Yellow Jackets jump on Falcons
MOUNT VERNON — “The Hive” may be local basketball’s version of the St. James Infirmary lately, but the ailing Mount Vernon High School girls basketball team got just what the doctor ordered on Friday. The Yellow Jackets took apart Franklin Heights, 62-30, in Ohio Capital Conference action in a game where they could rest a few players and let some fresh faces have some minutes.
Boys Basketball: Newark thrives on little rest
GROVEPORT -- Playing a fourth game in eight days, Newark coach Jeff Quackenbush did not have to worry about tired legs on Friday.

Communication setting North's Nettles apart
Bradley Nettles is always talking on the basketball court.
The senior on the Westerville North High School boys basketball team isn't getting inside a player's head as much as he's talking about the weather, what's happening at school or just about anything that pops into his head. Nettles is out there having fun, which has been especially easy this season with the Warriors going 12-2 overall and 7-2 in the OCC-Cardinal Division.
Tantari excelling for Olentangy
Hampered by a nagging injury, Tara Tantari decided to walk away from club gymnastics last August after devoting countless hours to the sport the previous 14 years.
The Olentangy High School senior's intention was to focus solely on academics and varsity cheerleading for the Braves' football and boys basketball games. But after just a couple weeks away from gymnastics, Tantari began to sorely miss the sport that she had participated in since she was 3 years old.
Liberty managing to stay in league title race
A year ago, the Olentangy Liberty and Dublin Coffman High School hockey teams established themselves as the class of the Capital Hockey Conference.
One month into the 2009-10 season, few players and coaches around the league doubted Coffman would be back in the thick of the race for the league title. After all, the Shamrocks won three of the past five league titles and showed no signs of weakness.
