Green Township Police Lt.Mitch Hill said ChristopherLee Cornell was on the depart-ment’s radar, although offi-cers hadn’t run across himwithin the past 12 months.

“We were aware of him,”Hill said.

Cornell, 20, of Green Town-ship, is accused of using cy-berspace to plot to assassi-

nate Congres-sional employ-ees and attackthe U.S. Capitolfor his per-sonal jihad. Hewas chargedwith attemptedkilling of U.S.government of-ficers and pos-session of fire-

arms in furtherance of an at-tempted crime of violence.

He’s being held in the But-ler County Jail without bail.

Cornell showed up as a loneprotester at the ceremony thetownship hosted in Septem-ber 2013 to dedicate its 9/11memorial, Hill said. Cornellheld a handwritten sign re-garding the 9/11 attacks andstood silently in protest, com-mitting no crime.

Hill said township officersalso identified him as a personof interest related to a fewacts of graffiti vandalism thatoccurred in the townshipmore than a year ago, but Cor-nell was never officiallynamed a suspect and was nev-er charged. Hill said therewasn’t enough evidence to di-rectly connect Cornell to thespray-painting incidents.

Green Township policewere indirectly involved inassisting the FBI and otherlaw enforcement agencies,Hill said, noting the depart-ment had officers at theHearne Road apartmentwhen Cornell was taken intocustody at the gun shop.

Green Township TrusteeChairman Tony Rosiello said

he’s received numerous callsand emails from folks aboutthe alleged terror plot.

“It’s unnerving and peopleare very surprised,” he said.

“What happened here ex-emplifies what is going on inMiddle America, not unlikewhat has taken place in Min-nesota (the FBI thwarted a do-mestic terror plot in Minneso-ta in May 2013).

“We now know this canhappen anywhere,” he said.

While the FBI led the in-vestigation of Cornell, Rosiel-lo said the Green TownshipPolice Department was askedto cooperate and provided aninterrogation room at the po-lice station for the federalagency to use as a base of op-erations and to conduct inter-views.

He applauded federal au-thorities for their work andsaid the township was happyto assist.

“I think there are two mes-sages we can take away fromthis,” Rosiello said. “First, theFBI, Department of Home-land Security and local lawenforcement agencies do agreat job protecting us everyday. And second, it’s impor-tant for us not to overreact,but do remain vigilant.”

The fact a Green Townshipresident is alleged to haveplotted a terrorist attackdoesn’t necessarily provide

WESTWOOD — Two Motherof Mercy High School seniorsmade it their mission to putgifts under the tree for Tristatechildren in need this Christ-mas.

As part of their senior cap-stone service project, KatieKoch and Erika Schmitt col-lected toys to donate to St. Jo-seph Orphanage in the weeksleading up to the holiday. Theweekend before Christmas,the two students loaded up atruck and dropped off 550items at the Monfort Heightsfacility.

“We chose this orphanagebecause St. Joseph serves 1,300kids, and the thought of thekids at St. Joseph waking up onChristmas without any gifts toopen really bothered us,” Kochsaid in a press release.

“We wanted to change thatand to make the holiday season

a wonderful and fun experi-ence for all the kids.”

Collecting toys for St. Jo-seph has been a longstandingtradition at Mercy. However,the students who had been in-tegral in organizing it the lastfew years graduated, and itwas in danger of not happeningthis year.

Koch and Schmitt steppedin to fill the void.

“Their actions were a directreflection of our foundressCatherine McAuley, who de-voted her life to identifyingand fulfilling the needs of thecommunity that were not be-ing met,” Mercy’s Service-Learning Coordinator MeganKnapke said.

Koch and Schmitt said therewas an overwhelming re-sponse from Mercy students,parents, faculty and staff. TheMercy community got behind

their efforts to make Christ-mas a little better for local chil-dren.

The athletic departmentplayed a large role, too, by do-nating a portion of its profitsfrom a sidewalk sale in its spir-it shop and offering free ad-mission to spectators at a De-cember basketball game in re-turn for a toy donation.

