Josh McCown was signed primarily to serve as a mentor to Johnny Manziel, Connor Shaw and any other young quarterback the Browns might bring in.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns have likely made hometown favorite Brian Hoyer expendable with the signing of veteran quarterback Josh McCown.

The Browns agreed to terms with McCown, 35, on a three-year deal Friday after a bidding war between the Browns and Bills, now coached by Rex Ryan. Ryan was Browns coach Mike Pettine's old Jets boss.

McCown's signing makes it unlikely the Browns will re-sign Hoyer, who's gone 10-6 for them over the past two years, including 7-6 this season.

Hoyer is set to become a free agent on March 10, and never had the face-to-face meeting he expected to have with general manager Ray Farmer. His agent, Joe Linta, also didn't meet with the Browns at the NFL combine. However, Pettine and Farmer both called Hoyer on Friday to inform him of the move.  

The difference between McCown and Hoyer is Hoyer has made it clear he wants to start, and that he's established himself as a winning quarterback over the past two seasons. McCown, on the other hand, is more than willing to serve as a mentor to young quarterbacks such as Johnny Manziel and Connor Shaw.

When Manziel gets out of rehab, he'll need all the help and support he can get, and McCown will excel in that role, a source told the Northeast Ohio Media Group.

"I just want to serve our team and help everybody in that locker room, do my best to help everybody in the locker room be better at their job and they're going to help me, too. It's a two-way street," McCown said in a news release. "I'm just excited about coming in and being a part of a team.

"Year 1 was a solid first year for coach Pettine, and to see the vision with what he's got going on is exciting to me. In my room, I want to be able to help those young guys and pass along my knowledge and experiences I've had and help them grow. (I'm) going to compete at the best level I can to help our team get better."

McCown, who plans to compete for the starting job as well as mentor the young QBs, said the Browns' offensive line, which features eight-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas, two-time Pro Bowler Alex Mack and rising star Joel Bitonio, was a determining factor.

"As a quarterback, it starts off with the offensive line,'' he said. "You look at the guys they have there, namely, Joe Thomas and Alex Mack, it's a rare opportunity. Between meeting with the coaches and having a good connection with Coach Pettine and the offensive coaches, and those pieces on offense, that's kind of what drove the ship for me."

McCown noted the Browns have the components all quarterbacks love.

"We're going to be good at running the football and playing defense and being smart with the football at quarterback," McCown said. "Those are the things I know are going to be stressed. Those are the things I'm going to be focused on as we compete.''

McCown has close ties to new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, who coached him in 2007 in Oakland when he was quarterbacks coach. McCown went 2-7 as a starter that year, with nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions. But the two hit it off and look forward to working together again.

"Josh is a high-character, savvy, veteran quarterback that has a lot to offer to our team," Pettine said in the release. "When you hear from people that have been around Josh, they speak of the leadership qualities and the positive impact he has on a locker room. I really enjoyed spending time with him during his visit. He has great passion for playing the quarterback position and wants to show that he can still be successful in this league.

"Obviously, he is a quarterback that has been in a number of systems and he has worked with (DeFilippo) so there is some good familiarity between the two. We are excited to have him become part of our team and we look forward to him playing an important role in our offense."

McCown's signing won't prevent the Browns from landing another potential starting quarterback in free agency or drafting one of the top-rated rookies such as Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota. They have the No. 12 and No. 19 picks overall and have said everything is on the table, including trying to trade up to land one of the top prospects.

Pettine has also made it clear they're heading into free agency and the draft looking for a starter and not counting on Manziel, who's currently in rehab.
Now, they have a quarterback with starting experience on the roster in the event Manziel can't cut it or they don't land a top rookie.

"Josh is your consummate professional," Farmer said in a release. "He's known to be a great guy in the locker room and will be great for the quarterback room. He knows how to get an entire offense on the same page and get a team to rally behind him. He has been exposed to a lot of different types of offenses and we think still has the drive and skill set to be a successful quarterback in this league.

"We are excited to get him and believe he will help continue to move us in the right direction and help us build the type of team that will bring winning football to Cleveland."

In addition to serving the mentor role, McCown will be able to help DeFilippo implement the new offense and serve almost as another coach on the field and in the classroom. McCown is five years older and has started 49 more NFL games than new quarterbacks coach Kevin O'Connell, a former third-round pick of the Patriots who never started a game.

McCown, who will be 36 in July, is the older brother of quarterback Luke McCown, the fourth-round pick of the Browns out of Louisiana Tech in 2004 who went 0-4 here as a rookie.

McCown, who spent Tuesday and Wednesday visiting the Browns in Cleveland, also talked to the Bears and Jets after getting released by the Bucs Feb. 11 with a year remaining on his two-year, $10 million deal.

He went 1-10 in Tampa Bay last season, throwing 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. McCown, who was replaced during the season by Mike Glennon but then reclaimed the starting job, earned a 70.5 rating, second-worst in the NFL to Jacksonville rookie Blake Bortles.

But he showed he had plenty left in the tank in 2013, when he threw 13 touchdowns and only one interception en route to a 3-2 mark for the Bears. During a three-game stretch late in the season, he threw for at least 348 yards a game and eight touchdowns overall. He finished with a 109.0 rating that season to earn the lucrative deal from the Bucs.

