  • Young innovators to watch – LHS students win national scholarship competition

    Young innovators to watch – LHS students win national scholarship competition

    “You’re changing people’s lives, you guys.” – CBS science reporter, David Welch Pogue

    by Staff Writer Sam Smith

    Las Vegas – It’s branded as “The Global Stage for Innovation” – and this year, two Loveland High School (LHS) students earned their place at the speaker platform. Seniors Emily Kiehl and Radu Vasilescu’s research project outshined hundreds of national project submissions, and the duo was selected as one of four scholarship-winning teams named “Young Innovators to Watch” by the Consumer Technology Association.

    The MC for the presentation was TV science presenter, writer and CBS science reporter, David Welch Pogue who asked questions to Kiehl and Vasilescu. Pogue proclaimed, “You’re changing people’s lives, you guys.”

    Kiehl and Vasilescu earned the opportunity to present their winning project at the 2018 Consumer Technology Association’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES), on January 11 in Las Vegas. The CES is an annual gathering of the world’s business leaders and pioneering thinkers, with more than 184,000 in attendance. Lenovo flew Keihl and Vasilesciu to the convention in Nevada and received a $1000 check.

    “Project Purple,” Kiehl and Vasilescu’s winning project, proposes a Virtual Reality treatment for Amblyopia, a medical condition that happens when the vision in one eye is reduced because the eye and the brain are not working properly.

    “This was personal to my family,” explained Kiehl, who suffers from Amblyopia. “I’ve spent a lot of my years in doctors’ offices learning about [it].”

    Watch the two present, starting at +2:08:

     

    Vasilescu and Keihl’s presentation audience

    Kiehl explained her medical situation to Vasilescu when the two students were working as lab partners during a freshman biology class. Kiehl had just undergone a recent eye surgery.

    “Our lab was on cells, and we were tinting the cells purple and learning about them under a microscope,” said Vasilescu. “Suddenly Emily looked up, stared me dead in the eye and said, ‘Is that purple?’ That was the first time she ever saw the color purple.”

    Fast forward a couple of years, and Project Purple was born at the University of Cincinnati’s RevolutionUC Hackathon, in April 2017. At the event, UC students formed over 40 teams and spent 24 hours competitively coding and developing projects.

    “We won first place overall at that hackathon with the prototype for Project Purple,” said Vasilescu. “That gave us the motivation to continue.” Out of 40 college teams, the high school project took home 1st place for having the most potential and being the most creative.

    As national scholarship winners, Vasilescu and Kiehl plan to use the scholarship money to purchase resources to continue their Virtual Reality research on real patients. After finalizing the prototype, they are seeking a couple of willing participants for their planned longitudinal case-study.

    “It is great to see students highly engaged in thinking about ways to solve problems,” said LHS teacher Phil Marchal, who mentors the students in their independent study course and supports their research and development. “Their project takes a relatively new technology and proposes a solution that potentially could make the lives of individuals better. What a neat learning experience.”

    by Todd Robinson

    January 2 at Withrow

    In a battle of Tigers on this Tuesday night, host Withrow knocked off the Loveland men’s basketball team 44-24. Loveland entered the game shorthanded, as three regular starters were out with injuries. Ultimately, a combination of a very active Withrow defense and a lack of Loveland scoring punch proved too much for visiting Tigers to overcome. Loveland took its only lead early in the game, 3-2, behind a Brady McCluskey trey. Battling hard, Loveland trailed 11-8 after the first quarter, but Loveland was able to score only 5 points in the second and third quarters combined, and that enabled Withrow to take a commanding 29-13 lead into the final quarter. Four quick points by Loveland to open the final quarter caused Tiger Nation to think about a comeback, but Withrow answered the challenge and finished with a 44-24 victory. Loveland’s overall record became 4-4 on the season and 2-2 in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference.

    January 5 hosting Anderson

    On a frigid Friday night, the Loveland men’s basketball team fell to the visiting Anderson  Redskins, 40-37, in an ECC league matchup. Ultimately, a poor first half doomed the Tigers. Scoring only 8 points in the first two quarters, Loveland dug itself a 25-8 halftime hole against the 2-7 Redskins. But Coach Reis got his players to turn it around in the second half. 

    After picking up their defensive intensity, the Tigers won the third quarter, 11-5, narrowing the gap to 30-19.

    A 13-6 run by the Tigers over the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, highlighted by 7 consecutive Jalen Greiser points, brought Loveland to within 4 coming down the stretch.  An Ian Cox bucket followed by an Alec Soth trey ignited an excited Tiger Nation and brought Loveland all the way back, tying the game 37-37 with 1:15 left in the game. Over the next 40 seconds, the Redskins took a 40-37 lead, knocking down three free throws from the charity stripe. The Tigers called a timeout with 28 seconds to play, looking to design a play to tie the game. But Anderson came out of the timeout in a zone defense for the first time all night – frustrating the Tiger attack. After a final Loveland timeout with 5 seconds left, Greiser’s desperation trey from 30 feet bounced off the rim and the Redskins took home the 40-37 victory.