“We would never haveachieved that amount withoutthe help of our peers and teach-ers,” Schmitt said. “The staffat St. Joseph was unbelievablygrateful for the donation thatthe Mercy community helpedus make.”

The senior capstone projectis a way to encourage studentsto get beyond the walls of Mer-cy and complete a project thatmeets a genuine community

cause for raising any se-curity or alert status inthe township, Hill said.

“It is just a good re-minder that anythingcan happen anywhereand to always be vigi-lant,” Hill said.

Point Blank Range &Gun Shop president andCEO Tom Willinghamdidn’t know what to thinkwhen the FBI ap-proached him abouthelping them arrestsomeone they suspectedof wanting to commit aterrorist act on U.S. soil.

“Nobody knewenough to be scared,”Willingham said. “Weknew everyone (law en-forcement) was inplace.”

Willingham’s employ-ees sold two semi-auto-matic rifles at about 11a.m. Wednesday to Cor-nell, also known as Ra-heel Mahrus Ubaydah, atthe Colerain Townshiplocation.

“We did not know(Cornell). He came in fora purchase,” Willinghamsaid.

After the gun storeemployees ran Cornell’sname through the nation-al background checksystem to ensure he hadno criminal record andwas eligible to buy guns –“Not anyone can come inand buy a gun and walkout,” Willingham said –

Cornell was sold whatWillingham called“sporting rifles.” In ad-dition to the M-15 rifles,Cornell also bought 600rounds of ammunition.

When Cornell left thestore and walked to theparking lot of the busi-ness in the 7200 block ofHarrison Avenue, he wasarrested by the Joint Ter-rorism Task Force.

A Colerain Townshippolice officer was part ofthat task force.

Colerain Town-ship Police ChiefMark Denney saidMelissa Cooper, as-signed to the FBI’sJoint Terrorism

Task Force,“was instru-mental in theidentification,investigationand apprehension ofthe terrorism sus-pect,” he said.

Denney said theFBI kept the Cole-rain Township de-partment leadershipin the loop through-out the investigation,which started in Au-gust.

“We had to havespecial clearance.Frankly, it hasseemed unreal thatthis could happenhere. We do have a

false sense of securitythinking this only hap-pens other places. Thisguy was serious. Andhow many more of themare walking around?This took us back a bit.The FBI took this guyvery seriously.”

Colerain Townshipuniformed officers wereinvolved in Wednesday’sarrest at the Point BlankGun Shop West on Harri-son Avenue, as well.

“This kind of incidenton our doorstep shouldbe a great reminder ofthe hard work our offi-cers do and for everyoneto remain vigilant,” hesaid. “The world ischanging and we need toprotect our communityevery way we can.”

Cooper joined the Col-erain Township Depart-ment in 2008 and startedher law enforcement ca-reer with the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Officein 2004, She’s a graduateof Northwest HighSchool, and in a 2011 in-terview, said she choselaw enforcement as a ca-

reer because herbrother wasworking in lawenforcement atthe time and shesaw what a dif-ference he madein the communi-ty.

Denney saidshe is a perfect

fit for the JTTF.“Melissa is a pit bull

when it comes to investi-gation,” he said. “Whenyou send an officer to atask force like this, thereputation of your de-partment rests on the im-pression that officermakes. She’s a great rep-resentative of our de-partment.”

For some McAuley HighSchool students, summer was atime, not just for part-time jobs,swimming and fun, but a time fortruly remarkable experiences.

Some took a two-week educa-tional trip to Turkey, Greece andItaly. Some went on school-spon-sored outreach trips to Give Kidsthe World Village in Florida andan urban immersion retreat inOver-the-Rhine.

Junior Lauren Tebbe went onan immersion mission trip of an-other kind to Monterrey, Mexico.On this trip, which was spon-sored by Back2Back missionar-ies, she went to Casa Hogar DelNorte, a children’s home, to playwith the orphaned children ev-ery day.