A third-round pick of the Cardinals out of Sam Houston State in 2002, McCown spent four seasons in Arizona and then bounced around to Detroit, Oakland, Carolina, Chicago and Tampa Bay. Overall, he's gone 17-32 with 61 touchdowns and 59 interceptions with a 76.1 career rating. He's started 10 games or more in only two of his 12 seasons, going 6-7 in Arizona in 2004 and 1-10 with the Bucs last year.

The Arizona desert is far from unfamiliar, but with new teammates and coaches, it's still a change of scenery, one he hopes gives his career a jolt.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Deborah Brewer had the most challenging job of all.

She had to chauffeur Charles and Chase to baseball practices. She had to drive Ashley to swim meets. She had to bring Connor to football games. She had to take Abby to volleyball matches.

All five of her children proceeded to earn Division I scholarships to play their respective sports at the collegiate level. Charles Brewer, the oldest of the five children, advanced his career to the professional level when he signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2009. He's with the Indians during spring training this year.

The Brewer family hails from Scottsdale. Charles was selected in the 12th round by the team for which he grew up rooting.

"I always had that dream as a kid of playing for the Diamondbacks," Brewer said. "On that day, that dream became just a little more real. I was one step closer to playing for my hometown team."

Brewer is back in Arizona this spring, about 40 minutes from home. Things didn't work out with the Diamondbacks. He made his major-league debut with the club in 2013, when he pitched in four games in relief, but Brewer stalled out at Triple-A Reno, where he spent most of the 2012, '13 and '14 seasons.

The Arizona desert is far from unfamiliar, but with new teammates and coaches, it's still a change of scenery, one he hopes gives his career a jolt.

"It's kind of refreshing coming onto a new team and not knowing anyone but a couple of guys that I have a history with," Brewer said. "Right now, I'm getting comfortable. It's not hard here, because there are so many good dudes in this clubhouse."

Brewer posted an 8-10 record and 4.99 ERA in 22 starts at Reno last season. From 2009-11, as he worked his way up to Double A, Brewer posted an ERA better than 2.50 each year. The Indians acquired the right-hander from Arizona in November. Despite plenty of competition for the No. 5 spot in the rotation -- Danny Salazar, T.J. House, Josh Tomlin, Zach McAllister, Shaun Marcum and Bruce Chen are all involved -- and for one or two vacant spots in the bullpen -- C.C. Lee, Scott Downs, Anthony Swarzak, Jeff Manship, McAllister, Chen and Marcum are all in the running -- Brewer maintains a goal of escaping the dry heat for the icy shores of Lake Erie.

"I'm focused on winning a job," he said. "That's my goal coming into camp. I'm not 22, 23 anymore, a young prospect. I do expect to make the team out of camp, so that's what I'm working toward."

That kind of bravado is hardly surprising, given his family's athletic prowess. Chase followed in Charles' footsteps by playing baseball at UCLA. Ashley swam at USC. Connor plays quarterback at Arizona. Abby plays volleyball at USC.

Deborah swam at the University of Georgia. Robert, her husband, played Division II basketball.

"Those athletic genes are in there somewhere," Charles said.

Robert now operates a business and helps to manage his father's law firm. Deborah has a small jewelry business. The days of overseeing five kids' athletic schedules are mostly over.

"I have an insane amount of respect for her," Charles said. "Her job is insanely hard, taking care of all of us at the same time."

Manager Terry Francona weighs the pros and cons of starting three left-handed hitters at the top of the lineup.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Manager Terry Francona says he doesn't spend all winter writing down versions of what the Indians lineup will look like in 2015.

"I'm not a mad scientist," said Francona.

Now with spring training underway, and the Cactus League season starting Tuesday, the lineup becomes more important. While exhibition games lend themselves to experiments, the one thing that Francona wrestles with is batting lefties Michael Bourn, Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley at the top of the lineup.

"The decision is do you take those first three at-bats and say, 'Ok, we're putting ourselves in a really good position,'" said Francona. "But you also have to remember that every lefty the opposing manager wants to bring into the game, those three guys are going to see them.

"So you're not doing them any favors and you're making it easier for the opposing manager if you run three lefties in a row out there."

In Francona's six most frequently used lineups last year, he had a switch-hitter batting second so he wouldn't have three lefties at the top of the lineup. The switch-hitters were Asdrubal Cabrera, Nick Swisher and Jose Ramirez.

"It's great to have switch-hitters," said Francona. "The more you can use the platoon advantage, it probably helps."

Ramirez, Swisher and Carlos Santana are the Tribe's top switch-hitters this year. Ramirez, who moved into the No.2 spot last year after Cabrera was traded, is the most likely choice to bat there this year. Swisher is coming off double knee surgery and Santana is expected to hit cleanup.

Pitcher's pitch: Here are the pitchers scheduled to face the Reds on Tuesday and Wednesday in the first two games of the Cactus League season.

Tuesday: Zach McAllister will start followed by Charles Brewer, Mike Roth, Bryan Price, Nick Hagadone and Dustin Molleken.

Wednesday's pitchers: Josh Tomlin will start followed by T.J. House, CC Lee, Nick Maronde, Will Roberts and Jeff Manship.

Pitchers' practice: Tribe pitchers will start throwing batting practice to the hitters on Saturday. Francona calls it a "necessarily evil." Hitters call it something a lot worse.

