Recruiting ‘process just starting’ for Fairfield football
Now with its successful 6-4 season behind it, Fairfield High’s football team has turned its attention to 2010 and recruiting.
Coaches from Central State were in today, Nov. 10, and other schools, such as the College of Mount St. Joseph, will be visiting in the coming weeks. The University of Cincinnati stopped by three weeks ago, particularly to check in with senior safety Arryn Chenault, a UC recruit.
“The process is just starting,” Tribe coach Aaron Fitzstephens said. “In the next week or two, it will start picking up.”
Other seniors who are expected to draw interest are: DL Russell Turner, LB Tyler Snell, QB Justin McCray, DB Josh Scott, WR C.J. Tally and TE Nick Kaminsky.
Anywhere between 10 to 12 starters will be back for the 2010 season, which gets underway with weight lifting sessions on Dec. 2.
“It’s really exciting,” Fitzstephens said. “There’s a lot of energy in the program. We got the coaches in place and the talent in Fairfield. We want to make this a special football program. We have the banquet (Wednesday) night, and we’ll acknowledge the senior class (of 27). They laid the foundation for the future.”

Lakota West product Karaffa to play at Xavier next week
Matt Karaffa, a 2006 Lakota West High graduate, is a senior walk-on guard for Bowling Green State University’s men’s basketball team.
The Falcons travel to Xavier next Tuesday night, Nov. 17. Tip-off is 7:30 p.m. at the Cintas Center.
“It’s exciting,” said Karaffa, a first-team, all-GMC pick as a senior at West. “I played there in high school, and it will be interesting to come back and play in a different atmosphere. We came down two years ago and played Cincinnati. Coming back my senior year and being the last time, it will give me something to remember.”
Karaffa, in his third year in the BGSU program, has appeared in 13 games over the last two seasons.
