pharmacy and the bankwould be extended further eastand there would be an addition-al pharmacydrive thruwindow.

Zoning Commission Alter-nates Christine Cook and JayLewis joined chair Matt VanSant in the vote, after fourmembersof the zoningcommis-sion were not present at theNov. 24 hearing because of con-

flicts of interest with Kroger orpersonal conflicts.

The Anderson TownshipBoard of Trustees has the finalsayonwhetheranyzonechangeis approved or denied, Ander-son Township Zoning DirectorPaul Drury said.

If trustees approve the zonechange at their regularmeetingon Dec. 18 or a later date, theKroger Co. would then be re-quired to submit a final devel-opment plan to the zoning com-mission that includes project

details, as well as any changesrecommended by the trusteesor the various planning and zon-ing bodies that have reviewedthe proposed zone change.

Representatives of Cincin-nati-based Kroger Co. said theyhope to complete the processfor the proposed expansion byFebruary, start building the ad-dition to the east of the existingstore by next fall, and have agrand reopening in fall 2016.

“This is bringing a story inthe Bible to the 21st century,”said The Rev. Ken Atchison.“(It’s) helping people under-stand what took place.”

Atchison said planning fortheNativity began a year ago.

“It’s unique in the sensewenormally do drama andmusicin the sanctuary,” Atchisonsaid.

The Nativity was orga-nized by the church’s musiccommittee and will featureanimals, music and a narra-tive prepared by parishionerAndy Bartmess.

Many of the parishionerscontributed their skills in cre-ating the Nativity with someevenmakingcostumes for theproduction.

Todd Racer, a praise direc-tor at the church, built thestructure which will be usedto house the re-enacters andanimals.Racerhad some lum-ber left over at his farm andvolunteered to make it, saidPamWallace, amemberof thechurch’s music committee.

Many of the concernsraised by the AndersonKroger’s neighbors haverevolved around how theexpansion would affecttraffic patterns withinAnderson Towne Centerand adjacent residentialneighborhoods.

As part of the pro-posed redevelopment,

partofTowneCenterWaywould be vacated, and aportion of Bowen Streetwould be relocated.Three access points onBeechmont Avenue, andsix on Wolfangel Roadwould be closed, alongwith two curb cuts on Bo-wen Street.

Proposed improve-ments also include a traf-fic signal at Bowen andWolfangel, thecreationofleft turn lanes fromnorthand southbound Wolfan-

gel Road to BeechmontAvenue, creation of aright turn lane fromsouthbound WolfangelRoad to Beechmont Ave-nue, lengthening of theexisting left turn lanefrom southboundWolfan-gel Road to Arlington Av-enue, construction ofnewsidewalks on BeechmontAvenue, Wolfangel Road,Bowen Street and TowneCenterWay and reconfig-uration of Towne CenterWay/Bowen Street to cre-

ate a better alignment forimproved traffic flow.

If the 10-year-old An-derson Kroger is allowedto expand, anewprogrambeing developed wouldallow customers of thatstore to shop online andpickup their order at des-ignated times.The trafficflow for online shoppingwould be identified in thefinal development plan.

The southeast cornerof the site, a one-acre sitebordered by WolfangelRoad and Beechmont Av-

enue,would be developedby Kroger with yet-to-benamed tenants in a build-ing or buildings encom-passing about 18,000

square feet around anoutdoor plaza. The tenta-tive completion datewould be spring 2017.

The holiday shoppingseason is now officiallyunder way, and with thatthe owners of many local-ly owned shops are hope-ful that they will be re-membered as shopperssearch for the idea gifts.

Among the hopefulbusinesses is Story BookKids, 10725 ReadingRoad, in Evendale. A fam-ily owned business that’sbeen around since the1980s, family member JillCowmansaid that theholi-day season is “huge” fortheir business.

Within the shop’s wallsand its online store, shop-pers can find an expan-sive selection of gifts.From collectibles to sea-sonal, the shop has it, shesaid. For example, thestore has about 6,000 dif-ferent styles of glass or-naments.

