Loveland, Ohio – As many LHS Fall athletes wrap up their seasons and collect their accolades, the Winter athletes are preparing for what they hope to be a very successful 2019-2020 season!
So what do all us Tiger fans look forward to after the big Thanksgiving feast? The beginning of basketball season! LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV took a trip back down Tiger Trail to visit with the Men’s Basketball coach, Rob Reis, and the Women’s Basketball coach, Darnell Parker, to talk about just why they are excited about the season. With the Men’s and Women’s Tiger programs coming off successful seasons last year, both coaches agreed that this could be the year that both their teams and their players change school history. If that doesn’t make you excited to see some hard nose Tigers compete I don’t know what does!
Introducing the Loveland Sports 411 with Cassie Mattia featuring LHS’s Men’s Basketball coach, Rob Reis, and LHS’s Women’s Basketball coach Darnell Parker! Click on the video below to check out the full-length interview!
Loveland Schools College and Career Counselor Drews Mitchell presented about Tiger Steps Ahead at the Board of Education business meeting on October 15
Loveland, Ohio – Over the past year, students have been placed in internships with several local companies and organizations, including First Star Logistics, the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, NEST Learning Center, Whistle Stop Clay Works, and Loveland Magazine. Career shadowing opportunities have been created at Real Link, Bond Furniture, Festo and Lifeboat Digital Media.
To prepare students for higher education and career choices, the Loveland City School District has launched Tiger Steps Ahead ̶ a program allowing students a systematic approach to career advising. Starting with activities as early as sixth grade, Tiger Steps Ahead offers students career exploration, internship opportunities, career shadow experiences, and lunch and learn sessions with local professionals to help them hone in on their strengths, interests, and passions.
“We are excited to see the increased engagement and use of career planning tools by our students in sixth through twelfth grade,” said Loveland Schools College and Career Counselor Drews Mitchell. “Using advisory time for career assessments at school helps students better understand their personal strengths and gives them research opportunities to assist them in planning for high school and beyond. The follow-up to the career assessments also creates more awareness of potential academic pathways available right here at Loveland.”
Ricky Mulvey recently won the Region 4 Mark of Excellence Award for collegiate journalism. Mulvey was Loveland Magazine’s 1st paid student intern. Stipends for our paid student interns have been provided through the generous support of Jarvis Global Investments since 2008 when Mulvey was in 8th grade. This photo was from 2012 when Mulvey reported for Loveland Magazine at a campaign rally in Eden Park when Barak Obama was running for President.
Academic pathways have been accessible to students at Loveland Schools for several years and serve as guiding maps for students as they explore personal career interests and make connections to their course sequencing. The district has clearly defined pathways for a list of careers, and partnerships with local colleges and universities that can expedite a student’s chosen path. Academic pathways define core requirements and provide resources for extended learning opportunities, including internships and job shadowing experiences.
While Tiger Steps Ahead is an intentional progression of traditional academic counseling services, it also allows student input data to impact the planning of future programs and courses at Loveland Schools:
“When planning for program expansion and course offerings in the district, it’s critical that we align them with potential career pathways for our students,” said the district’s Director of Teaching and Learning Andrea Conner. “The knowledge of trends in student choices gives us valuable information to make purposeful decisions, while also making us better equipped to support our students in their post-secondary planning.”
Loveland, Ohio – It’s that time of year where we sit down with our families, consume too much turkey, and curate a mental list for what we are thankful for. It begins with your mom, your dad, even your grandma who lives in Florida, and the list goes on…
While some bask in this holiday’s traditions, others cannot wait for the Christmas preparations that will soon follow. In Loveland High school, students are “wrapping” up their studies to finally enjoy their long-awaited five-day break. To celebrate I went through the hallways to ask them the season’s most popular question “What are you grateful for?” but there was a catch; they cannot say, family or friends. Despite this difficulty, it opened up the hearts and minds of seventeen students, who shared with us what they appreciated around them in their lives.
With answers from Megan Atkins, Dahlia Kressler, Livia McClellan, Eli Metzger, Noelle Cotter, Kathleen Tepe, Courtney Kunysz, Madeline Killon, Samantha James, Erin Dickman, Ethan Libby, Marisa Kelley, Ryan Smith, and Mitchell McMannis, we began the time for expressing our gratitude and sentiments to each other.
