Indian Hill High School grad-uating senior AlexandraHart has found strength can

come from weakness. Hart, who is a resident of

Kenwood, was diagnosed witha brain tumor during her ju-nior year.

“I was diagnosed in Octobertwo days before my birthday,”she said.

Hart said she was fortunatein that she was able to pickwhen she could have her sur-gery.

“Being me, I chose when I’dmiss the least amount ofschool,” she said.

Despite the challenge ofmissing several weeks of

school during the winter, Hartwas able to maintain a 3.9grade point average.

She even resumed her in-volvement as a cheerleadershortly after her return.

“I was still able to do thekicks and cheers on theground,” she said.

Hart said she only toldabout 10 of her classmates thatshe would be having surgery.

“I didn’t want to be treatedany differently,” she said.

However, she said shelearned a lesson from the expe-rience. “At your weakest mo-ment is when you find yourdrive and motivation,” shesaid.

In addition to cheerleading,Hart has served as a freshmanmentor and is part of the Na-tional Honor Society. Duringthe past few summers, she hastraveled to Mexico to buildchurches with Back to BackMinistries.

Hart will attend the Univer-sity of Cincinnati this fall. Sheplans to major in business andSpanish.

Brain tumor doesn’t deterIndian Hill cheerleader

We began the tradition more than a decade ago, and every year the stories continue to inspire, andsometimes amuse. This is our annual salute to members of the Class of 2015 – those graduating seniors

with a unique story to tell. We call them our Grade A Graduates.

Athletics student’sprescription for recovery

Indian Hill High School graduating senior Mikayla Ger-main refused to let a health condition impact her last yearin high school.

At the beginning of the school year, Germain startingexperiencing muscle weakness in her shoulders and legs tothe extent she needed to use a wheelchair.

However, Germain, who is an avid sporting enthusiast,refused to be deterred.

“I pushed myself to walk and use crutches till I wasstrong enough,” she said.

At the time she wasn’t sure whether she would walkagain, but Germain said she was determined to resumeathletics.

“I definitely wasn’t going to miss out on basketball andsoftball,” she said.

Her persistence paid off. Despite occasionally re-expe-riencing some of the symptoms, she returned to bothsports. She said the cause was never fully determined, butthe doctors speculate it may have had to do with an ad-verse reaction to medication she was taking.

“I had a very positive attitude,” she said. “That helpedme get on my feet.”

Positive support from family and friends also helped inher recovery, she said.

Germain, who is a resident of Indian Hill, is active withMatthew 25: Ministries and has also helped at SteppingStones.

Germain will attend Xavier University, where she plansto major in sports marketing.

Senior spends summershelping at Stepping Stones

Wonder where Gusty Pohlmanspends her summers?

“I like to work with these kids,”Pohlman said. “Most of them areunique, fun kids who deserve to havea summer with opportunities to learnand play.”

Pohlman has made an effort to

assist the same group of childreneach summer she has been at Step-ping Stones. A number of the chil-dren are autistic.

“A lot of people are blessed tohave lives without a huge amount ofhardship,” Pohlman said. “I believe itis important to give your time andcare to people who are less fortunate.It’s the best feeling to help others.”

At 4 feet, Country Day seniorsays height is an advantage onthe football field

Cincinnati Country Day School grad-uating senior Ryan Davis considers hisheight an advantage on the footballfield.

“(My) greatest strength is beingable to get low,” said Davis, who is fourfeet tall. “(It) makes it harder for theopposing lineman to get me.”

Davis, who is a resident Milford, hasbeen on the football team since middleschool playing safety and later in thenose guard position in high school.

He is a recipient of the Tom PotterMemorial Award of Courage, an honorgiven to football players who haveovercome a physical obstacle. Theaward is bestowed by the NationalFootball Foundation.

“I like to view my accomplishmentas an inspiration to other people insimilar situations,” Davis said, addingthat he hopes to show people that cer-tain physical limitations shouldn’t dis-courage them.

He said his involvement in the BoyScouts has served as a personal in-spiration.