“On the first day, each littlekid got to choose ‘a big buddy’ forthe week,” Tebbe said. “A sweetlittle shy girl named Marisolchose me. The first day shewouldn’t say a word and spentmost of the day crying. But as theweek went on, I got her to smileand laugh and talk to me, which Iwas later told, she has neverdone with another person. Wecreated a very deep connection,and I love her like my own daugh-ter. They want me to come backnext year as an intern and hope-fully I will be able to, but it was anexperience of a life time.”

Six young ladies attendedDAAP Camps at the Universityof Cincinnati.

Senior Christy Blum and ju-nior Jenna Lawhorn participatedin Fashion at DAAP and createdtheir own outfits and struttedtheir stuff on the catwalk!

Aspen Barbro, a senior, par-ticipated in the Fine Arts DAAPcamp and learned how to silkscreen.

Juniors Abby Kreimer, LiaHergenrother and senior JessicaArling participated in theGraphic Communications DAAP

camp where they learned how touse Photoshop and Illustrator inAdobe Suites.

Monica Bartler, a senior,spent 20 days backpackingthrough New Mexico with agroup of girls whom she had nev-er met before at the PhilmontScout Ranch. One week later, shetook part in a Marine Corps sum-mer leadership academy pro-gram at Quantico.

Senior Catie McGarvey hadan internship this summer forU.S. Rep. Steve Chabot. She an-swered the phone, helped con-stituents with problems they en-

countered, and learned “a lotabout our government and thepeople in our district. It wasoverall a fun and educational ex-perience that I thoroughly en-joyed.”

Junior Hayley New partici-pated in a “Journalism in theDigital Age” workshop at North-ern Kentucky University. Shewrites, “There were about 20 stu-dents from the Tristate areawhere we learned how to takestill photos, write articles andlearned about the major journal-ism. We took pictures of the cam-pus, explored the different areas

of journalism, and had thechance to talk to the teachers atNKU. The camp was run by stu-dents at the Norse newspaper.We had the chance to interviewthe students, faculty, and staffabout the various stages of jour-nalism, such as. It gave me thechance to see what really hap-pened behind the scenes of thenewspaper. It also helped merealize that there are so manyparts of journalism besides theactual writing part. I made a cou-ple new friends and learned thatI want to major in Journalism incollege.”

Another junior, Abbi Quinn,who is really interested in thefield of nursing or physical ther-apy when she finishes college, toUC hospital and shadowed a trau-ma nurse for the day.

“While there, I got to meetmost of the doctors and staff andtook a tour of the trauma center. Igot a much bigger picture ofwhat the nurses actually do andhow much time this job requires.This helped me start thinking ofcollege and job opportunities forthe future and it was a very edu-cational and fun-filled day.

Junior Jenna Averbeck at-tended a week-long Women InEngineering Camp at the Univer-sity of Dayton.

“We spent a week at the uni-versity and each day we ex-plored different fields of engi-neering and did an experiment tocoordinate with each field. Weate dinner with professional en-gineers and got to hear their ex-periences and their career paths.It was so fun and it definitelymade me love engineering evenmore.”

Freshman Kylie Montgomeryvolunteered as the Team Captainof “Girls Goin’ Places” for theRelay for Life in Harrison. Sheled two Girl Scout troops andwon the spirit award.

JANUARY 21, 2015 • WESTERN HILLS PRESS • A7NEWS

A couple of years agoI was walking throughour patch of woods whenI came across a largebucket nestled in the

hillside. Itwas filledwith silt soI decidedto emptyit.

No kid-ding, thatbucketwas wayheavierthan itshould

have been. The reason?A snapping turtle tum-bled out from the bot-tom. It was early springso it was still hibernat-ing. My first thoughtwas turtle soup. Ipushed it back into thebucket and had it hauledup the hill. Long storyshort, no soup was madefrom that irritable crea-ture. We let it go and itheaded down the hilltoward the river.