Loveland, Ohio –The “Loveland” Little Miami Bike Trail offers something for everyone. Whether you like to ride bikes, eat at authentic family-owned restaurants, shop at vintage antique shops, or drink locally handcrafted beers, the bike trail in Loveland allows everyone to enjoy doing what they love to do. Historic downtown has been quickly transforming into a place where families and friends can come and have a vacation like experience in their own backyard. We at Loveland Magazine call it, “The Staycation Resort of Southwest Ohio”. Naturally, business owners have recognized this about downtown Loveland, brought their own businesses into the historic area, and this is why it is thriving.
Bringing to Loveland the delicious snacks that she has made for her family for so many years is the vision she has for her new shop!
Over the past couple of years, downtown Loveland has seen several family-owned businesses plant their feet right in the heart of downtown making the area that much more unique. As new and exciting businesses continue to join the historic downtown area businesses coming in looking to join the area have realized in order to thrive now in the area you have to offer something unique. Finding that particular “niche” the community doesn’t know it needs but in all actuality wants is how new businesses are making a name for themselves. Coming in sweet, salty and always fresh the “Loveland” Little Miami Bike Trail introduces to you the community of Loveland, “Trailside Provisions.”
What’s that lingering scent on the Loveland Little Miami Bike Trail? I’m not talking about the delicious smell of brunch or even something sweet like the scent of beautiful Fall leaves, I’m talking something savory. The smell of something buttery, caramelized and decadent led me to a new business right off the Loveland bike trail where “Plaid Room Records” used to call home. “Trailside Provisions,” just opened their doors to the community on Saturday, November 16th and let me tell you the shop’s lingering smells are bringing people in to see what the new “mom and pop” shop is all about!
Check out the handcrafted Double Dipped Chocolate Peanuts and Triple Dipped Malted Milk Balls at “Trailside Provisions”
Vickie Larcomb, began her journey in historic downtown Mason, Ohio at a shop very similar to the concept of Trailside Provisions called “Main Street Sweets and Popcorn.” Larcomb shared that she always had a passion for cooking whether it was creating a whole new “treat,” like the peanut butter caramel popcorn or sticking to more traditional “provisions,” such as the chocolate malted milk balls (and yes they are TRIPLE DIPPED in chocolate), she always enjoyed creating! After much success with her family-run business, Main Street Sweets and Popcorn, Larcomb knew that the shop concept was something that could be used in places similar to downtown Mason. Larcomb said she had heard about the historic downtown Loveland area and all the wonderful growth and development the area had been experiencing. She immediately recognized the similarities between Mason’s downtown area and Loveland’s downtown area and began to think of a “niche” that would fit right into the historic downtown Loveland culture. That’s when the Trailside Provisions concept was born!
“Trailside Provisions” offers gourmet Pancake Mix Kits, decadent Maple Syrup, and a unique snack called Maple Wafers!
Larcomb thought why not keep the concept of Main Street Sweets and Popcorn, but add a little “trailside” flare to it as the location she had her eye on was right off the Loveland bike trail. Larcomb brought the idea to her family and from there Larcomb and her family established a new home for their business, Trailside Provisions. After months of planning, building, and creating Larcomb says she can’t wait to see how the community responds to the new shop!
Owner, Vickie Larcomb, makes a fresh batch of buttered popcorn something she does daily! Yes, that popcorn is as big as it looks!
So just what is this new shop off the bike trail all about? Well for starter’s Larcomb’s husband, Ron, handcrafted all of the store’s fixtures, giving each guest that comes in quite the woodsy, trail-like experience. On top of getting treated to the top-notch interior architectural ambiance, guests also get to enjoy the aroma of fresh buttery popcorn being made right there in the shop as they walk around. Trailside Provisions, of course, offers a number of unique, whole made goods, but what really sets this shop apart is the gourmet popcorn. From caramel with pecans to caramel with peanuts to cinnamon toast caramel, Trailside Provisions has a popcorn combination for everyone not to mention the shop makes their “original” caramel, cheese, and butter popcorns fresh every day. Eat it in the shop, while walking the trail, or take it home for movie night or your next party.