"I'm fine if they don't swing," said Francona. "Some guys will swing, some guys will track. ... It's pitchers' practice."

Urshela update: Giovanny Urshela is in his first big-league camp. He arrived with the reputation of being the best defensive third baseman in the organization, but Francona has been watching his legs, not his glove.

In winter ball, Urshela strained the PCL in his left knee sliding into third base in Venezuela. Surgery wasn't needed, but he's spent the last three months rehabbing his knee in Goodyear.

"I've been watching his gait to make sure he's not favoring that leg," said Francona. "He told us he would let us know, but I also know he's a kid in his first big-league camp.

"His actions are really good. He has a way of slowing the game down defensively that good defenders can do. He goes down-to-up on the ball very well."

Urshela, always known for his defense, had a breakout season last year, hitting a combined .280 (136-for-485) with 36 doubles, 18 homers and 84 RBI at Class AA Akron and Class AAA Columbus.

Words of wisdom: Former manager Mike Hargrove is in camp working with players. He's spent the last couple of days talking with Santana. Hargrove was an excellent first baseman during his playing days.

"Grover has carte blanche to talk to whoever he wants whenever he wants," said Francona. "He's seen it all. I like having him around and I've known him for a long time.

"I also want him to feel comfortable to grab somebody whenever he wants. That's what he does and he has a good way of doing it."

Learning curve: Players have learning curves, so do first-year special assistants such as Travis Hafner.

"Travis has been great," said Francona. "He's been coming in every morning. He asked me, "What should I do?' I told him to go to the cage with Ty (Tye Van Burkleo) and Q (Matt Quatraro). It's kind of a free forum in there.

"You'll offer suggestions and one thing will lead to another and before you know it, you'll have a hitter in there."

The Indians hired Hafner, John McDonald and Charlie Nagy as special assistants right before the start of camp.

Now that the Cleveland Browns have signed a 35-year-old quarterback who won once in 11 starts a year ago, surely they have something else in mind and are not counting on a tandem of Josh McCown and Johnny Manziel, right?

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If Josh McCown is the answer, we may need to review the question.

Unless the one on everybody's mind was whether it's possible to go 1-10 and two months later be the subject of a bidding war. Bingo. McCown proved it could happen.

Then again, if it's the Bills and Browns doing the bidding, "war" isn't the right word.

Back to the other questions raised by the Browns' latest quarterback acquisition:

Is McCown an improvement over Brian Hoyer? Impossible to see how. Is this Plan A? Move along, nothing else to see here?

Not Sam Bradford coming in a trade? Not a leveraged move to get Hoyer at a cheaper price? Not a big move to the top of the April draft? Is this all there is? Better hope not.

Is McCown more attractive because he's willing to mentor young quarterbacks while Hoyer and whomever else -- Jake Locker, Mark Sanchez -- would want to start?

God help all Browns fans if that's the case.

The criteria for bringing any quarterback to Berea in 2015 can't possibly center around his willingness to step aside for younger talent. This move better not be about that. The only worse reason would be to say McCown looks good in Pantone 2028 C.

It's just not possible the Browns made this decision with Johnny Manziel in mind. I refuse to believe it given what they saw of him on the field and what he's dealing with personally.

A mentor would make some sense if the plan were to trade up for Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota. If that's not in the offing -- and it's so expensive that it shouldn't be -- why would mentoring factor in when the two players behind him are weak-armed, undrafted Connor Shaw and the rehabbing Manziel?

My take on Hoyer and the Browns is the feelings were mutual about his return in 2015. He had good reason to want some assurance he'd be given first crack at starting. Even more than he'd have the support of a front office that didn't believe in him last year even before his late-season tailspin.

He would have to do some serious discovery to make sure the Browns weren't ready to once again prop up Manziel, especially after hearing Ray Farmer and Jimmy Haslam each talk up Manziel as a future "solid" starter.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trotting out Hoyer as the long term answer either. Just saying given the talent pool on the free agent market -- McCown included -- that bringing him back until you found what you were looking for made sense given his relative success, and his already established relationships in the locker room and in the passing game.

The Browns clearly weren't in a rush to meet with Hoyer, who finished 7-6 a year ago and helped win 10 games over two seasons. Why? That's a question for them, not for him.

That's a question that wasn't answered before the Browns signed Josh McCown.

And it only screams louder for an answer now that they have.

 

The Browns can't count on Johnny Manziel to start, and Josh McCown is best suited for a backup.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- By signing Josh McCown, the Browns must be setting up another move.

The 35-year-old McCown is an excellent backup, and he knows that is his best role at this stage of his career. Hopefully, that's why the Browns signed him Friday.

Perhaps the reason the Browns declined to have any meaningful contract talks with Brian Hoyer is that Hoyer still sees himself as a starter. It wouldn't be a shock to see Hoyer begin talks with Buffalo, the other team bidding for McCown.

In a choice between the two quarterbacks, I favor Hoyer. But I also have to admit that McCown has a lot of respect around the NFL, witness how new Buffalo coach Rex Ryan also wanted him.

There is a temptation to say the Browns seem destined to open the season with McCown and Johnny Manziel as their top two quarterbacks. They also have Connor Shaw on the roster.

That sets up for Manziel to start.

I wonder about that assumption. Manziel is in a rehabilitation center for some type of substance problem. In his seven quarters on the field, he generally looked overmatched. Do you really hand the team over to Manziel, given all the troubles on the field -- and off?