In 2013 Davis achieved second placein the power lifting competition at the

World Dwarf Games. He said he hasbeen able to bench press about 200pounds.

He will attend Valparaiso Universitythis fall, where he plans to major incivil engineering.

Madeira seniorovercomes healthchallenges,triumphs as student

You will not find thename Ethan Fitter on thelist of top 10 seniorsgraduating this yearfrom Madeira HighSchool.

Yet, he is among theschool’s top academicperformers. Grades arenot important to Fitter,but he enjoys learningand challenges.

He knows a lot aboutchallenges. In fact, sincehis middle school yearsFitter has faced health-challenges that mighthave sidelined manypeople. Not Fitter. Forhim, his challenges havenot defined him but in-stead allowed him tomature and grow.

Quietly, Fitter goesabout life enjoying themany triumphs of highschoo,l not calling atten-tion to his successes orchallenges. Yet, he’squick to share the suc-cess stories of hisfriends.

His mom, Sharon Fit-ter, knows this. Like anyparent, she’s proud of herson. She loves his abilityto see the good in others.Sharon Fitter is verycomfortable talkingabout her son’s successesand challenges.

The challenges beganthe summer betweenFitter’s seventh- andeighth-grade years. Hespent 23 days in the hos-pital as doctors watchedand worked to provide a

diagnosis. Crohn’s Dis-ease. The diagnosis andillness led to a couplemore lengthy hospitalstays and eventually acolostomy.

As a result of his expe-riences, Fitter said, “Iknow more about whathardship really is.”

Since this procedure,Fitter has done every-thing he can to live thelife of a typical teen. Hewas first board for thechess team for two yearsand also participated inthe Queen City Classic(where he earned a firstplace in nonrated seniorsthis year and Madeiratook first place for itsthird consecutive year).He was also a finalist forthe chess scholarship.

He’s A National Honor

Society inductee. First trumpet all four

years, section leader formarching band his senioryear, member of a fea-ture quartet his senioryear, and in jazz bandwon the Louis ArmstrongJazz Award. He’s a mem-ber of the CincinnatiYouth Jazz Orchestra andwon several OMEA hon-ors.

He plays second dou-bles. His junior year heand his partner, RobbyElkin, won the most valu-able player award. Thisyear and last year, he andhis partner won seconddoubles in the CoachesClassic Tournament.

This year he was onthe Academic Team, JV,with a specialty of raretrivia knowledge.

Fitter also works tohelp others like himself.One of his most impor-tant accomplishments,which is Crohn’s related,is the creation of an osto-my kit, Sharon Fittersaid. This is somethingthat’s given to new pa-tients who get a stomaand the bag. His Ostomykit provides advice tonew patients from whatclothes to wear to how totalk to friends, she said.He also tells them aboutpuppets that are avail-able with stomas.

Ethan Fitter will at-tend Northern KentuckyUniversity. He’s not de-clared a major but iscertain he will continueto study jazz trumpet.

JUNE 11, 2015 • INDIAN HILL JOURNAL • 5ANEWS

When we were growing up (back in thedark ages as my kids say) we didn’t celebrateFather’s day with the hoopla like we do today,

but Mom did fix a special din-ner for our Dad.

He enjoyed his day by plant-ing zinnias and marigolds inthe tiny patch of earth on theleft side of the front steps ofour home.

Each year I plant zinniasand marigolds in the Biblesection of my herb garden nearthe Mary statute to honor myDad.

Now my husband, Frank, ismaking it easy for me on Dad’s day. He re-quested this moist almond pound cake alongwith one more thing: “Peace and quiet.”

The pound cake is a given, the peace and

quiet is debatable. And for all of our Dads inour community newspaper family, I hope youhave the best Father’s Day ever, filled withfamily, friends, and food.

Can you help?Recipe, menu needed from tearooms of

CincinnatiCynthia Beischel is working on a cook-

book about the tearooms of Cincinnati.If you have any recipes from McAlpin’s

tearoom, a menu from Pogue’s CamargoRoom, or a taffy recipe, would you contactCynthia at: [email protected].