What sets Story BookKids apart from the “bigboxstores” is that itoffersshoppers the opportunityto find gifts that areunique and special, Cow-man said.

Four years ago, Amer-ican Express foundedSmall Business Saturdayto help family-ownedbusinesses to attract cus-tomers during the holidayshoppingseason. It’sadayfor which Cowman saidshe’s grateful.

“I think it’s wonder-ful,” she said. “I think itshould be more than one

day a year. It’s nice thatAmerican Express doesthat. It brings us back tohowtheUnitedStateswasbuilt on thesmallbusinessand the families.”

At the MontgomeryCyclery shop, 8483Beechmont Ave., in An-derson Township, man-agerRobReeves said thatSmall Business Saturdayhas been helpful. “Wehave participated the lastcouple of years,” he said.The holiday season is alsoan important time for thislocally owned business.

Of course, when itcomes to bicycles, thewarmer the weather thebetter for business, henoted.

Joe Stagge, owner ofPit Row Radio ControlRacing, 7796 Montgome-ry Road, in SycamoreTownship, has participat-ed in Small Business Sat-urday since its introduc-tion. Each year it’s gottenbetter.

“I think it’s great tobring awareness to smallbusiness,” he said. “Let’sface it, the competition istough.”

Forhisshop,whichspe-cializes in plastic carmodels, rockets and a va-riety of radio-controlledtoys, the competition isnotonlyfromneighboringshops but also the Inter-net. Pit Rowdoes not havean online store.

The holiday shoppingseason typically repre-sents about 30-40 percentof retail sales for tradi-tional stores, Stagge said.For Pit Row that figure ismore like 15-20 percent.

“It’s important,” hesaid. “If therewas no holi-day, it might make a dif-ference between whetherwe’re here or not.”

Removal of theWassonWayProject fromarecentcommittee agenda hasn’talarmed supporters.

During a Nov. 21 Cin-cinnati Planning Commis-sion meeting City Man-agerHarryBlack pulled atransportation item fromthe agenda related to theWassonWay Project.

The Wasson Way Pro-ject involves converting6.5 miles of railroad trackinto a recreational hikingand biking trail whichwouldextendfromtheLit-

tle Miami Bike Trail inNewtown through thecommunities of HydePark, Oakley, Mariemontand several others.

The project has beenunder discussion for anumber of years while ef-forts are being made toprocure the right of wayfrom rail owner NorfolkSouthern.

Although the initialplan was for a hike andbike trail, the city hasbeen looking to eventuallyincorporate light rail intothe plan.

Some have viewed therecentremovalof the item

as a slap in the face to railtransit supporters.

Jay Andress, whoserves on theWassonWayProject board, however,said it’s simply amatter ofinterestedpartiesneedingmore information.

“The reason it waspulled was simply be-cause nobody really un-

derstands the transporta-tion overlay district,” hesaid. “It hasn’t been de-fined yet by the PlanningCommission.”

Further complicatingmatters, Andress said anumber of area councilshave been told WassonWay would be zoned forparksandrecreation.Thishas yet to be resolved aswell.

There were all of these“unknowns’ when thiswent up for a vote, An-dress said.

Rob Pasquinucci,board president of theHyde Park Neighborhood

Council, agrees that amore solidified plan mov-ing forward will help.

“We are pro-WassonWay and want to see itbuilt as quickly as possi-ble,” he said. “(However),I know they needmore in-formation.”

This sentiment wasechoed by Craig Rozen,board president of theOakley Community Coun-cil.

“It makes sense to dothe appropriate due dili-gence as it relates to plan-ning and approval,” hesaid.

Rozen is also an advo-cate of the Wasson WayProject.

“(This) could have anenormous impact not juston the adjacent communi-ties of Oakley and HydePark but for all of Cincin-nati.”

Andress said if any-thing the project con-tinues to move forward.

“We (have) met withMayor Cranley, and ev-erything is progressing,”Andress said. “We fullyexpect theproject tomoveforward aggressively, andwe hope to announce afundraising campaign.”Andress aid this fundrais-ing campaign is being tar-geted for the spring.