I doubt it.

My sense is the Browns are still looking for a quarterback, be it in the draft or free agency. Or at least, that should be their approach.

During a recent conversation that I had with Jimmy Haslam on the day that General Manager Ray Farmer was given a vote of confidence, I sensed the Browns owner wants to find a quarterback that can make the team into a playoff contender.

The approach of the front office might be to look at several quarterbacks -- keep sorting through them until they find someone who can fit well with the team.

So they might draft a quarterback, although I doubt it will be in the first round.

Free agency opens on March 10. That's when Hoyer, Jake Locker, Mark Sanchez and others can sign. McCown was able to sign early because he was cut by Tampa Bay in a salary cap move.

McCown was 1-10 as a starter with Tampa Bay, which is expected to select Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston in the draft. The veteran's best season was a five-game stint as a starter in Chicago in 2013 when he threw 13 touchdown passes compared to one interception.

I'd be stunned if Hoyer signs with the Browns. But I expect more quarterback moves coming -- and it could be in the draft and free agency.

East Tech finishes the regular season with a 19-3 record.

AKRON, Ohio -- In a meeting of two champions, it was East Tech boys basketball that reigned supreme with a 70-58 road win over Ellet on Friday.

With 25 points, sophomore Markell Johnson paced East Tech (19-3), which is ranked No. 8 in the cleveland.com Top 25 poll, past No. 22 Ellet (18-4) in a meeting between the city champions from Cleveland and Akron.

Check back around 9:30 for a full game recap, including reaction, stats and video.

A 20-0 run in the first quarter gave East Tech the early cushion it needed. Fueled by 15 points in the first half by Johnson, the Scarabs hit the break with a 37-26 lead over Ellet.

Now it's playoff time for both teams. East Tech hosts a sectional semifinal on Wednesday against Shaw, while Ellet will host a sectional semifinal that night against Cuyahoga Falls.

President Obama in December announced plans to try and normalize relationships with Cuba, a hotbed of baseball talent.

"I can simply tell you that there were conversations and dialogue this off-season about the possibility of having spring training games in Cuba, but because everything was relatively new, because nobody was really sure what it meant, we weren't able to put those pieces in play this go-round," said Clark. "I will say to you that it is conceivable somewhere down the road that there may be a spring training game played in Cuba, but it is hard to tell at this point in time."

Clark was in Goodyear to conduct the MLBPA's annual spring training meeting with the Indians. Afterward he talked to reporters about several subjects.

On David Ortiz's criticism of the new pace of play rules: "As a hitter, I know any time somebody tinkers with my at-bat, I have a concern. It's my at-bat. I have four or five of them and every one of them counts."

Ortiz ripped the rule that says a batter must keep one foot in the batter's box at all times. The players association approved that rule.

"These changes that we've put in place are not in place to create havoc," said Clark. "They're put in place to see if the game can continue to move."

Clark emphasized that the rules can be "tweaked' if a problem develops. The rules will be tested in spring training games that begin this week and in April of the regular season.

On installation of clocks at the ballpark: At Goodyear Ballpark, where the Indians and Reds open the Cactus League season Tuesday, clocks have been installed on the center field wall and in front of the pressbox to keep track of time between half innings. These clocks will be used during the regular season as well.

For a locally televised game there will be 2:25 between each half inning. It will be 2:45 nationally televised game. When the clock winds down to 30 seconds, a pitcher must be done with his warmup pitches and the batter must be in the box from 20 to five seconds left.

"If we can try to sharpen (things) around the edges of the game, it may improve that back line to suggest something with a two in front of it instead of a three," said Clark, referring to a game that two plus hours instead of three plus hours.

On his relationship with new Commissioner Rob Manfred, which could be critical with the current working agreement expiring after the 2016 season:

"I've had a relationship with Rob now probably going back 14 years," said Clark, who succeeded the late Michael Weiner as executive director. "It's a respectful relationship, a working relationship. As close as I was to Michael and the relationship that Michael and Rob had allowed me the ability to build a relationship with Rob. So we have a very open line of communication and I am hopeful that that continues here going forward."

On how big an issue qualifying offers would be in the 2016 negotiations:

"Our history is littered with work stoppages that were tied to that exact issue," said Clark.

On the possibility of a worldwide draft:

"Here in the United States we have a process and protocol in place that allows players to develop and grow and be in school and be educated and make educated decisions at 18 or 21 or 22," said Clark. "To simply take a system that appears to work in one place and plop it down in another is a dangerous proposition. "

Kent State's backcourt defense wilts against the perimeter firepower from Buffalo for a second straight loss, 71-65.

KENT, Ohio -- On a night when Kent State needed its three senior guards to show their mettle, they were trumped by a younger trio from Buffalo, leading to a second straight setback for the Golden Flashes, 71-65, Saturday night in the M.A.C. Center.

Buffalo's Jarryn Skeete made four straight 3-pointers to start the game, and the Bulls rode that energy the rest of the way, finishing 8-of-18 on 3-pointers and 50-percent shooting for the night.

"He's fearless when he shoots,'' Buffalo head coach Bobby Hurley said. "We ran the first play for him to get a look for a three. We're getting good at the right time of the year."