Savor Dad’s day with special recipesFrangipane/almond pound cake

A good keeper, covered, at room temperature. It sounds fancy - frangi-pane just means there’s almond in the cake.

1 cup butter, softened1 cup sugar3 eggs1 can, 12-1/2 oz., Solo almond filling (not almond paste)2 -1⁄4 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1⁄2 teaspoon salt1⁄4 cup milk

GlazeWhisk together:

1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract or 2 teaspoons vanilla3-4 tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 10-inch tube pan or 12-cup Bundtpan. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beat-ing well after each. Mix in almond filling until blended. Whisk flour, bakingpowder, and salt together. Add to almond mixture alternately with milk,beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until blended. Pour into pan.Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely onrack. Drizzle glaze on top.

Tip from Rita’s kitchen:It’s important to grease and flour the pan to prevent sticking. After you

grease the pan, toss in enough flour to coat bottom and sides. Shake excessout. Or use a baking spray containing flour.

Versatile spicy chimichurri sauce

A reader wanted a spicy chimichurri to serve on top of steaks for Father’sday. Rick Bayless and I did a class together and he made this chimichurri. Heused it as a marinade and sauce for shrimp. It was so good and versatile, too.Nice on chicken, fish and, you bet - steak! I’ve adapted it only slightly.

1/2 head garlic, cloves separated3 Jalapeno or Serano chilies1 bunch cilantro, tough lower stems removed1 bunch parsley, tough lower stems removed1/2 cup extra virgin olive oilSalt to taste3 tablespoons water or bit more if needed

Set a dry skillet over medium heat. Lay unpeeled garlic cloves and chiliesin pan. Roast, turning frequently, for about 10 minutes for chilies and 15 min-utes for garlic, or until soft and blotchy brown in spots. Let cool and slip skinsoff the garlic. Wearing gloves, pull stems off chilies and roughly chop (no needto remove seeds). Place in a food processor along with cilantro, parsley, oliveoil, and salt. Process until nearly smooth (it will be pasty). Stir in water. Tasteand adjust seasonings.

A publication of

This June commemoratesthe 800th anniversary of Mag-na Carta, the “Great Charter”which was designed to reducethe power of the State – overpersons.

This defining instrument ofliberty would become the cor-nerstone of a British parlia-mentary government and in-spire the revolutionary idealsof a young nation an oceanaway.

On June 15, 1215, at Runny-meade along the River Thamesnear Windsor, King John ofEngland (yes, that King Johnfrom Robin Hood) agreed togrant certain protections to a

“We will sell to no man, wewill not deny or defer to anyman either justice or right.”Magna Carta – (1225). Althoughthe Magna Carta underwentmany incarnations in the years

and decades that followed, itssymbolism had a profoundinfluence on the constitutionaland legal development inGreat Britain and abroad.

The charter’s significance iseven more widely felt in theUnited States of America as ithelped shape scholarly thoughtand public sentiment before,during and after the AmericanRevolution. The state seal ofMassachusetts, engraved byPaul Revere and adopted in1775, contains a patriot holdinga sword along with a copy ofMagna Carta. The Latin mottochosen, “Ense petit placidamsub libertate quietem,” trans-

lates to mean, “By the swordwe seek peace, but peace onlyunder liberty.”

This anniversary of thehuman spirit marks a mile-stone on America’s road toliberty.

Now it is up to us to protectthat freedom.

As President Ronald Reaganonce remarked, “Freedom isnever more than one genera-tion away from extinction. Wedidn’t pass it to our children inthe bloodstream. It must befought for, protected, andhanded on for them to do thesame, or one day we will spendour sunset years telling our

children and our children’schildren what it was once likein the United States where menwere free.”

I pray this light from ourpast will help guide the stepsof our future. We must alsoremember that freedom’s twinis personal responsibility.

June 4 questionThe Ohio legislature is con-

sidering moving the state’s 2016primary back a week so that thestate has “more influence” inpresidential nominations. Is thisa good idea? Why or why not?

