When the Westerville South High School football team played host to Hilliard Darby in an OCC-Cardinal Division game Oct.5, the Wildcats made a number of costly mistakes en route to a 28-14 loss. South turned the ball over on downs three times, including twice in the red zone, and threw two interceptions, including one inside Darby’s 30-yard line and another that Caleb Day returned 45 yards for a touchdown. South coach Rocky Pentello said his team must avoid those kinds of errors to give itself a chance to win its Division I, Region 3 playoff opener Saturday, Nov. 3, at Darby. The top-seeded Panthers are 10-0 overall and won the OCCCardinal title at 7-0 after beating Hilliard Bradley 42-0 on Oct. 26. The eighth-seeded Wildcats defeated Westerville North 52-15 on Oct. 26 to finish 8-2 overall and third in the OCC-Cardinal at 5-2, behind Darby and Dublin Scioto (6-1). “We have to play a much more disciplined game this time around because we’ve already seen that we can’t afford to make

Coffman’s lines primary concern for ’Cats By FRANK DIRENNA THISWEEKSPORTS.COM After watching his team struggle in a 33-10 loss to Dublin Coffman on Sept. 14, Hilliard Davidson High School football coach Brian White didn’t think that his team would have another opportunity to play the Shamrocks this season. The Wildcats fell to 2-2 as a result of that OCC-Central Division contest, but they won their next six games to
secure their fifth consecutive postseason berth. Davidson (8-2) travels to Coffman (9-1) for the first round of the Division I, Region 3 playoffs on Saturday, Nov. 3. The Shamrocks, who won their first nine games before losing to Upper Arlington 23-14 in their regular-season finale Oct. 26, are seeded second in Region 3 behind Hilliard Darby (100). Davidson is the seventh seed. The top eight teams in each region qualified for the playoffs.
“After the week four drubbing we took from Dublin Coffman the first time we played them, we certainly would question whether or not we would have an opportunity to make the playoffs,” White said. “Our No. 1 goal for the season is to win our league and No. 2 goal is to make the playoffs, and if you would have told me that we would be able to accomplish both in the 10th week of the season, I would have been real hesitant to agree.” Coffman and Davidson both went
6-1 to share the OCC-Central title. UA and Olentangy Liberty tied for third at 5-2, followed by Marysville (3-4), Thomas Worthington (2-5), Central Crossing (1-6) and Westland (0-7). Coffman outgained UA 397-245 in total yards but committed six turnovers. “I’m sure they have gotten better,” Coffman coach Mark Crabtree said of Davidson. “They have won six games in a row. You’re going to get better and better if you’re winning six games in a row. They’re playing with confidence
and they have settled in on what they’re trying to do on both sides of the ball.” In the regular-season contest, Coffman led Davidson 13-3 at halftime and seized control in the third quarter, outscoring the Wildcats 20-0. The Shamrocks outgained Davidson 391-193 in total yards, as senior quarterback James Walsh was 15-for18 passing for 201 yards and a touchdown and scored two touchdowns on

Darby boys ousted in district final The Darby boys team lost to second-seeded Gahanna 20 in a Division I district final on Oct. 27 at Westerville South to finish 15-2-2. “The scoreboard didn’t reflect the way the game flowed,” coach Johnny Ulry said. “We dominated play and were the better team, in my
opinion, but they scored early in the first half and again in the second half when we were pushing forward. But give Gahanna credit for executing their game plan and beating us.