This time last week the Flashes were tied for first in the Mid-American Conference race. But a road loss to Miami, followed by this one to the Bulls, has dropped KSU (19-10, 10-6) out of the mix for a critical Top 4 seed for the upcoming MAC Tournament. UB (19-9, 10-6) holds the tiebreaker advantage over KSU via a season sweep with two games left to play for both teams.

"We didn't get it done,'' Kent head coach Rob Senderoff said.

Buffalo freshman Lamonte Bearden, sophomore Shannon Evans and Skeete, a junior, were in the books with a combined 42 points with 7:49 to play, up by 10, while the Golden Flashes were sitting at 47 points as a team. That Buffalo trio finished with a combined 48 on the night.

Even as KSU had UB's potential MAC Player of the Year, center Justin Moss, limited to six points and two rebounds due to foul trouble, allowing Kent's Jimmy Hall to work on an 18-point 10-rebound game, the senior trio of Kris Brewer, Derek Jackson and Dev Manley struggled from start to finish.

The most critical of the three was Manley, a 41-percent 3-point shooter on the season, was 0-for-9 before finishing 2-11 (4-of-18) for a misleading 19 points. Jackson finished with 10 and Brewer 2. The three seniors were collectively 9-of-35 overall including 4-of-20 on 3-pointers.

"Dev's competing,'' Senderoff said. "I'll go down with Dev 100 out of 100 times."

Manley, however, pointed the finger at himself and his teammates, who entered the game with the best 3-point defense in the conference, but failed to deliver it against the Bulls.

"At the end of the day they were the tougher team,'' he said. "We wilted. We focus on not giving up threes, and the first thing they did was hit four. It's all on us."

Kent finishes the season Tuesday at Bowling Green before hosting rival Akron on Friday.

The Monsters have lost four in a row.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Center Brett Sutter scored at 15:21 of the third period as the Iowa Wild defeated the Lake Erie Monsters, 3-2, Saturday night in front of 10,498 at The Q.

The Monsters (24-22-5-3) have lost four straight -- at all home. They entered the night 12th of 15 teams in the Western Conference, five points out of the eighth and final playoff spot.

The Wild (20-37-1-1) are in last place in the Western Conference, but they played like a first-place club against the Monsters this season. They went 4-0-0-0 in the series; Lake Erie, 0-2-2-0.

Iowa goalie John Curry made 34 saves. He entered with overall numbers of 9-15-0,  2.87 goals-against average and .911 save percentage, but he was 3-0-0 with a 1.59 GAA and .945 save percentage against Lake Erie. Last season, Curry went 2-0-0 with a 0.48 GAA and .987 save percentage against Lake Erie.

The Monsters have managed just 18 goals in their past 10 games (3-6-1-0).

Iowa out-shot Lake Erie, 10-9, in a scoreless first period. Curry and Monsters goalie Calvin Pickard kept rebounds to a minimum.

At the conclusion of the first, Monsters enforcer Dan Maggio tangled with Iowa forward Ian Schultz. Both received five minutes for fighting, but the officials tagged Maggio with a roughing minor, which put the Wild on the power play to begin the second.

Iowa capitalized on the man-advantage and fresh ice sheet when, at 56 seconds of the second, defenseman Collin Bowman's shot from the blue line beat Pickard (28 saves) for his first. The goal was unassisted.

The Monsters answered at 5:24. During a scramble in front of Curry, center Joey Hishon located the loose puck at the edge of the goal crease and poked it in for his 14th.

Five-plus minutes later, Iowa regained the lead. Forward Tyler Graovac, Iowa's leading scorer, scored from his knees for his 18th.

The Monsters tied the score, 2-2, early in the third period. Defenseman Stefan Elliott redirected at 3:15 for his 13th. Andrew Agozzino earned one of the assists; he became Lake Erie's all-time leader with 132 points.

Sutter used a wrister from the slot to beat Pickard high glove for his ninth.

Notable: Lake Erie center Mike Sgarbossa, who had been injured, played his first game since Jan. 31. ... Monsters defenseman Karl Stollery was recalled by the Colorado Avalanche earlier in the day.

Hudson boys take third in the 2015 OHSAA state swimming competition as Ross Palazzo captures gold and breaks a 10-year record.

CANTON, Ohio -- Hudson senior swimmer Ross Palazzo broke a 10-year state record in the 100-yard breaststroke and the Explorers boys team finished third overall in the team standings Saturday during the Ohio High School Athletic Association 2015 Division I swimming and diving championships at C.T. Branin Natatorium.

Palazzo fell just short of winning double individual gold for the third consecutive year after Middletown senior Mark Andrew edged him in the 200 individual medley. But the two-time defending cleveland.com boys swimmer of the year returned with a vengeance in the breaststroke with a record-setting time of 54.35.

"I've been training the best breaststroke that I've ever had this year," Palazzo said. "I was really confident going into that race and I knew that if I could just get out on it and attack the front end that I'd be able to come home really good."

Cincinnati St. Xavier won it's 36th state title in boys swimming, adding to its record for the most championships by a school in a single OHSAA sport. The Bombers totaled 335 points to finish ahead of Cincinnati Moeller (134). Hudson's 127 points put the Explorers just ahead of Solon, which finished fourth for the second straight year (125).

On the girls side, Upper Arlington won its 10th team title with 285 points while Cincinnati St. Ursula was second with 270. Hudson was seventh (108), Strongsville ninth (106) and Walsh Jesuit ninth (96).