“Move the 2016 primaryback one week to enable ‘moreinfluence?’ In two words: whocares? National elections arewon or lost in the press, on TVand on the Internet. It simplydoes not matter which statehas the first primary or the

largest primary or the mostcontested primary. The onlythings that matter are whichcandidate has the most moneyin his or her coffers and howvideo friendly are their faceand their ability to read aspeech off of the telepromp-ter. Nail down the money andread a speech like a well oiledactor and even a minimallyeffective community orga-nizer can become president ofthe United States. Scary andsad, but true.”

M.J.F.

“I’m not enough of a ‘mar-keter’ to really understandthis move. Since all of theparties are primarily moreworried about ‘press impact,’a sad note, to me, I’ll leave thewisdom of the move to the‘political experts’ who rely onthe latest polls rather thanworrying about whether thevoters understand issues. Itseems a little arrogant, butperceptive, that most eligiblevoters won’t look at issues orproblems, only the press re-lease.”

D.B.

“I would love it if all stateprimaries were done at thesame exact time. This wouldalso help cut down on the po-litical commercials or at leasttheir time frame duration.Thank goodness for DVRs andcable stations. For extra cred-it only allow absentee mail inballots to cut expenses. GoFigure!”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONWhat should Cincinnati cityleaders and residents do tocurtail the recent trends ofgun-related crimes in the city?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

As health commissioner, Icould write columns, sendflyers, or talk to you throughthe media, continually tellingyou that we eat and smoketoo much and don’t getenough exercise.

I could share studies anddata illustrating the illsawaiting us as a result of ourless-than-healthy lifestyles.Or, I could engage you andyour communities to makesubstantive, long-lastingpolicy and infrastructurechanges to encouragehealthy practices. Whichtactic do you think would bemost successful?

Hopefully, you will agreethat the latter approach ismost effective. If so, you andyour community are primecandidates to join the WeTh-rive movement, makinghealthy practices part ofyour community vernacular.

WeThrive is a county-widemovement of communitypartners, schools, business-es, places of worship, electedofficials and residents work-ing together to make healthyliving easier and healthypractices part of your dailyroutine.

The movement focuses onincreasing access to healthyeating and physical activity,while decreasing tobacco useand exposure to secondhandsmoke. WeThrive is aboutmaking lasting changes thatkeep communities healthyfor generations.

We are working to changethe paradigms inherent indelivering healthy messag-ing and programming toHamilton County. Ratherthan talk about change, our

team jumpsdirectly inwith commu-nity teamsdedicated toaddressingsome of themost com-mon but pre-ventablehealth issuesfacing ustoday. WeTh-

rive engages communityleadership through four dis-tinct pathways: chronic dis-ease, environmental health,community health, and emer-gency preparedness.

Participating communi-ties adopt resolutions, orga-nize teams, select a pathwayand then get to work improv-ing their health and pre-paredness. Each communityteam works at its own paceand implements the changesnecessary to achieve healthi-er goals, while HamiltonCounty Public Health staffprovides community-levelhealth data, lends experienceand helps guide the process.

Since we launched theWeThrive initiative in 2008,we have seen substantialchange in some of the partic-ipating communities.

Parks and areas for phys-ical play and recreation havebeen developed. Gardenshave sprung up in severalcommunities around theCounty. Schools and child-care facilities have adoptedhealthy eating and smoke-free policies. School districtshave carved out safe waysfor children to get some ex-ercise while walking toschool. And perhaps most

important, people are in-corporating healthy prac-tices into everyday living.

There are 19 HamiltonCounty communities partici-pating in the WeThrive ini-tiative. That is approximate-ly half of the communitiesserved by Hamilton CountyPublic Health. Imagine thehealth benefits we couldaffect together if our com-munities lined up behind oneor more of the pathways tohealth identified by WeTh-rive.