Cross Country
’Cats girls team repeats as regional champs By BRAD EMERINE THISWEEKSPORTS.COM After watching his team finish second to Dublin Coffman in the OCC-Central Division meet Oct. 20, Hilliard Davidson High School girls cross country coach Nathan King told his runners to stay focused on their training and not sweat their results up to that point in the season. That approach helped the Wildcats win their second consecutive regional championship, as three of their runners finished in the top seven in the Division I regional meet Oct. 27 at Pickerington North. Davidson dominated the 16-team field, scoring 50 points to finish well ahead of runner-up Upper Arlington (113). The top four teams and top 16 individuals advanced to the state meet Saturday, Nov. 3, at National Trail Raceway. “As a first-year coach, the thing I wanted them to understand most is that they had to have faith in their training,” King said. “I kept telling them the training was geared to prepare us for the two big meets, the regional and state. I knew they weren’t going to be running their best in the middle of the season. That’s not what we wanted.” Coffman (115) and Dublin Scioto (129) rounded out the top four teams at regional, with Bradley (311) and Darby (324) finishing 15th and 16th, respectively. No runners from Bradley or Darby qualified individually for state. Last season, Davidson finished eighth (203) of 16 teams at state behind champion Brunswick (113). “Our goal since day one was to repeat
as regional champions and finish in the top four at state,” King said. “We’re keeping our normal routine this week, trying to remain consistent. With the exception of our freshman, they’ve all competed at state before, so we’re not putting this on a pedestal. If we run well, we should reach our goal. If we run better, that’s awesome. And if the stars align, maybe there’s a state championship there.” Davidson was led at regional by senior Lauren Hoover, who placed third of 118 runners in 19 minutes, 3.38 seconds, behind Reynoldsburg's Leah Wallace (18:44.9) and Westerville North's Heather Sandvik (18:51.73). Also scoring for the Wildcats were sophomore Lilly Saniel-Banrey (sixth, 19:11.77), freshman Jane Onders (seventh, 19:13.01), senior Elsa Saelens (22nd, 19:45.6) and junior Catherine Hildebrand (23rd, 19:51.59). “I thought if we had three of the top 15 runners, we’d be in good shape in terms of challenging for a regional championship,” King said. “I underestimated what these girls can do. Ever since Jane stepped her game up, we’ve had three girls navigating through the field and trying to catch the blue uniform in front of them. That’s fantastic. “I’m real happy for Lauren. She considers herself a track athlete. She finished fourth at state (in the 1,600 meters last spring), but that hadn’t translated into great success in cross country. But we think we have it figured out now. She went from 10th to third in the last 800 yards (at regional). She tends to run conservatively early and let it go in the last mile. Our top three were 10th, 13th and
14th heading into the woods and they all picked it up. Catherine Hildebrand, our fifth runner, ran the last two miles with one shoe. One fell off before the onemile mark.” Scoring for Bradley were senior Alex Winter (32nd, 20:09.94), sophomore Sarah Hevener (41st, 20:21.61), sophomore Tes Corea (86th, 21:23.29), junior Elaina Alpeter (88th, 21:24.68) and sophomore Hope Sawchuk (91st, 21:30.12). Scoring for Darby were senior Julissa Poullet (52nd, 20:38.61), junior Sarah Vermillion (64th, 20:53.48), junior Emily Melnik (66th, 20:57.27), senior Cassady Shultz (71st, 21:04.56) and sophomore Morgan Brennan (103rd, 21:47.38).
Davidson boys advance to state The Davidson boys team qualified for the Division I state meet for the second year in a row by finishing second (88) of 16 teams at regional. Westerville North (79) won the regional title, with Olentangy Liberty (108) and New Albany (114) rounding out the top four teams. Bradley (282) and Darby (298) finished 11th and 13th, respectively. No runners for Bradley or Darby qualified for state individually. The Wildcats were led by sophomore Colin Burdette, who placed fourth (16:00.58) of 125 runners behind Westerville North's Jacob Dumford (15:51.81) and Kent Ford (15:51.95) and Dublin Jerome's Jake Mandel (15:59.66).

