Roger Bacon's strides of March took care of that. After the Spartans' joyride to State Tltlesvllle, the selection quickly came down to one. Bacon's Greg Schlldmeyer. The 6-foot-3 forward's solid, mistake-free, fundamental game played a large role In Bacon's Class AAA state championship.

Meanwhile, Bacon's Bob Callahan and Anderson's Dick Sander are dual recipients of this year's Coach of the Year honor. Rounding out the first team are forward Tim Ferguson and guard Joe Datln of Anderson, center Walt McBrlde of Summit Country Day and guard Keith Miller of Oak Hills. SCHILDMEYER.WHO averaged 16.2 points a game during the regular season, was named the state tournament's most valuable player after scoring 36 points In the two games. But point production was Just one of his contributions. In the regional final against Moeller, his defensive efforts took sophomore sensation Byron Lar-kln out of the game.

Against Lima Senior In the state semifinal, he drew five fouls with baseline drives. "This just caps off everything," he said. "Being chosen the top player In the city Is a real honor.

DICK SANDER Co-Coach of the Year 20-3 record this year. "A coach's biggest challenge Is to mold a group of Individuals into a team," Callahan said. "Our kids knew if they didn't do that, they wouldn't win." "I think it was my most satisfying year as a coach," Sander said.

"As a coach, you always have the desire to do nifty things with your players out on the court. This was such a smart team that we could put in some intricate things and' they'd understand what we were trying to do." It didn't hurt that Sander had two of the five best players in the city. Ferguson, a pinpoint outside shooter, finished fifth In the city in scoring. Datln, an aggressive, hustling guard, spent much of his time diving for loose balls and playing arm-waving, in-your-face defense. Summit Country Day's McBrlde, an imposing offensive and defensive force who will play for Xavier University this fall, hit on 64 of his shots this season.

Miller, who edged out Lockland's Vlnce Richards for a first-team guard spot, averaged 20.7 points per game. girls' basketball Clean Sweep By Oak Hills For Honors BY MICHAEL PAOLERCIO Sports Reporter With its sights set a little bit differently than In the past, the Oak Hills girls' basketball team reached the pinnacle it had set out to do at the beginning of the year. And two of the vital components to Oak Hills' success landed the city's top two post-season awards: Dick Ballard The Enquirer Coach of the Year, star player Julie Duerring Player of the Year. "This year was spent mostly blending personalities," said Ballard, who guided the team to a 21-5 record and an AAA state semifinal berth. "We did not peak too early this year," Ballard, whose clubs have had identical 23-2 records the past two seasons, said.

"We were going for the state tournament from the very start. We were not fired up for the season at all, but when the tournament started we were totally changed." All Highlander losses this season came during a stretch when they played 11 of 12 games on the road. "We played a tough schedule. We took our lumps during the season to get ready for the state tournament," Ballard said. "I think the turning point came when we beat Colerain in overtime in the last game of the season.

We were gearing the whole season for the tournament and we had Colerain In the first game. I felt if we had lost that first game of the season, it would have really hurt us. "I feel that game propelled us Into the tournament," he continued. "There were a lot of games when we rolled over people, but that did not pull us together until we won the close one." The Lady Highlanders under Ballard won their third consecutive Hamilton County American League title and ran their HCAL record to 41-0 over that same stretch. "This was our worst year by far as far as record goes," Ballard said, "but I think we paid our dues and learned a lot more this year." DUERRING, MEANWHILE, heads a powerful first squad that includes a pair of guards from the Class AA state runner-up Reading Blue Devils in Jenny Gilligan and Shelly Klare.

The 5-foot-8 Oak Hills' Junior averaged 22.9 points per game, connected on 54.3 from the field, was a 77 free throw shooter, nabbed 11.2 rebounds and dealt out 6.2 assists. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Duerring Is presently recuperating from surgery on her right knee and is anxious to get back to honing her game. "I'll be able to begin working out on it in June or July, but it seems like it's taking forever," said Duerring, who longs for the court again. "People ask me to go out to a movie and I say, 'No, I'd rather play I just love doing it. "Making the state tournament made It a pretty good season, but we could have done better," Duerring said.

"I was very disappointed wrestnns Dual Meet Turning Point JULIE DUERRING Player of the Year DICK BALLARD Coach of the Year about the game. I think we would have had a better chance without me or Robin (Moore) on the bench." Running The Enquirer "dream team" are Gilligan and Klare. Gilligan, who has signed with Western Michigan University, averaged 21.6 points, shot 59.3 from the field and led the city with an 8.1 assist average. Klare, a junior, scored 19.5 points, hit 55.9 from the field and had 5.3 assists. Bernlce Llnner dominated the city's statistics and landed the first-team center position.

The 6-1 senior, who has narrowed her college selections to Ohio State, Pitt and Morehead State, led the city In scoring (25.7), field goal percentage (65.3), rebounding (23.4), free throw shooting (82.7) and averaged 4.9 assists.

BY MICHAEL PAOLERCIO Sports Reporter The same dual meet near the end of the season proved to be turning points for both this year's Enquir-er Wrestler and Coach of the Year. Both enjoyed victories, but neither is with the same club. Scott Hlnkle, Fairfield's 105-pound Junior who won the Class AAA state title, has been selected the city's wrestler of the year, while Oak Hills' Dick Roche has been chosen coach of the year.

