Through her 19 seasons as head volleyball coach at Bedford High School, Jodi Manore has cul- tivated, and come to expect, excel- lence in her Kicking Mules. Her 1998 and 2001 teams won Michi- gan Class A (big school) state cham- pionships, and this year’s squad is off to a 25-3 start and a No. 4 rank- ing in the latest state poll. Led by senior right-side hitter Lauren Keiser, who Manore said has been the Mules’ most consistent all- around player, and sophomore middle hitter Veronica Rood, the team’s leader in kills and kill percentage, Bed- ford, a state semi- finalist last sea- son, has lost only to the three teams ranked above it in the state poll — No. 1 East Kent- wood, No. 2 Fraser and No. 3 Grand Haven. The Mules, 3-0 in the South- eastern Conference, face an SC challenge tonight against Chelsea, the only conference team to beat the Mules last year, and has a big- ger test Jan. 24 at the 24-team East Kentwood Invitational. That tour- nament field includes perennial powers Portage Northern and Portage Central, both top-10 ranked teams. BASKETBALL 1,000 and counting Fostoria junior guard Jacob Diebler surpassed the 1,000 mark in career points Friday when he scored 38 in an 81-66 Northern Ohio League win over Tiffin Col- umbian. The 6-2 Diebler is aver- aging 24.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. His 6-5 freshman broth- er, Jon, is second on the team in both categories (16.7 points, 6.7 boards). Chapman honored Justin Chapman, a former Rogers and Wayne State Universi- ty basketball standout who died last summer in a Detroit-area boat- ing accident, will be honored dur- ing the Martin Luther King Jr. Clas- sic Monday at Libbey. The most valuable player at the 1999 MLK Classic, Chapman was a standout football and bas- ketball player for Rogers. He led Wayne State in scoring (13.1) and was among the team leaders in rebounds and blocked shots for his 2002-03 senior season. “He was a tremendous young man,’’ said Rogers football coach Rick Rios. “He was a pretty good ath- lete but, more importantly, he was a top-notch person.’’ The Northwest Ohio Black Media Association has created a sportsmanship award named in Chapman’s honor. The formal ded- ication will come at halftime of the 3 p.m. Libbey-Trotwood Madi- son game on Monday. SWIMMING Titans make waves St. John's Jesuit coach Andy Dugan has plenty to be pleased about, The Titans (5-1 in dual meets), who face Erie Mason tonight, are coming off a close victory over a strong Northview team. It required St. John's 400-meter freestyle relay team of Greg Szmanski, David Braunreuther, David Fournier and Stott Dittemore to win the final race with a time of 4:01. “It was more of a mental win for us than anything,” Dugan said. “To win, it really was a confidence builder for us. They should have very positive thoughts for them- selves going into other meets.” Fournier, a senior, ranks fifth in the state in the 50-yard free with a school-record time of 21.90. David Colturi, a freshman, ranks third in the state among divers after posting a season-best 281 points on six dives. HOCKEY Icy hot Veteran coach Dan DeWitt’s Bowling Green Bobcats are on a roll. Their 2-0 win Saturday at Parma Padua Franciscan was their 15th straight victory, avenging the only blemish on a 17-0-1 record. Bowl- ing Green is 6-0-1 against teams from the Cleveland area’s top divi- sion, including a win over defend- ing state champ University School. The Bobcats, 6-0-0 in the top division of the Northwest Hockey Conference, have been led by sen- ior forwards Kevin Rawlik (26 goals, 13 assists), Steve Culbertson (16, 11) and Casey Horner (11, 16). Senior goalie Dan Marcson has a 1.37 goals-against average and a .937 save percentage. GYMNASTICS Gym dandies Catie Wolf and Lindy Curlis led the way as Findlay ran away with the team title at the 19-team Southview Invitational. Wolf won the vault and the floor, while Curlis finished second in the bars and the balance beam on her way to a second-place fin- ish in the all-around. Amber Dennie of Napoleon won the all-around by taking first place in the bars and the beam. SIDELINES THE BLADE, TOLEDO, OHIO ■ THURSDAY , JANUARY 15, 2004 B O Y S BASKETBALL Perrysburg trio take down foes By DONALD EMMONS BLADE SPORTS WRITER espite having as many freshmen dress for the boys varsity basketball team as sophomores, juniors and seniors combined, Monclova Christian Academy believes its prayers have been answered this season. The Thunder is on a major roll, just two seasons removed from a 3-18 inaugural campaign in which the majority of its games came against junior var- sity teams. Monclova Christian has opened its third season by winning seven of its first ten games, including notable victories over Swanton and Seneca East. Not bad for a team that employs an ironman starting five, with few substitutions, and has been a member of the Ohio High School Athletic Association for just two years. “We’re pioneering a pro- gram,” coach Russ Merrin said. “If we stay at our level we feel no one is going to humiliate us.” With approximately 20 boys and 20 girls enrolled in the entire high school, Monclova Christian is among the smallest schools in Division IV. By comparison, Swanton has 189 boys in the upper three grades alone, and Seneca East 126. Basically, in no time flat, the Thunder rose from nothing into the (Very) Little Engine That Could. The Thunder finished last year at 13-7 while also playing well enough to garner a Buckeye Chris- tian League championship. Based upon the Thun- der’s start to this season, expectations are to exceed last season’s win total. “We’re gaining some respect,” said Derek Mer- rin, the coach’s son, a 6-4 junior who is averaging 19 points and a team-leading 11 rebounds. “We real- ly were embarrassed the first year. “We’re a small school, but we’ve shown that we can come out and play with the rest. We’ve done that this year.” Exactly how Monclova Christian has succeeded is not typical. For instance, tryouts for the varsity have been non-existent during the past three seasons. “If you come out you’re on the team,” said Matt Velazquez, a 6-1 junior who leads the Thunder in scor- ing with 21.7 points a contest. The Thunder relies on its