Top Coaching Candidates For Meadowdale

 Top Coaching Prospects For Meadowdale Lions Job; Who Will Take Over After Sudden Departure of Shepard? 

With The Meadowdale job becoming open after the resignation of Derrick Shepard, we look at some of the top candidates to possibly take the job. 

By Deon Cash

These are a list of some of the top candidates throughout the miami valley. 

This is our list of potential candidates and does not reflect who Dayton Public schools Athletics have decided to interview or hire. 

 Here are the Dayton Weekly TOP ASSISTANT COACHES IN THE MIAMI VALLEY: 

Conley Smoot - 10:1  Assistant Coach  (Springfield)

Smoot, is by far, the top candidate for any job in the Mimi Valley. His knowledge of the game, and the time he pours into the Wildcats program each week is unmatched. 

He has been the defensive leader of the Wildcats program that has been to the OHSAA D-1 title game two years in a row. He has arguably the best defensive player in Ohio coming back (Aaron Scott Jr) and has a plethora of drills that help elevate kids throughout the year. While he probably is not interested, he's the best assistant coach in the game right now. 

It seems to be only one mission for Smoot, which is to bring a State title back to Springfield.  

Dion Black  - 5:1  Assistant Coach (Miamisburg) 

Black was a longtime assistant at Miamisburg, as they enjoyed great success before heading to Trotwood, where he would win a OHSAA state title. He was at the Flyght Academy last season, as they reached the Title game in his only season as Head Coach. Black has now returned back to Miamisburg as an assistant coach. 

While its not as likely for him to leave Miamisburg, Black will be in the discussion. 

Doug Spears - 3:1 Assistant Coach (Meadowdale)

Spears, who has been a coach for over 15 years, was apart of the Earl White regime at Belmont where they ran up six City League Championships before following White to Meadowdale. 

Last season despite the offensive struggles, Spears led the Lions to one of the best defensive performances in the last three decades, picking up where he left off from the Belmont dynasty. 

 With a deep connection to the Lions Wee Program,  Spears has a developed a great repoire with the program and should have a inside track to the job.  

Lucious Dorise  5:1 Assistant Coach (Meadowdale) 

Dorise has been a staple in the high school coaching ranks. Dorise coached at Jefferson and Dunbar, and has specialized on defense while in the circuit. With over a decade in the game, Dorise brings great knowledge, a ability to relate well, and is one of the next coaches to watch for. 

Dorise is also one of the elite officials in the referee network in football as well. 

John Puckett - 10:1  Assistant Coach  (Centerville)

Puckett is now on the Centerville staff, but has experience as he coached Butler HS for a stint before heading back to Centerville. Puckett has been in the game for decades and has done well with Elks and the Butler Aviators in his tenures. 

A former star QB at Chaminade, Puckett brings a wealth of offensive expertise, and key development traits to a program.   

Darran Powell  5:1 - Assistant Coach (Flyght Academy) last season 

Powell, who had to take a 5-year hiatus in one of the most controversial situations in DPS history, was cleared on all charges of the point-shaving debacle years ago.

Powell has regained some real momentum after helping coach the Flyght Academy to a Championship game last season. Powell is a City League champion who has sent a bevy of kids to the next level, and have a couple more knocking on the NFLs door. 

Powell had built a powerhouse at Dunbar before things went south, but expect to see Powell back as a head coach on the sidelines real soon. There are reports he could be headed back to Dunbar as a assiatant coach, after being offered by Miamisburg.  

Sam Anderson - 8:1  Assistant Coach (Trotwood)

Anderson is one of the next group of coaches to grab a coaching spot. With a vast knowledge of the game, and his help with assisting the Rams to state championships, Anderson is on the verge of being a Head Coach. His son is currently a starting CB for the Cincinnati Bearcats. 

Anderson has all the tools to be a good head coach, and he will be in the mix in the upcoming years. He could fit with the Lions system, with Trotwood being in close proximity.  

Anthony Parker Jr - 12:1  Assistant Coach  (West Carrollton) 

Parker Jr, the son of head coach Anthony Parker, is currently an assistant for the Pirates and is a young head coach who is finding his way. While he works with the offensive and defensive line, look for Parker to become a coordinator soon. 

While Parker lacks the experience of the other coaches, he did play at Bowling Green,  and brings championship energy from his Trotwood days. He is intelligent and seems to be finding his niche in the coaching game. Look for his name to pop up for some opportunities in the upcoming years. 