Pasquinucci said theWassonWay Project is es-

sential to initiatives beingplanned for East HydePark, which is celebratingits 100th anniversary in2015.

He said the Hyde ParkNeighborhood Councilhas invited Andress toprovide an update on theproject in January.

OK so Thanksgivingis over and now the realhectic rush begins. Wefinished stringing lightson the outdoor pines and

are puttingup thewreaths onthe win-dows latertoday.There willbe a lot ofactivity inmy kitch-en, as well.My some-what loftygoal this

year is to have all thefood gifts finished aweek ahead of Christ-mas. Stay tuned…

Baked acorn squashwith nutmeg,cinnamon andbrown sugar

I saw this on TV andliked the fact that itwasn’t overly loadedwith sugar, butter,cream, etc. You canmake as many as youlike.

I showed these on Fox19 when I did the week-end show with DanWells and JessicaBrown.

They wanted sidedishes for the holidaysfor a small family. Thisfills the bill and wouldbe a nice accompani-ment for that holidayham or pork.

Here’s my adaptation:2 acorn squashes,

cut in half and seededOlive oil3 tablespoons un-

salted butter1/4 cup dark or light

brown sugar1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon each,

freshly grated nutmegand cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400°F.Rub the inside of the

squashes with olive oil.Place on sprayed pancut-side down. Bake for30-40 minutes or untilsoft.

While the squashbake, prepare the brownsugar mixture. In asmall pot, combine thebutter, brown sugar, saltand spices over lowheat. Heat until buttermelts and sugar dis-solves.

When the squash

halves are ready, flipthem over and drizzlethe brown sugar mix-ture on the inside cavity.Place the pan in the ovenfor an additional 5-10minutes or until brownand bubbling.

Slow cookerbreakfast egg andsausage casserole

A perennial favorite.I like to thaw the hashbrowns a bit, but someof my readers like topour the frozen hashbrowns straight fromthe bag.

Now remember yourslow cooker may take alittle less, or a littlemore, time. Last time Imade this I used 1-1/2pounds sausage, and itwas good.

2 pounds frozenshredded hash browns- either shredded ordiced

1 to 1-1/2 poundssausage, cooked andcrumbled

1 bunch green on-ions, finely sliced, bothwhite and green parts

1 pound shreddedcheese

12 eggs1/3 cup milk1/2 teaspoon garlic

powder1/2 teaspoon dry

mustardSalt and pepperSpray 6-quart slow

cooker/crockpot. Layer1/3 potatoes on bottom,sprinkle with salt andpepper and top with 1/3sausage, sprinkle withsalt and pepper, add 1/3onions and cheese,sprinkle with salt andpepper.

Repeat layers 2 moretimes, ending withcheese.

Whisk eggs, milk,garlic powder and mus-tard. Cook on low 6-8hours or high 4-5.

Tip from reader’skitchen:

“Try a combo of hamand bacon instead ofsausage”, one readersuggested.

Kids in the kitchen:milk chocolatepeanut butter bark

My granddaughter,Emerson, loves milk

chocolate and peanutbutter. She’ll be makingthis with me as a giftfrom the kitchen. I putthe peanuts in a heavyzip lock and let herpound them with a min-iature Lebanese “indua”- an olive wood pestle.

1 bag each, about 12oz., milk chocolate andpeanut butter chips

1 very generous cupor so chopped saltedpeanuts

Line cookie sheetwith foil. Melt chips andstir in peanuts. Pouronto cookie sheet about1/4” thick. Break intopieces after it is set.

As we approach the end ofanother year, I’ve been think-ing back even farther – to theadolescent years that led me tothe place I am today.

After graduating college, Iworked one of the most fulfill-ing, impactful jobs I couldimagine, and I’m now pursuinga master’s degree in a field Ilove. But none of that wouldhave been possible without theguidance, love, and support ofmy teachers in Cincinnati.