three seniors — 5-10 Brian Boes, 6-2 Tony Russell and 6-4 Josh Rose — and juniors Merrin and Velazquez to log most of the minutes in each game. Two of the seniors had never played organized basketball until last year. “It’s all still kind of new to me,” said Russell, who transferred from Bowling Green to Monclova Christian two years ago. “To start out on varsity and never having played basketball before, I thought that was kind of cool. It was all confusing at first. I had no idea of what was going on.” Meanwhile, the bench is made up of even more inexperience — one sophomore and six freshmen. The underclassmen also make up the Thunder’s junior varsity team. Merrin is limited in the number of substitu- tions he can make in a game based upon OHSAA rules that limit students from playing in more than five quar- ters of basketball on a given day. Generally, Merrin doesn’t substitute in the first quarter, which then allows him to use his non- starters as subs for the rest of the game, although none can play in more than one quarter. A lack of players also hinders his coaching options. Applying full-court pressure is out of the ques- tion. He keeps it simple. On defense the Thunder plays some man-to-man, but it also employs a half-court zone to prevent players from becoming overly fatigued. On offense the team has relied heavily on Velazquez and Mer- rin — the best and most experienced players. Still, should any of the starters end up in foul trou- ble it creates a major breakdown. “That’s the worst-case scenario for us,” coach Mer- rin said. “When we get in foul trouble we don’t have that many players to go to other than the fresh- men.” Nonetheless, the Thunder continues to roll. “It’s good to finally taste success,” Derek Merrin said. “The hard work is finally paying off.” Russ Merrin, also the church pastor, worked as a high school coach more than 20 years ago before being called into the ministry. He has taken on the double-duty task of pastor and coach with open arms the past three years. “I enjoy the kids and enjoy basketball. I don’t have a problem separating the two,” the coach said. “I’m a little hoarse sometimes on Sundays, but as long as I don’t get called for a technical in a game then I think my testimony is still good.” WRESTLING FEMALE A THLETE OF THE WEEK NOTEBOOK THE DOCKET WRESTLING ■ Tomorrow and Saturday: The Mary E.

All-Ohio player Ron Hammye added 20 for the Comets, who would go on that season under coach Dave Hitchen to reach the Class AA state semifinals. By STEVE JUNGA BLADE SPORTS WRITER With 14 different weight class- es in high school wrestling, com- petitors obviously come in all shapes and sizes. At Perrysburg this winter, the top three wrestlers, according to their respective No. 1 individual rankings in the area coaches poll, are at near opposite ends of the size spec- trum. This trio also represents a diversity in their backgrounds and approach to the sport. Despite their differences, jun- ior 112-pounder Tony Rodriguez (23-6), senior 119-pounder Noah Zyduck (21-3) and senior heavy- weight Dave Wyper (24-2) all have the same aspiration — to maxi- mize their success on the mat. Two things that distinguish Rodriguez are his intelligence and his preparation. He ranks third in his class academically with a grade- point average just under 4.4, and his work ethic, according to Perrys- burg coach Jeff Bucher, is top shelf. Rodriguez’s commitment to excellence has endured despite his battle, for more than a year, with crohn’s disease and its relat- ed digestive-tract ulcers. “There’s some pain and it’s not fun to deal with, but I don’t think it really affects my wrestling too much,’’ Rodriguez said. “There’s a lot worse [health issues] out there, and I’m not going to let it get me down.” Rodriguez was a Northern Lakes League and Division I sectional champion a year ago. “Tell Tony something and that’s what he’s going to do,’’ Bucher said. “You get his best every day and he brings a great attitude. His intelli- gence pays off. When he’s in a match you can see him thinking things through and making good choices.’’ Zyduck, an NLL and sectional champion in 2003, has also paid his dues. He began wrestling in third grade and has been a spring and summer tournament regular since. Last summer he traveled to Bulgaria on a national youth team that com- peted in a Greco-Roman meet. “The more [competitive] mat time you get, the better wrestler you’re going to be,’’ said Zyduck, who was first in the Perrysburg Invita- tional Tournament (PIT) last Sat- urday. “You know situations better than other people. The Bulgaria trip was a great experience. I only went 1-4, but I learned a lot.’’ “Noah enjoys competing more than anything,’’ Bucher said. “Prac- tice he doesn’t quite enjoy so much, but when its time for a match he’s ready.’’ Wyper never wrestled before high school, and this late start kept him off the varsity team as a fresh- man. His sophomore season was cut short by academic ineligibility. That year, the 6-6 Wyper had trimmed from 295 pounds to below the 275 heavyweight maximum, and had just placed second in the PIT when his season stopped. But this setback sent Wyper a message — if he wanted to wrestle, he had to turn things around in the classroom. Wyper says he has lifted his cumulative GPA from around 1.4 to above 2.9. “I didn’t really concentrate a whole lot my freshman and soph- omore years,’’ Wyper admitted. “My parents were always hassling me about doing my homework and it finally sank in. I started doing my work and getting the grades.’’ His reward was a 36-13 record last year, including qualifying for and going 2-2 at the state meet. Now down to 255 pounds, Wyper’s goal is a state title. “It’s been a huge leap for me,’’ Wyper said. “Because of what’s happened,’’ Bucher said, “it’s led Dave to climb a ladder, success-wise. He worked and worked to get to the point where, now, he’s a dominating guy. Academically, athletically and socially, he’s grown tremendously.’’ Name: Niki McCoy School: Northview Class: Junior Sport: Basketball The Wildcats’ 5-11 post player scored a game-high 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a pivotal Northern Lakes League vic- tory over Perrysburg.