Chris Wallace - 10:1  Assistant Coach (Springfield) 

While Smoot delivers on the defensive side, Wallace is the offensive guru who keeps the offense rolling for the Wildcats. Over the last decade, you can argue that there has been no better offense than Springfield, as they recently have put one guy into the NFL (Leonard Taylor) and a plethora of other elite offensive players over the years who are on the verge of a breakout season. 

Combine that with his ability to get elite play callers like Tae'Sean Smoot and Bryce Schondelmyer to elevate their games to D-1 levels, and Wallace is arguably the best offensive coach / coordinator in the game. 

Like Smoot, Wallace only concern seems to be getting that elusive State Championship to Springfield.

Dayton Dominates Cincinnati in D-2 Districts; Chaminade, Dunbar, Alter All Grab Wins at Cintas

OHSAA TOURNAMENT RECAP (BOYS BBALL)

 DAYTON DOMINATES CINCINNATI IN D-2 DISTRICT FINALS 

With the Cincinnati D-1 schools doing the most damage in the earlier games, it was time to see how the top D-2 teams would fare in the District Finals. There were three games, with the other Regional Semifinalist coming from the Columbus Area.

Here are the Results and Recap of D-2 District Finals

Game 1 

CHAMINADE DOMINATES WYOMING, CRUISES TO TITLE BEHIND DICKEY, WASHINGTON BROS

The Chaminade Julienne Eagles have been tested all season, and besides a couple of slip ups, they have been on point, rising to almost every occasion. 

Usually it's George Washington III (#1 in Dayton Weekly Rankings -GCL) who does the leading. 

But on this day, it was senior do-it-all guard in Evan Dickey (#5 ranked player -GCL) who put the Eagles on his back and guided them to back to back District titles.

Dickey scored 20 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, snatched a few steals, assists, and blocks and helped shut down the Wyoming guards as the Eagles cruised to a 65-35 victory to advance back to the Regionals.

George Washington III, the Michigan commit and finalist for Mr Basketball, dropped 13 in the win, while his younger brother, junior Forward B.B. Washington (#12 Ranked player - GCL) had 14 on the night.

While the Washington family has gotten the shine, Dickey continues to show why he is such a valuable guard. And with his size, is a legitimate D-1 or D-2 prospect, standing at 6'5 at the combo guard spot. 

Wyoming had no answer for Dickey or the Eagles for that matter.

"Evan has been a very reliable and consistent player for us the last two seasons. It's great to have a selfless guy on the team who cares about winning and doing the right things to help us win. Even if it does mean giving up stats for the  betterment of the team. 

He has been a class act, a real leader, and we really appreciate that." Eagles Coach Szabo stated earlier in the year. 

He also has a 4.2 GPA and is one of the top uncommitted guard prospects in Ohio. 

Chaminade will face Bishop Watterson in the Regional Semifinals at Vandaila HS.

Game 2

DUNBAR DEFEATS WOODWARD BEHIND ALLEN, STIFLING DEFENSE; 

TAE'S SPIRIT "INSPIRES" WOLVERINES 

The Dunbar Wolverines have faced adversity all season, and they seemed to be finding a calm during those times. It was evident as they held off a scrappy Woodward team in defeating the Bulldogs in their 2nd meeting at the Cintas Center. 

The game was back and forth until Dunbar forged ahead as PG-SG Antuane Allen, the #2 player in the Dayton Weekly Hoop Rankings (DPS), went off in the 1st half to give the Wolverines a double-digit advantage in the 2nd quarter. 

Allen scored 14 points of his game high 28 points in the 1st half on a barrage of drives, including a thunderous slam midway through the 2nd quarter.  

Woodward would battle back, cutting it to single digits, even getting it as low as 6 in the 4th quarter. The offense, which shot poorly in the 1st half, had picked it up and with the home crowd pushing, there was a momentum shift. 

However, combo forward Antoine Allen (Ranked #7 - Dayton Weekly Rankings) who was in foul trouble most of the game game, would come back in the 2nd half and provide double figure points, crucial passing, and the interior presence to help alleviate the heavy pressure Woodward was putting on.

After the game Coach Tony Dixon and the Allen Twins would talk.

"We played well today, and we have to take care of the ball and continue to make good decisions if we want to move forward. We also have a real reason to play for." Dixon said.

Antuane Allen, the star guard spoke as well.

"We are playing for Tae. His spirit lives on. We know we gotta ball when we get on the court. That's what he would have wanted."  

Allen is speaking on teammate Daveontae Williams, who passed away earlier this season.

Dunbar last won the District in 2017 when they would defeat a Luke Kennard - led Franklin team to reach the OHSAA State Semifinals. They were led by A.J. Harris, Dorianne Dawson, Chris Johnson, and  Terrance Landers, and was coached by Peter Pullen who is now at Trotwood. 

