Happy St. Patricks Day!!!!!!! - JC Tigers going to State!

609. A picture is worth a thousand words - Jackson Center Tigers Head Coach Scott Elchert high fives his assistants, Garrett Serr, Issac Klopfenstein, Bart Smith, and Brad Esser after the Tigers captured their third Boys Basketball Regional Championship at Trent Arena in Kettering last night with a very convincing 50-37 victory over the Jefferson Township Broncos in a game which was not near as close as the final score indicates.  The Tigers lead 19-6 at halftime and scored the first five points of the second half.  The lead reached 22 at 35-13 at one point in the third quarter.

The Tigers now face the Nubians of Columbus Africentric Early College School in one Division IV State Semi-final game on Thursday at 10:45 am at the Jerome F. Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio State University.  The Nubians defeated Beaver Eastern 78-43 last night.  The other semi-final game will match the Arlington Red Devils and the defending state champion Berlin Hiland Hawks.

610.  Here is a picture of one of my favorite Cincinnati Reds who still looks like he could replicate his 1987 when he went for 37 home runs, 50 stolen bases, and 100 RBIs
