Former Bearcat, CIty League Champ Launches Hindsight Training Combine February 20th; Multiple D-1, D-2, D-3 Coaches and Programs Have Aleady Committed

 Darren Powell, one of the better football coaches in the Miami Valley, lost his opportunity to coach the Dunbar Wolverines 5 years ago. 

Powell had taken the Wolverines program to elite status (8-1) and was headed to a OHSAA tournament berth when things went south for him and the program he had came up with from the time he was a little kid. 

Powell would be blamed and was suspended indefinitely for being accused of playing an ineligible player. He would not be able to coach in High School again.

Powell would firmly and thoroughly deny the accusations, despite most not believing in him. It wouldn't matter, as Powell would be thrown through the mud and deemed guilty by OHSAA, Dayton Public Schools, and whoever else heard the story.

For Powell, that moment would be crippling, but not something Powell would let stop him from doing what he loved to do: Helping the youth elevate to the next level. 

Over the next few years, Powell admitted, it was a hard journey.

                     D.Cash (L) & Darran Powell (R) 

"I knew I was innocent and did not do what they were saying I did. It was tough to hear all the reports and see that people thought I had done that. 

"There was nothing I could do but pray and figure out what I was going to do next." Powell would state.

After numerous hearings and waiting for years to for OHSAA to do their due diligence, it finally happened before this season started: Powell would be reinstated to become a head coach in OHSAA again. Powell felt vindicated, relieved, and happy at the same time.

"I knew I was innocent, and it showed once everything came out. I'm glad to be able to coach in the high school setting again."

While Powell was working with the family business, he got a opportunity to get back in coaching last season, as he was a Assistant Coach with the Flyght Academy last season. The Flyght Academy lost in the playoffs and it renewed his energy to get back to a head coaching position, when the time is right.

It felt good get back in the fold and be out there on the field."  

But Powell has shifted his focus to his new training program, which will be launching his first ever football Showcase / Combine next week. Powell started his training program last year, and has taken it to new heights this year.

 The name of the Showcase is the Hindsight To Go Training / Combine, which launches next Monday (20th). It will feature kids from 3rd grade all the way through high school. 

"I have been wanting to launch this for 5 years. Now is the time. I'm excited for all the coaches, players, and college scouts who will be attending and watching." 

With Springfield, Trotwood, Piqua, West Carrollton, Tippecanoe, and the City League committed, it will be a great vibe at Dayton Sports Complex, which is under new ownership. All the coaches, AD's, and players will have their invites by Friday.  

"We are looking for 50-100 kids in each grade. We will have S.E.Live365 there to launch the Live Stream. There will be a host of media available. We will have a guest speaker or two. So yes, it will be a big day on the 20th. If you want to get better, be evaluated, and be around some professional and hard-working football players, come to the event." Powell said. 

With commitments from over 20 D-1 & D-2  colleges, the event has already created a national buzz in its first year. 

And we're talking about Power 5 Conferences who have committed, so expect a influx of other schools to watch as well.

The event will be streamed, as you can watch the combine and different drills on the website.

McMahon Enjoying Great Success at Ohio State as a Freshman; #3 Lady Buckeyes Look To Set A Record in Next Game

 While the boys high school basketball teams always produce great talent who go on to play for D-1 schools, the women have been paving the way lately on the highest level in Southwest Ohio in the college hoop game.  

The local girls ballers from the Dayton area have been more prevalent in being key players, and are becoming stars in their own right, on their college teams as well.

A couple years ago there was a kid from Centerville, who was a "Can't Miss" prospect. Cotie McMahon, then only a HS junior, was going toe to toe with the likes of McDonalds All-American senior Bree Hall (Who is a key player for South Carolina) and other top players in the Dayton area.

McMahon and the Elks were very good, and with her coming back for her senior year it looked as if the Lady Elks would have their first McDonalds All-American and be reaching a State Semifinal. 

Well, McMahon had other plans, and decided to graduate early, which would end her HS career.

While McMahon and her family talked about it, the Buckeyes were locked in on her after seeing her in her sophomore and junior campaign at Centerville.

She would decide to graduate early, and she would go to Ohio State to play with the Lady Buckeyes.

But before she would step one minute on the court with Ohio State, McMahon was selected to represent the USA Under-18 team at the World Championships.

And represent she did, leading the team in scoring en route to the gold medal, and showing that she could, in fact, possibly be one of the next wave of stars of womens' basketball.

Now fast forward to her first season at OSU.

McMahon has fit in flawlessly with a Lady Buckeyes team that has all the firepower to reach a Final Four. Adding McMahon, who is now averaging 11 ppg to go with her rebounding, playmaking, fiery mentality, and all around play, and you got a recipe for a NCAA Title contender.