That brings me to thesingle subject of today’scolumn: mock turtlesoup. This will satisfythe many requests. Likegoetta, mock turtle soupis a cherished heirloomrecipe here. The formerCricket restaurantserved a version, and St.Rita’s school serves it attheir festival every year.Ron’s Roost on the westside has it on their me-nu, also.

The original real tur-tle soup was made fromgreen sea turtles.They’re an endangeredspecies and most live inthe Atlantic, Pacific and

Indian oceans. Mockturtle soup originated inEngland in the mid1800s. It later becamepopular in Germany. Idon’t have room for allthe recipes so check outmy website Aboutea-ting.com for more goodones.

Some original mockturtle soups were madefrom calf’s brains. OK,so I’m glad that groundbeef is the meat ofchoice now. If you don’twant to make it, Worth-more’s canned mockturtle soup is a good bet.I spoke with Phil Haock,whose granddad startedthe business in the ’20s.Phil said they sell hun-dreds of cases a weekfrom their Cincinnatifacility. Some goes toformer Tristaters whocan’t go without theirWorthmore. If you wantto make your own, hereare two reader favorites.

WESTERN HILLSPRESSEditor: Richard Maloney, [email protected], 248-7134

I first learned about oursocial structure at St. Wil-liam.

Probably the sixth- or sev-enth-grade – 1963 or 1964.Sister explained that, becausewe lived in Price Hill, wewere “definitely middle-class.”

I remember being dis-appointed to learn that Iwasn’t “upper-class.” I nolonger felt as important. Ithink my classmates felt ittoo. But at least we weren’t“lower-class.” We were taughtto be proud to live in PriceHill because it was “German,Catholic, solid middle-class!”

It wasn’t long afterwardthat the assumed richest kidin my class moved to Clifton.I wondered. Why would hisfamily want to move? Helived in the biggest and best

house on agreat street –Ridgeview!And then Ithought. May-be his daddidn’t want tolive in PriceHill becausehe didn’t thinkof himself asbeing “mid-dle-class.”

I struggled with whyneighborhoods were identi-fied by class. It didn’t seemfair. Just because I lived inPrice Hill I was stereotypedas being “middle-class.” Pre-sumably, a higher class per-son, or a lower-class personfor that matter, wouldn’t feelcomfortable living next doorto me. I wondered.

What defines class? Is it

income? Education? Workethic? Manners – how wetreat others? Why didn’t Sis-ter explain? Why did she evenbring the subject up? I rea-soned that because she did, Iwould never see my class-mate again. If she hadn’t, wewould always be goodfriends.

Recently, upon readingDick Perry’s book, “Vas YouEver In Zinzinnati?” I learnedwhat was happening in PriceHill at the time; and obviouslybeing talked about: “Thebrow of the hill used to beelite. No more. Great housesthe size of castles are beingsliced into apartments. Decayhas set in, slowly creepingwest, and giving some home-owners the willies.”

The late 1800s marked thebeginning of a huge influx of

German Catholics; giving“elite” Price Hill its German,Catholic, middle-class per-sona – and initiating the westside tradition of identifyingone’s neighborhood by a par-ish name. Perhaps the well-intended Sister wished tohide the fact that Holy Fam-ily, a “Catholic neighborhood”had turned poor. Maybe shewanted to cure the St. Williamwillies.

Regardless, branding aneighborhood as “middle-class” is perhaps not the bestidea. Residents who perceivethemselves as being “upper-middle-class” usually move;which begins a downwardtrajectory. The new residentswho replace them are likelyto be the less affluent whodesire to enter the ranks ofthe middle-class. Over time

this repetitive process re-moves from the neighborhoodits role model leaders – thestrongest strand of neigh-borhood fabric.

Arguably, the best way fora neighborhood to attract acontinuous parade of desiredresidents is to avoid the trap-pings of an ethnic, faith orclass distinction. Instead,what is needed is a visioninspired, up and coming, it’sdestined to get better vibe.