Individual local champions included Walsh Jesuit senior Michael Reilman in the 100 backstroke and sophomore Carly Hart in the 100 breaststroke.

Hart beat out teammate Hannah Gresser for the 100 breaststroke title that Gresser had won last year as a freshman. 

Brecksville's boys 200 freestyle relay finished first with a time of 1:23.85.

Notable local runners-up included Strongsville's Mike Pichette in the 100 butterfly (48.96), Solon's Grant Pinchot in the 100 backstroke (49.62) and Hudson's 400 freestyle relay of Cole Clampffer, Palazzo, Ryan Johnson and Brendon Mulcahey (3:05.90). 

What it means

Hudson's boys earned their highest finish at a state meet in school history. "I've been here nine years and I've have a lot of goals," Hudson coach Matt Davidson said. "For us to get to the point where we're at now is incredible. We talk about them achieving their goals, but they've helped me achieve mine and I couldn't be more proud of these kids."

Upset of the day

In the boys 200 individual medley, two-time defending cleveland.com swimmer of the year Ross Palazzo battled Middletown senior Mark Andrew in a thrilling finish that saw both swimmers break a state record that had stood for 15 years. "You train all year to break the record and I did, and somebody just happened to go faster than me," Palazzo said. "That was great for him."

Stat of the day 

Brecksville junior anchorman Mike Krusinski closed out the boys 200 freestyle relay win for the Bees with a blistering split against Grant Carr of St. Xavier for a winning time of 1:23.85. Krusinski stands 5-foot-3 while Carr, a senior, stands 6-3. 

Race of the day

Walsh Jesuit sophomores Carly Hart and Hannah Gresser finished 1-2 in the girls 100 breaststroke, an event that Gresser won last year. "It's definitely a great competition in practice and at meets," Hart said of her relationship with Gresser. "We're still great friends. It's amazing to have a teammate like that to push me."

Records set 

Middletown senior Mark Andrew and Hudson's Palazzo both eclipsed a 15-year mark held by U.S. Olympian Mark Gangloff of Firestone in the 200 IM. Palazzo (1:47.54) and Andrew (1:46.63) checked in ahead of Gangloff's time of 1:47.63. 

Palazzo set a new state record in winning the 100 breaststroke with a time of 54.35, besting the mark established by Chris Ash of Firestone in 2005 (54.70).

Local boys champions 

Brecksville 200 freestyle relay: The team of David Madej, Mike Lynch, Matthew Martin and Mark Krusinski took down the defending state runner-up St. Xavier. Brecksville coach Mark Krusinski Sr. credited Madej, a freshman, with getting the early lead on St. X. "We knew we needed him to have a big swim and he did," Krusinski said.  "There was a lot of pressure and he delivered."

Michael Reilman, Walsh Jesuit, 100 backstroke: Reilman held off Solon's Grant Pinchot in the backstroke final with a time of 48.28. Reilman was also second in the 200 freestyle to St. Xavier sophomore phenom Grant House.

Ross Palazzo, Hudson, 100 breaststroke: Palazzo won the breaststroke title for the third consecutive year, this time in record-breaking fashion.

Local girls champion

Carly Hart, Walsh Jesuit, 100 breaststroke: Hart bested Warriors teammate Hannah Gresser in 1:02.69 in the event Gresser won as a freshman last year.

Notable

Solon coach Mike Davidson said his boys swimmers broke four school records during the state meet. Davidson said record breakers included the 200 medley relay of  Jack McNulty, Christopher Guo Grant Pinchot and Anthony Immormino; Pinchot in the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke and Guo in the 100 breaststroke each set a new record for Solon.

Boys sound bites

Walsh Jesuit's Michael Reilman on his winning performance in the 100 backstroke: "The race didn't feel that great, but in the warmup I felt amazing. I used that confidence in the race. I just wanted to go out with a bang and have a great time doing it."

Solon senior Grant Pinchot on his team's effort: "We were fourth last year and fourth again this year. That's the equivalent of the final four for basketball or football, so you've got to be proud of that accomplishment."

Hudson coach Matt Davis on Palazzo's breaststroke win: "The way he looked in that race, the way he looked in our first relay, I knew that he had a really good shot at breaking that state record. And it's something that I know he's been working for three years to do."

Palazzo on getting the 100 breaststroke record: "I've been wanting that record ever since I won the state title in 2013 and to do that now in my final swim was awesome."

Brecksville coach Mark Krusinski Sr. on his son, Mark Jr.'s effort in the final leg of the Bees' winning 200 FR: "He told the guys to just get it close and he closed it down. He came off the last wall and put his head down. He was determined to do it. 

Girls soundbites

Strongsville senior Brooke Delventhal on her final state meet: "My expectations were high. I was determined to do really well. This was the most fun I've had in four years with all my teammates. I'm speechless. Being on the podium individually was incredible."

Carly Hart, Walsh Jesuit on the key to winning the 100 breaststroke: "I needed to have confidence, I knew the last two laps were tough for me, so I had to really push."

St. Vincent-St. Mary defeated Canton McKinley on Saturday to complete an undefeated regular season.

AKRON, Ohio — St. Vincent-St. Mary's boys basketball team completed its second undefeated regular season in school history by beating visiting Canton McKinley, 78-59, on Saturday.