Dunbar will now have a rematch with Alter on Thursday night at Vandaila HS for a chance at a Regional Final.

Game 3

ALTER KNOCKS OFF D-3 CHAMPS WITH LATE COMEBACK; RUFFALO DELIVERS IN CLUTCH

The Alter Knights reached the OHSAA D-2 Semifinals last season, riding the senior leadership and clutch play to reach the Final Four. They would be bounced out by eventual D-2 champion St Vincent St Marys in the semifinals.

Taft won the D-3 title last season. 

So once Taft was moved up to D-2, the question remained: how far can the champs go after losing the likes of Raveon Griffith and Mehki Elmore?

Well, for the final 7 minutes of the final quarter it looked as if the State champs were headed to the Regionals. 

And then in a span of a minute or so, the Knights had pulled the improbable. A comeback win of historic proportions. 

Taft had held a 5-point lead with a minute left, after it looked as if the Senators size, intensity, and depth had wore down the Knights.

But after a big three, the game was cut to 2, and this is where it got crazy.

Taft would go down and get fouled, but miss the 1 and 1. Alter would then come down, miss a 3-pointer, but star guard Anthony Ruffalo would snatch a rebound and get fouled, tying the game and setting up the final moment.

Ruffalo would sink the and-one opportunity, with just 4 seconds left, and after a missed shot at the buzzer Alter would rejoice in a unbelievable win that showed the heart of the State Semifinalist. 

"We never gave up and believed we could get it done." Ruffalo, the #3 ranked player in the Dayton Weekly Rankings (GCL) stated. 

"We kept fighting and knew we could do it." 

Now the Knights will face Dunbar in a rematch of a big time game earlier this season. Dunbar won that game in the Richard Kidd Invitational hosted at Centerville HS.

Dayton vs Cincinnati Districts (D-1 Boys) Recap; Centerville Rolls; Fairmont, Wayne, Moeller Fall

D-1 District Recap: Centerville Rolls, Fairmont, Wayne, Moeller Fall 

 In the annual District matchups, the boys D-1 division battled the best of Cincy with a spot for a Regional berth in the balance.

Here's how the local teams fared against their Cincinnati counterparts.

Game 1 

Princeton Powers Past Moeller Behind Arnold, Williams

In the matchup between Cincy schools, Moeller was unable to stop Jaiden Arnold (20pts, 2 stls) and Dorian Williams (18pts, 6reb) as the Tigers rolled past the Crusaders 57-36. 

Princeton used a stifling 2nd quarter to break open a close game and push the halftime lead to 27-12, in which they never looked back.

Princeton will face Fairfield in the Regional Semifinals. 

Game 2

Centerville Grinds Out Big Win Behind Defense, Role Players; Wins 5th Straight District Title 

The Centerville Elks pushed to their 5th consecutive District Title after a impressive display of defense and teamwork as they dominated Anderson 63-39. 

Centerville gave up 11 points at half, and was led by Collin O'Connor, Kyle Kenney and Baboucarr Nije. 

"Collin, Kyle, Baboucarr and Dulguun played great today, doing all the things that we needed to help us win the game." Gabe Cupps, the Co-GWOC Player of the Year said.

"Its hard to stay in front of Collin, and once he gets going he's hard to stop." 

The Elks will face Elder in the Regional Semifinals. 

Cupps has committed to Indiana.

Game 3 

Elder Pulls Away Late, Downs Fairmont as Browne Shines 

Cincinnati Elder used its size, clutch shooting, and timely defense to knock off a feisty Farimont team and now will face the Centerville Elks in the next game. 

Behind the clutch play of  their big man Carson Browne Elder was able to control the tempo in the 2nd half, as it was a near dead heat at halftime. 

Fairmont was led by Jamison Roundtree and Brock Baker in the loss. 

Game 4 

Fairfield Knocks Out Wayne as Crim Explodes

The Fairfield basketball team felt like last year was a year for them to elevate, but Centerville knocked them out in the Regionals.

This year they have came back with a vengeance as they ousted the Wayne warriors in convincing fashion 76-51. Deshawn Crims led the scoring with 18 in the first half to set the tone.

Fairfield used random double teams to slow down Wayne's star player - and it did the job as Lawrent Rice was unable to get free in the first half behind a myriad of defenses. 

Our plan was to double Lawrent and take the ball our of his hands. Fairfield Head Coach Myrick said after the game.

"That kid is special, and we did a good job of getting the ball out of his hands and keeping defenders in his face. He still had 18 despite how we played him."  