    After being out 3 weeks with a foot injury, Greiser returned to action and led the Tigers with 13 points and 7 rebounds. Matt Toigo kicked in 9 points and Brenton Foust had 5 steals in an outstanding defensive effort. The loss dropped Loveland’s record to 4-5 (2-3 in the ECC). 

    January 6 at Sycamore

    Playing its second game in two nights, the Loveland men’s basketball team made the short trip to Sycamore, falling 52-42 to the Greater Miami Conference’s Aviators. With perimeter shooting continuing to be as cold as the arctic temperatures outside, the Tigers couldn’t overcome Sycamore’s balanced attack.

    The first half was a back-and-forth affair with both teams holding the lead several times.  The most exciting play of the half was a Loveland basket that didn’t count – as Tiger Brenton Foust launched a three quarter court shot that swished through the net a split second after time expired in the first quarter.  Ultimately, the two teams were tied 16-16 entering the halftime locker room.

    The Tigers opened the second half with a strong run, taking a 25-21 lead midway through the third quarter. But an 11-0 run by the Aves over the next 3 minutes gave Sycamore a lead they would never relinquish. 

    Entering the final quarter down 32-27, the Tigers cut the Aviator lead to 3 points several time early in the fourth quarter, but could never get that big basket to reclaim the lead.  Sycamore slowly pulled away down the stretch, topping the Tigers with a 52-42 final score. 

    Matt Toigo led the Tiger attack with 12 points. The Sycamore victory evened their record at 5-5.  The loss was Loveland’s fourth consecutive defeat, with an overall record of 4-6 (2-3 in ECC). .

    January 9 at Walnut Hills

    Loveland returned to action in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference Tuesday, traveling to Walnut Hills to take on the league leading Eagles. Despite a strong effort, the Tigers fell 69-50 to the Eagles. 

    In front of a small midweek Walnut Hills crowd, Loveland took an early 3-2 lead behind a Matt Toigo field goal and a Parker Carrigan free throw. But a 17-4 run by the Eagles gave them a lead they would never relinquish.

    At the half, Walnut Hills was up 29-18. With their strongest offensive half over the past  three games, Loveland cut the Eagles lead to 10 points several times in the third quarter.  Unfortunately, the Tigers could never close the gap to single digits, as  at one point in the third quarter, Walnut Hills countered was four consecutive treys.  

    The Tigers won the effort stats for the game, out-rebounding the taller Eagles and generating more steals, but Walnut Hills’ 51% shooting efficiency was the difference in their 69-50 victory.   

    Jalen Greiser led the Tigers with 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Matt Toigo knocked in 11 points. Jack Stewart earned the first varsity points of his career, hitting a trey late in the fourth quarter. Loveland’s record now stands at 4-7 (2-4 in ECC). 

    The Tigers host 7-3 West Clermont on Friday night, January 12 at 7:30 PM.

  • Walnut Hills hammers and hands Tigers 1st loss

    Walnut Hills hammers and hands Tigers 1st loss

    Loveland, Ohio – The physical, aggressive Walnut Hills defense, unchecked by the officials and unadjusted to by the Tigers took its toll in the Walnut Hills’ 2nd and 3rd quarter hammering on Wednesday. Final score 66-40. The Eagles’ 41 to 25 rebounding advantage, 6 blocked shots, 17 steals, and the Tiger’s 30 turnovers were also deciding.

    As would have been expected, the Eagles’ Kennedi Myles led all scores with 21 points and 15 rebounds. She leads the ECC in scoring average with 16.5.

    The league’s second-leading scorer, Tiger, Jillian Hayes (15.9) ended the game with 11 points and 9 rebounds. Courtney Henthorn scored 9, Kate Garry 8, and Colleen Swift scored 7.

    Loveland led by 1 at the end of the 1st quarter, but an unproductive 4-point 2nd was momentum losing when Walnut Hills scored 16. Walnut Hills upped the ante with a 22-9, 3rd quarter. Both teams played evenly in the fourth but the game had gotten out of hand with the Tigers down by 24 when it started.

    Walnut Hills, now undefeated in conference play took the top spot in the ECC away from Loveland (5-1, 10-1). West Clermont who Loveland hosts Saturday at 2 PM dropped the Tigers to 3rd with their 5-0 record after beating Anderson 64-32 on Wednesday.

    West Clermont is #6 and Loveland #7 in the Cincinnati Area Coaches Poll.

  • Stepping out of our comfort zone

    Stepping out of our comfort zone

    By David Knapp,

     “There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.” – Brené Brown

    At the Loveland City School District, our educators hold the growth and development of our students higher than anything else. We empathize with the needs of our students, our families and our community to do all that we can to ensure that we reach and grow every single one of our students. This is no small task, and to pull this off on a daily basis, it truly takes a village and also requires a little bit of magic. Not magic in the sense of the way of the Jedi or the stuff that happens at Hogwarts, but in the magic of stepping outside of our comfort zone from time to time to take on a new challenge. As we adapt to and embrace the changing needs of our students, innovation is the process that continues to allow us to do this. And true innovation requires failure… and grit.

    She told me she had failed – many, many times. But she never gave up.