Three years ago, my collegegraduation day was approach-ing and I had no idea what todo next. Until that point, I’dalways had a plan, so I foundthe uncertainty borderlinepetrifying. In the midst of mypanic, mymom, an eighthgrade English teacher at TheSummit Country Day School,

suggested Iapply to TeachFor America.

I didn’tknowmuchabout TFA orthe tremen-dous gaps ineducationalopportunity itaims to ad-dress. I got anincredible

education at Summit, andwhile I knew that not all kidshad the same good fortune as Idid, I didn’t realize how glaringthe disparities in our country’seducation system can be.

As I was applying, I learnedthat just six percent of stu-dents growing up in our low-est-income communities willgraduate from college by the

time they’re 25. I comparedthis stat to my own reality – Ihad not only mymom, butteachers like Ms. Cruse Suder,Ms. Cronin, Ms. Haas, Ms.Cramer, andMr. Hilton makingsure I had what I needed tocreate the future I envisionedfor myself. It was because oftheir support that I went tocollege and now had plenty ofoptions for my next steps. Withthese educators in mind, Iaccepted a position with TFA,an organization that recruitscollege graduates and profes-sionals to teach in high-needschools and advocate for edu-cational equity.

At Parma CommunitySchool in Cleveland, I taughthigh school science and con-tinued to learn. TFA gave meincredible support and profes-

sional development that helpedme become a more confidentteacher and a more engagedcitizen. My students taught methat a little creativity and ef-fort could make a huge differ-ence for kids. My fellow teach-ers and I developed a newscience curriculum, a gay-straight alliance and a FIRSTrobotics team. We took ourkids on field trips to just aboutanywhere that would expandtheir horizons.

Through all of this, I real-ized howmuch kids wouldbenefit from outdoor educationprograms, a longtime passionof mine. I’m currently pursu-ing myMaster’s degree inEnvironmental Studies with afocus in Environmental Educa-tion.

I hope to found a school that

provides a holistic approach toenvironmental and outdooreducation, financially acces-sible to all students.

I’m so grateful to mymomfor encouraging me to startthis journey.

To move towards the daywhen all of Ohio’s studentshave access to an excellenteducation, we need more peo-ple to choose education.Whether you’re looking tomake a bigger impact yourselfor know someone else who is,consider teaching. We can giveour kids the future they de-serve.

Nov. 26 questionIf the Republican-controlled

Senatewhich takes office inJanuary passes a bill green-light-ing the Keystone XL pipeline,should the president sign the billor veto it? Why?

“Sign it! It’s time he triedsomething new like going alongwith what the American peoplewant, not just what EmperorObama dreams up in his ownlittle head.”

M.J.F.

“He should have encouragedit a long time ago from theDemocratic Senate. The oil willflow to U.S. refineries for saleabroad and in the U.S., it willhelp establish the U.S. as themajor petroleum producer inthe world, it will provide thou-sands of jobs, and it will bringdown the price of processedpetroleum products.”

D.B.

“I believe he would veto it.Much like the immigrationissue the president no longerhas elections to restrain himand will do as he wants. Thepresident has often stated theonly way to curve America’suse of oil is to drive the cost upso high that they are forced to.”

Terry Smith

“I think he’ll veto. I read thatWarren Buffet is the chairmanof the company that owns theBSFN railroad, which owns allthe tracks between the US andWestern Canada. They haulabout 80 percent of the oil tothe US andmake about 2 billiona year doing so. The keystonecould potentially cost them thatincome (and thus the very gen-erous contributions and fund-raisers for the DemocraticParty). This issue has little todo with environmental con-cerns. Like everything inWash-ington, it’s all about the money.”

Bobbi Layne Kayser

“Yes! He should sign it!! Thereasons are many....jobs, oilindependence from theMiddleEast, monies coming to our USeconomy from oil exporting...toname a few!”

Linda Ann Salsbury

“No veto! Blocking the Key-stone XL Pipeline will not keepthe oil in the ground, nor will itdecrease America’s consump-tion of fossil fuels. What it willdo is guarantee continuingunemployment for tens of thou-sands of American construc-tion, manufacturing, trans-portation and refinery workers.It will also keep America vul-nerable to oil supply interrup-tion and high prices from un-stable, foreign oil-producingnations.”