Imagine the county-widereduction in obesity andsubsequently the prevent-able diseases associated withobesity, if we could imple-ment healthy eating andexercise programs in thecommunities with the mostto gain

. Think about the healthimprovement for our young-er generation as they growup with healthy eating, exer-cise and tobacco reduction aspart of their everyday rou-tines. This year, for the firsttime, we can work with com-munities to develop and im-plement emergency pre-paredness programs toround out a community’spublic health offerings.

Will you consider joiningus as we work to makehealthy choices easierchoices? Give RebeccaStowe a call at 513-946-7845and she will be happy towork with you to assemble ateam to start thriving in yourcommunity.

Tim IngramCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

We grow up trusting thecomforting notion that we canidentify unshakeable bits of

knowledgeabout the waythe worldworks. Webelieve “factsare facts,” thatwe will know afact when wesee it.

Reality is,however, a lottrickier. Theworld in whichwe are caught

up is a beguiling web of mis-truths and half-truths. A placewhere trying to separate factfrom opinion exasperates.

A couple decades ago, manyAmericans were still undecidedabout the effects of tobaccoproducts on health. Some of ourgreatest scientists, while testi-fying in court under oath, as-serted facts. Tobacco doesn’tcause cancer. Nicotine is notaddictive. They further as-serted wildly contradictoryarguments. That there was noevidence of any harmful ef-fects of smoking and, at thesame time, that smokers knewthe obvious hazards of usingtobacco products.

Big Tobacco almost seemedto have built their strategy on alight-hearted remark Einsteinonce made to his students. Hetold them if the facts don’t fitthe theory, change the facts. Asto the tobacco experts’ scien-tific facts, over time they clear-ly were seen as a well-orches-trated campaign of deceit.

Our adversarial legal proc-ess rests on the assumption thateach side will provide its viewof the facts. And, out of thatcontest, truth somehow will

reveal itself. Everyday, we relyupon expert witnesses to helpus sort out and understandfacts in major disputes. Mostexperts are academic superno-vas with significant creden-tials. Yet often they bring withthem their own agendas andbiases, driven by ideology orfinancial gain.

As a nation, we are nowsearching for facts regardingclimate change, our role in theMiddle East, race relations andsame-sex marriage. We look forfacts as seen through the frac-tured prisms of biased mediasources and others seeking tomanage facts as they perceivethem. They make it difficult forthe good-faith citizen to deter-mine truly informed decisionsabout how our country shouldbe run.

Being human, it’s so easy forus to allow belief to triumphover evidence. This is especial-ly true when the mere framingof facts distorts how they willbe understood. And yet whileensnared in our Rorschachworld, there is always an ur-gent, relentless need to formsmart opinions and considerhow we will vote.

Many people find the time-less lawyers’ saying - “factscan’t speak for themselves” - tobe infuriatingly cynical andself-serving. But life is mad-deningly muddled. Despite thetempting illusions offered bysociety’s experts, facts are notpure and almost never simple.And that’s about as close tobeing fact as one can hope toget.

INDIAN HILLJOURNALEditor: Melanie Laughman, [email protected], 513-248-7573

INDIAN HILL — With its 3-0victory against ColumbusAcademy, Cincinnati CountryDay wrapped up another OhioTennis Coaches Associationteam title.

The win came on the heels ofShaheel Mitra and Vishaal Na-lagatla’s doubles win in the Di-vision II state tournament. Un-like last year, they couldn’tcomplete the sweep as seniorAsher Hirsch finished third inthe singles tournament with awin against Indian Hill’s AlexWarstler.

“The team tournament is al-ways tough,” CCD coach MattDektas said. “Coaches willmove lineups around to givetheir team the best chance. It’s

always a fun finish.”This year was no different.While Hirsch and Kevin Yu

did their part to pick up twopoints, Nalagatla, who wasplaying third singles, and thedoubles paring of ChaseTholke and Will Cohen wontheir first game.

Leonard Behrens and Mitradropped their first game. Fromthere, things got interesting.Nalagatla lost his second set 6-1and Tholke and Cohen lost 6-2.