    Our students “get it” – and, in my position, I have the amazing opportunity to learn from them daily. One young Innovation Lab student at Loveland High School recently stood out to me – she was exploring and learning the world of digital art creation. Working through intricate software programs, pen and stylus combinations, and a multitude of barriers to her success, I was in awe of the complex challenges that this student had taken on to fuel her creative passions.

    She told me she had failed – many, many times. But she never gave up. Her diligence led to works of art that she proudly showcased in a digital portfolio during our chat. Her resilience, laser-focus on her passions and her ability to step out of her comfort zone (on a consistent basis, I might add) allowed her to reach new heights. Pretty impressive stuff.

    So – how do we, as educators, help students like her? We step outside of our own comfort levels to make some magic.

    It is with great excitement that we announce the Innovative Classroom Grants for the 2017-18 school year. Continuing with the momentum started last year that awarded 11 grants across the Loveland City School District, and with the purpose of positively impacting student growth and achievement, we couldn’t be more excited to give all of our teachers this unique funding and professional learning opportunity. This year, our teachers will be encouraged to partner with students to create innovative solutions that focus on student-centered learning. We will also be working with our partners at the Xavier University Center for Innovation to support us in the ideation and refinement of these ideas through the process of design thinking.

    We cannot wait to see what Loveland teachers come up with this year to promote #TigerInnovation!

    David Knapp is the Director of Technology & Innovation for the Loveland City School District knappda@lovelandschools.org

    Keep an eye out this year for a special series of district stories (www.lovelandschools.org) that feature several of our 2016-17 Innovative Instructional Grant winners, and we look forward to sharing the results of this year’s applicants with you this winter.

    Your partner in innovation,

    [Photo Albums] Tiger Women and Men win varsity doubleheader over Knights

    Women now 7-0

    by Todd Robinson,

    Loveland, Ohio – In a rare Loveland basketball varsity doubleheader, the squads for both the women’s and men’s teams took on neighboring rival Kings at Tiger Court on Friday night. In front of an energetic and spirited near-capacity crowd, the Tiger roundballers didn’t disappoint. Both teams delighted a raucous Tiger Nation with exciting victories. The atmosphere with Loveland’s friendly rival was electric, as the floor-to-ceiling Tiger student section sported their ugly Christmas sweaters, the Kings student section was large and loud, the Tiger Pep Band was rocking, Tiger alumni were out in force, and the State Championship women’s soccer team was inducted into the Loveland Tiger Hall of Fame at halftime of the men’s game.

    State Championship women’s soccer team was inducted into the Loveland Tiger Hall of Fame at halftime of the men’s game.

    In the opening game, Loveland’s Coach Parker has the undefeated women playing an exciting full court game. Rotating his squad through 32 minutes of relentless defensive pressure, the Tigers wore down the Knights en route to a 50-36 victory. After taking a 26-18 lead to the halftime locker room, the Tigers sported a 15-5 third quarter run to fuel their win against a scrappy Kings team. The Loveland victory avenged a 2017 series sweep by the Knights. Tiger Kate Garry was honored as the NovaCare Player of the Game. The Lady Tigers remain undefeated at 7-0 (5-0 ECC) and travel to St. Ursula on Tuesday evening.

    In the second half of the twin bill, the Tigers men’s team extended their winning streak over the Knights to three games over two years with a hard fought 52-44 victory. With two starters out with injuries, the Tigers got off to a rocky start.  Loveland started with 5 consecutive turnovers and didn’t get their first shot up until over three minutes into the game. Kings leveraged 7 total first quarter Tiger turnovers to jump out to an 11-5 lead after the opening stanza.

    Three consecutive treys to start the second quarter, the first by Alec Soth, and the next two by Matt Toigo energized the Tigers and the crowd. The Tigers outscored the Knights 23-9 in the second quarter, giving Loveland a 28-20 halftime lead.

    After senior Brady McCluskey opened the third quarter with a three and extended the Tiger lead to 11, the Knights fought their way back into the game. Despite junior Gabe Rubio’s six straight points in the middle of the quarter, the Knights closed their deficit to two points, 39-37, at the end of three quarters.

    A Knight trey to open the fourth quarter gave Kings a 40-39 lead, their first since the second quarter, but a Toigo field goal put the Tigers back on top, a lead they would not relinquish the rest of the way. However, the Knights made it interesting down the stretch. A Knights bucket with 52 seconds left cut the Tiger lead to 46-44. With fouls to give, Kings fouled on three consecutive plays. On the fourth out of bounds play, the Tigers called a quick time out under frantic Knights defensive pressure as both sides scrambled for the basketball. Coming out of the timeout, Kings fouled Alec Soth. Now in the bonus, Soth calmly knocked down two free throws. A Tiger steal lead to two McCluskey free throws. And two more free throws with 7 seconds remaining closed out the game for the Tigers, with the final score 52-44.

    The Tigers were led by senior Brady McCluskey with 17 points. Sophomore Alec Soth kicked in 10 points and 6 rebounds. Matt Toigo scored 10 points. Brady McCluskey was awarded the NovaCare Player of the Game. 

    The Men improved their record to 3-2 (2-1 ECC) and host Little Miami on Tuesday evening.