Pamela Robinson Porter

“He needs to sign it ... thatdoesn’t mean he will. We needmore independence from for-eign oil and the extra jobs arealso verymuch needed.”

Joy Kent Tarleton

“The environmental con-cerns are phony anyway. Theyfeign concern while using oilfrom all over the world andthey care nothing about anyendangered creatures or envi-

ronmental impacts on thosecountries. I say use every avail-able energy source we can andlower the overall cost to con-sumers putting moremoney inour pockets to spend on a larg-er variety of products than oiland gas. An added benefit tothose that hate on the rich is itputs less income in their pock-ets andmore in ours. Addition-ally, Obama will not OK theKeystone, his goal as presidentwas never to create jobs andimprove the economy, that isboring stuff to an activist presi-dent.”

Paul W. Queen

“Everyone who supports theXL pipeline needs to volunteerto have it run through theirown backyards. Obama couldhave stopped this with a strokeof a pen years ago. He’s signingany bill. This fix is in well andtruly in.”

Tom Streeter

Nov. 19 questionWhat is your favorite local

holiday event/tradition/deco-ration(s)? Whatmakes it special?

“I like the Christkindlmarktat Germania Park onWest

Kemper Road (last) weekend.It’s a German Christmas partylike they have in Germany.Great food and drinks, Germanmusic, petting zoo for the kids.Pictures with St. Nick.”

Mike Billow

“Every Christmas Eve we goto the Conservatory to see theNativity.”

Terry Smith

“Going to cut a live tree atone of the local tree farms.”

John Scales

“It’s not in Boone County butI love going to see the Christ-mas lights at the Zoo! It is sopretty and has been some of myfondest Christmas memorieswith my family.”

Alexis Burgess

“We take our daughter toFountain Square on a Saturdaynight in December to go iceskating, drink hot chocolateand watch Santa rappel off theroof of theMacy’s building.We’ve been doing this for sevenyears now and this year wehave a new little one so we getto start the tradition with hertoo!”

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONThe Ohio Senate has passed abill which would mandate that apolice officer be present at anyintersection or place where redlight cameras and traffic controlcameras are used. Is this goodlegislation? Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers [email protected] withCh@troom in the subject line.

We all enjoy watching agood movie, and I’m sure wedon’t all like the same kind.

The ladies perhaps enjoywatching a romance or a mys-tery, while guys tend to likeaction movies. However, on arare occasion, we find a moviewith all those ingredients.Years ago there was a moviecalled “The Sting” starringRobert Redford and Paul New-man. The bad guys set a trapfor the good guys but end upfalling into it themselves. Inthe end, the tables are turnedand the good guys come outahead.

Well, the book of Esthercontains one of the most excit-ing stings in all of literature,

with a plot thatcontains moretwists and turnsthan a Ken-tucky back-road. Now, Irealize youknow the storyquite well, butlet’s look at itwith a fresh setof eyes. KingXerxes was the

ruler of the world at that time,and he decides to have a partyto end all parties. Vashti, thequeen, is summoned to come inand parade herself aroundbefore the king and all hisdrunken buddies.

Vashti, although not Jewish,

was a woman of character andconviction…she refused. Theking is outraged, and orderedher banished from the king-dom, because he wanted every-one to knowwho wore the togain his family. Sadly, we don’thear from queen Vashti again-…ladies, notice, she still did theright thing. She didn’t compro-mise herself or her integrityeven though she suffered theconsequences.

It’s here we begin to see theinvisible finger of God at workbehind the scenes to bringabout deliverance for his peo-ple, as Esther is chosen to be-come the queen of the entirePersian empire. Mordecai isplaced by God at just the right

place to hear about an assassi-nation plot of the king. Theconspirators are put to death.In the meantime Haman putstogether a plot for an ancientholocaust.

