Followin¥ the awards ceremony,

Arena in March, 1998. b,ulthe state
wrestling tournament m1gh1 be
moved from Wright Sta~University
in Dayton.
·
Referring to the boys tournament,
Muscaro said,"'we are really excited
because these young people' have
reached the mountain .". He continued , "my goal is to rid Columbus of
the ticket scalpers that prey on our
basketbal_l fans during tournament
time, and perhaps we can move to the
new Schonenstein Aref\ll for the
1999 tournament ." The commissioner feels the additional 6,000 seats in
the new arena now under con~truc­
tton would achieve his goal.
''Outgrown facilities''
Muscaro also said ··we have nev-

er had a complete sell-out for a girls
tournament game at St. John Arena
like we have on a number of occasions for the boys." He added, "we
have outgrown the facilities at Wright
State University for ~llr wresting
now looking
tournament and we

at Gund Arena in Cleveland and our
own new arena." He noted thai the
1998 wrestling tournament will be
held at Wright State. St. John Arena
cannot handle eight mats for
wrestling according to the commissioner.
Muscaro revealed that the OHSSA
has ofllc1ally adopted a Rawhng s
baseball for use in 1997-1999 with an
option year in 2000.
In his remarks about official basketballs used in Oh1o, Muscaro noteo for years different brands of bail s
have been used on a rotation basis.
He sa1d that the Ohio high school basketball coac he s have been
requested to submit four brands of
balls they would be willing to ·use.
and the cmpmissioners' off1ce will
select just one as the official Ohio
high school basketball.

l.l&gt;uisville star DeJuan Wheat,
playing with a sprained ankle. he·
injured in Friday's game agwnst
Texas,· scored only six points on 2for-11 shooting.
"I just wanted to play," Wheat ·

wanted to be out on the court."
Alex Sanders scored 20 potn!S for
Louisville, which lo~t for the first
time in seven regional finals underDenny Crum.
"Even without DeJuan at full
strength, we didn't play bad," Crum
said. "They just played very well."
Arizona. which finished fifth in
the Pac-10, squandered a tO-point
deficit in the final 3 1/2 minute~ of
regulation before re~unding to beat
Providence. M1les S1mon scored 30
points for the WildcatS, who knocked
off top-ranked Kansas i.n the previous round.
"This is the most tired I've ever
been. after a game," Simon said.
"Prov1dence caused a lot of that by
pushing and pushing towards the
end. But we knew (he last five mmu~ had to be: ours."

"This was a great feeling to cut
down those nets after the way we
started the ACC season," forward
Antawn Jamison said. "We carne
together as a team and put all, our differences as1de. It shows how hard we

off."

big lead to defeat No. I0 Providence
96-92 in overtime at the Soulheast

to the national semis in 1980.
"Certainly, this was not expected," said Olson, who has no seniors
in his playing rotation. "Everybody
kept. saying, 'Next year, they're
going to he pretty good.' Well, next
year got ~ere a little early."

By JIM FREEMAN
Sentinel NeWs Staff
At least one Meigs Countian will
likely play a big role in selecting
another school funding system now
that the Ohio Supreme Court has
found the current system unconstitutional.
From Columbus, Jennifer Sheets,
a Pomeroy auorney and president of
Stale Board of Education, told 'The
.. Daily Sentinel that the Supreme
Court clearly ordered the state legislature 'to stan from scratch on a new
school funding system.
The .existing school funding system dates back to 1825 when the leg islature first required [lropeny. owners to pay school taxes . The problem,
according to the plaintiffs in a lawsuit
against the state, is that the degree of

property-wealth disparity among
Ohio's school districts is among the
widest ·in the nation.
The state Supreme Court agreed,
finding that Ohio's entire system. of

school finance is unconstiiulional
based on the "thorough and efficient
clause" in the state constitution which
makes the legislature responsible for
funding a thorough and efficient systern of public schools. Sheets
explained.
"I thin~ its a good decision. ..
Sheets said. "I think all Ohio citizens
. want their childre.n to go to good
clean schools ... it's very important."
The Supreme Court : .
·
Declared . unconstitutional
Ohio's systcfll of financing elementary and secondary public schools;
-- Eliminated the operation of the
school foundation program, the filnding system's reliance on local property taxcJ&gt;, the use of the spending
reserve and eincrgeney school loan
proEJ'arns;

-- Ruled the lack of sufficient state
money for construction and- maintenance of school buildings must be