They also trailed at points inthe third game. However,while Nalagatla evened his set,Tholke and Cohen won fourgames in a row to take the setand clinch the championship.

“It was an epic comeback,”Dektas said. “It meant a lot tothose guys that they could havea meaningful presence in this

match.”While watching guys like

Hirsch leave will be tough forthe program, Dektas likes whathe has returning. Mitra, Nala-gatla and Yu should be back fortheir junior campaigns.

Yu won a state doubles titlewith Patrick Wildman back in2014.

He added they will also begetting a transfer from Masonwho should make an impact. Ofcourse, there’s always the in-teresting storyline of J.J. Wolf.

Wolf opted to participate innational tournaments duringthe season and has continued todo so this summer.

“He’s doing well,” Dektassaid. “I’m not sure what he willdecide. If he decides to play, asalways, that will be a big bonusfor us.”

CCD tennis captures another team titleBy Nick [email protected]

ADAM BAUM/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

Asher Hirsch failed in his quest for a third consecutive state title, but stillfinished in third at the OHSAA state tennis tournament. The Illinois-boundsenior was crucial in helping the Indians win another team title.

COLUMBUS — Forty-threeyears after winning their firststate championship under MikeCameron, Moeller High Schoolbrought home another baseballtrophy to Montgomery RoadSaturday.

The Crusaders bombed theWesterville Central Warhawksfor 15 runs in the fourth andfifth innings combined to walkout of Huntington Park with thehardware, 16-0.

For coach Tim Held, it washis fourth championship, tyinghis predecessor and formerboss, Cameron. The Crusadersalso won in 2009, 2012 and 2013under Held.

The 42-year-old Held wasborn six months after MikeCameron first brought Moellerto glory in 1972.

“I may have caught him asthe head coach, but he’s stillbeen a part of all of these,” Heldsaid. “He’s got his fingers on alleight of these. He’s a great men-tor to me. I’m so happy he stillwants to coach and help us outat the lower levels.”

The Crusaders drew firstblood on Westerville Central’sNick Buchanan in the thirdwhen Josh Hollander knocked atwo-out single and pitcherGrant Macciocchi punched oneinto right field that Drew Wal-lace dove for and missed. Theresult was a triple and a 1-0 lead.

Macciocchi went the five re-quired innings on the hill for thewin, allowing just three hits andstriking out four. At the plate,he helped himself by going 3-for-4 with a triple and four RBI.

“It’s great; it’s my last dayever hitting,” a smiling Missou-ri-bound Macciocchi said.“Nothing compares (to this).Everyone was just feeling teamchemistry.”

The game began its down-ward spiral for the Warhawksin the fourth frame when Moell-er all but summoned the portlywoman. The Crusaders sent 11to the plate with six scoring.

By the fifth inning, it was afull-scale alert as Moeller bat-ted around again, scoring nineruns on six hits. In addition toMacciocchi’s farewell perfor-mance, seniors Kyle Dockus,Josh Hollander and Eric Con-ner all had three hits and drovein two runs. Hollander and sen-ior Mitch Meece scored threeruns apiece.

For all of Moeller’s seniors,returning to Columbus after asemifinal loss last year was agoal all spring

“You never predict a finishlike this in a championship

game,” Held said. “It’s mucheasier on my stomach. Youdon’t dream of this. You justplay one pitch at a time. All of asudden, the offense camealive.”

To keep loose during the on-slaught, Macciocchi and catch-er Bailey Montoya had to go tothe bullpen to keep the bloodflowing.

Afterward, the Crusadersflowed freely out of the third-base dugout for the obligatorydogpile and throwing of gloveson the field.

“I can’t really explain it,”Macciocchi said of the lopsidedvictory. “My brother (Brad)was a part of this in 2012. It feelsgreat to be back.”

Moeller finishes the season31-3 with a happy 95-mile busride home down I-71. Wester-ville Central wraps up at 26-6.

COLUMBUS — Entering theDivision I state championshipgame against Upper Arlington,St. Xavier had outscored its op-ponents by a combined 68-11.