Six players scored in double figures for St. Vincent-St. Mary, ranked No. 1 in the cleveland.com Top 25.

Leading the way for the Irish (22-0) was senior Johnnie Robinson, who had 16 points, including three 3-pointers, in his final regular season game at LeBron James Arena.

"I had a couple of emotions running through my mind," said Robinson about his final home game. "It's great to play for Coach Dru (Joyce) and to be in front of this student section."

The Irish opened the game on a 14-3 run in the first 3:50 of the game and never trailed after that.

Henry Baddley added 13 points for St. Vincent-St. Mary.

Marquise Gaines led Canton McKinley (8-13) with 25 points.

What it means

St. Vincent-St. Mary had its first undefeated season since 1999-2000, when LeBron James was a freshman for the Irish.

It was also senior night for the Irish as all four of its seniors started. Robinson had a team-high 16 points, Jibri Blount and Josh Williams each had 12 and R.J. Jones scored 11.

St. Vincent-St. Mary joined Lorain and Green as the three teams from Northeast Ohio to complete an undefeated regular season.

Play of the game

With 25.8 seconds left in the third quarter, St. Vincent-St. Mary's Jayvon Graves took a pass from Blount and converted an up-and-under layup while being fouled.

Graves converted the three-point play to give the Irish a 57-41 lead.

Critical run

The Irish started the game on a 14-3 run in a stretch of 3:50. They only trailed once, at 3-2, before scoring the next 12 points to take the lead for good.

Who stood out for St. Vincent-St. Mary

Robinson: On senior night, he shined the brightest among the four who were playing their final home regular season game. He led the team with 16 points, 10 of which came in the first half, and hit three 3-pointers.

Baddley: He was the only starter who was not a senior, but continued his impressive sophomore season with 13 points.

Graves: The sophomore did not come into the game until the second quarter, but made an impact off the bench with 11 points. He hit a pair of 3-pointers, both in the second.

Who stood out for Canton McKinley

Gaines: In his final regular season game, the Bulldogs' forward was the most effective player for his team. Gaines finished with a game-high 25 points.

Daron Davis: The senior had a double-double for Canton McKinley with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

St. Vincent-St. Mary sound bites

Joyce on going 22-0: "It means a lot. But the truth is we need to go 29-0, now. That's what's going to make it sweet. 22-0 is great, especially when you consider the schedule we had and the fact that we had to play so many games on the road. So I'm not going to discount it. But I'm sure they'll tell you that 29-0 is what we've got to get now."

Robinson on an undefeated regular season: "It's special. We know that our job isn't done. We know we have to win the last game for all of this to matter. So it's fun knowing that we were undefeated, but we still have a lot of work to do."

Blount on his final regular season home game: "It's definitely bittersweet coming here last year for my first time, not really even thinking about this right now. But now, it's here and it's definitely a bittersweet moment."

St. Vincent-St. Mary honors champion alums

At halftime, the school took time to honor three recent alumni who helped Ohio State win the college football national championship in January.

Alums Dante Booker, Doran Grant and Parris Campbell all received framed St. Vincent-St. Mary jerseys at halftime.

Ohio State quarterback and Glenville alum Cardale Jones was also in attendance and joined his teammates briefly at center court.

What's next

St. Vincent-St. Mary vs. Akron Springfield-Canal Fulton Northwest winner,

St. Edward and Elyria won all but two weight classes at the Division I Westlake sectional.

WESTLAKE, Ohio – St. Edward won the Division I sectional tournament at Westlake Saturday, qualifying all 14 of their wrestlers to next week’s district tournament at Cleveland State. 

The Eagles had 11 wrestlers in the finals and six champions. Three others finished third. They scored 309 team points to easily outdistance runner-up Elyria and win their 40^th consecutive sectional team championship.

Highlight videos will be added to this post.

Winning titles for the Eagles were Alan Hart (113), L.J. Bentley (126), Hunter Ladnier (132), Isaac Collier (138), Jared Campbell (195) and Parker Knapp (220).

It’s not the first time the Eagles have sent a full lineup to districts.

“It means that everybody is going to show up for practice (Sunday) morning, and that’s always a good feeling,” said Knapp of the Eagles’ full district team.

The Pioneers had eight finalists and six champions – Josh Breeding (106), Nick Mayer (120), Brendan Price (145), JT Brown (170), Ben Darmstadt (182) and Kevin Vough (285) - and qualified 12 wrestlers to districts.

The Eagles and Pioneers won all but two weight classes. The other two went to Olmsted Falls’ Brice Locklear (152) and Avon’s Travis Leopold (160).

The Eagles defeated the Pioneers in the semifinals of the Division I state dual tournament two weeks ago. On Saturday, they had five head-to-head matches in the sectional finals. The Pioneers won four of them.

How they finished

Olmsted Falls was third in the team race, 85.5 points behind the Pioneers. The Bulldogs went just 2-6 in semifinals, but still sent nine to districts, led by Locklear and runner-up Noel Caraballo (220).

Lorain had five district qualifiers, including runners-up Xaevier Edwards (126) and Isaiah Margheim (195). Devione Edwards, third at last season’s state tournament, was third at 106 Saturday.

Matches of the day

At 106, St. Edward freshman Matt Kazimir won a 3-2 overtime decision against No. 1 seed Devione Edwards in the semifinals. Kazimir’s takedown and Edward’s two escapes sent the match to overtime, where an escape won it for Kazimir.