#2 played great tonight for us. Our whole team played well. We will face Princeton for the 3rd time, so we will get ready for that challenge.

Fairmont couldn't get all league performer RB Drew Baker and the running game going. 

Springfield will face Centerville in the Regional Semifinals at Northmont HS.

Tippecanoe Rolls Past Trotwood

The Tippecanoe Red Devils jumped on Trotwood early and often, and left no doubt that the Miami Valley League still has a legitimate dog in the fight as Tipp won at home 43-14.  QB Liam Poronsky led the passing, connecting with WR Stanley Cline for a TD, while the running game was dominant as well with RB Xavier Jones scoring and providing the ground attack.  The state ranked Red Devils will face Western Brown in the Regional Semifinals.

Centerville will face Springfield in the Regional Semifinals. 

Piqua Falls to Edgewood 

Piqua would score the first two TD's (on Ky Warner runs) to hold a 14-0 lead in the 2nd quarter. From then on, Edgewood would score a TD in the 2nd and 3rd quarter, and would end it in OT with a Tavion Crosby run, as he amassed 145 yards on 30 carries and 2 pivotal TD's to help Edgewood knock off Piqua for the 2nd consecutive season. Piqua would get the ball but could not score on its final possession, as Edgewood will now face Anderson at Little Miami.

Alter Loses Late to Taft 

Alter season came to an end with a 26-24 loss to Taft, as the Senators defense stopped Alter on a failed 2-point conversion to help seal the deal. Taft will face McNicholas in the Regional Semifinal at Princeton HS.

Mason Rallies To Upend Springboro

Springboro took a 26-14 lead into the 2nd half and Mason rallied with 2 TDs in the 4th quarter to upend the Panthers 29-26. Larson Brown would unload two big TD passes to turn a deficit into a big win. Brown would throw for 3 TD's on the night. 

Badin Dominates New Richmond

Hamilton Badin put up the first 41 points of the game en route to a big win 41-14 as Star QB Alex Ritzie was 11-11 for 170 and 3 TD's in the rout for the #1 seed. Badin will face Wapakoneta at Trotwood HS.

Valley View Stays Alive With Powerful Performance

The Valley View Spartans move to the Regionals after a thrilling 42-16 win over Blanchester as Caden Henson threw for 3 TDs and the running game amassed over 225 yards in the big win. They would also harrass the QB for Blanchester into a rough passing night (1-11). Valley View will face Maderia at Fairfield HS.

Star QB Tim Carpenter threw for 2 TD's in 14-19 passing with 201 yards, and he also ran for 113 more with a TD as the Rams amassed almost 500 total yards in the back-and-forth affair. Rams RB Donavuan Gales ran for 2 TDs and Michael Smith and Quinton Johnson each caught a TD. 

Chaminade rolled up the numbers on the ground (465 yards) behind the likes of Josiah Payne (28 rush, 196 yards, 2 TDs), Nydrell Wright (7 rush, 106 yds), Donaven Cummings (9 rush, 69 yds, TD) and QB Ryan Peltier (13 rush, 60 yds, 2 TD). But to no avail. Trotwood would never give up the lead in a big win for coach Graham and the organization, as they capitalized on the Eagles turning the ball over twice and failing on two 4th down conversions which were crucial. Trotwood had 0 turnovers on the night. 

 XENIA STUNNED IN OT 

The Xenia Bucs saw their dream season come to an end as they lost to Little Miami 27-24 in double OT. With Ramon Browder out and Probable MVL Player of the Year Trei'Shaun Sanders getting hurt during the game, it changed the outcome of what should have been a solid win for the Bucs. However, Little Miami was able to get the passing game going, and despite being stuffed in the running game, Grant Maupin rushed for 2 TD's and threw for another and Little Miami made a game sealing FG to shock the #4 ranked team in the final D-2 OHSAA poll. 
"I'm hurt for our fans but it was a great season for us. This will sting for a while but hopefully we can regroup and bounce back next season. I'm proud of the team and we fought to the end, despite the cirumstances." Xenia Coach Maurice Harden said after the heartbreaking loss.

Star Linebacker Jaivan Norman (and front runner for GWOC Defensive Player of the Year) would amass 11 total tackles and a Interception to lead the defense.

The Indians used their offensive attack (Brady Ouhl 12-17, 2 TD's) the rushing attack (Ky Warner, 124 yards, 2 TD's; Sam Schmiesing 2 TD rushes) and the special teams (Dre'Sean Roberts, 54 yard punt return) to shut down any thoughts of a Stebbins upset.
