Track

We had a good day today at the track where we easily won our 4x100 event.  I was a little disappointed that we were about a half-second off of our school record that we set last year at 'States' but we are over a second faster than we were at the same time last year.  Our team is just beginning to gel and I am looking forward to setting a new school record and a new conference record in the coming weeks!  I promise that we are the hardest working bunch you ever did see.  Stay tuned! - Jerrid Marhefka

March Madness!

Well, March Madness is over.  Congratulations to all of the college teams that made it to the big show in the first place.  Congratulations to Kentucky for their win over Kansas.  I thought it was great that 4 Ohio schools were represented in the Sweet Sixteen.  The Ohio State Buckeyes, the Ohio University Bobcats, the University of Cincinnati Bearcats, and the Xavier Musketeers represented Ohio with one-fourth of the Sweet Sixteen contingent.  Congratulations to these Ohio Schools!

Additionally, I want to give one more shout out to my coaches and teammates from the  St. Clairsville Red Devils Boys Basketball team.  I've thought lately about our run to the Ohio State Tournament Final Four and how the quality of each individual player and coach made this run possible.  We were never the biggest team on the hardwood but we were almost always the best team on the floor when it counted most.  It is great to belong to one team with one dream!  Our athleticism, our speed, and our work ethic continued to help us win games; however, it was the unity of this team that led us to win championships and set school records.  I am happy to say that our entire team will be together again next year as we did all of this without the help of one senior.  I promise that this team will return stronger, faster, and more skilled than ever before!  Our quest will be to handle one game at a time and continue to develop our personal skills and our team skills in preparation for a Final Four appearance in Columbus during March of 2013.

If you want to see more basketball, I'll be playing in several tournaments this spring and summer.  Send me a note on twitter and I'll send you more information.  Twitter@jmar_80

I am headed to the gym now. - Jerrid Marhefka

Track and Basketball

Well you know how it goes!  I am still playing basketball (OYB).  We played a tournament in West Virginia last weekend - 1 game on Saturday and 3 on Sunday.  We won the tournament and I am proud of my teammates for great play.  I play this weekend in Hilliard for the 20th Annual OYB State Championship at Hilliard Davidson High School in Columbus.  Come check us out!

I have been at track practice daily since Tuesday.  We are looking strong again.  Check out our track schedule by clicking here: St. Clairsville Track and Field Event Schedule 2012

Stop by to say hi!  I'll see you on the track or on the hardwood! - Jerrid Marhefka

Track Season Begins

Track season is upon us.  We had a great football season, a wonderful basketball season, and we are on our way to a great track season.  I am looking forward to the high-jump and the 4x100 and 4x200 relays with my boys Michael Ferns, Alex Young, and Jaylon Brown!  Let's do this! - Jerrid Marhefka

More Basketball

Yesterday afternoon I played some tournament basketball in West Virginia.  Great group of players that I haven't got to practice with because of our State run.  We are playing more basketball today at the Linsly School in Wheeling, West Virginia.  Stop over if you can make it!  Thanks for your support. - Jerrid Marhefka

Tough Day at the Schott

What a great season it has been for St. Clairsville Basketball!  Thank to Coaches Clifford, Sacco, Gay for a great season and a great experience at the Ohio State University.  Thanks to all of my teammates, especially Dan Monteroso, Riley Carlton, Adam Jeffries, Joel Giffin, Jared Burghy, Dillon Campbell and the rest of my boys!  One Team, One Dream continues.  We have done a great job for such a young team.  When you consider our school size (216) and the fact that we have no seniors on our team, we have represented very well.

We've now been to the dance and we know what it takes.  It takes more than we had.  If you really, really want it, work hard in the off-season to get it during the 2012-2013 season.  One Team, One Dream continues!  See you on the hardwood!  - Jerrid Marhefka

The will to win a championship isn't enough in and of itself.  You must tap all of your skills, envision perfect execution, and envision the victory!  Make it happen!  One team, one dream.