In the dual meet against Fairfield, Hlnkle defeated Oak Hills' Bill VonAllmen. Coupled with a victory earlier in the season against Lakota's Ien Farber, Hlnkle realized "It really helped my confidence." Von Allmen and Farber both placed In the 1981 state meet. Throughout the season, Hlnkle and VonAllmen waged a rugged battle with the pair meeting for a dramatic sectional championship match in which VonAllmen won on referee's criteria. Hlnkle had hoped to meet the Highlander again in the district and state, but VonAllmen failed to advance. THE YEAR, however.

was a dream come true for Hlnkle, who boys' swimming In Defeat, St. Coach Still Winner a few years and feel proud. I thought something like this could come about, but only If the team did real well. I knew my offensive stats wouldn't be up there with the big scorers." THE STATS were easier to Interpret for the two Coaches of moved in at the beginning of the school year from Talawanda. "This year, I had more confidence.

The system Is good. The coach worked us hard. Coach (Ron) Masanek is the best coach in Ohio," Hlnkle said. "I had dreams and goals, but that was all it was. I thought maybe I'd get a state placement.

The finals match will be the one I remember." Roche, meanwhile, collects his third coach of the year honor, winning it both in 1976 and 1977. This year's Highlanders started out strong, finished highest among local teams with a second In the UC Invitational, finished second in the final city poll, won their 14th straight HCAL title, won the Oxford sectional over city poll champ Fairfield, placed second in the district and took five wrestlers to state-the most by any local team. "We had two peaks as far as the overall season," Roche said. "We started the season strong, got on a roll at UC, then hit a lull. We went Into the Fairfield dual meet and nobody had beaten them all year.

"They beat us last year at our place, so we owed them one. We had our backs against the wall. We MOOK RHODENBAUGH Swimmer of the Year trends. We were all pulling together," he said. "As a coach, you have to capitalize on the individual talents while at the same time keeping in mind the team's common goal." For the Aquabombers, that was to go to state.

Rhodenbaugh's successes this season are obvious. He set national and state records in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:48.97 and In the 100-yard backstroke with a 49.76. Although setting those records took tremendous energy, Rhodenbaugh couldn't stop. He competed In the regionals with the Cincinnati Marlins last weekend and will swim In the nationals In Florida this weekend. "It's hard to describe the feeling of setting a national record," Rhodenbaugh explained.

"I Just hope the records stay around longer than my record last year did.

But, as a team, Oak Hills was the dark horse going into the state high school swimming championship. Win the state? Nan.

Lo and behold, Oak Hills moved from 15th place last year to tie for first In the state with North Canton Glen Oaks this year. And, In honor of its accomplishments throughout the year, Rhodenbaugh landed The Enquirer high school girls Swimmer of the Year award and her coach, Beth Richmond, earned the Coach of the Year award. Rhodenbaugh set a state and national record in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:02.5 and finished first in the state in the 200-yard individual medley. The happiness expressed on her face after the state meet could not be put Into words. "I did it for the team because we really wanted to win state.

And I did it for my well-being," she said. Then, after the meet and a brief break, she was up and at it again, swimming with the Cincinnati Pepsi Marlins In regional and, this weekend, in national competition. HER UNENDING enthusiasm yl 1 BY JILL FELDON Sports Contributor When the state high school swimming championship meet ended several weeks ago, varying emotions consumed at least two Cin-clnnatlans. One was elated; the other disappointed. Now, as they look back over the season, both realize Just what they accomplished.

They gave their all for their teams and for themselves. In return, both gained some things that will stay with them a long time. Because he broke two national records and two state records at the state championship, Mook Rhodenbaugh of Oak Hills has been selected The Enquirer boys Swimmer of the Year for the second year. And because of his perseverance and faith in his swimmers, St. Xavier's Tim Blood is The of the Year.

Blood was a downcast figure after the state meet. His Aqua-bombers had lost to Akron Firestone, ending a 12-year reign. "But I realized that I didn't really lose and the kids didn't lose. We all came out real winners from our experience this year," Blood said. The Aquabombers progressed from being considered a long shot as a state competltor-since most of last year's star swimmers had graduated-to finishing second In the Blood's strategy was to emphasize team effort.

"I CHANGED all the previous KIM RHODENBAUGH Swimmer of the Year for swimming doesn't stop there. Rhodenbaugh said she can't wait until the swimming season starts all over again next year. "Well, when we went to state, I didn't think the team would win. I was really excited about that. Next year we'll be even better," she bubbled.

"Kim's sure to be a top contender in the 1984 Olympics," said Oak Hills boys coach Yoshl Oyakawa, an Olympic gold medal winner himself. "She's close to making the Olympic team now." Richmond agreed that Rhodenbaugh will go a long way. "Without a doubt, Kim was the key to our win. She's a nationally-ranked swimmer. "It was the best season I'd ever had, not only be- cause of how It turned out, but also because of the great group of girls I worked with." The next few years at Oak Hills look particularly bright to her.

"We have seven strong sophomores. During the next two years, we're going to be tough," she said..