For the second time in the program’s four seasons, the Hilliard Bradley High School girls volleyball team reached a district final. Seeded fifth, the Jaguars lost to top-seeded Dublin Coffman 2325, 25-16, 25-16, 25-21 in a Division I district final Oct. 27 at Big Walnut to finish 21-5. In 2010, they lost to Hartley 25-13, 25-16, 25-22 in a Division II district final. “(Playing in a district final) is an expectation,” coach RyAnne Ufferman said. “We have a lot of respect for the Coffman program. We want Bradley volleyball to be that way.” The Jaguars won the opening game before Coffman took control. “I think we came out with a lot of enthusiasm and we made good choices with the ball,” Ufferman said. “We were attacking the ball and not waiting for the ball to come to us. We lost that after the first game and we let Coffman take control. You can’t do that with a team like they have.” Leading the way for Bradley were Christy Tieman, who was 13-for-13 serving with 21 assists, nine digs, six kills, two blocks and

Also for the Jaguars, Darby Connors was 19-for-19 hitting with nine kills and two blocks, Raimey Benson was 14-for-15 serving with one ace, 14 digs and six kills, Lexi Jacobs was 10-for11 serving with one ace, six kills and two block assists and Karlee Hehemenn was 7-for-7 hitting with three kills, two solo blocks and two block assists. “This match was really good preparation for (our regional semifinal match with Massillon) Jackson (on Thursday, Nov. 1, at Davidson),” Coffman coach Mary Anne Souder said. “They played great defense, just like we will see
(against Jackson). (Bradley's) serve-receive was tough. We usually score a lot on our serves and we didn’t do that.” The Jaguars defeated seventhseeded Olentangy 23-25, 25-19, 25-17, 25-18 in a district semifinal Oct. 24 at Big Walnut.

The result of this development has enabled him to become stronger as the season has moved into its later stages. It is a tremendous luxury as a coach to have a player that you can hand the ball to 40 + times. He has embraced that challenge and role. EJ’s progress has mirrored that of the team as a whole also. The Wildcat’s offense and defense continue to make strides as well. EJ’s record breaking performances in games 7 and 8 combined will forever be cemented in Hilliard Davidson football history. EJ and the Wildcats look to finish the season on a high note with the hopes of making the OHSAA playoffs for the 12th time in the last 14 years.

Each one of them brought something different to the team, whether it was being a vocal leader, quiet leader or leading by example.” Expected to return are juniors Maura Culley (defensive specialist), Ellie Mathews (defensive specialist/libero), Katie Moore (right-side hitter/outside hitter) and Caitlin Snyder (middle hitter) and sophomores Gabby Adrian (setter), Emily Davis (defensive specialist), Maddie Platfoot (outside hitter) and Sarah Schroeder (setter).

PANTHERS FROM >> B1 ceptions, 39 tackles) and Chase Longwell (4 fumble recoveries, 24 tackles) and linebackers Cameron Kohl (127 tackles, 4 sacks) and Trevor Parker (58 tackles, 2 sacks). “We need to be aggressive at times to try to make some plays, but Westerville South has an explosive offense so our philosophy has to be bend but don’t break, because they’re going to make some plays over the course of the game,” Santagata said. South had 389 total yards in the first meeting on the Wildcats’ turf field, and Pentello hopes his spread offense will
be productive on Darby’s grass field. Leading the offense is quarterback Nick Renzetti, who has completed 188 of 327 passes for 3,054 yards with 33 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His top targets are Jalen Bell (70 catches, 1,137 yards, 15 touchdowns), Marcus Ball (47 catches, 721 yards, 7 scores), Torrodd Carter (29 catches, 538 yards, 5 scores) and Darryl Long (27 catches, 429 yards, 4 scores). Noah Prentiss has 950 yards rushing and seven touchdowns on 159 carries, and Darien Miller has 418 yards and six touchdowns on 53 carries. “I wish we were playing them
on turf again, especially with the rainy weather we’ve been having because that’s where our guys can really use their speed to their advantage,” Pentello said. Santagata said his spreadoption offense will try to establish the run, much like it did while gaining 292 yards rushing on 40 attempts in the first meeting with South. Longwell has rushed for 782 yards and 13 touchdowns on 126 carries. He also has completed 47 of 77 passes for 792 yards with seven touchdowns and one interception. Day has 27 receptions for 424 yards and five touchdowns and 406 yards rushing and eight
touchdowns on 48 carries. Hayden VanKirk has rushed for 680 yards and nine touchdowns on 121 carries, Michael Porter has rushed for 301 yards and four scores on 43 carries and Kohl has rushed for 232 yards and five touchdowns on 28 carries. In the first meeting, Longwell rushed for 176 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. “We’d like to establish the run because if we run the ball well, we can control possession longer to keep their offense off the field,” Santagata said. “Defensively, they bring a variety of blitzes, so we need to recognize their alignments and where they’re coming from.”
Pentello said his defense – led by backs Ball (4 interceptions), Timmy Bates (7 interceptions) and Myles Collier and linebackers Miller and Kamaree Walden – needs to do a better job of reading Darby’s option. “Hilliard Darby is big and physical, and they do what they do very well,” Pentello said. “Their quarterback made some big plays against us (Oct. 5) and we need to minimize their big plays this time around. Our guys need to cover all of their assignments, and we need to be aggressive and cause turnovers when we get the opportunity.”