Mordecai pleads with Es-ther to take a stand and use herposition on behalf of the Jews,but Esther’s initial response isone of fear, because youcouldn’t just walk in unan-nounced into the king’s pres-ence. Mordecai responds,“Don’t kid yourself, don’t thinkyou’ll escape the holocaustonce your nationality becomesknown. And if you don’t dosomething, God will send some-one else to replace you. Thiscould be your purpose in life!”

Esther’s faith and couragekicks in, and she tells Mordecaishe will risk her life, and gointo the king.

Later, Haman’s plot to de-stroy all the Jews is thwarted,and he was hung on the gallowshe had constructed for Morde-cai, and the Jews are allowed todefend themselves. The stingwas now complete, because ofEsther’s courage, her peoplewere now saved!

Taking a moral stand is noteasy. It’s often controversialand unpopular. But remember,you were created on purpose,for a purpose.

MTWASHINGTON After fin-ishing second in the GCL Coedand a fourth consecutive win-ning season, the McNicholasRockets are looking, like manyteams, to combine a solid groupof seniorswith a younger groupof players.

“I think we have a goodgroup of seniors who will becalled to be great leaders forthis team,” head coach TimMo-nahan said. “We have four sen-iors with varsity experience sothem helping our younger var-sity players to feel comfortableand confident throughout theseason will be very importantfor us.”

The seniors: Greg Kent, An-drew Schuerman, Kyle Morris-roe and Jacob Bradley willshoulder most of the Rockets’burden this season.

Kent led the GCL in assistslast year as a junior andSchuer-man was one of the team’s topthree players on team last yearbefore a season-ending injury.Bradley and Morrisroe bothplayed significant minutes asjuniors last season.

Similar toMcNick, ChrisDe-Lotell thinkshisAndersonRed-skins have good senior leader-ship.

“We feel like we are furtheraheadat this point thanwewerelast year,” DeLotell said. “Now,it’s about how that all translatesto the season.”

DeLotell said his senior cen-ter Jackson Long is one of thesmartest players he’s coachedand will be an important pres-ence in the post. He added thatCory Hinaman also possess ahigh basketball IQ.

In addition to those two play-ers, he will look for contribu-tions from Bryan Vorderbrueg-gen and Blake White.

“Bryan is a good shooter andrebounder and Blake will playouton thewingforus,”DeLotellsaid. “He was all-league in foot-ballandhasgaineda lotofconfi-dence.”

Even though senior leader-ship is key, the Redskins areplacing more emphasis onbuilding a culture of toughnessand hard work. Over the sum-mer, DeLotell had the kids allread “Toughness” by Jay Bilas.

“Last season, we finished 4-19 andno onehad fun,”DeLotellsaid. “There are two ways youcan look at that record: it cantamp down your desire for nextseason or make you hungrier. Ithink our guys are taking thesecond option.”

Turpin enters this seasonwith new philosophies. Headcoach Ryan Krohn said theSpartans will run a more openconcept on offense and play adefensive style aimed at deny-ing the passing lanes.

“Wewant to get up and downthe floor, the pressure the otherteam and score a lot of pointswith ball movement,” Krohnsaid. “In years past,we played amore relaxed style of defense.Now,wewant to challengepass-ing lanes.”

Turpin will get contributions

from junior point guard Bran-don Holaday, backup pointguard A’drien Baker, seniorAdam Toerner, Isiah Bostic andRichie Simmons.

After winning two straightOhio Christian School AthleticAssociation state champion-ship, MVCA enters a differentandexciting2014-15season.TheLions begin OHSAA play in Di-vision IV andwill compete for astate titleagainstpublicandpri-vate schools for the first time.There is a new coach at thehelm, and a different philoso-phy on offense and defense.

Marty Carter takes over forPat Pugh and inherits three re-turning starters from last

year’s16-5 squad. Junior guardsJake Kaiser and Jamie Carsonwill carry the teamwhile seniorguardMaliqueWard, last year’sleading scorer, works backfrom an injury suffered duringthe football season.