Interestingly, today whenasked “Where do you live?”we like to say, “The WestSide.” I wonder. Is this anoth-er way of saying, “I’m defi-nitely middle-class!”

Price Hill: ‘German, Catholic, solid middle class!’

Jim GraweCOMMUNITY PRESSGUEST COLUMNIST

Jan. 14 questionSome people have

criticized recent schoolclosings due to coldweather. What do youthink about the practice ofcanceling classes when themercury dips?

“I feel the policies thatallow for cancelingschool simply because itis cold out are ridiculous.Sadly, we have become alitigation-fearing, over-coddling society of softpeople. Here’s a sugges-tion, when it’s cold out,wear a coat. And maybesome gloves. There is norocket science to this. Ifyour kid is one of thosethat deems it criticallyimportant to wear T-shirts and shorts all yearlong, perhaps a couple ofchilly mornings waitingfor the bus would dohim/her some good. Thevast majority of kids Isee waiting for the busare properly attired, so alow temperature shouldbe of no consequence.The media has becomeone of the chief enablersof the unnecessaryschool closings. Onewould hope for them be alittle less dramatic hourafter hour every timewhen two inches of‘white death from thesky’ is forecast. Growsome backbone people.”

M.J.F.

“I am a volunteer for alarge public venue. Wehave had our days ofshutdown, due to weatherthat, prior to the adventof litigation, heavy traf-fic, and what I call ‘com-mon sense’ might havebeen ‘working’ days. Itruly believe that theteachers view weatherdays as a delay in gettingwork done, increasedpossibility of extendedyears and a nightmare ofreorganization. The ad-ministrative staff thatmakes these decisionsprobably view it as whywe have paid sick days inalmost every profession;to allow some flexibilityin applying safe prac-tices for all employees.

“Only people that I

truly imagine cheer (oth-er than the students),when a weather day iscalled, are those chargedwith the responsibility oftransporting students.I’m betting that most ofthem are already up andgetting to their buses onmornings, before theweather day is called, ifthere is any doubt. Justlow temperatures havenot affected any of theschools that I know, un-less there were associat-ed heating or water prob-lems. Street conditionsand forecast deteriorat-ing weather becomes asmuch of a ‘let’s take aguess’ for the decisionmakers, as we sometimessee or blame the procla-mations of weather fore-casters.

Every week we ask readers aquestion they can reply to viaemail. Send your answers [email protected] with Ch@troom inthe subject line.

Saloons, beer and eventuallyprohibition have been a part ofPrice Hill life.

Larry Schmolt, past presidentand co-ordinator of the Price HillHistorical Society wrote “PriceHill Saloons,” a book filled withhistory and personal remem-brances on the subject. The fol-lowing is taken from his book.

“By 1892, Cincinnati brew-eries were producing a millionand a half barrels of beer a yearwith the city residents, around

half a millionpeople, consum-ing 850,000 bar-rels. It’s calculat-ed that the aver-age consumptionper person was50 gallons, pour-ing nearly 10million dollarsinto the localeconomy eachyear.

“Much of thatbeer was sold in mom and popsaloons such as the popular De-pot Saloon at the corner of WestEighth and Depot Street in Low-er Price Hill. Very likely therewere mahogany front and rearbars with shelves lined with bot-tles of the finest whiskey. Thebartender would draw you a coldbeer for a nickel. At the rear wasthe free lunch counter loadedwith food to fill a hungry work-man’s appetite.

“One only had to purchase abeer to take advantage of thefree lunch. The barkeeper was

betting that his customers, manywho worked in the neighborhood,would linger awhile and pur-chase several more beers. Heand his family would have livedabove the bar with his wife doingthe cooking that kept the lunchcounter stocked.