At 145, Mitchell Dailey of Olmsted Falls trailed Avon’s Jack Gothier 9-2 in the third period of their consolation semifinal. But Daily turned a reversal into a pin to secure a district berth and advance to the third-place match, which he later won. Gothier, who was seeded second, finished fifth.

Others on the podium

Leopold: The Avon senior, in just his third year of wrestling, improved to 46-0 with his 10-9 decision against St. Edward’s D.J. Williamson in the finals.

Williamson scored the first takedown early in the first period, kicking off an entertaining match. Leopold led 7-6 entering the third. He got an escape and takedown, then held on as Williamson tried to rally late.

“When I won it, it seemed like everybody went crazy. Probably my most memorable moment in high school,” said Leopold. “He was crazy fast. That was only the second time I’ve been taken down the whole season. It was kind of eye-opening. I looked at my coach and he was like, ‘Keep calm, don’t get flustered.’ And that’s exactly what I did.”

Leopold got his 100^th career win in the semifinals.

Breeding: The Elyria freshman won 106 by defeating St. Edward freshman Matt Kazimir in the final, 2-0. It was a reversal of their meeting at the state dual tournament, when Kazimir won by the same score.

Breeding scored back points in the first period and made them hold up.

“Great weekend for me, also for the team. We have 11 or 12 guys going to districts and that’s great,” said Breeding.

Campbell: The St. Edward sophomore was a state alternate last season after taking third at sectionals. On Saturday, he won 195 with a 10-4 decision against Margheim, a two-time state qualifier and 2013 runner-up.

“He lost to the No. 1 kid in the state (Oregon Clay state runner-up) Matt Stencel and I beat him worst than Stencel did, so my confidence is up,” said Campbell. “I’m ready to go all the way to state.”

Darmstadt: The Elyria junior spent little time on the mat at the sectional tournament. He pinned his way to the 182 title, winning four matches in a total time of 2:16. The longest match was the final, a 50-second pin of St. Edward’s Tyler Stepic.

Locklear: The Olmsted Falls junior got his 100^th career win with his 5-4 decision against Elyria’s Mikah Price in the 152 finals.

Knapp: In the only final featuring two former state qualifiers, the St. Edward senior was tied with Caraballo midway through the third, but got a pair of takedowns late for an 8-4 decision at 220.

WRESTLING

Sectional wrestling results.

Lefty Kyle Crockett went 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA in 43 appearances for the Indians last year.

Goodyear, Ariz. -- Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here 

Hey, Hoynsie: Is Kyle Crockett ready for the stating rotation? -- Perry Marker, Bodega Bay, Calif.

Hey, Perry: As far as I know there are no plans to make Crockett a starter. He did a great job out of the bullpen last year as a rookie and manager Terry Francona said his role in the pen could increase this season.

Hey, Hoynsie: In your opinion, does Tom Hamilton receive the deserved recognition as one of the best play-by-play men nationally? -- John Karliak, Hampton, N.H.

Hey, John: I love listening to Tom Hamilton call games on the radio. He's prepared and knows what he's talking about.

I'm not sure what the national perception of him is, but this is his 26^th season with the Tribe so he must be doing something right. I think he's shoo-in to one day win the Ford C. Frick award and be enshrined in the broadcasters' wing at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

Hey, Hoynsie: Which current or former MLB shortstop does Francisco Lindor remind you of and why? -- Steve Ward, Chardon. 

Hey, Steve: I've got to be honest with you, I haven't really seen him play enough to make that kind of comparison. He has good hands, a strong arm and excellent range.

Offensively, he's probably a top or bottom of the order hitter. In asking around, some have compared him to Jimmy Rollins, the former Phillies shortstop who was traded to the Dodgers this winter. Lindor is strong, quick and athletic like Rollins.

The switch-hitting 5-11 Lindor came to camp weighing a solid 192 pounds. Rollins, also a switch-hitter, is listed at 5-8 and 180.

Hey, Hoynsie: When can we expect to see Jesus Aguilar in the majors and where will he play with the DH/1B/RF logjam? He's a righty with power, which is something the Tribe needs. -- Kam Logan, Youngstown. 

Hey, Kam: A couple of things would have to happen for Aguilar to spend a significant amount of time in the big leagues this year.

First, he'd have to be playing and hitting well at Class AAA Columbus. Secondly, there would have to be an opening in Cleveland, which means a lot of guys would have to be traded or injured. 

Aguilar, 24, has two minor-league options left so there's no rush. He has played a little third base, but if he made the big leagues he'd have to play first and DH.

Hey, Hoynsie: Is there any chance that the Tribe can have Nick Swisher start the season doing a minor-league rehab assignment? Maybe he can rebuild his confidence and find his offense again. -- Roger Jordan, Brea, Calif.

Hey, Roger: It is possible Swisher could open the season on the disabled list. He's been cleared to hit and throw, but his running program is still restricted as he recovers from surgery on both knees. When he's ready to run without restriction, he still has to prove can do all the moves necessary to play first base or right field.

Manager Terry Francona has told reporters that they'll work off Swisher in terms of how he's feeling when he runs. He doesn't want him to rush back to meet an artificial deadline such as opening day and then only to go on the disabled list later in the season.
