Local Business To Give Away Coats, Host Xmas Party Tomorrow 

B & B Grill & Lounge, a relatively new business in the Dayton and Middletown area, are donating hundreds of coats to people who will need them for the holidays this weekend.

The Lounge, which is located in Dayton (Salem Ave) and in Middletown (Cincinnati-Dayton Road) will host the Coat Giveaway and also host a XMas Party during and after the event in Middletown tomorrow.

"We want to be more involved with the Middletown and Dayton communities, and we want to give back to the families who need these coats." B&B General Manager LaToya Tellis said.  

"We have over 150 coats to give, and we need a few businesses and organizations to join us in the giveaway and party. We really want to be more involved within the community to help the people who need it." 

The event will be in the B&B parking lot and will start at 4pm ET and end around 8pm.  

"We were hoping for a few partners to provide some hot chocolate, cookies, and other small items that can help keep us warm during the cold day. We still have a few slots available, and we are hoping the Middletown community, including the Middletown HS Athletics department will join and support us in the cause." Tellis stated. 

We also could use a couple of holiday characters,  such as a Santa, Some Elves, and any Holiday characters that are available.

Record Setting Week as Shaker Ladies Demolishes Opp 75-1; Is it OHSAA Record? Big Game Saturday vs Warrensville

 The Shaker Way Series 

Record Setting Week as Shaker Girls Prepares for Warrensville in Game of the Week

By Deon Cash 

The Shaker Heights girls basketball team has made a dymanic impact and a huge turnaround in only the 1st portion of the season under new head coach Carlton Conwell and his staff.   

After smacking a team down 59-9 a little less than 2 weeks ago, the Lady Raiders did it again. 

They defeated Shaw by the score of 75-1 which is a possible record for the least amount of points scored and biggest margin of victory in Shaker basketball history.  

Head Coach Carlton Conwell and Coach Reggie Harwell spoke after the last game, a big win on the road to North Royalton. 

"We're locked in. Our mission is to get these girls to believe that we are one of the top teams in Cleveland girls HS basketball. 

We want to go to Dayton this season for the OHSAA State Championship. We have the pieces. We (the coaching staff) need them to believe. And they (team and organization) are starting to buy all the way in." Coach Conwell said. 

"Were on our way to doing that. We gotta stay focused and locked in every day. No days off." Coach Harwell said. 

The Lady Raiders slapped North Royalton 56-32 to solidify themselves as a legit contender in the conference and put the city on notice.

After the blowout win vs Shaw the Cleveland Inquirer made some changes to the Top 25. 

"We got a few calls this week from some media outlets in the city and beyond." Conwell stated. Feels good to be able to change the vibe of Shaker Nation for the positive." 

After a thorough win on the road against North Royalton, the stage is set for this weekend's big tilt against one of the top dogs in the Land in Warrensville. 

Warrensville is lead by Coach Bryant, who has a squad and will be ready for the challenge. They also played Shaw and won 86-7, so the similarities in the scores make this tilt very interesting.

After the road win the Lady Raiders sit at 3-0 in the conference, (5-2 overall) and go into the battle with full confidence. They have defeated a solid team on a neutral court earlier this season, and now have  defeated a solid team on their own court as well. 

Can they knock off Warrensville and stay atop of the Lake Erie Conference? 

Tune in tomorrow at 2:30 pm at Warrensville for the action. Best believe The Shaker Way will be in the building. 

And if they are able to pull off the big upset win, expect them Raiders to move somewhere in the Top 10-15 of that exclusive ranking provided by Cleveland.com. 

Follow the Shaker Heights girls, Coach Conwell and his staff, and their Journey this basketball season with us!