After the win against Moell-er in the regional final, seniorattacker Jack Perez said theBombers like to start fast andpreach that the game is decidedin the first five minutes.

Fortunately for the Bomb-ers, that wasn’t the case as Up-per Arlington scored the firstthree goals of the game. How-ever, St. X fought its way backto supplant the defending statechampion 7-6.

Perez scored the game-win-ning goal and goalkeeper AlexDeters recorded the final saveto clinch the victory.

“I’m just so proud of theboys,” St. Xavier coach NateSprong said. “They’ve workedso hard for this, it wasn’t pretty,but they overcame it with sheergrit in the second half.”

St. X didn’t find the back ofthe cage until Jack Greenscored the first of his four goalswith 1:23 left in the first quar-ter.

With two seconds left in thefirst frame, George Thurnercut the Bombers’ deficit to 3-2.

In the second quarter, theGolden Bears reclaimed thelead with three goals. Greenscored his second of the game.

At the half, Upper Arlingtonled 6-3.

From there, it was all Bomb-ers as they scored four unan-swered goals in the second half,including two more by Green.His final goal of the game tiedit.

“They were locking off on(William) Holcomb and (David)Leising,” said Green, thegame’s most valuable player onoffense. “I could take the shotall day or draw slides and pass

it. It was good stuff.”Matthew Donnelly also put

one in the back of the net andPerez scored the eventualgame-winning goal.

“On man-up rushes, we al-ways try to find a 3-on-2 and Isaw it on the left wing,” Perezsaid. “I saw my man had hishead turned away from theball, so I went back-door, threwa fake and luckily it went in.

“I had gotten stoned by thegoalie earlier. I needed thatone.”

That goal came with aboutfour minutes left to play. It wasup to the defense to make itstand.

Upper Arlington playedwith more urgency and thegame got a little chippy. Even-tually, the Golden Bears woundup with the final possession.

They maintained that samedeliberate approach that net-ted them six goals but the finalshot wound up in Deters’ web-bing.

“In the second half, weplayed 24 minutes of shutout la-crosse,” said Deters, thegame’s defensive most valu-able player. “I felt the weight ofthe ball in my stick, saw therewasn’t much time left and Ihigh-tailed it out of there.

“It still hasn’t set in quiteyet. Hopefully, it does soon.”

COLUMBUS — The 2015 Sum-mit Country Day baseball teamwill be remembered for havingexhibited so many exemplarytraits this season.

No one can question the re-silience of the Silver Knights.They entered the postseasonwith a 14-12 record and made amemorable trip to the state fi-nal in Columbus.

The Silver Knights sched-uled seven Division I teams inthe regular season and gainedvaluable experience along theway.

Summit Country Day play-ers believed they had some-thing to prove this postseasonand that determination and ef-fort was evident each time theclub took the field.

And Saturday night was nodifferent. The Silver Knightsleft it all on the field at Hun-tington Park in the state cham-pionship game.

Canton Central Catholic de-feated Summit Country Day4-2 in the Division III state fi-nal on Saturday night.

Although it wasn’t the resultcoach Triffon Callos and hisplayers wanted on the highschool season’s final night, theimpact this squad had on theprogram has been profound.

The Silver Knights earnedtheir first trip the state finalsince 1995 when the programwon the Division IV state titlethat year.

Summit Country Day (19-13), unranked in the statecoaches’ poll, earned its firsttrip to the state semifinalssince 1996. The Silver Knightsdefeated Cincinnati HillsChristian Academy and Way-nesville – two top-five stateranked teams in the regionaltournament.

“No one gave us a chance atthe beginning of the year,”sophomore Connor McMurrysaid Friday night. “And youknow what? We came into thistournament knowing that wehad a lot of people to provewrong and that really drove us.We have a ton of heart as ateam.”

The trip to Columbus thisspring represented added sig-nificance for the four seniors –

Craig James, Mark Peterson,Brooks Taylor and Eric Terry.To reach the state final was ex-

tra special for those players.“It means the world to me,”

Terry said on Friday night.