“Later, the name Depot Saloonchanged to Christoph’s Cafe andGrill where food was still servedbut at a nominal cost. Duringthese years, the saloon remainedpopular because of its location ata crossroads to the west side oftown. Four streetcars passed bythe intersection of Eighth andState. Some passengers trans-ferred to cars going to otherlocations but many worked in the

factories and rail yards in thearea. Workers got off at 3 pm, theclosing time for local banks.Eager to cash their paychecks,Christoph’s would cash them forjust a few pennies, anticipatingthat the workers would stayaround for a few beers and may-be a shot of whiskey from the topshelf.

“Times change. Gus Kurlasbought the place and renamed itthe Gus Kurlas Cafe. Automo-biles became popular and street-cars eventually died out. Fewerand fewer people were trans-ferring at Eighth and State. Busi-nesses relocated and the saloonbusiness fell off. Gus’ Cafewasn’t such a friendly place any-more. Customers became loudand argumentative, with fightsall too common. One day at thecafe, a customer was killed dur-ing a fight. It was decided to hidethe body by burying it under theconcrete floor in the basement.Unfortunately for Gus, the freshconcrete led police to the body ofthe missing man and the saloonclosed for good. It was a sadending to a once popular westside establishment.”

Price Hill Saloons is filledwith a richness of historicalfacts, laced with humor. I’ll besharing other stories from it inthe coming weeks.

WESTERN HILLSPRESSEditor: Melanie Laughman, [email protected], 513-248-7573

Three years ago, then-OakHills High School freshmangirls coach Matt Edmiston ap-proached head coach Mike Ar-nold with an idea. The High-landers wanted to play a gamethat meant more than basket-ball. Edmiston, now the juniorvarsity coach at McAuley, sug-gested playing a game to bene-fit the Ovarian Cancer Alli-ance of Greater Cincinnati.Last season, the Highlandershosted the inaugural TealShootout. In year two, theevent has expanded to includea total of eight teams and fourgames.

“This is a great opportunityfor our girls. They were reallyexcited about it,” said Arnold.“They took a real shine to it. Ithink it had a lot of meaning tothe girls. As it gets bigger, thegirls become a little moreproud of it.”

This year, Xavier Univer-sity has come aboard. TheMusketeers game against De-Paul on Feb. 8 will support thecause. This year’s eventkicked off Jan. 17 when Taylorhosted Finneytown, and con-tinues for three weeks. On Jan.24, Oak Hills hosts Fairfield,and on Feb. 3, McAuley hostsSeton.

Three Oak Hills alumsserve on the board of theOCAGC and have spearhead-ed the Teal Shootout’s develop-ment and growth. Debbie Wal-ter, class of 1988, is an ovariancancer survivor. She is thrilledto see her alma mater do whatit can to raise awareness.

“Oak Hills is a fabulouscommunity to be a part of. Peo-ple have come out of every-where to help me,” said Walter.“We have made it our missionto take this basketball event tothe next level. It's not only agreat fundraiser but also away to create awareness of thesymptoms of ovarian cancer.We have been able to grow thebasketball event with the sup-port of this community.”

Walter and her husband An-dy, Oak Hills class of 1987,have moved away twice in-cluding living overseas for atime. They keep coming backto the community in whichthey grew up. When Debbiefound out she had ovarian can-cer, she knew that she was inthe right place back home.

“It has always been our goalto move back to the Oak Hillscommunity. It's that importantto us,” said Walter. “When Iwas diagnosed with ovariancancer, I could want for noth-ing. There is always someonewilling to lend a helping hand.That is just one small exampleof what a wonderful communi-ty we live in.”

Local businesses on thewest side, including Subway,

CG Marketing Communica-tions, ERF Legal, CincinnatusSavings & Loan, and Bridge-town Finer Meats havestepped up to help the cause.

“Companies like these andtheir leaders are the hallmarkof the west side,” said Walter.

The OCAGC is open to ex-panding its annual events toinclude other sports. The sup-port of local high schools andcolleges helps the organiza-tion reach the most importantdemographic for raisingawareness: women.

