The Grove City High School baseball team advanced to the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I Championship Game 

after defeating the Mason Comets 4-1. On June 11, the Greyhounds took on Sylvania Northview at Canal Park in Akron but were 

defeated 6-1 for the state title. Before heading up to Akron, the Grove City community lined the streets in support of the team. 

A sensational season 


Staff Writer 

It is easy for athletes to lose sight of great accomplishments 

when their season ends with a loss, particularly one that made 

them feel as if their hearts had been ripped out of their chests. 

But as the players on the Grove City High School boys varsity 

baseball team begin to heal after coming up short in their first 

state championship final, the impact they have made on their 

storied program is starting to come back into focus. 

Senior outfielder Dennis Ritlinger-Nirider says high expectations 

are always attached to a new season, but he added they do 

not set the bar at a level where they automatically believe they 

will make it far into a post-season run. 

“Our coach would not like for us to do that,” he said. 

It is not that head coach Ryan Alexander is a proponent of low 

expectations per se — “they are trained at a high level because 

they expect to compete at a high level,” he explained — but he 

would much rather they stick with the tried-and-true “three 

goal” rule. 

“We set three goals for the beginning of each season,” said 

Alexander, a special education teacher who has been coaching 

the varsity team since 2009. “One goal is to win the OCC-Ohio 

Conference, another goal is to reach 20 wins, and the third goal 

is to win a district championship. Anything else after that is just 

icing on the cake.” 

He said abiding by the three goal rule helps keep them 

focused on the “one game at a time” mentality but he did admit 

he doesn’t mind when shoulder chips are carried over into a new

Grove City High School baseball players Braxton Bryant, 

Braydon Clark, and Zak Zigman hold up their trophy after 

defeating Mason in the state semi-finals. 

Attending a government meeting is not 

often at the top of the to-do list for most 

children. If they happen to be found in 

attendance on a particular night, it is usually 

attributed to the lack of availability of 

a trusted sitter or a school making it a 

requirement to earn a credit for a corresponding 

course. 

But a group of preteens made it a point 

to come out to the village of Urbancrest 

council meeting on June 14 to press their 

elected officials on a singular issue — the 

continued closure of the Vaughn E. 

Hairston Southwest Community Center. 

“I would like to know when the center 

will be open for the youth,” said Britton 

Jones, 12. 

For the past two years, the popular destination 

for athletic recreation and educational 

programming has been closed to the 

general public. It was initially believed to 

be a temporary closure to slow the spread 

of a novel coronavirus but then a loss of 

state funding prompted the site’s long-time 

manager (the YMCA of Central Ohio) to 

cut recreational programming at the location. 

Although the organization still runs 

youth development programs such as Head 

Start, Positive Alternative Learning for 

Students (PALS) and after-school care out 

of the site, it fell on the village and its advisory 

committee to find partners to run 

recreational activities. 

It also didn’t help matters that thousands 

of dollars in upgrades to the facility 

were needed. 

“It was in bad shape for a while there,” 

said village Mayor Joseph Barnes Sr.

SEASON

season if any number of them are not met. 

Take, for instance, their season-ending loss last year to 

Lancaster High School. 

It was the district championship final and the 

Greyhounds had not been in this position since 2017. 

Although evenly matched, they were confident they were 

going to pull off a win against the Golden Gales but lost 2- 

1 in an 11-inning thriller. 

“We felt like we should have won that game,” said 

Ritlinger-Nirider. “We should have won that game.” 

He said the loss left a “bad taste” in their mouth, and it 

propelled them to do better, to be better, this season. With 

an even more competitive schedule — they played multiple 

powerhouse schools from the south — they managed to be 

just that. 

The first team accomplishment of the season was winning 

the conference and reaching that 20 game-win 

threshold. Then came a rematch with the Golden Gales in 

the Division I district championship game. It may have 

taken them two days to do it (inclement weather delayed 

the regularly scheduled game) but they came away with a 

2-0 win in eight innings, propelling them to the Ohio High 

School Athletic Association’s regional semi-finals for the 

first time since 2014. 

What followed, said Ritlinger-Nirider, was a “whirlwind” 

of nail-biting games and up-and-down emotions that 

saw them defeat Hilliard Darby 2-0 on June 3 and last 

year’s Division I state champion New Albany 2-0 the following 

day. 

And then the school was back in the state tournament 

final four for the first time since back-to-back seasons in 

2011 and 2012. 

Ritlinger-Nirider was at the game in 2012 when the #1 

ranked Greyhounds met the #2 ranked Cincinnati 

Archbishop Moeller at Huntington Park in Columbus. He 

said he remembers a crowd packed with fans of the 

Crimson and Blue, the feeling of overwhelming sadness 

when they lost 3-2, and a burgeoning determination that 

he would avenge the loss and send his beloved team to the 

finals when he was old enough to play the high school 

level. 

While it was definitely a team effort, the Greyhounds 

did beat an upstart Mason High School 4-1 on June 10 at 

Canal Park in Akron and made it to their first Division I 

state championship final. 

