WEEK ENDING AUGUST 30

Seven Hills golf team officially started the season this week at Little Miami (par 3).  The medalist was Barron Shapiro, who shot a 25, while Eli Spar shot a 26! Barron and Eli are both seventh graders!

Ruby Hayes (8th grade) and Quinn Carlson (7th grade) both goalies who have helped the Lady Knights field Hockey team record three shutouts in our first games of the season! 

Behind a dominant offensive line clearing the path for the Lions rushing attack and Greyson Arellano's 200+ yard performance, the MVCA football team won its season opener 46-20 over New Miami. After a shaky start, the MVCA defense got things rolling as well, collecting two safeties and an interception by Beau Livezey.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 23

In the 2026 season opener, St Bernard-Elmwood Place ran the ball well and took up the entire first quarter and two minutes of the second quarter on its initial possession, but the Eagles stopped them on downs. CHCA's Tyler Lillback took the first Eagles' touch 77 yards to the house and the Eagles turned a quick turnover into another touchdown with a 10-yard TD run by Isaiah Olson with six seconds left in the half.  Isaiah had eight touches for 89 yards, and Tyler had three touches for 86 yards to highlight the 22-8 CHCA win.

St. Bernard-Elmwood Place football would like to honor Ryan Pitts for his offensive performance and dedication to his team. In our contest against CHCA, he scored a receiving touchdown. He was a pioneer for the Titan offensive unit in spite of the loss. Defensive accolades go to Gabe Martinez, Shamir Morton, and Zyon Smith. They collectively showed up on some major plays with big tackles. They were the forerunners for the Titan defense.

Summit Country Day seventh-grade volleyball player Maris Moore is a natural leader on the court and in practice, with a lot of potential as an athlete. We are excited to see what she can accomplish! Eighth grader Chelsea Beyerbach is a poised and confident teammate. She pushes others to be better, playing out of position and still finding ways to impress!

On Thursday, The Summit Country Day golf team played against the Cardinal Pacelli in its first non-conference match of the year. The Silver Knights walked away with a victory, beating Cardinal Pacelli by fifteen strokes - 163-178. Levi Jewell was the match medalist, shooting a score of 36 on Little Miami’s Par 3 course. Levi would describe himself as a baseball player, as he only started playing golf more seriously six months ago.

 Norwood boys soccer recognizes the following players:  Sir’Kharri Smith has a strong work ethic and a passion for striving for success both on and off the field. His dedication to improving and growing is definitely something to respect and an excellent example for others. He’s absolutely a player to watch this season and for many seasons to come! William Lengerich opened the season with an impressive 18 saves as a goalkeeper, making those saves out of approximately 25–30 shots on goal. As a goalkeeper, that’s an incredible start! He’s already on his way to challenging the current NMS record of 36 saves. With determination and consistency, William has the potential to make his mark in the record books. Keep working, William! Adam Odeh has proven to be a great choice as a captain this season. He has handled his captain responsibilities very well and has also managed to put his name on the scoreboard this season! Adam has plenty of potential to become a great player and team leader. Keep it up, Adam! Shane Burns was another great choice for captain this season. He works hard during practice and especially during games. He helps keep the team motivated, focused, and moving forward. Shane is the type of player who can set the bar high for others to follow as we continue through the season. Keep in mind, we’ve only just started - but I know Shane is going to give us a great season! Fisher “Brave” Raber is a player who has worked extremely hard this season and last season, and you can clearly see the progress he has made. I’ve been really impressed with his performances so far. He takes on challenges with a smile and maintains a great attitude. His determination, patience, and willingness to keep going are awesome qualities to see in a player. Keep pushing, Fisher - you’re showing what happens when you refuse to give up!
