 Highest Scoring HS Game of All Time To Be Honored Tonight; 

Depsite Car Accident, Clark Will Host Festivities

By Deon Cash

30 years ago the Sidney Yellow Jackets and the Colonel White Cougars met on a Saturday afternoon in Dayton, Ohio. 

What ensued in the Cougar Dome that day has still never been broken, as the state ranked Cougars defeated the high speed Yellow Jackets by a score of 130-123 in a high school varsity hoop game. 

While the game of basketball has changed dramatically across the globe, the record still stands firm in the OHSAA record books at #1. 

Tonight the former head coach of the Sidney Yellow Jackets (Tom Clark) will bring both teams together to celebrate the historic day over 30 years ago. 

During the West Carrollton-Sidney game, at halftime, both teams willl be honored. 

They will meet and greet pre-game, and watch the Pirates - Yellow Jackets game afterwards. Then they will be honored at halftime with the two teams going to watch the game in the 4th quarter. 

"Its truly a honor to be respected by two other organizations when you break a record like this. Coach Clark has always been 1st class." 

         Deon Cash, former Cougar player stated. 

"And for Coach Parker to let us do this during his game, its just major respect from the Cougar alumni. We really appreciate it. While it wasn't a state championship, it still stands after 30 years." 

After the game it was like, "Did we just score 130 points? It was astounding to think about."

Coach Clark came to Dayton 24-7 as he and former 93' hoopers Gavin Cathcart and Jarred Vordemark talked about the historic day on S.E.Live365 podcast along with other topics.

 Wolfy, Thurgood Ladies Hoops Look For City League 3-Peat, Lengthy Run This Year

With the season starting, one of the more experienced teams with a great chance to make a tournament run is the Thurgood Marshall Lady Cougars.  

With 3 upper tier hoopers in Morganne Postell, Samara Gibson and Mikayla Williams, the Lady Cougars have 3 bonafide All-District hoopers who should have a major impact this season.

Watch Thurgood Season Preview Here:

https://youtu.be/5UQIR6TXAE8?si=DRPihPWqaDNokU5o

The Lady Cougars, led by Duane Wolfy Hutchinson, have won the Dayton Public City League title the last two seasons, as they was undefeated 2 years ago (8-0) and was 9-1 last year, as Meadowdale tied the Lady Cougars for the top spot.

It will be a battle this season, as Meadowdale has some weaponry of their own.

But Hutchinson is ready, and wants to send his four seniors out on top. 

"Our seniors want to go out on top and we are gonna do whatever we can to make that happen as a team." We want to 3-peat and make a run in the OHSAA Tournament. We got a taste of that success last year, and we want more of that." Hutchinson would state.

With a few underclassmen who will be factors, look for another banner season with the Lady Cougars.

 In their first city league game they will face Meadowdale at home, which should be a great atmosphere tonight.

Central State Defeats Clark State, Halts Eagles Winning Streak; Season Begins Next Week

 Central State Defeats Clark State, Halts Eagles Winning Streak;

Regular Season Begins Next Week 

The Central State Marauders defeated the Clark State Eagles 84-72 at Clark State Community College in a scrimmage Monday night.

See EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS WITH COACHES           (23 Minute Mark) 

Coach Alstork, Davis Speak After Game

The game would start even, but Central State would pull away midway through the first half, stretching the lead to 20 before going into half with big lead (46-28). 

However early in the second half, The Eagles would scratch their way back into the game, as Clark State held Central State to only 1 point in the first 6 minutes of the half. They would cut the lead to 12 (48-38) before the the Marauders called a timeout to settle things down.

The lead would shrink to as low as 8, but Clark State wasn't able to get any closer, as their 5-game winning streak came to a end. 

Central State size was too much to overcome. Marauders coach Antonio Davis spoke after the game. 

"We played well in the first half, but we stunk in the second half. Our inability to score in the first 5 minutes of the second half gave Clark State the opportunity to stay in the game." 

Both teams will start regular season games next week. 

"I like that the guys fought back in the 2nd half," Eagles coach Quinton Alstork stated. "We have some things we definitely need to work on, but the fight is there."

"There were some upset guys in the locker room. These guys care. We need that intensity heading into the season." 

Clark State will open up next Wednesday against O.U. Lancaster while Central State starts its season on Friday against West Alabama.

They will face Wilberforce on the 15th of November (Wednesday) at 7pm.

Chaminade Hammers Fenwick, Moves To 5-2 on Coach White Birthday

Chaminade Hammers Fenwick, Moves To 5-2 on Coach White Birthday During Homecoming Weekend

The Chaminade-Julienne Eagles had took a tough loss to the chin last week, and was humbled after a winning streak had pushed them to 4-1. 

Fenwick had lost a tough one to Badin as well, so both teams were 4-2 coming in to a big Thursday Night Lights matchup.

Which team would rise to the occasion?

It would be C-J, as they would punish Fenwick with the ground game and the defense causing turnovers to a tune of 48-20. 

It was Eagles head coach Earl White birthday on top of that. 

"We wanted to set the tone." Coach White would say after the game. 

And that they did, as they would amass a 60-yard run on the opening play, and wouldn't stop until they had put up a 35 spot at half (35-7). The running game amassed over 200 yards in the 1st half alone.

After C-J took a 7-0 lead Fenwick would throw a interception in Eagles territory,  which Chaminade would turn into a TD.

Then Fenwick would fumble on the next series, and C-J would score again, and at the end of the 1st quarter it was 21-0.