“It was a very special moment in our school’s history, in 

our program’s history and to our community,” said 

Alexander. “We have had some fantastic teams that 

have come along through the years but no one in 

our storied history has made it this far. 

“But that’s baseball for you. It’s a game of skill,

COMMUNITY CENTER 

Continued from page 1 

While there is still some work to be completed, village 

officials were able to give Jones and his group of 

inquisitive friends an answer to their most pressing 

question. 

“The Vaughn E. Hairston Southwest Community 

Center is open to the youth and the public as of (June 

15),” said Barnes. 

According to Barnes, the community center was 

able to open this summer primarily due to grant funding 

provided by the Franklin County Department of 

Job and Family Services. He said the county has designated 

the community center as a “Ready to Earn” 

worksite for teenagers seeking employment and they 

will serve as camp counselors for daytime youth programming. 

“We are excited to be able to partner with the county 

commissioners and St. Stephen’s Community House 

to not only provide our youth with some much needed 

summer programming, but our community with access 

to the center as well.” 

The Southwest Community Center will be open 

during the weekday and the hours of availability will 

be divided among age groups. 

Senior citizens will have access to the facility from 

7 a.m. to 11 a.m.; youth ages 7-17 will have access to 

the facility from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a free lunch provided 

daily; and those with ages that fall in-between 

those groups will have access to the facility from 5 p.m. 

to 7 p.m. 

Use of the facility will be free throughout the month 

of June but it will transition to a monthly fee starting 

on July 1, 2022. Barnes said the fee schedule will be 

$25 for all seniors and young adults who reside in the

a game of inches and ultimately a game of luck. And sometimes 

you don’t have that luck and sometimes you do and 

it runs out.” 

Unfortunately, he said, that is exactly what happened 

when the team met Sylvania Northview in the final game, 

losing to the Wildcats 6-1 on June 11. 

“Our game is small ball and they played it against us 

and they played it better than us,” said Alexander. “That’s 

just the way it goes sometimes.” 

After the loss, the players were plagued by what if’s and 

all of their pride in the team’s accomplishments and the 

individual accolades were tossed to the wayside. They didn’t 

remember that they met all three of their seasonal 

goals and they certainly didn’t bask in the knowledge that 

they made it to the regionals, the semi-finals or their challenging 

division’s final game. 

Eventually, those great memories and all of the good 

feelings attached to them started to filter back in, so much 

so that they can now acknowledge the history that was 

made — sort of. 

“I think we’re starting to wrap our heads around it but 

it is still settling in,” said Ritlinger-Nirider. 

Alexander said when it finally does, they ought to be 

proud of what they did as a team this season. 

“We scrapped all year, we met and surpassed our goals, 

and we played the game the right way,” he said. “You can’t 

ask for anything more.”

village; $30 for young adults who do not reside in the 

village; $15 for non-resident youth; and $10 for youth 

who live in the village. 

Although the general public will now be able to 

access the facility, what the center can offer in terms 

of organized programming is currently limited to the 

daytime youth programming portion. For instance, the 

fitness center will be open for solo or buddy-partner 

training but there are no scheduled group workout sessions 

led by an instructor at this time. 

Much to the disappointment of the children (and 

some adults) in attendance, the indoor swimming pool 

will also be unavailable as it needs upgrades related to 

the pumping system. There is also the question as to 

whether it could be adequately staffed due to the 

nationwide shortage of lifeguards. 

Barnes said while village officials know the 

Southwest Community Center still has a ways to go 

before it can be fully operational, they are pleased to 

have it open to the general public in some capacity 

again. 

“It has taken us a little while but we are getting 

there,” he said. 

In other news, Barnes said the village is accepting 

applications for youth (especially those who live in 

Urbancrest) between the ages of 14-18 to work as daytime 

youth counselors at the site through the “Ready 

to Earn” program. Inquiries can be made in-person 

during normal business hours at the village administrative 

office, located at 3357 Central Ave., or by calling 

(614) 875-1279. The program will run through the 

beginning of August.

In Education 


Staff Writer 

The South-Western City School 

District’s administrative personnel have a 

new contract. 

At its regular meeting on June 13, the 

board of education unanimously approved 

a new management agreement with the 

members of the South-Western 

Administrative Association (SWAA). 

Under the terms of the management 

agreement, which runs from July 1, 2022 

through June 30, 2025, classified administrators 

will receive a salary increase of 3 

percent in the first two years of the contract, 

and a 2.8 percent increase in the 

third year. Certificated administrators will 

receive a 1 percent salary increase and a 2 

percent board paid retirement in the first 

two years of the contract, and a 2.8 percent 

salary increase in the third year of the contract. 

Members of SWAA include school principals, 

assistant principals, and some 

administrative staff at the District Service 

Center. 

Superintendent Dr. Bill Wise praised 

the members of the association, citing their 

tireless work behind the scenes. 

“Effective leadership drives culture, 

which shapes the experiences and opportunities 

our students enjoy each day at 

South-Western City Schools,” he said. “Our 

administrative team works tirelessly 

behind the scenes to account for the needs 

of the school community and provide opportunities.” 

