WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 20

Norwood boys soccer Athletes of the Week goes to the entire soccer team! We started the season as strangers, but without a doubt, we finished as a family. I believe the most difficult thing in coaching a team is creating a sense of unity. However, that proved to be easy for us this season; we became a team that doesn't just care about winning, but also one that looks out for one another. This team definitely has that down. Each player worked hard to improve, not just for his own personal gain, but to ensure that they could help us win and strengthen the team. The Norwood Middle School boys' soccer team definitely exceeded expectations and players achieved every goal they set for themselves this season, and for that, you should all be proud. Continue to be great teammates and great players. Remember to keep learning and improving. 

Norwood volleyball player Macey Lomboy went on an eight-point serving run in a set against Cincinnati Country Day.  This pivotal point in the match gave Norwood the momentum to finish strong and earn a spot in the league championship game.  

Summit boys and girls soccer teams get shout outs for spectacular seasons. Summit boys finished the season 11-0-2 (10-0-1 against MVC schools) with 57 goals scored and six conceded. The Summit girls finished 9-1 (7-0 against MVC schools) with 50 goals scored and 15 conceded, and their lone loss to a phenomenal Walnut Hills team. We’re very proud of the hard work and dedication that it took to go undefeated in conference play against some very competitive teams this fall from our fellow MVC member schools. A total team effort on the part of both teams!

WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 13

Norwood girls soccer player Kendra Rhodes played defense all season. We moved her up to striker against Clark Montessori and she scored the only goal for us. Kadence Bain has had a busy season as our sweeper. No matter what the score was, she always played with her heart. She never gave up. 

This week’s MVCA Purple volleyball team Athlete of the Week is eighth grader Ruth Pryor. Ruth, who has played outside hitter this season, brings a competitive fire to the court and is the backbone of our front row. She hits the court focused and determined every single practice and match and never stops wanting to improve her skill sets. Her explosive hitting and impressive blocking is unmatched. Her amazing athleticism and vertical have made her unstoppable at the net many times this season. Her desire, drive, and performance have been a major contribution to the team’s perfect conference record of 12-0. Ruth has been able to utilize various hitting windows and has also improved her court smarts a ton, which shows on the court. So proud of you, Ruth!

Norwood volleyball player Allie Howard served six straight points in the first set to help lead the Lady Indians to a win against Seven Hills.  She also contributed a solid game of attacks at the net and assists in setting. 

This week's MVCA Silver volleyball Athlete of the Week is Chloe Grimshaw! Chloe has made such a huge jump of progress this year as an eighth grader! I have adjusted her rotation to play both frontrow and a passing position based on her improvements, along with not only serving - but JUMP SERVING! Thank you, Chloe, for putting in the work and effort to make such great progress this year! 

Norwood boys soccer Athlete of the Week is Kendree Suazo. Kendree is a skillful player and confident on the ball, which makes him a great asset to the team and allows him to play a key role in the game. He’s NMS's top scorer for the season. He is able to learn quickly and execute tactics, which makes him a dangerous player to compete against. But aside from being great with the ball, he’s also a fantastic teammate and jokester who always has something funny to say. Continue to learn and improve Kendree. 

WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 6

Norwood boys soccer recognizes Micah Stoxen, Antonio Reyes, and Yaszel Kritis. Micah is a defensive player, and a great one, too. He has gotten Norwood out of scary situations in our area, and he’s also managed to score a goal this season by dribbling from the back to the offensive goal box! Micah is a fantastic player to have on the team. He’s the type of player coaches wish they had - a player who is coachable, respectful, and willing to give 100 percent of everything he’s got. For that, he’s earned my respect, and I’m glad to have him on the team. Keep learning and keep improving! Antonio is a center back, also known as a defensive player. The only way I can describe Antonio is by calling him the Great Wall of China. He’s tough, aggressive, and isn’t afraid to get physical, which makes him a vital player for us to have! Beyond that, he’s Mr. Smile and a motivator. Always happy to play, he encourages his teammates, even when losing; he finds a way to look at it in a positive way. He continues to learn and to improve. Yaszel is a midfielder and defensive player. I know I can trust him. No matter which position I play him in, I don’t need to worry about it. He’ll complete the task and help the team win. He’s definitely a hard worker and continues to impress me with the amount of improvement he’s made over the years. The best way to describe him would be as a chameleon who easily adapts to whatever position is given to him. That can sometimes be hard for other players, but not for him. Another thing he’s mastered is vision for creating plays when and where to place ball is fundamental in Fútbol. Continue to grind and work hard, Yaszel. 

