This is the Chamber’s only fund-raising event to benefit its scholarship program for deserving Revere High School students to further their education after graduation. Because of the golf outing’s success in past years, the Chamber has been able to donate over $63,000 in scholarship monies and help advance educational opportunities for our youth. Based on thank you letters received from past winners, these scholarships have made a positive difference in their lives.

4/12/2012 – West Side Leader
“We are going to score the most points in our history this year, and I believe we can win seven games this year with this team,” he said. “Now that we have a veteran group, we can start teaching more in-depth rugby skills that you cannot teach in three months.”
Last season, Revere finished with an overall mark of 2-7, but Bull said his team was playing at its best at the close of the season.
“We won two of our last three games, including beating league champion Strongsville,” he said. “It was one of our biggest wins ever.”
According to Bull, the experience from last season should pay dividends this season.
“For the first time, we have a lot of second-year players,” he said. “We have eight seniors, four juniors and nine sophomores — with 15 players with at least two years’ experience.”
By comparison, Bull said, there were only three seniors on last year’s team and there are eight seniors on this year’s team. The seniors on the 2012 team, with comments on each by Bull, are:
• Mohammad Almusaiteer: “He scored two tries in our first game and should be just great this year. [He is one of] our most aggressive players.”
• Dan Arnold: “He changed positions this year and could be one of the best jumpers in the league.”
• Jared August: “He is one of our hardest hitters on our team and in the league.”
• Mohamed Elsayed: “It’s almost impossible to bring Mo down when he starts running.”
• Gio Karim: “He is a four-year player. I am putting the most pressure on Gio. He should be one of our best players.”
• Taylor Kessler: “He is a first-year player who can run you over. He should be fun to watch.”
• Joey Lopez: “He is the fastest player on the team and he is tough as nails.”
• Austin Miller: “He is one of our toughest kids.”
Revere also has four juniors: Anthony Debs, Brian Luther, Alex Myers and Brett Higgins.
“Anthony, who is splitting time with AAU basketball, could be on his way to becoming a great rugby player,” Bull said. “Brian, a third-year player, is taking his play to the next level and will be one of our leaders next year. Alex, a second-year player, is turning out to be a great prop. And Brett, a first-year player, reminds me of one of the toughest player in Revere’s history, Tim Bihun. This kid loves to hit bigger kids.”
In addition, Bull said, Revere features “one of the best sophomore classes in the state of Ohio.”
The 10th-graders are led by Nathan August, who the coach said “can run and run over people.”
The team’s second-year sophomores are Brandon Barnett, Joe Lazuta, Zach Swift and Ian Russel.
“Brandon is starting to really get tough,” Bull said. “Joe is not afraid to take on anyone. Zach could be one of our smartest and toughest kids. And Ian is one of our most valuable players. He can play five positions as good as anybody on our team.”
And the sophomores who are making their debuts for Revere this season are Joe Merklin, Joe Murphy, Matt Prussak and Hector Riemer.
“Joe Merklin is not afraid to mix it up in the pack,” the coach said. “Joe Murphy is a player that will make that break-away tackle on anyone. Matt Prussak is our target hitter in the middle. And Hector Riemer is very tough on those bigger kids.”
Bull has led the team since its creation.
“I have been the head coach now into our fifth season,” he stated. “I have two assistant coaches — Abe Brunner for four years and Alyssa Boyle for two years — and player assistant Claudio Manera.”

The Revere All Sports Booster Club promotes the Revere system by supporting student athletes through fundraising and providing the essentials needed to give Revere a competitive edge.
The goal of the Revere All Sports Booster Club is to distribute materials to the different sports programs that are in need of technological advancements which enables them to compete at a higher level. David Holvey, the president of the Booster Club, has been involved in this club for five years and oversees the different departments of the Booster Club including memberships, fundraising and many others. Alex Burlotos, the vice president of the Booster Club, has been contributing his time and assistance to the organization for three years. Burlotos helps with the memberships of all the delegates, updating the website and sending out the Revere Booster Club email blasts. Michele Ruetty has been volunteering for the Revere Boosters for three years and is responsible for the registrations and takes part in organizing the reverse raffle fundraiser held every year. Dr. Art Benson has been a member of the Booster Club for six years and continues to try to make Revere a better place specifically with working through the finance committee.