Husband and wife, Vickie and Don, organizing their “sweet” provisions on shelving handcrafted by Don
Larcomb and her family’s shop doesn’t just stop at popcorn, it also sells a variety of Cook Tavern Soup mixes, seasoning and marinade kits, homemade vanilla marshmallows, bagged and freshly brewed coffee, and other “provisional” snacks such as pretzels and chocolate almonds. Oh, and did I mention Larcomb handcrafts all of these sweet and salty treats herself?! I asked Larcomb why she enjoys cooking so much and she said that cooking for her loved ones has always been something she has enjoyed. Larcomb explained that being able to provide the community of Loveland with the delicious snacks that she has made for her family for so many years is quite frankly the vision she has for her new shop!
So what are you waiting for Loveland? Bike, walk, or jog on down to Trailside Provisions, a shop where you will be sure to get the Loveland “trailside” experience!
Trailside Provisions (Facebook) is located on the East side of the Brown Building at 120 Karl Brown Way in Historic Downtown Loveland off the Little Miami Bike Trail. Trailside Provisions is open 10 a.m to 8 p.m Tuesday through Thursday, 10 a.m to 9 p.m Friday and Saturday, and 12 p.m to 5 p.m on Sundays.

The 8 semi-finalists were selected by the John Mackey Award Selection Committee through confidential balloting. The recipient will be announced on December 11th and presented live December 12th at The Home Depot Red Carpet Show at 6 PM ET on ESPNU.
The Western Michigan Football program recently spoke about Ricci’s impressive sports resume.

This story produced by WOUB Public Media in Athens, Ohio is about the newly released film by Loveland native and Loveland High School graduate, Dean Parker, Call the Shot. Parker, an award-winning filmmaker is currently studying Integrated Media Production at Ohio University’s Scripps College of Communication. Parker was an intern at Loveland Magazine.
OU Student Produced Film ‘Call the Shot’ Coming to Athena Nov. 9
Being a student at Ohio University, there’s ample opportunity to create and collaborate with others, especially when you’re nestled in the foothills of Appalachia- inspiration is everywhere. For some, this means working on passion projects with a group of talented students and making dreams become a reality.
Call the Shot, a short film set to premiere this weekend at the Athena, was written, produced and edited by Ohio University students. Raan Shalom wrote the screenplay, and Dean Parker, Mackenzie Keaton, and Josh Lehrfeld produced the film. Parker also directed and edited the film. The film tells the story of the life-defining conversation a suicidal bar patron has with the bartender.
Loveland, Ohio– These are the remarks St. Columban student, Paul Laufersweiler delivered as the keynote address at the Loveland Veterans’ Memorial on Memorial Day on November 11.
Veteran’s Day this year was another one for the books as fully uniformed St. Columban students marched down Oakland Road to the Loveland Veterans’ Memorial, located at the corner of Riverside and West Loveland. In honor of St. Columban’s Annual Walk for Local Veterans dozens of 7th and 8th-grade students from St. Columban School gathered around the Loveland Veterans’ Memorial with local veterans as a service was conducted in their honor.
We take time this morning to remember all of those who have served the United States of America, especially those from the Loveland community, to whom this memorial is dedicated.
Today there is, and perhaps there will always be, conflict in the world. But the United States, fortunately, enjoys peace and freedom.
Like other things of great value, this security did not come cheaply. Americans, who answered the call to military duty when their country needed them, have already paid part of the cost.
But another part of freedom’s cost must continue to be paid long after the weapons have been silenced. This debt is owed to our American veterans.
Some need their country’s help, even as their country once needed theirs. Often they need to readjust, to recover from wounds or to overcome hardships of age and infirmity. Most need and ask nothing in repayment for their sacrifices.
Let us continue to help those veterans in need with the greatest possible compassion, concern, and care. To these, since they ask no special thanks, we can best pay tribute this day by recognizing what they have achieved and joining them in their resolve to keep America strong and free.

Loveland, Ohio – The Tigers’ 2019 Fall Sports Season marked one of the most successful Fall Sports Seasons in school history with 5 ECC Champions, 4 ECC Coaches of the Year and 2 ECC Athletes of the Year. With all of these accolades, this puts the Loveland Tigers in the number one spot in running for the All-Sports Trophy.
At the Fall Sports Awards ceremony on Wednesday, November 13 Athletic Director, Brian Conatser was sure to give praise to both the coaches and athletes for their designated seasons as he shared what each coach had written with the near-capacity crowd in the high school gym.
