West Carrollton, Greenville to compete in all GWOC sports — except football — beginning next fall
The Greater Western Ohio Conference moved quickly to include West Carrollton and Greenville into its daily schedules.
Those two current independent schools were voted into the area’s super conference last week. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, GWOC commissioner Eric Spahr said all their sports except football will be included ito conference play beginning next fall, 2010.
“The Greater Western Ohio Conference has agreed to incorporate Greenville and West Carrollton into all of their respective divisional schedules in all sports (except football) beginning with the 2010-2011 school year,” said Spahr in a release.
“We are in the process of making the necessary changes to accommodate the transition. Conference administrators are excited to be able to provide the student-athletes of Greenville and West Carrollton the experiences and opportunities that come with GWOC membership earlier than anticipated. We ask for patience as we work through the dynamics of expansion and towards full conference schedule integration in 2012.”

Dublin Coffman tops Centerville 2-1 in girls soccer state semifinal
HILLIARD — The Dublin Coffman girls soccer team scored two second-half goals to rally and defeat Centerville 2-1 in a Division I state semifinal on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Hilliard Bradley High School.
The Elks were denied an opportunity to go to their fifth state title game after Coffman scored twice in the final 29 minutes to advance. Centerville ended its season 20-2-1.
Coffman advanced to its fifth title game appearance since 2001, and the Shamrocks (14-5-3) have won two championships in that time.
Centerville took the lead about 14 minutes into the game. After Coffman had been on Centerville’s side for most of the opening minutes, Centerville’s Laura Kempfer took advantage of a fallen Coffman defender to dribble up the left side and send a pass toward the goal. After bouncing around near the goal, with a touch by the keeper, the ball was punched in at close range by Claire Falknor with 30:39 left in the first half for a 1-0 lead.
Midway through the second half, Coffman’s Hannah May sent a free kick toward the goal, and Jill Allen took it out of the pack for a score with 28:46 left in the game to tie at 1-1.
Then, late in the game, Coffman’s Amber Kern sent a corner kick into the box, and Kenzie Schlemitz fought to put a shot past the Centerville keeper for the deciding 2-1 lead with 7:35 left.

Izzo: Payne ‘brings something we haven’t had in awhile’
Adreian Payne was good enough to boost the Michigan State men’s basketball recruiting class into one of the nation’s best.
Payne, the 6-foot-10 Jefferson High School center, signed his National Letter of Intent to play for the Spartans on Wednesday, Nov. 11, joining a recruiting class that Rivals.com ranked as No. 5 in the nation.
Payne’s addition to the group when he announced his intention two weeks ago, though, boosted the Spartans from No. 15 to No. 5, a tribute to his skill, MSU coach Tom Izzo said during his new conference announcing the recruiting class on Wednesday.
“(Payne) brings something we haven’t had in awhile, a big man with length, athleticism and he can shoot the ball at the 3-point range” Izzo said. “With all four of these guys, I think it makes for an incredible class.”
Payne is ranked No. 20 nationally by Rivals.com. Michigan State also signed guard Keith Appling from Detroit (No. 34 recruit nationally), forward Russell Byrd from Fort Wayne, Ind. (108) and forward Alex Gauna from Eaton Rapids, Mich. (149).
He chose Michigan State over West Virginia, Kentucky and Arizona as arguably the most highly regarded Miami Valley player since Dunbar’s Daequan Cook.
“I think it’ll be one of the better classes we’ve had here in the history of Michigan State University,” Izzo said.