Burlotos first got involved with the Boosters during the turf initiative and was then introduced to the Booster Club later. The club has made record success this year in regard to the increase in memberships and the technological advancements of a new website and mass email reminder system.
“This has been a banner year for us. Membership is up over 60% to 212 members. We have a new website that has been very helpful to communicate information to our community. We also have accumulated over 1500 Revere community email addresses that we use periodically to communicate current information to our members and the overall community,” Burlotos said.
The Revere All Sports Booster Club has raised money to aid the school by purchasing items that are not easy for the school to fund such as: volleyball spike machines, swim timers and wrestling mats.
The Revere All Sports Booster Club hosts many fundraisers and the money raised is donated back to the sports programs that need help. Burlotos stated the departments in which the money is donated.
“We purchase awards, uniforms, equipment, supplies and other items for the sports teams. We also fund two scholarships. We have also funded $50,000 for the new turf and stadium improvements,” Burlotos said.
There are many organizations and clubs that Revere offers. Ruetty explained why she thinks the Revere Booster Club is special.
“It directly supports the athletic programs that many of the students are involved in,” Ruetty said.
The volunteers behind this club are the ones who help balance and organize everything. Holvey described the different aspects and jobs of the volunteers and how the club is always looking for more participants.
“We have a whole range of different helpers that handle anything from selling items at the spirit shack to balancing our check books. There is always something someone can do. We always have a need so we can accommodate any volunteer. We are always looking for more help,” Holvey said.
The equipment and other resources are not the only things the Booster Club supports. Benson described what the school would be like without the help and generous donations of the Booster Club.
“[If we did not have the Booster Club], the facilities, the equipment and the available uniforms would not be as good. A lot of the sports programs have their own funds. It gives the overall athletic program a real and better feel. We have made improvements all the way around, so that the students can have an overall better experience on and off the field,” Benson said.
There are high hopes for the upcoming reverse raffle on March 16. The Revere All Sports Booster Club hopes to have even more individuals attend this year after the record breaking attendance from last year and collect even more resources to continue to support Revere athletics.

Revere senior Kristen Sawka slides home before St. Vincent-St. Mary catcher Erin Ferrell can apply the tag. The Minutemen swept a Saturday doubleheader from the Irish.
BATH TWP., Ohio – Fourth-year coach Lisa Simpson and the Revere Minutemen softball team believe this will be their breakout season.
And after a season-opening doubleheader sweep of visiting St. Vincent-St. Mary on Saturday afternoon, who’s going to argue?
“We’re able to take things to a different level,” said Simpson, following 7-0 and 7-4 victories over the Irish.
Last year, Revere’s pitching staff was decimated by injuries and the team struggled mightily at 8-14. With only one outstanding senior (Minnie Wright now at Hiram College) having graduated, the positive energy is palpable.
“I think we bond better now since we’ve been playing together for longer,” said junior pitcher Anna Demjanjuk, having fanned 11 in tossing a two-hit, first-game shutout.
Back from a leg injury, Demjanjuk is the team’s ace and she had all six pitches in her repertoire working effectively against the Irish.
“Everything was looking pretty good today – especially the rise and the curve,” she said.
Asked if she thought her team could contend in the Suburban League, Simpson replied: “I do. I honestly do, and I’m not just saying that. The Suburban League is tough and we were at the bottom of the pack last year. But, I think all of our cylinders are working this year and I think we have a shot at it.”
Junior shortstop Anna Warren laced five hits in the St. V-M doubleheader. In the opener, Revere broke through with four runs in the sixth inning. Senior center fielder Talor Krauth singled twice and scored a run. Sophomore right fielder Nicole Heckman singled, reached on a walk and scored two runs.
