Loveland, Ohio – Loveland High School’s Fall sports are upon us and this week we will be previewing Mens Golf, Womens Golf, and Womens Tennis. All three of the teams had successful fall seasons last year with men and women’s golf teams bringing home an ECC championship and Womens Tennis finishing as conference runner-up.
Womens Golf will look to rebuild this year after losing two first team all-conference athletes, Alejandra Bonet and Lindsay Bachmann, due to graduation. The team has a strong upperclassmen presence with Allison Roundtree and Samantha Skarda leading the way this season. Roundtree was First Team all ECC last year and Skarda was Second Team all ECC last season. During the preseason tournament Loveland (395) finished 4th behind Kings (341), Milford (351), and Turpin (378). The team’s next match is at Kings tomorrow at River’s Bend country club at 3:50 PM.
Mens Golf also lost many players due to graduation and will also look to rebuild. Juniors Jeffery Main and Scott Henke look to lead the team this season. Main was Second Team all ECC last season and has started this season off strong shooting rounds of 70, 71, 73, and 37. Main was Medalist at the ECC preview and Anderson dual match, second at the Anderson Invitational, and sixth at the Lakota East Invitational. Main’s strong start has him at a 35.85 stroke average for the season. During the preseason tournament Loveland (322) finished 4th behind Milford (305), Turpin (320), and Kings (321). The team’s next match is tomorrow versus St. Xavier at O’Bannon golf course at 4:00 PM.
Womens Tennis is off to a strong start this season. After finishing tied for conference runner-up last year the Loveland Womens Tennis team looks to knock off Turpin who is going for their 4th straight ECC championship this fall. The team has won their first two matches and upset CHCA, who is ranked #9 in the state. The team returns most of their starters from last season with the exception of Andrea Wittekind who graduated. Some big matches coming up are Walnut Hills on September 4th, Turpin on September 11th and St. Ursula on August 29th. Lastly, the ECC conference tournament will be held on September 25th at Lunken.

Alten earned just about every possible award a football player could receive during his senior season with the Oilers
Findlay, Ohio – Senior football player Andrew Alten was named the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Male Scholar Athlete of the Year, which was announced on July 10 by the league office.
Alten, a native of Loveland, Ohio, earned just about every possible award a football player could receive during his senior season with the Oilers and helped the team to their very first appearance in the NCAA Division II National Playoffs.
Alten secured All-American honors from D2Football.com, the Associated Press, the Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association (D2CCA) and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). He also picked up all-region accolades from the D2CCA and AFCA during his final year at Findlay.
The 2017 Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) Offensive Lineman of the Year, Alten was voted first team all-league as well.
While Alten had much success on the field, he was equally as impressive in the classroom. Alten carried a 3.91 grade point average and majored in computer science and math applied computer science. He also had a minor in information processing and is now a graduate student.

Former Loveland High School star and former University of Louisville outfielder Adam Engel had a large cheering section when he returned to play the Reds in Cincinnati Monday night.
CINCINNATI, Ohio (WDRB) — Adam Engel had five hits in three games at Texas last weekend. He went four-for-four against the Orioles in May, flashing the tools that convinced the Chicago White Sox to draft him out of the University of Louisville in 2013.
He has homered against Sonny Gray and Carlos Carrasco. Engel also launched one of his eight career home runs in Wrigley Field. Nothing gives a young White Sox player immediate acceptance in Chicago like a home run against the other team in town.
But Monday night, in his 172nd big-league game, Engel celebrated another moment for his baseball scrapbook:
His first game against the team that Engel supported before he arrived at U of L — the Cincinnati Reds.
Check the section along the third base line behind the White Sox dugout, especially the folks wearing gray “Adam Engel 15” T-shirts. More than 150 family members and friends from his hometown of Loveland, Ohio, about 20 minutes from Great American Ball Park, celebrated his arrival. There were fans wearing Louisville baseball caps and shirts in the group, too.
The fan club will grow Tuesday and Wednesday evenings when the White Sox and Reds play the final games of the three-game series. Engel’s Mom, Lynne, said she purchased more than 250 tickets for the Tuesday game — and sold all of them.