“Having six local highschools along with Xavier Uni-versity involved is huge. Ourmission is to create awarenessand support for survivors andtheir families,” said Walter.“Ovarian cancer is known asthe ‘silent killer.’ Having thesupport of these local highschools and Xavier Universityis such a great resource to helpeducate people on the signsand symptoms of ovarian can-cer. High school may seemlike such a young age but if wecan help even just one persondetect this disease early, it isworth the work.”

“Our aim at these events isto not only create awareness tothe students but also to theirmoms, grandmas, aunts andfriends. This event is for allages, girls and boys alike.Boys have moms, too.”

The scope of the event hasincreased 400 percent fromyear one to year two. Thereare no intentions of slowingdown.

“Our goal is to expand theimpact, and adding additionalevents does just that,” saidWalter. “We want to keepgrowing it for the future. Thesky is the limit. Working to-gether with the whole Cincin-nati community benefits us allin our mission to educate ev-ery person on the signs andsymptoms of ovarian cancer.”

“Debbie and Andy havereally taken the lead on this,”said Arnold. “They’ve taken itand ran with it. We didn’t real-ize when we started this howmany people were affected byovarian cancer, and right herein the Oak Hills community.”

The organization’s goal is toreach more than 5,000 peoplethrough the Teal Shootout bas-ketball games. Funds raisedwill go towards helping wom-en of all ages identify early de-tection techniques using theBEAT acronym--bloating, eat-ing difficulty, abdominal pain,trouble urinating.

“This is our mission andwhat we aim to accomplishthrough these wonderfulevents,” said Walter. “We wantto BEAT this terrible disease.”

PRICE HILL — Seton HighSchool basketball coach MikeGleason won’t understate theimportance of senior leader-ship.

The Saints have three sen-iors — Laura Nie, Rachel Sea-man and Laura Hofmeyer —and while those three don’t nec-essarily fill up the stat sheet,what they’ve brought to thisteam is equally as valuable.

“Everything they’ve (sen-iors) done behind-the-sceneshas got us to where we are rightnow,” said Gleason, in his sixthseason with the Saints.“They’re organizing, gettingpeople in the gym when we’resupposed to be off. It’s the littlestuff that’s stood out and whatit’s done has gotten the youngergirls to see how hard you haveto work to be successful.”

Seton felt like they would bebetter this season, but eventhey couldn’t have predicted awinning season at this point inJanuary.

“We felt like we would be alot better this year both athlet-ically and from a couple of kidswho played a lot last year,”Gleason said. “We’ve got an op-portunity to have a winningseason, which we haven’t had inbasketball since 2007.”

The Saints’ future looksbright, not just for the rest ofthis season, but also looking

ahead to next year. Three of Seton’s starters,

who happen to be near the topof the Girls Greater CatholicLeague stat sheet, are under-classmen.

Junior guard Stefanie Au-tenrieb leads the Saints in scor-ing at 12.8 points per game,which ranks fourth overall inthe GGCL. Junior forwardMadison Morgan is right be-hind Autenrieb at 12.6 pointsper game. Morgan’s also fourthin the GGCL in rebounds pergame (6.8). Sophomore guardKelly Byrne is second in theconference in assists (3.4) andthird in steals per game (2.8).

“They’re (Autenrieb andMorgan) the ones who every-one else on the team takes thecue from…they play off each

other a little bit,” Gleason said.“Last year, Kelly (Byrne) start-ed every game for us a fresh-man. There’s times I forgetshe’s just a sophomore.”

Thus far, the highlight of theSaints’ season was a four-gamewinning streak — Seton’s long-est in the last seven seasons.From Dec. 23 to Jan. 3 theSaints beat Hamilton, OakHills, Withrow and Hughes.Gleason credited his team’s“businesslike” approach thisyear.

“It’s almost a maturity, foras young as they are. They don’tget overly excited or overlydown,” Gleason said. “They’renot getting upset with a turn-over or missing a shot; they’rejust constantly playing posses-sion by possession.”

