Large multi-bill concerts, such as The Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour at Arco Arena on Feb. 23, require due patience and a strong will. The patience is not for braving mosh-pits or long concession lines. No, the patience and will are required for sitting through acts of no-name bands that are often met with little more than a yawn and head nod.

Being a big fan of The Used and Senses Fail, I was excited to see them live for the first time. Co-headliner 30 Seconds to Mars dropped out of the show because of an unspecified illness to lead singer Jared Leto, so that only meant more time for the bands I came to see.

At times, Barrett admitted last night, it was difficult to know when the scouting ended and the appreciation of Eastmoor guard Ronnie Steward began. What became impossible, he said, was separating the two. "He is everything such a special player," Barrett said. "I saw him a lot this season when I scouted Eastmoor, and Ive seen him a lot during the summer. Hes a lot of fun to watch." Hes just not that fun to defend, as Barrett and the Barons learned in a 63-52 loss to Eastmoor in a Division II district semifinal in the Ohio Expo Center Coliseum. Steward, a 5-foot-10 senior headed to the University of Akron, had 20 points, seven assists and six rebounds to lead the top-seeded Warriors (19-3) into the district final against DeSales.