Fenwick would fumble again, which Chaminade would recover, and score again to make it 28-0 before Fenwick would finally get on the board with a TD of their own to make it 28-7.

Chaminade would score one more time, late in the 2nd half to push it to 35-7 at half.

With the win, Coach White now has the Eagles in prime position for a playoff berth with 3 games remaining. They sit at 5-2 with Carroll, Badin and Alter rounding out the regular season.

Fenwick falls to 4-3 and despite having a host of players out due to injury, will look to turn it around next week.

It was Homecoming for the Eagles and they were in full force for the festivities on a perfect night weather wise (high 60's, no breeze, no rain). 

Colonel White Hoop Legend Anthony Talley Leaves Lasting Legacy

 Colonel White Hoop Legend Anthony Talley Leaves Lasting Legacy; 

Most Underrated Player in DPS History? 

by Deon Cash 

Anthony Talley, one of the most talented guards in the 90's, was possibly the most underrated player in Dayton and OHSAA history.

Talley passed away last week due to health complications. He was 48. 

Nicknamed AMP, which he had on his jersey, Talley was a super smooth but extremely explosive guard who could legitimately play both guard positions at 6'2, and was a absolute dynamo during his time at Colonel White in the mid 90's.  

In his sophomore year, he dropped 36 on Patterson, which featured the likes of Allen Spears, Deon Patterson, and that elite team coached by Bradley. 

He went toe to toe with DPS all time leading scorer Richard "TuTu" Brown and "Boomer Bozeman," one of the top backcourts in Dayton Public Schools history.

Early in 1993, there were reports that Talley would be back for his senior season. But it wasn't until people seen him in school that they knew that Talley was back. 

And with that came one of the greatest seasons in Colonel White and Dayton Public Schools history.

The Cougars would end up 16-4 on the season, and would be ranked as high as #4 in the OHSAA State polls. The team would amass the highest scoring ppg in DPS, and Dayton HS history at 89.6 ppg, which was absolutely insane in that time. 

That 93-94' team was also ranked as high as #17 in the USA Today Basketball Poll, which was the highest ranking ever for a Dayton Public School. And still is. 

 The points per game still ranks as a Top 5 all-time average ppg in OHSAA history. 

Remember, this was a time where the game was transitioning into a full court fast pace type of game, where colleges such as Arkansas "40 Minutes of Hell" and Loyola Marymount high.scoring antics were just making its way onto the hoop scene. 

Colonel White coaches, Tom Clements and Billy Staten were the leaders of the new way of play.

We wanted to push the tempo because we had so many weapons, and we wanted to wear teams down." We did that very well and Talley was the leader of the pack." Staten said recently. 

"We had some great talent on that team. That team was arguably the most talented team Colonel White has ever had."

"While the Hoggie and Jervaughn Scales state led team was extremely talented as well, this team had all the pieces and was just as talented. We just couldn't finish the deal."  

Talley would miss his entire junior year from playing high school ball. 

However, in his senior season, he came back with a vengeance. He averaged 25ppg while dropping dimes, slamming on all types of players, hitting 3's with range, elite ball handling, and being a savvy leader, with his signature smile and swagger. 

And on a weekend in December, Talley also was the leading scorer in the highest scoring game in OHSAA history. 

Talley would drop 35 points in a scintillating thriller between Colonel White and Sidney that ended up being a instant classic as the Cougars beat Sidney 130-122. That game still sits as the highest scoring game in OHSAA history 30 years later.

The game will be honored by coach Clark in Sidney in December during the basketball season.

"Anthony Talley was one of the greatest players I ever seen in high school." Coach Clark, who was the head coach of Sidney at the time, stated. 

"Just a amazing ball player."

And don't forget to mention the clutch gene he seemed to have, which was Jordan-esqe. 

When the game was on the line, Talley was the guy. And he most always delivered in the clutch. Just ask any coach who witnessed it or player who played with or against him.

I had the honor of playing with Anthony Talley in my high school career. It was one of the greatest years of my life and truly a honor to play with the guy. He is the most naturally gifted guard I ever seen. Sometimes you would be watching him on the court, even though you were playing with him. 

He would go on to play in JUCO in California (Oxnard) and in Nevada, and in his only full season he led the entire California juco league in scoring. The Seattle Supersonics literally had Talley on their radar. 

He would come back to Ohio after his stints with the colleges out west. 

A great player, but a even better person. Was a family guy, and stayed close to his loved ones and friends.  

Rest in power Amp. 

Talleys' services will be held at Thomas Funeral Home today at 1pm.

The 9th Annual Making Memories Golf Classic had a amazing turnout, with over 160 golfers attending the annual event recently. The event was held at the Walnut Grove Country Club in Dayton, Ohio.

"We are so blessed to have the support from our golfers, our staff, the sponsors and donors, The Dayton Foundation, and everyone else who is in the fight for a cure for Alzheimers." Howard stated. 

With a schedule that starts at 6am for the event, Howard knows his team is second to none.

"I want to give a special thanks to the Making Memories staff, who helped make this event special. Without them this would not be possible.

Howard would say after the event at the Check Presentation at The Dayton Foundation.

The event would start at 8am. Despite a little drizzle early, the bad weather held off and the golfers were able to get in a good round of golf. 

The event ended around 5pm and included awards, breakfast and lunch and honored some great raffle prizes as well. 

With special guest speakers such as Ron Todd, Mayor Jeffrey J Mims and other esteemed public figures, great messages were divulged during the closing ceremonies.
