Kenton Ridge’s Dobie bowls 300 game

Witt men looking for somebody to step up
The Wittenberg men’s basketball team started 1-5 in 2007. It is 1-4 so far this year. But coach Bill Brown doesn’t take solace in the fact that he’s been here before.
“We were in the same position (last year,” Brown said. “If I’m honest, I can’t say that I feel the same as last year. We were really making progress (last year), and we had been competitive in every game. We really haven’t made progress, and we haven’t been competitive in every game. We need somebody to step forward. We’ve grab-bagged a little bit for personnel, but you just can’t do that in basketball forever. You just wait for somebody to step forward.”
The Tigers lost to Cedarville 80-53 on Saturday, Dec. 6.

Kenton Ridge Coach Ed Foulk figures the big test for his team will come next week, when it plays Catholic Central, Shawnee and Bellefontaine.
But, judging from Wednesday night’s score, the Cougars already are in mid-season form.
Dodie Shingler and Angie Finkes each fired in 20 points to lead a parade of six players in double figuresas Kenton Ridge pounded winless Tecumseh, 105-65, for its fourth straight victory.
The Cougars, who are 2-0 in the Central Buckeye Conference, rolled to a 61-29 halftime lead and were in front, 92-51, at the end of three quarters, when Foulk pulled his starters.
“We’re just an explosive team this year,” said Foulk, whose club shot 57 percent from the field.
Kenton Ridge came within three of the school record for points in a game, set last season in a 108-35 romp over Urbana.
Trish Bichler flirted with a triple-double, adding 17 points, 11 assists and seven steals, while Heather Nienaber also had 17 points, Karma Nutter 14 and Jamie Estep 12. Finkes had 14 rebounds.
Sarah Shore and Michelle Demmitt each scored 11 points for Tecumseh, while Jill Miesse added 10.