Lung Cancer Awareness Important for Prevention, Early Detection As the second-most common cancer in both men and women, lung cancer is responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 160,000 people will lose their battle with lung cancer this year, accounting for more victims than breast, prostate, colon and pancreatic cancers combined. In recognition of National Lung Cancer Awareness Month in November, Columbus CyberKnife encourages local residents to take preventive steps to protect themselves and their loved ones from common and lesser-known causes of lung cancer. While smoking may be the leading cause of lung cancer, other risk factors should not be ignored. These include secondhand smoke, radon or asbestos exposure in the home or workplace and family history. According to a recent study published by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Surgeon General, radon exposure was reported to be the second leading cause of lung cancer. As residents spend more time in their homes in the coming winter months, it’s important for homeowners to monitor the radon levels in their homes. “Taking time to educate yourself on the risks and symptoms of lung cancer is an important step in the prevention and early detection of the disease,” explains Dr. Douglas Widman, Columbus CyberKnife medical director. Unlike many of the risk factors of other common cancers, lung cancer’s biggest risk factor — tobacco use — can be controlled. Estimates from the American Cancer Society suggest as much as 90 percent of all instances of the disease are attributable to tobacco use. Smokers who quit can reduce their risk of developing lung cancer by up to 70 percent, according to the International Agency of Research on Cancer. If you’ve considered talking with a friend or loved one who smokes, Lung Cancer Awareness Month is a great conversation starter. It’s also a great time to talk to those already suffering with lung cancer about their treatment options. Columbus CyberKnife, a service of Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital, treats lung cancer with noninvasive radiosurgery that has key advantages. Standard treatment for lung cancer involves surgically removing all or part of the patient’s affected lung. That may not be viable, however, especially for patients in poor general health or those suffering from chronic pulmonary disease like emphysema. Recent advancements in cancer treatment have introduced another option for those seeking an alternative to surgery or patients with tumors deemed medically inoperable. CyberKnife® offers an effective treatment option for lung cancer patients who are not surgical candidates or refuse surgery due to the associated risk of complications. While the name may conjure images of knives and scalpels, CyberKnife treatment involves no cutting, no anesthesia and no overnight hospital stay. Lung tumors are treated noninvasively with very precise, highdose radiation beams while healthy tissue surrounding a tumor is spared. CyberKnife treatment is completed in five or fewer outpatient procedures. With few or no side effects, patients typically return immediately to their normal routines. “Take the opportunity during Lung Cancer Awareness Month to reach out. Talk to friends or family who smoke about a smoking cessation program, and encourage those facing a lung cancer diagnosis to learn more about treatment options like CyberKnife,” Dr. Widman said. Columbus CyberKnife is a service of Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital and is located at 495 Cooper Road, Suite 125 in Westerville, Ohio. For more information, call (614) 898-8300 CyberKnife® provides noninvasive treatment for lung or visit www.ColumbusCK.com.