As a team, Seven Hills placed second in the Cincinnati Middle School Central Conference this year (5-1 in conference play), but yesterday we finished fourth in the final CMS tournament (16 teams) which was 18 holes at The Mill Course.  Eighth grader Leo Cai shot a 76 with a pair of eagles!

This week’s MVCA’s Purple volleyball Athlete of the Week is eighth grader Ayla DeBra. Ayla is the kind of player you want on your team! She is a natural leader and always shows up ready to play! She is extremely versatile and is always willing to hit the floor at any time to dig a ball. Ayla's kind spirit, consistent leadership, and amazing play shines on the court. Her exceptional hustle as setter and outside hitter this season has played a vital role in the team’s success. So proud of your effort and determination, Ayla!

Congratulations to CHCA seventh grade cross country runners Presley Peschke and Norah Robinette for running a personal best at the CHCA Invitational. Also to eighth graders Samuel Pohl, Cameron Lessek, Peter Waldron, and Drew Cullen and seventh grader Elliot Gockerman for also running personal bests. All this to get primed for the MVC Championship on Tuesday. 

Norwood's volleyball player Lexi Wagers played a great game as defensive specialist in a win against Batavia. Lexi's on-target passing was remarkable in serve receive and defense.

This week's MVCA Silver volleyball Athlete of the Week is Sara Alpiger! Sara has been a great asset to the team. She has grown as an athlete and a leader - she found her voice! As a setter, a part of Sara's responsibility is to lead her team on the court and she has done just that. Her serves are unstoppable, her hits are fierce, and her quick game decisions are a force to be reckoned with! Not to mention, the girl has pretty much gone undefeated in our "popcorn" drills during practice. We are happy to have Sara on our team this year!

WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 29

The Norwood football offensive line was absolutely stunning in Thursday’s victory over MVCA, creating ample rushing lanes and clean pockets. Their efforts directly led to over 200 yards rushing and four rushing touchdowns along with 200 yards passing and one passing touchdown. This effort was led by Gabe Odeh, Demeco Armstead, Kypton Hull, Colton Stacey, and Leo Daniel.

The Eagles were on a break this past week from racing the 3200, but were still working on the track with a 1600 time trial. Congratulations to seventh grader Sophie Schultz for improving on her personal-best time. She started out the year going 9:40 and just ran a 6:44. For the boys, congratulations to eighth grader Rees Hargis, who improved from 16:04 to 11:30. Better every day!

Norwood soccer player Cesar Gutierrez has had a spectacular season as a defensive player and has been a great asset to the team, whether by stopping the opposition from scoring or by scoring himself! He managed to open the scoreboard for us with a fantastic goal from the 50-yard line. Sergio Ramos in the making—keep working hard and improving, Cesar! Cain Sanchez Meza started the season a bit rocky, but that hasn’t stopped him from putting in hard work, which has paid off. He secured our team's victory against Seven Hills by scoring and putting us ahead. Cain has shown that, no matter what obstacles come his way, he’s willing to keep grinding hard to achieve his goals.

Norwood volleyball player Maddi Maxwell continues to show leadership on the court.  Her efforts to chase down a ball or to put a third hit in play are unmatched. 

MVCA Silver volleyball player Nevaeh Schaffer has zoned in on improving her volleyball skills each and every week this season. Nevaeh has worked hard on becoming an excellent passer and has gained the team many points with her serves. She has recently become an asset hitter in the back and front row. Keep pushing to be the best athlete you can be Nevaeh; we are excited to see where the sport takes you!

MVCA Purple volleyball player Lena Erickson has been a key player for the team throughout this entire season. She is a natural leader and does not hesitate to take charge and help command the court. She is a natural athlete and an extremely hard worker. Her consistency, skill, and determination truly shine on the court. Lena is constantly demonstrating her ability to lead by example and has a gift to anticipate the ball and make solid plays. Her remarkable back row playing and right side hitting have helped her team earn its 8-0 conference record to date! Great job, Lena!

WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 22

Seven Hills eighth grade cross country runner Cora Krumanaker won the Seven Hills Invitational with a time of 14:42.

Cincinnati Christian seventh grade cross country runner Silas Romine set a huge personal record yesterday at Cedarville’s Friendship Invitational with a time of 17:10 at 1:30 on his previous best!   Congratulations Silas on your hard work and your desire to continue to improve! 

Norwood girls soccer player Casey Warner recorded 24 saves in goalie in the Lady Indians' 1-0 win against Mariemont.

This week’s MVCA Purple volleyball Athlete of the Week is eighth grader Reagan Iles. Reagan is a wonderful teammate. She is constantly supporting her teammates and is always positive and inspirational. She led the team in kills this past Saturday against a friendly scrimmage with Nagel Blue, which played a critical role in MVCA securing the win in the first set. It is obvious that Reagan is putting in extra time off the court to improve her skills and it shows at practice and in matches. Her serving has improved significantly since the beginning of the season, and I can’t wait to see what else she does in the weeks to come! Great job, Reagan!

Norwood football player Terryion Smith accounted for five total touchdowns with over 300 total yards in a 48-0 victory over Clark Wednesday night. Defensively, Gabe Odeh led the charge with two sacks and eight total tackles.

In a hard fought match against MVCA, Norwood volleyball player Kinley Messer led the Lady Indians with the most digs and consistent attacks on offense.

The Norwood boys soccer Athletes of the Week are Benjamin O’Connor (8th grade), Sebastian O’Leary (8th grade), Isaiah Espitia (8th grade), and Elijah Henslee (7th grade). Ben has had a fantastic season this year, scoring four goals. However, it’s not just the goals that make Ben a great player; it’s also the role he plays on the team. Being a captain comes with many responsibilities and challenges, and Ben has proven to me that trusting him to be one of our leaders was a great decision. Keep up the good work! Sebastian delivered another great performance against Walnut Hills. Playing goalie might not be his favorite position, but when it’s game time, all that is out the window. Sebastian just keeps getting better! He makes great saves, helps his defensemen stay locked in, and his growing confidence shows why he’s a captain! Isaiah has been a great player to watch. He embodies the "Learn and Improve" motto of our team! He didn’t start as our team captain, but he worked hard for it and eventually earned the role. Isaiah has played as a defensive player and has excelled in that position, but he’s also been our goalie and has rocked that position as well! Isaiah has been pushing himself to be better, and all I have to say is ... keep going! Elijah has been working hard during practices and games. He scored a great goal off an amazing assist and continues to improve his skills and technique! So keep learning and stay on the grind - hard work pays off!

Congratulation to CHCA eighth grade girls cross country runner Addison Connor for placing 10th for all eighth graders at the Fairmont Invitational in tough adverse conditions. Also medaling were seventh grader Ella McGrath at 12th for all seventh graders and seventh grader Presley Peschke who finished 14th for all seventh graders. Presley even ran a personal best on Saturday which was even more impressive.

Also medaling was seventh grader Eliot Gockerman who placed second out of all the seventh graders.

This week's MVCA Silver volleyball Athlete-of-the-Week is Nora Brinkley! Nora has really stepped up this season in different positions on the court. She understands what it takes to be a well-rounded athlete. Her serves continue to help the team gain points, her passes have been consistent with helping set up plays, she has become an aggressive front AND back row hitter, and the strength in her hands to stop a ball is quite simply amazing. We are thrilled to have Nora - our Team Huddle Hype-Girl along with an all-around asset to the team on and off the court! 

WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 15

Norwood football player Preston Duff had 15 total tackles, 10 being solo, in a hard-fought 16-14 loss to a tough Williamsburg team. Preston was all over the field Wednesday and became a staple on defense for the Indians.

Norwood boys soccer Athlete of the Week goes to Cesar Gutierrez, an eighth-grade defensive player. Cesar has had an impressive season so far as a defender. He had a great performance against Summit Country Day; even though we didn’t get the win, he still minimized any goal opportunities for Summit. It's exciting to see how much he's improved in just his second year, earning him the nickname "The Sergio Ramos of Norwood Soccer." Keep up the fantastic work. 

