    Matt Huether studies stats to predict the outcome of Loveland High School sporting contests

     

    The Loveland Women are due to go into battle in a home court contest against the Turpin Spartans on Wednesday at 7:30 PM. Loveland won their first ECC go-around W 39 – 27 on December 2.

    6’2 Junior Center Courtney Henthorne

    For the Tigers (8-2, 15-2) from Loveland look for 6’2 Junior Center Courtney Henthorne to be an impact player. Courtney averages 6.5 points per game on 54.4% shooting. Courtney has put up 49 points in her last 5 games (9.8 a game).

    Look for Sophomore Forward Jillian Hayes, Jillian is shooting 50.3% from the field and is averaging 16.3 points a game.

    For the Spartans (4-6, 10-8), look for Junior Guard Ellie Holt, Ellie averages 13.1 points per game on 39.5% shooting. Look for Senior Guard Savanna Hazenfield who averages 8.2 points per game on 35.2 percent shooting. The first time these friendly conference foes played each other Savanna dropped 12 points on 5 of 14 shooting. 

    Overall Score Prediction: 41-30 Loveland

    Loveland is now second in the ECC, still behind Walnut Hills who are still undefeated in ECC competition.

    Tigers fall 49-38 to the Eagles

    by Todd Robinson,

    Milford, Ohio – The Loveland men’s basketball team traveled to Milford on January 23, taking on the Eagles. In front of a loud and boisterous Milford student section, the Tigers fell 49-38 to the Eagles. Milford never trailed the entire game.

    The Eagles jumped out to a 6-0 lead and held a 10-7 advantage after the first quarter. A Jalen Greiser field goal to start the second quarter pulled the Tigers to within 1 point, but that was the closest they’d get the rest of the night. The Eagles expanded their lead to 31-21 at the half. With Loveland point guard Brenton Foust leading an 8-3 run to close the third quarter, Tiger Nation was optimistic as the gap closed to 39-31 at the end of three. The Tiger momentum carried into the fourth quarter as Greiser scored the first five points of the final stanza to close the gap to 3 points. But Milford responded and slowly pulled away the balance of the quarter, taking the victory with a final score of 49-38.

    With the win, the Eagles earned a share of second place in the ECC. The loss dropped the Tigers to 5-9 overall and 3-5 in the ECC. Jalen Greiser led the Tigers with 22 points.

    Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland schools jazz program will hold its 19th annual Big Band Concert and Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser on Saturday, February 17, with performances by the two Loveland High School jazz bands and the Loveland Middle School (LMS) Stage Band.

    The Big Band Concert and Spaghetti Dinner is the primary fundraiser for the Loveland schools jazz program. Proceeds from the event directly fund trips to enhance the music education and experience for the high school jazz students. In addition to numerous excursions across the country over the years, the LHS jazz orchestra has performed on the U.S. Naval aircraft carrier Intrepid twice, has won the North American Music Festival and received honorable placements in other national competitions.

    The annual fundraising event was started in 2000 by then Superintendent Secretary Doris Osborne and Cheryl Maegly, wife of Bruce Maegly who taught music at Loveland Middle School for 35 years and reinstated the high school jazz program in the early 1990s. The high school bands are currently led by Jazz Band Director Matt Holt, and the LMS School Stage Band by Music Teacher Chris Huening. Current and former Loveland jazz band musicians have been selected as all-state musicians, to the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) District 14 Honor Bands, and as recipients of the Maegly Music Scholarship Award. The scholarship program was set up by the Loveland Music Boosters in 2014 to honor Mr. Maegly and his extensive contributions to the development of the music program at Loveland.

    [Photo Album] Tigers hang with #2 in State Division II

    by Todd Robinson

    Loveland, Ohio – Despite having the day off school due to the continuing arctic temperatures, the Loveland men’s varsity basketball team was in action Tuesday night. The Tigers hosted Archbishop McNicholas, the state’s #2 ranked team in Division 2. The Rockets entered the game with a perfect 11-0 record.

    McNich’s 55-41 victory over the Tigers set a new school record for the Rockets – the first time they have ever started a season with twelve consecutive wins.  But the McNicholas victory wasn’t easy, as the Tigers played one of their best games of the year. The Tigers surprised the Rockets and jumped out to an early 13-6 lead behind 6 points by Jalen Greiser and 5 by Matt Toigo. A Jeffrey Mains fast break layup midway through the second quarter gave Loveland a 20-14 lead. But the Rockets responded with a 15-0 run before Greiser hit a bucket at the end of the second quarter.

    Going into the locker room, the Rockets led the Tigers 29-22. Much to the delight of Tiger Nation and Rockets fans, the Kings Firecrackers performed their riveting jump rope show at the half, closing to a standing ovation by the appreciative crowd.

    Alex Soth opened the second half scoring with a field goal, cutting the Rocket lead to 5 points – the closest it would be the rest of the game.  McNicholas slowly build on their lead, expanding it to 40-29 at the end of 3 quarters. And despite intense Tiger defensive pressure in the fourth quarter, the Rockets remained undefeated with the 55-41 victory.

    Jalen Greiser led the Tigers with 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.  Matt Toigo had 11 points and Alec Soth had a game high 8 rebounds.  Loveland’s record is now 4-8. (2-4 in ECC).  Loveland hosts Turpin at Tiger Court on Friday night.