Members of the board shared a similar 

sentiment. 

“We applaud our administrative team 

members for their service and commitment 

to the children of the district,” said board 

president Cathy Johnson. “The leadership 

our administrators provide is a testament 

to their skills in working with children and 

education. 

“Expectations and demands continue to 

increase and our administrative staff continues 

to meet the challenge.” 

During the meeting, the board also 

approved a salary index increase for non- 

SWAA members. They include the deputy 

superintendent, the executive director of 

technology, the executive director of communications, 

the assistant superintendents 

of curriculum and personnel and 

additional DSC staff. 

The new management agreement with 

the members of SWAA comes on the heels 

of recent board approved contracts with 

members of its certificated and classified 

employees. In April, the board approved a 

new three-year collective bargaining agreement 

with the Ohio Association of Public 

School Employees (OAPSE) Local 211 and

movie-themed activities at 7:30 p.m. 

in May the board approved a new threeyear 

collective bargaining agreement with 

the South-Western Education Association 

(SWEA). 

Treasurer Hugh Garside said while the 

increase in salaries and benefits were higher 

than expected in the five-year financial 

forecast, the district will be able to maintain 

its strong fiscal standing throughout. 

“We would not be able to certify these 

salary increases if we could not prove that 

we have the funds available,” he said. 

In other news, the board agreed to waive 

a competitive bidding process and declare 

an upgrade to the HVAC unit at the Bostic 

Center an urgent necessity. They awarded 

a $383,029 contract to Speer Mechanical to 

provide the upgrades as “expeditiously as 

possible.” Garside said he expects the delivery 

date of the unit to take at least 40 

weeks due to the high demand of raw materials 

and continued supply chain issues. 

Weather-related cancellation information 

is available on the Grove City and The 

Naz social media sites or call the weather 

hotline at 614-277-3060 the day of the 

event.

The city of Grove City is inviting citizens to get 

active in the park. 

The city’s parks and recreation department is now 

offering Fitness in the Park, a drop-in workout class. 

“Our staff is always looking at creative new ideas to 

get people into the parks,” said Grove City Parks and 

Recreation Director Kim Conrad. “We wanted to offer 

something different this year.” 

Fitness in the Park offers a variety of classes with 

instruction from local instructors from 6:30 to 7:30 

p.m. each Thursday from now through the end of July 

in the Town Center Park, 3359 Park St. The classes 

include hip-hop fitness with Mike Nicholson, Zumba 

led by Chauntel Horaney, yoga with Amber Philips, 

and body combat instructed by Trisha Justice. 

The free sessions allow residents to drop-in for the 

whole class or part of the class. All ages and fitness levels 

are encouraged to participate. 

“It’s for anyone and everyone,” said Conrad. 

According to Conrad, the instructors teach modifications 

for those who need to go at a slower pace. 

The remaining classes include: 

• June 30: hip-hop fitness 

• July 7: Zumba 

• July 14: yoga 

• July 21: body combat 

• July 28: Zumba 

Residents should dress in activewear and bring 

water. 

Fitness in the Park has been sponsored by The Ohio 

State University Wexner Medical Center. According to 

Conrad, the city needed sponsorship for the program to 

pay the instructors involved and advertise the classes. 

Workout classes may be canceled due to unfavorable 

weather conditions. Cancellation information can 

be found on the city’s social media pages as well as the 

weather hotline at 614-277-3060. 

For more information on Fitness in the Park, visit

Pets of the week 

Calvin and his family 

were rescued from 

the streets and raised 

in a loving foster 

home. He is a 3- 

month-old cute guy 

who is very chatty 

and loves to play. 

Calvin is neutered, 

vaccinated and ready 

for his forever home. 

He is up for adoption through Colony Cats. 

FYI: colonycats.org 

Emma is almost 2 

years old. Her kittens 

have all been adopted. 

Now, she is looking 

for her turn for a 

furever home. She is 

not happy in her foster 

home because 

some of the other 

cats chase her. She 

needs a home with fewer cats and with someone 

who will work with her to gain her trust. 

She is a sweet girl and just needs time to 

adjust to a new home. She loves Temptations 

cat treats. Emma would do best in a quiet 

home with older children. She is up for adoption 

through Friends for Life Animal Haven. 

FYI: fflah.org 


These furry friends are available 

for adoption at local 

rescues and shelters 

Belle is a very sweet 

little girl. She is a bit 

plump and about 2 

years old. All of her 

kittens have been 

adopted, so now 

Belle is looking for 

her furever home. 

She is a bit shy but 

loves to sit in her foster 

dad’s lap. She 

gets along with other 

cats. A family with older kids might work out 

best for her. Belle is up for adoption through 

Friends for Life Animal Haven. 

FYI: fflah.org 

Cheese is a friendly 

cat who would make 

a great addition to 

any family. He likes to 

play and just hang 

out. Cheese is very 

eager to find a home 

of his own. If you are 

interested in meeting 

Cheese, contact 

Colony Cats.
