Jeff Reese Very Impressed Coach Stan McCoy

(Editor's Note: This letter was sent to Loveland Middle School Principal, Chris Burke by parent, Jeff Reese.)

Dear Mr. Burke,

It would be great if you could make an announcement about the Orange Team’s victory over rival Kings 8^th grade team last night. The team beat Kings 33-32 in overtime as Drew Austin banked in a three-point shot at the buzzer. Disney couldn’t have written a better script!

This has been Jonathan Reese’s second year on the Orange Team, and our family has been very impressed with the job coach Stan McCoy does to teach teamwork, good sportsmanship, and basketball to the boys. The progress this year’s team made between the first game when they got blown out by Hamilton County Math and Science to last night’s finale has been incredible. The method that he uses to divide the squad into three even units and give each team and each person equal playing time is commendable and truly makes it so each person (17 of them this year) is an integral part of the team’s success. It must have been tempting in overtime of the final game to put his best five players on the court to secure victory, but coach McCoy played each of the 3 squads for one minute of the three-minute OT.

I realize that the Orange Team doesn’t get as much publicity as the 8^th grade and 7^th grade A teams, but Coach McCoy’s program is an incredible asset for your school.

Best regards,

Jeff Reese

Loveland High School’s Kody Griffin Commits to Mt Union College

Loveland, Ohio - Loveland High School senior lacrosse standout Kody Griffin decided to change direction as a high school sophomore, picking up a longpole and switching to defense.  It has worked out well for Kody as the senior defenseman for the Division I Tigers recently committed to the play for Coach P.J. Kavanagh at the University of Mt. Union (NCAA DIII) in Ohio.

“Ever since I started playing lacrosse, I’ve loved it”, Griffin said. “The amount of excitement I have to play at the next level is unbelievable.  It’s something that was never on my mind when I started playing.  That just goes to show you how fun lacrosse is”. 

Griffin had his choice of colleges, choosing between Havover College, Shenandoah University, Carthage College, and Mt. Union.  

“I chose the University of Mt. Union because they have an outstanding campus and academics.  Coach Kavanaugh really knows what he’s doing. And the facilities at Mt. Union are phenomenal,” Griffin said. ‘It’s a fantastic school. They have a 60% all-sports combined winning percentage, and that’s the kind of environment I want to be around and be part of”. 

Heading into his senior season, Griffin reflected on his success as an integral part of the Tigers defensive core.  

“I’m sad to leave the Tigers, but I’m anxious and excited to take my game to the next level”, Griffin said. “I started my freshman year not having any idea what I would do, and now I’m committing to a DIII school. The environment the Loveland coaches and players provided allowed me to excel to a tremendous level.  Because of them, I’ve made it this far.”  

A two-sport athlete, Griffin has earned varsity letters in both lacrosse and football. In 2011, Griffin scooped 79 groundballs for an average of 4.2 per game.  One in a long line of offensive-minded defenseman that’s a hallmark of Loveland’s style, Griffin is not afraid to use his athleticism to push the ball up the field. Coached by Mark Lynch, Griffin was chosen varsity captain as a junior and earned Honorable Mention All-Region. Off the field, Griffin also excels in the classroom, carrying a 3.6 GPA and has been recognized for his academics with High Honor Roll.

“Kody is a great athlete who was often assigned to cover our opponent’s top offensive player,” Coach Lynch said. “He’s only scratched the surface of his potential, and we believe he’ll do great things on the field and in the classroom at Mt. Union.”

Kody Griffin will now prepare himself for his final season with the Tigers and his future with the Mt Union Purple Raiders.

Tigers Topple Kings Knights

Loveland, Ohio - The Loveland Tigers won a 45-44 thriller in overtime against the Kings Knights on a last second shot by Loveland's Bryson McGillis.

For the Love of the Game

He has reached a milestone few have attained.  UC Clermont College head men’s basketball coach John Hurley says he has done a lot of reflecting on his career, since his Cougar squad gave him his 900^th coaching win in December 2011.  Even after 40 plus years of coaching, Hurley is still going strong.  “I do it for the love of the game,” he said, during a recent practice of his squad on the UC Clermont College campus.  “I have a passion for basketball.  I have really enjoyed working with the many young men who have played for me.”

Hurley, who lives in Clermont County, helped launch the Cincinnati State basketball program, where he achieved over 550 wins in his 26 year tenure.  He also has coached at Ohio University and Milford High School.  Hurley has spent the past eight years at UC Clermont, where he has led his teams to numerous regional championships and in 2008, the United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Championship.

What makes a good basketball player?  “Someone who really loves the game,” said Hurley.  “I look for a player with good character, and a strong worth ethic in the classroom and on the court.”  Hurley wants his team to be challenged; this year they have played five NCAA DII teams in a row, including Northern Kentucky University.  “I think we competed pretty well,” said the coach, who added that he would like to see UC Clermont basketball become either a NCAA Division III or an NAIA program

Loveland High School Basketball Update

by Ricky Mulvey        

The Loveland Men’s Basketball team is off to a slow start after falling in three straight. The first loss came in a tight game against McNicholas with a score of 66-60. The game was extremely close and after the 3rd quarter Loveland was trailing by a single point. However, McNicholas put together a 22 point 4th quarter to extinguish any hope of Tiger victory. Loveland was led by senior Anthony LaMacchia who scored nearly half the Tiger’s total points with 29, and sophomore Reid Waddell who had 4 steals. On the other side, McNicholas’s Drew Hall put up 26 points. LaMacchia was 6 for 13 from the three-point circle and 5 for 6 from the charity stripe. He also had 3 steals.

On the following Friday, the Tigers traveled to Kings where they lost 78-59 against the Knights. With 15 points and 5 rebounds, Cole Schafer led the Tigers. The Knights on the other hand were led by Tommy Schnee who had 14 points and Zach Brashear who snagged 7 rebounds along with putting up 10 points.

