WEEK ENDING AUGUST 31

The Norwood boys soccer Athletes of the Week are Sam Eilerman, Antonio Reyes, Yaszel Kritis, and Alex O’Connor. Sam has had a fantastic start to the season. In just two games, he has proven to be a key player by creating plays that lead to scoring opportunities. Sam has scored one goal himself and also assisted a goal. Great midfielder! Antonio has been a rock on defense, an absolute beast at stopping scoring chances and keeping opponents at bay. He has truly earned the nickname “The Great Wall of Norwood.” Excellent center back! Yaszel has become a strong center midfielder and recently embodied the “never stop trying” mindset, scoring a beautiful goal against Summit Country Day. He has secured two goals in our first two games and set the bar high for the team. Giving 100 percent and leaving everything on the field is what’s important. The hardest role on a soccer team is finding a great goalkeeper, and Alex has stepped up with ease. But that’s not the only way he contributes; he also helps build the team by recruiting players, both new and experienced. Without him, we wouldn’t have a team. Alex is literally not just saving goals, he’s saving the team.

Our Athlete of the Week for Seven Hills girls soccer is Eliana Mckee for her fantastic double save against Sycamore. She made the first save then dove into the goal post to make the second, putting her body on the line for her teammates!

Norwood boys seventh grade cross country runner Judah Stutzmen works really hard every day in practice and pushes himself by volunteering to run more than is expected of him.  He shaved 25 seconds off his time in the second race and keeps striving to do better.  Great job Judah!

In CHCA's win over North College Hill, Lerois Harris had eight touches for 167 yards and three touchdowns in a hard-fought game.

New Miami eighth grade football player Aaiden Fry had four tackles for loss and multiple assisted tackles and a leader in Thursday's game against St. Bernard-Elmwood Place. 

MVCA's eighth grade Purple volleyball player Lena Erickson was a true team captain in our win Thursday against Wyoming. She kept the team motivated, uplifted, and left her heart on the volleyball court. I am happy to have Lena on our team, and proud to call her a team captain. I am excited to watch Lena continue to grow as a player! 

In St. Bernard-Elmwood Place's 32-6 football victory over New Miami, Daryl Miller is recognized for his performance and exceptional team effort! Daryl was willing as a wide receiver to step into the role of a quarterback when our starting QB was injured. His dedication to his teammates and to the game landed him two touchdowns and one of the greatest tackles of the game! Big congrats to Daryl and all of the St. Bernard-Elmwood Place Junior High Titans!

Cincinnati Christian eighth grade "A" volleyball player Kendall Wilder served 15 serves in a row with nine of them being aces in the team's match-up with St. Bernard-Elmwood Place! Great job Kendall!

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 24

Cincinnati Christian seventh grade cross country runner Micah Dickerson excelled in his breakout cross country race at the CCD Invitational with a top-10 performance in a personal-best time of: 14:54.11.

Clark Montessori girls soccer player Kharli Parker Garris had 15 saves as goalie in her first game! She is our Athlete of the Week!

Norwood boys cross country Athlete of the week is seventh grader Judah Stutzman. In his first race as a cross country runner, Judah ran a 16:30.  He runs hard at practice every day and has great potential to become a strong cross country runner - keep up the great work Judah!

Seven Hills eighth grade soccer player Alexandra Krause scored three goals and had two assists in our season opener against Reading. She is a force to be reckoned with in the attack!

St. Bernard-Elmwood Place eighth grade football player Elijah Scheiderer had seven carries for 80 yards and a touchdown against Norwood (a 6-6 tie). He is also a great leader for our team. I consider him and a few others as “vets.” This is his second year with our middle school program, and he has done nothing but improve. He’s a great athlete, great student, and a great teammate.

In Clark Montessori’s first game of the season against Cincinnati Country Day, quarterback Tyvez Boggs registered 104 yards rushing and a touchdown and 150 yards passing and two touchdowns. He also had a 25-yard passing touchdown and a 65-yard rushing score called back due to penalties. I look forward to him having a stellar season.

MVCA eighth grade volleyball player Maribelle Baker was willing to play outside of her comfort zone and play positions she hasn’t played before in our game against Goshen. I am looking forward to seeing how she grows throughout this season!