But make no mistake: it is her intensity and physicality which seperate her from the rest.

McMahon plays with a spark, an grittiness, that is unmatched.  Her ability to drive and create is one that feels like Lebron on a fast break. 

Get in the way at your own risk. 

And as far as her defense? It is elite already, but still needs polish, which she is doing every day.

McMahon was plugged as a starter from day one, and its easy to see after a big win over Michigan, which runs the #3 ranked Lady Buckeyes record to 15-0. She can defend guards and post players with ease. And when she gets going offensively? Watch out. 

The next win will set the record for the most wins to start a season for the Lady Buckeyes.  

While she had been on a offensive scoring tear, dropping 20+ points in 4 or her last 5 games, this game was about heart, and who had it the most.

Ohio State would pull away late, after Michigan had cut it to a 4-point game, after being down 15 early in the 3rd quarter. 

Michigan, ranked #14 in the country, also has some local talent with Jordan Hobbs, a Springboro grad, and Laila Phelia, a 2-Time State Champion from Mount Notre Dame in Cincinnati.  

In trying to talk with McMahon after the game, you see the makings of a star: Kids and adults all over the place wanting autographs and pictures. Running from one autograph and picture to the next.  

Even some former Buckeye legends having their kids pictures taken with her. 

When around her, you feel a budding superstar vibe, but her humility, family core values and awesome smile and energy brings the vibe down to make you feel welcoming.  You also feel it in her conversation. 

In asking her about her game it was simple:

"Today I was needed to do a job defensively, and provide whatever my team needed me to do today. I was just worried about doing what is needed to get a win against a tough Michigan team. Today wasn't my day to score."  McMahon said.

Congrats to a young girl who took the road lesser taken. Its very rare to see a successful African-American student-athlete graduate school early to play sports at the next level - and be really good at it at in the early stages, despite all the obstacles. 

And another final point. This is becoming a special Ohio State team we are watching. 

Congrats to McMahon for her early success for her and the Lady Buckeyes team.

Follow us on the Journey!

Across The Waters: Thomasson Takes Road Lesser Traveled, Wins Another Title

 Here's our weekly segment titled, "Across The Waters" where the top athletes from Dayton area and beyond will be featured on their sports journeys across the world in different sports.

THOMASSON TAKES ROAD LESSER TRAVELED, WINS ANOTHER TITLE IN RUSSIA

By Deon Cash 

Joe Thomasson, one of the top players to wear a Thurgood Marshall uniform, had a banner year last season in Spain in his 5th season as a professional basketball player. 

When the season was over, Thomasson would spend time with his family, then come back home to play with the Red Scare in the TBT Championship.

 

He also would win a title in the Kingdom Summer League, which featured the likes of Trey Burke (Houston), Xavier Simpson (Orlando) Jared Sullinger (Toronto) and other known ballers in the NBA. 

Thomasson name was a hot topic in the basketball world. So much so, that he would have a talk to a reputable NBA Agency as he looked at all his options. And when we say reputable, we mean a big time agency.

And yes, Thomasson did have NBA options after his last season in Spain.

However, Thomasson knew he had unfinished business before testing the NBA waters, as he has said he will try to do, "When the time is right and if the situation is right."

While Thomasson was white hot as far as having opportunities at this stage of his career (28 years old), he also really enjoyed the overseas life, as he has taken his wife and kids with him on the journey the last couple of seasons. 

Last season was magical for Thomasson, and with it came the real possibility of getting to the NBA. 

But for Thomasson, heading back overseas felt like the best play - for now. 

"At this point in my career, I want to make sure I take care of my family for the rest of our lives. I know the NBA is a possibility, but Zenith showed me that they really wanted me to be a part of their family and to help them win championships and were here for that. I'm very grateful and blessed to be here and I'm excited for what the season holds." Thomasson stated.

While some people feel like Russia is not a smart place to go for athletes with the Brittany Griner situation (finally resolved), Thomasson shrugged that off. 

"They (Zenith) are taking care of me and my family. We are being treated well. We understand the assignment, and I'm focused on one thing: winning championships and enjoying life with my family."

Earlier in the season Thomasson and his team won a Cup championship, and with it came another title. 

He has racked up title after title on 5 of the 6 teams he has been with. Last year his Spanish team was one win away from the Champions League title. They would win a cup title as well.

Once the season is over Thomasson will be a hot commodity again, and the NBA will look enticing once again. No matter what, Thomasson is in complete control and has continued to level up and win titles, doing it in a way that most wouldn't be able to do. And as far as the NBA?

The NBA is still watching. Believe that.