The turnaround in DelhiTownship is complete, butMount St. Joseph University’smen’s basketball team is farfrom satisfied.

After winning 17 games lastseason, one shy of the school rec-ord, the Lions are off to an 11-3start to the 2014-15 season. Matu-rity, trust, and selflessness havebeen the building blocks underfourth-year head coach TobyCarrigan and his staff.

Last year’s team broke astring of six consecutive losingseasons. After graduating justone player from the roster andreturning three experiencedseniors—Mark Allen, Ken Kun-kel, and Andy Countryman—theLions knew that they could sur-pass that success this year.

“Last year, we probably ex-ceeded some expectations,” saidCarrigan. “These three guyshave helped speed up the proc-ess.”

Countryman is the only play-er who has been there for all fourof Carrigan’s seasons at thehelm. He endured a 7-18 fresh-man campaign in which the Li-ons won just three of 18 confer-ence games. He has seen first-hand how the program has beenrebuilt.

“After my freshman year, itcould have been easy to get dis-couraged. The coaches told us tostick it out, and they were right,”said Countryman. “It seems likemore guys are buying into theprogram. Everybody wants to be

here, and for the right reasons.”After a landmark win at Han-

over on Jan. 14, the Lions tookover sole possession of firstplace in the Heartland Colle-giate Athletic Conference. Itwas Mount St. Joseph’s first-ever win at Hanover in 18 tries.The victory was just another ex-ample of the players’ hard workand preparation paying off.

“This is our first group ofguys who have been together formultiple years,” said Carrigan.“We knew what these guys werecapable of; the question was howhard they’d be willing to work inthe offseason.”

Coming off of a winning sea-son for the first time fueled off-season workouts and motivated

the Lions to reach even highergoals. Instead of patting them-selves on the back for their 17-win season, they focused in thesummer months as if they stillhad plenty to prove.

“We were just as hungry com-ing into this season as I was go-ing into any other season,” saidCountryman.

Allen, a Northwest HighSchool graduate who trans-ferred to Mount St. Joe as a ju-nior, added, “We weren’t satis-fied. We knew we could do big-ger and better things this year.”

Bigger and better includeswinning the HCAC outright andearning a berth in the NCAAtournament, two things the pro-gram has never done before.

Rather than hoping to win, theLions expect to reach thesegoals.

“I definitely think there’sadded pressure, but it’s pressurethat we put on ourselves morethan anything,” said Carrigan.“Our guys prepared well in theoffseason and have been able tohandle adversity early on thisseason.”

Kunkel, a Colerain HighSchool graduate who trans-ferred in as a sophomore, said“The difference is we’ve had ataste of success. We knew wecould win the conference and getto the NCAA tournament.”

Teamwork has been the hall-mark of the squad this season.Players do not care about their

individual statistics. The Lionshave depth, but no clear super-star. Six players average be-tween 7.9 and 15.2 points pergame. Six different Lions haveled the team in scoring at leastonce this season.

“Chemistry is somethingthat’s evolved, not somethingthat can be coached,” said Carri-gan. “We have guys that see thebig picture and care about eachother and about how the team isdoing.”

Most nights, four of the fivestarters hail from Cincinnati(Countryman is from Peebles).Half of the 18-man roster playedhigh school basketball in Great-er Cincinnati, something that isnot lost on those players.

“We take pride in making aname for our program in Cincin-nati,” Allen said. “It’s always agood feeling to be home and tolook up in the stands and seefamily and friends.”

If the Lions win seven of theirremaining 11 regular seasongames, they will tie the mark formost wins in a season in programhistory. Of course, they expect toexpand the schedule to includethe HCAC tournament and,hopefully, the NCAA tourna-ment. Right now, the recordbooks are a distant thought.

“We don’t look at the big pic-ture at all,” said Kunkel. “Welook at the next practice. If weget better at every practice, thegames will take care of them-selves.”