The players are excitedabout themove to OHSAA com-petition and the opportunitiesthat it presents. If Ward, who isapproaching the 1,000-pointbenchmark, can return quickly,the Lions should be able to postanother winning season.

With a guard-heavy lineup,Carter is implementing an of-fense and defense that focus onhis roster’s strengths. Withoutmuch of a post presence, the Li-

onswill try tobeamoreup-tem-po team on both ends of thecourt.

“We lost our post player sowewill need to rely on our over-all athleticism. We will be play-ing a lot of guards,” said Carter.“Our success will depend a lotthe health ofMalique and on theplayers learning how to playman-to-man defense and how torunMotion offense.”

MVCAopens the seasonwiththree straight road contests, be-ginning on Dec. 5 at DaytonChristian.

Coming off a 9-13 season andgoingwinless in theGCL South,St. Xavier High School willhavea lot toplay for this season.

Of course, the Bombers play inoneof themoredifficult confer-ences, ,whichmeans there’s nota whole lot of room for error.

St.X returns just one starter,senior guard Jack Westerfield,who averaged 4.2 points pergame and led the team in freethrow shooting (87.5 percent)and 3-point shooting (40 per-cent).

The Bombers will have tofind a way to replace RoderickMills, who led the GCL in scor-ing last season (18.9).

LookforJamesHeskett,SamMartin, Henry Keuchly andHunter Lampley to step into in-tegral roles this season.

The Bombers open at homeagainst Turpin Dec. 5.

In the Miami Valley Confer-ence, Patrick Cosgrove entershis first season at the helm ofSummit Country Day. Thisyear’sSilverKnights teamhasastandard to meet as it replacesthe most successful class inschool history.

“We are very young, butvery athletic and talented. Wewill be able to score and have achance to be a very good teamwhen we all learn and buy intothe defensive philosophy,” Cos-grove said. “The level of expec-tation will not be lowered andwe have the right youngmen inour program to rise to the chal-lenge.”

Evan Davis, C.J. Suggs, Na-than Melson, T.J. Walker andCameron Bell are five playersto keep an eye on this season forthe Silver Knights.

They will be tasked withpicking up a sixth consecutivewinning season and defendinglast year’s league title.

A program that has won 74games over the past four sea-sons doesn’t need to reload. De-spite losing its head coach andtop returning player to PurcellMarian in the offseason, ClarkMontessori is again in positionfor awinning season and shot atthe Miami Valley Conferencecrown.

The Cougars will be a guard-heavy teamthis yearundernewhead coach Darnell Parker.Point guard Kevin Lewis andforward Torraye Shattuck re-turn to the starting lineup andhave been providing seniorleadership all offseason.Guards Micah Blythe, MosiDaniel, andRaheemDotsonwillbeaskedtostep into largerrolesthis season.

Parker does not plan onmak-ing any dramatic changes, andhe doesn’t need to. The Cougarsreturn an experienced core ofseniors who are accustomed towinning. Theywill be one of themost veteran teams in the area,with six seniors and five juniorson the roster.

“Our seniors have done agreat job of setting the tone thisoffseason, and our players havebeen extremely committed tothe program,” said Parker.“This program was built de-fense and toughness, and thatwill continue to be our callingcard.”

“Developingourchem-istry will be our mostchallengingventureaswewill play one of the tough-est schedules in the city,”said head coach RicardoHill. “Althoughour sched-ule will challenge us on anightly basis, we also feelthat itwillprepareusforanice tournament run atthe end of the season.”

The teamspent the off-seasonworking on addingstrength and buildingdepth. They want to winevery contested play atthe rim. The Eagles

should be one of the deep-est teams in the city.Guards LaineHarrett andD.J. Benson are marks-men off the bench. Fresh-men Hunter Davidsonand Kameron Gibson willbe expected to contributeright away. With a mix ofexperienced leaders andyoung talent, the Eaglesare a team on a mission.

“Our team chemistryshould develop into one ofour strengths throughoutthe season,” saidHill. “Wehave a lot of unselfishguys with a lot of abilitythat would allow us tocompete with anyone inthe state.”