In the second game, the Minutemen snapped a 3-3 tie with three runs in the bottom of the third. Senior second baseman Kristen Sawka singled twice and scored a run. Sophomore third baseman Marissa Staats had a double, single and a run scored.
Freshman Demi Boyazis was the winning pitcher.
“We’re a work in progress,” first-year St. V-M coach Kortney Harmon said. “We got some hits. I liked the enthusiasm and we’ve kind of been lacking that lately. So, that was nice to see. We’re putting the pieces together.”
The Irish return just three starters from a year ago. Harmon is the former athletic director and softball coach at Conotton Valley and also coached at Tuscarawas Central Catholic.
“We’re slowly getting better,” she said. “I’m excited to see the rest of the season.”
Junior pitcher-first baseman Christen Hoffman reached base four times (two hits) in the second game and scored three runs for St. V-M.
Second baseman Gianna Hammer singled twice and scored a run.

AKRON, Ohio – For Walsh Jesuit, it was simply a case of too much Daniel Bogen.
The Canfield sophomore won four events – the 200-yard freestyle, 100 freestyle, 200 free relay and the 400 free relay – as the Cardinals edged the Warriors 395.0-377.5 for the Akron Division II Boys Sectional Swimming title on Friday night at the University of Akron’s Ocasek Natatorium.
It was apparent from the outset that it was going to be a two-horse race, especially when Bogen (1:47.76) nipped Walsh ace Ben Boshkos (1:48.59) in the 200 freestyle.
Revere finished a distant third with 179.0 points.
In the meantime, this Sectional delivered everything a postseason swim meet should provide, from season best times to heart-pounding excitement for athletes and spectators alike.
“It’s a great pool, too,” Crestwood freshman Danny O’Sickey said. “I’m excited to be here.”
O’Sickey said he had competed before at Ocasek Natatorium as a member of the Lake Erie Silver Dolphins club team.
“There’s a lot of energy because if you want to go to districts you want to get your best time,” he said.
Walsh Jesuit freshman backstroker Joey Reilman felt good after his first race – the 200 medley relay.
“It’s good to get the jitters out,” Reilman said with a smile. “I’m swimming my first high school postseason event and I was little nervous.”
The Warriors won the medley relay in 1:43.14.
Alex Ormond is the meet director for the Division II sectionals run at Ocasek and he did not have to look far for volunteers to help time and record at the blocks.
Ormond’s daughter, Renee, swims for CVCA and she and the other five members of the Royals’ girls team offered to help before competing on Saturday night.
“It’s really fun,” she said. “It gets me excited, but it also gets me nervous”
Coaches implored their athletes to stay on top of the schedule: Don’t miss your race.
Hubbard senior Jacob Castner, a first-year competitive swimmer, had a solution for that worry. He wrote all of his heat information in permanent magic marker on his hand.
“It’ll wash off in a few days,” he said.
No cheering section was any more raucous than a painted band of 21 girls from Canton Central Catholic. In each heat, whenever a Crusader swimmer approached the wall in contention, the noise level in the building would increase.
Archbishop Hoban coach Amy Hovan gave senior Sam Stitzel a big hug after the Knights had placed fifth in the medley relay (1:51.53).
Stitzel’s freestyle split was 24.72 – almost a second faster than he had ever posted.
“It’s a good way to end your senior year,” Stitzel said.
In winning his 200 freestyle heat, CVCA junior Christian Hanz logged a personal best time of 1:53.97, more than three seconds faster than he had ever gone.
Joe Boniface of Youngstown Cardinal Mooney set a meet record in the 50 freestyle (21.57) and his accomplishment came over the loud speaker moments after it appeared on the results board.
CVCA senior Graham Burnell had no intention of posting his best times at the sectional, yet he still managed to win the 200 IM (2:02.58).
“I’m not really tapered yet,” Burnell said. “Hopefully for districts, I’ll taper to qualify for states.” Burnell wasn’t ready to commit to a complete shave, but did say he will don a “faster suit” and a swim cap for districts.
Qualifiers out of the Akron Division II Sectional will advance next week to Cleveland State for the district meet.