The Tigers toughest loss came against the Indian Hill Braves this past Saturday in a 61-35 defeat. Anthony LaMacchia, Austen Funke, and Reid Waddell each had 7 points. Things went south immediately for the Tigers against the Braves. By the end of the 1st quarter, Indian Hill had more than quadrupled the Tiger’s score. However, the fans remained positive, and a good chunk of them remained in Loveland High School by the end of the game.

The Tigers look to bounce back in a home match-up against Glen Este this Tuesday. The Trojans will be led by Senior guard Alex Fultz who has put up a total of 87 points in his first 3 games.

The Girls are on a two game winning streak to even up their record at 2-2. Their most recent victory came in a 45-40 defensive grudge match against Little Miami. It was tight for the beginning of the game; however Loveland broke away in the 2nd with an 18 point quarter. The Tigers were led by Rachel Baker, Anna Niemeyer, and Ariel Fischer who all had points in the double digits.

The Girl’s next home game is this Saturday at 1PM against the Wilmington Hurricane.

Loveland High School’s Jeff Zidron Discusses Competitive Balance in Sports

Change Not in Near Future

Loveland, Ohio - In this LOVELAND MAGAZINE HD VIDEO Loveland High School Athletic Director, Jeff Zidron talks with Sports Reporter, Ricky Mulvey about the recent decision of the Board of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA ) that no changes be made at the current time to change the way high schools are assigned to State tournament play. Even though under the current system Loveland must compete against schools three times their size, Loveland joined others in voting against the proposed changes. Zidron explains why.

Based on data received from a survey with member school principals this fall, the Board accepted a recommendation from the OHSAA’s Competitive Balance Subcommittee that no changes be made to the current system.

Last May, the membership voted down a referendum proposal that would have allowed the OHSAA to use a new formula to assign schools to divisions. The formula, if approved, would have taken into account the school’s enrollment along with three factors, including how students are obtained (boundary factor), a socioeconomic aspect, and success in postseason play during the last four years. The Competitive Balance Subcommittee will reconvene in April 2012, but no proposal is expected to be made for member schools to vote on during the May 2012 referendum voting period.

In announcing their decision, the Board said, “The subcommittee strongly supports the OHSAA’s decision to form a Division I Committee, which will study possible solutions to the wide disparity in enrollment between the smallest and largest Division I schools that occurs within the Association’s tournament structure.” Loveland High School competes in Division I.

 

“The Hammer” Actor in Contention for NAACP Image Award

by Ricky Mulvey

Actor Michael Anthony Spady who played “Jay” in “The Hammer” (or “Hamill the Movie”) is looking to be nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Best Supporting Actor.  The movie is about Loveland native and Loveland High School graduate, Matt Hamill.

This would be huge, not only for Spady, or “The Hammer,” but the entire deaf community. If he wins, he would be the first deaf person to take home the award. However, him making history should not overshadow his performance, which is worthy of accolades in itself. When I spoke with Spady he said “It is my dream (to win this award.) I have worked hard, and put in a lot of passion to get here, and I couldn’t be prouder.”

Producer Eben Kostbar is pushing for him too, “He is such a good actor that he beat out every other Caucasian actor who auditioned for the role (Note: the film is a biopic and he plays a person who in real life is Caucasian)… Michael nailed the role of Jay Jakubowski.” Michael was able to overcome being typecast to put on a stunning performance, and all who saw the film were pleased he got the job. 

There are several ways to help Spady win this prestigious award. On Facebook, you can write on the NAACP Image Awards wall at http://www.facebook.com/naacpimageaward to show your support. If you’re on twitter, tweet @naacp or @naacpimageaward using #imageaward.

$515,500 Tiger Turf Paid in Full

Loveland, Ohio - On September 30 before the kickoff of the football game at Tiger Stadium, the Loveland Athletic Boosters announced that they had paid off the debt on installing the “Tiger Turf”.

In a ceremonial “Burning the Mortgage” their debt was torn into pieces and tossed into the Fall air.

The $515,500 cost of the installation was a gift to the school system and athletes and no cost was incurred to the District budget. The campaign started in May of 2008. At that time the Boosters said, “In fact the turf will save the District money by reducing the high cost of maintaining a grass surface, and eliminate the need throughout the entire community of building more athletic playing and practice fields. The new playing surface can be used 24/7, 12 months of the year by athletic and other community events.” The turf field surface will serve over 10,000 Loveland students over its expected life-span.

In this LOVELAND MAGAZINE HD VIDEO you will see the pre-game ceremony, and Booster President Jeff Williams and Booster Treasurer Art Jarvis talking about how the project was paid for in such a short amount of time, during the height of “The Great Recession.” Both Williams and Jarvis give credit to the generosity of the entire community.

Loveland Women's Varsity Soccer Fall to Mason

by Dave Stejback

Tuesday 10/24/11: The Lady Tigers were trying to avenge a regular season 2-0 loss at the hands of  Mason in their 3rd round tournament play. Loveland scored first in the 16th minute when Hannah Moloney chipped a ball over a defender to Rachel Baker who was able to lob the ball over the Mason goal keeper to take the 1-0 lead.  Each team had a couple of good opportunities but at halftime the score was Loveland 1 and Mason 0.  Loveland was hanging on to the 1-0 lead until the 78th minute when a Mason player was able to collect the ball behind the Loveland defense and tie the game at one and send the contest into overtime.  Thirteen minutes into the first overtime period a Mason player centered the ball into the Loveland goal area and when the Loveland player went to clear the ball it was miss-hit and resulted in an own goal.  Loveland lost the contest 2-1.  Final season record was 10-6-2.
