WEEK ENDING AUGUST 30

West Clermont volleyball Athlete of The Week goes to Kyleigh Cummins. Kyleigh has begun off this Wolves' season hot with 10 kills and 15 digs, continuing to earn that all-around position! 

Kings eighth-grade football player Charlie Harris worked extremely hard on both sides of the ball this week, trying to bulldoze his way for more yards, while also trying to shut down Lebanon's run and pass game.  Unfortunately, Kings lost a hard-fought game in the final seconds on Wednesday night.

This week's Loveland seventh-grade football Athlete of the Week is Paxton Busemeyer for his hard work and dedication to his teammates on both sides of the ball. His effort and attitude has been consistent since day one, and he has been a player his teammates can lean on. In his first two games, Paxton has two receiving touchdowns and an interception. Great job Pax!

Braylon Sorn is our Athlete of the Week for the Lebanon eighth-grade football team. Braylon caught a pair of TDs and ran an additional touchdown in for the Warriors in a 22-16 victory over Kings. He also had multiple tackles on defense. 

Cam Middleton is an outstanding talent for the Walnut Hills football squad. The eighth grader threw a 60-yard touchdown pass, ran for another touchdown, had least 100 yards rushing, and an interception to seal the game against West Clermont. He's a great and humble kid who works hard every day. 

Loveland recognizes Avarie Suter and Rex Robben for cross country Athletes of the Week for their stellar performances at the Moeller invitational. 

Milford cross country runners Ruthie Jasper and Noah Stiever were the top finishers for the Eagles, leading their teams at the Clark and Milford Invitationals this week.

Nagel eighth grader and returning ECC Champion Reese Prenger began the girls cross country season strong by winning the Milford Invitational with the time of 12:15.60.

Nagel eighth grade Blue Athlete of the Week is Ben Behan.  Ben plays quarterback and last week had two touchdown passes in our game against Milford. Ben is more than just a great quarterback, he is a natural leader both on and off the field.

Olivia Adamkosky served so well this week for the Nagel Blue seventh-grade squad.  On 13 attempts, she had three aces and NO errors. She has become a model of consistency for the team. Kate Walczewski has become our go-to hitter. She had four Kills in our tight match against Loveland. Kate is a 6-position player for our team and is trusted by all of her team.

Nagel eighth-grade Blue volleyball player Maddy Scott is a new addition to the Nagel family, but has jumped right in. Her positive attitude and great play helped her team, especially with all the injuries we have endured. Maddy is setting and hitting for the team and is a big part of the success we have had. Fellow eighth grader Gabby Zunze is beast at the net.  In our win against Loveland this week, Gabby had five kills and five blocks and many more touches; which is a huge part of the reason we took the win.

Kings seventh grade boys golfer Asher Reiss shot an impressive round at Clinton Massie, beating all participants with an impressive +7 score on Thursday.

WEEK ENDING AUGUST 23

Even in an injury-shortened performance, Kings football player Christian Chitwood was a standout player for the Knights' eighth-grade team.  Christian was all over the place on defense from his middle linebacker position, making multiple tackles for a loss and contributing to many other tackles.  Despite Christian's hustle and focus, the Knights couldn't overcome a very talented Winton Woods team.

Lewis Otto is the Nagel Blue eighth-grade football Athlete of the Week.  He contributed three touchdowns and several key tackles to help our team secure a shutout win over Loveland.

Kings boys Golfer of the Week is seventh grader Zach Wehrman.  Zach led all scorers against Nagel at Little Miami Golf Course on Tuesday and played exceptionally well at the Mariemont Invitational on Sunday. 

Nagel Blue seventh-grade volleyball lost both setters to injury within days of each other. Maddyn Henley and Olivia Stephens have stepped up to help out their team, by learning a new skill. Setting is a complex position, and they are working hard to catch up and get the team back on track.

Nagel eighth-grade Blue volleyball player Ava Braddock is a complete athlete who plays hard and goes all out for her team.  Ava plays all around for this team and is passionate and dedicated to helping her team be successful on the court.
