Bellbrook adds to the proof: Playing better opponents helps
The Bellbrook girls basketball team might not have seemed like a pick as one of the best in the area when the Golden Eagles started the season 2-3. That is, if you were only looking at the record.
But consider the losses. The defeats came against Fairmont, Vandalia Butler and Xenia, three of the best big-school teams in the area that now have a combined record of 35-10.
Since the loss to Xenia on Dec. 7, Bellbrook is undefeated. The Golden Eagles (11-3) have won nine straight, including tonight’s 44-43 win against Brookville, the second key defeat of the SWBL Southwestern Division rival this season. Brookville dropped to 13-3, and two of those losses have come against Bellbrook.
Brookville scoring machine Courtney Boyd put up 16 points against Bellbrook, but the Golden Eagles’ Leisha Crawford led a balanced scoring attack with 12 points as three teammates each scored eight points.

Texas Southern still using Dayton connection
Texas Southern football coach Johnnie Cole is a Dayton native, and he’s still using those connections to draw players to the Houston Division I-AA school.
Chaminade Julienne receiver Laron Brown is visiting Youngstown State today, Jan. 28, before getting on a plane and heading to Houston to see Texas Southern.
If Brown — a 6-foot-4, 180-pounder who caught 22 passes for 244 yards and two scores this season — joins the team, he will be the third area player to accept a scholarship from Cole. The Tigers already boast a pair of former city league running backs in Dunbar’s Marcus Wright and Marshall’s Ryan Jones.
It also helps that Cole uses tight ends coach Raymond James, a Xenia native to recruit players in this area.
Brown is the second CJ player likely to earn a D-I football scholarship. Offensive lineman Andy Jomantas is set to sign his letter of intent with North Carolina State on Wednesday, Feb. 3, the first day allowed.