MVCA Purple volleyball Athletes of the Week go to seventh graders Annabelle Seddon and Maddie Neu. Our main setter was out sick this past week, and for two matches these girls stepped in to set (having never set in a match before). They both did a wonderful job, carrying their team to victory - winning both matches in two sets! These two are constantly pushing themselves to improve their game. Annabelle is a solid athlete and great teammate, and Maddie has demonstrated tremendous growth and dedication to her sport. Looking forward to them both continuing to shine! Congrats!

Norwood volleyball player Nevaeh Davis led her team to victory over Mariemont with her powerful serves and aggressive defense. 

Congratulations to CHCA seventh graders Presley Peschke, Elise Denne, Jackson Barnum, and eighth grader Samuel Pohl for running their personal best at the Springboro Cross Country Invitational. All four of them are first time cross country runners and are quickly finding out that hard work does indeed pay off. 

MVCA Silver volleyball player Franny Dorstal is coming off of an injury and has hit the court hard! She has put in the work to become a more advanced left arm hitter and a solid back row passer. Franny is constantly showing growth as a well-rounded player, as well as an encourager to her teammates. We are proud of Franny and the athlete she is becoming! 

WEEK ENDING SEPTEMBER 8

We are so happy to have her on the team this year! Congratulations on your PR Emmy!  

MVCA eighth grade Purple volleyball Athlete of the Week is Riley Jones, whose performance on the court has been nothing short of amazing! Her stellar serves and key back row passing have really helped lead her team to victory. Off the court, Riley’s Christ-centered caring attitude, sportsmanship, and dedication make her a role model for her teammates. Her recognition as Athlete of the Week reflects her hard work and leadership. She is extremely coachable, applies feedback from her coach, and has already made significant improvements in her hitting and serving. Keep up the great work, Riley! 

Norwood volleyball player Madilyn Wade had a total of 23 serving aces in three games to lead to victories for the Lady Indians.  

MVCA Silver eighth grade volleyball player Kailynn Anspach embraced an opportunity during our first home game to serve! This is something Kailynn is not used to doing during her rotation, but coach asked her to do it, and she stepped out of her comfort zone and did it.  Not only did she do it, but she also gained the team some points in the process.  I am proud to see Kaitlynn stepping out of her comfort zone and gaining experience as a player! 

Congratulations to CHCA eighth grader Max Loar for medaling for the first time at the Little Miami Invitational. Max now becomes the #3 runner with this new sport that he is still learning strategy and pacing of his effort.

Running PRs for the Lady Eagles were Natalie Peterson (7), Mollie Ankenbauer (8), Kylie Snyder (8), and Elise Denne (7). And the most remarkable drop in time that I have ever seen was by Ella McGrath (7). She ran a 24:53.18 at the CCD Invitational and turned around a week later to run a 16:37.1. That is an 8:16 drop!  For the boys, the combination of Elliot Gockerman (7) and Cameron Lessek (8) continue to be a formidable 1-2 combination as they ran a PR and finished 13th and 14th at the Loveland Invite. Others who ran a personal best were Max Loar (8), Aiden Jin (8), Benjamin Romanello (8), Charlie Fey (8), and Alex Lorenz (7). Making the biggest drop was Landon Borreson (7).

MVCA Purple volleyball player Hope Patterson is an excellent example that hard work and perseverance pays off.  She has been working on applying the advice from her coach on her hitting technique and her improvement has shown this week!  She also understands the meaning of teamwork and leads by example. One player forgot her court shoes in practice last week and she was the first one to lend her shoes. Hope is serious about her responsibility to her teammates on and off the court.  She has a can-do attitude and willingness to work hard whether she is cheering for her teammates or working hard on the court. Great job, Hope!

MVCA Silver volleyball player Tynlee Brasington is a natural leader on and off the court, which is a big reason she is one of the team's captains. Tynlee has offered and shared her volleyball experience during practices to help the team.

This week, we would like to recognize a student-athlete whose effort, desire, sacrifice and contribution has made a difference on this team. Eighth grader Brooklyn Smith has demonstrated great Christian character.  She leads by example and has a true desire to put others first. She is always ready to focus in on each practice and offers to help the coach after every practice. Brooklyn never stops working hard, is always positive, and is a wonderful example of how to be a leader both on and off the court.

Norwood seventh grade volleyball player Harper Murphy played an essential role in the team's win over Middletown Christian.  She used her speed and determined attitude to make big plays on the court. Her hard work this summer is paying off.
