LET US NEVER FORGET SETH MITCHELL SCHOLARSHIP

Seth Mitchell was born in Charlotte NC and lived in that area until he was 11 years old. As a child, Seth participated in sports and school activities and loved water sports such as skiing and tubing. As a young boy Seth wanted to be a pilot. Seth had a huge collection of planes. He even had them hanging from the ceiling in his room. Seth was usually seen with some sort of plane or helicopter on his shirts.

When Seth and his family moved to Loveland, he continued his dream of flying by taking his first “solo” flight at the Waynesville, OH air field. Seth flew in a glider plane for his 12th birthday. The instructor let Seth take the controls as the glider sailed through the air. He was Hooked! At Loveland Middle School, Seth got his first taste of organized football. Seth graduated from Loveland High School where he played football; pole vaulted for the track team, was a member of the student council and elected class president for 1997. Seth called Loveland home because that is where he developed lifelong friendships and the skills, talent and character traits that guided his life. One turning point in Seth’s life was getting involved with Student Venture, the high school ministry of the Campus Crusade for Christ. Seth found his spiritual compass and developed leadership skills that would serve him well in future endeavors.

After high school Seth enrolled at Virginia Tech and the ROTC program. Seth was a member of Echo Company. He earned a ROTC scholarship after his freshman year and became the executive officer of Golf Company during his senior year. He was a member of the German Club, Ring Design Committee and member at large for the Class of 2001. After graduation, Seth entered the Marine Corp Office Candidate School.

Graduation from OCS, 2nd Lt Mitchell was assigned to Camp Lejuene, NC. While at Camp Lejuene he served tours in Okinawa, Haiti and Iraq as part of an infantry unit. Seth was promoted to 1st Lt. and on November 1st 2005 he achieved the rank of Captain. Growing up he had dreamed of becoming a pilot but did not qualify for the military aviation program due to his eyesight. After corrective eye surgery and while stationed at Camp Lejuene Captain Mitchell achieved his private pilot’s license. Due to his determination, Captain Mitchell beat long odds and was awarded a Marine Aviation training spot after four years in the Corp. Captain Mitchell began flight training in Pensacola FL, earning his wings in May 2007. He later qualified to fly the AH-1 Super Cobra Helicopter. Captain Mitchell had achieved and was living his dream of serving his country as a Marine aviator. Captain Mitchell loved to fly and did so during his second tour in Iraq in 2008. In very typical fashion, Captain Mitchell volunteered to report early to duty in Afghanistan to assist a unit short on manpower.

Captain Seth Mitchell, 30, was killed October 26, 2009 when two helicopters collided while supporting combat operations in Afghanistan’s Helmand province. Captain Mitchell was assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367, Marine Aircraft Group 39, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based out of Camp Pendleton, California.

LARRY HAWK MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

Larry moved to Loveland when he was a freshman in High School. He was a 3 sport athlete and a pretty good one at that. Although he and his family moved back to Lynchburg just before his senior year and he graduated from there, he moved back to Loveland shortly after graduation and lived his entire life here. He was always involved in the city, especially with regard to sports and recreation.

He coached numerous little league baseball teams, basketball teams and even umpired many years.

He was part of the boosters back in the 70’s and 80’s; back then it was known as the Quarterback Club. In 1979 or 1980, the football field was in bad shape and the school didn’t have the resources to get it repaired. He owned a landscaping business at the time so he took it upon himself to get it re-sodded. He rounded up all the volunteers, including most of the football team and got it done. He also drove the construction of the ticket booth building at the old high school. It is gone now but was a nice concrete block building painted orange and black which stood at the fence line between the parking lot and the field.

In the 90’s, he served on Loveland Council for two terms. He was vice mayor in his second term and was on the Recreation Board for years. He loved sports, especially Loveland sports – coaching, promoting, or just talking about it. He was constantly driving the city to improve its parks. He was instrumental the renovation of McCoy Park, getting Phillips Park built, the lights put up, and the basketball court put in there. He helped get the land for Boike Park, and part of that set aside for the LYF football field. He was a huge proponent of having a YMCA go in at Phillips Park. The plans were drawn up and the Y was on board but ultimately it didn’t get approved. He was always full of ideas of how to promote Loveland sports. In the early 90’s, he went to Warner Cable and got them to allow him to use some of their equipment – camera’s and recorders, and he created the “Loveland Sports Machine” with Jeff Wagner as host that aired on the local access channel. I’m not sure how many episodes were created or aired but that was a lot of fun for him. I think Wags got a kick out of it too, especially interviewing the only mother-daughter BenGal cheerleaders in Bengal history.

One of the last things I remember him doing before his health started failing was to help bring about the Matt Hamill celebration, the event at Nisbet Park and the signs made up that went under the “welcome to Loveland” signs at the corporations limits that say, “Home of Matt Hamill”. In March 2014, only 5 months before his death, he was awarded the Louis Rockwood Award by the City of Loveland recognizing his lifetime of commitment and achievement for the city and its youth sports & recreation programs.

In October of 2014, two months after his death, the Loveland Athletic Boosters announced that a scholarship would be given in his name in the spring of 2015 honoring Larry and thanking him for his contribution and dedication to youth sports.

This year the scholarships of $1,000 will be awarded to: Evan Burig and Margaret Policastro.