Coaches Highlights of the Fall Season – “Told through their own words…”
Cheer Team Accolades by Coach Emily Christman
Our cheer team had a fun, spirited, and successful season that all started at our annual summer camp. All three teams took home awards in the cheer, chant, band dance, and Game Day competition categories. We also had nine athletes selected for the honor of UCA All- American (Shelby Cline, Hannah Powers, Amy Keyser, Emma Scott, Caroline Staley, Courtney Keyser, Ellie Steinbrunner, and Anya Winfield. In addition to these awards, the entire program took home the coveted “Top Banana!” Although the name sounds silly, the award is given to the team or program who demonstrated exceptional skill, spirit, leadership, and enthusiasm throughout the entire 3-day camp.
During the season, the girls on all three teams demonstrated pride and commitment to this program all season long. Led by our seniors, the girls embraced the idea of being an ambassador for their school and that being a cheerleader is about more than just cheering on the sidelines. The vision statement of our program is to: Be a good cheerleader, but a great person. And the coaches this year believe these young ladies, especially our seniors, really demonstrated that this year!

Men’s Soccer Accolades by Coach Mike Dunlap
The Men’s soccer team finished the season 13-5. During the 16 game regular season the Tigers played 11 teams that were at one time ranked in the top 10 in either Cincinnati, Dayton or Kentucky during the 2019 season. The 13 wins also included an undefeated run through the conference. During conference play the Tigers outscored their opponents by a score of 25 to 2 on the way to
securing another ECC championship. This is the first back to back league titles since 2009 and 2010. During the 18 game season they outscored their opponents 45-16 with 8 clean sheets (shutouts). The foundation of the ECC championship was laid down when the then #4 ranked Milford Eagles brought their undefeated team to Tiger Stadium to face the #6 ranked Tigers in mid September. The 2 teams battled for a scoreless 76 minutes before the Tigers were able to score with 3 minutes left to play and then cling to a 1-0 victory. The Tigers finished the regular season ranked #3 in the city and 15th in the state in Division 1.
Women’s Soccer Accolades by Coach Todd Kelly
The Loveland Women’s soccer team finished the season with a 16-4 record overall and a 5-1 record in the ECC. They won the Sectional Title and District Title and battled all the way to the Elite 8 finishing as the Regional Runner-up losing to the eventual State Champion.
The girls were ranked as high as 2nd in the city during the season. Our four senior captains, Kaitlyn Andrews, Maria Bashardoust, Georgia Early, and Claire Massey led the program to an overall record of 72-8-4 record or an average of 18 wins per season despite soccer having a 16 game schedule meaning they have more wins than what is actually scheduled and have in effect played an extra high school season.
The 72 wins is the most for any Division I High School in Ohio over the past 4 years. They amassed an ECC record of 24-1-1- losing just one game in their 4 year career. Their 72 wins are the second most in program history over 4 years and their 8 losses are tied for the fewest in 4 years. They finish a remarkable four year run that saw go 22-1 in 2017 to win The Division I Ohio State Championship, make 3 Elite 8 Appearances with one Regional Title, 4 District Titles, 4 Sectional Titles, 3 ECC titles, and 3 City Championships finishing the year ranked #1 in the City in three of their four years. They were ranked #1 in Cincinnati for 25 of the 36 weeks there was a poll during their 4 seasons. Offensively they scored 242 goals over 4 years and were shutout just 5 times in 4 years, the fewest times over 4 years in Loveland history. Defensively, they surrendered just 39 goals or 9.75 per year despite averaging playing 21 games per year. In the 84 games played during their 4 years, they recorded 57 shutouts or almost 70% of the games they played.
Kaitlyn Andrews was named Second-Team All-State, and Kaitlyn, Lauren Donovan, and Claire Massey were named All-SW Ohio. Kaitlyn, Maria, Georgie, and Claire have left this program better than when they entered and the coaches are extremely proud of the 2019 team for just being the best they can be.
Men’s Golf Accolades by Coach David Allan
The 2019 boys golf team had another thrilling and decorated season. In dual matches the team had a record of 10-2, going 5-1 in league play, two of those wins coming down to just 1 shot. They claimed the ECC season long title by winning the preview tournament at Glenview with a sizzling score of 302 and finished off the regular season at the ECC Championship with a 307 to claim the league title.
Individually, Jeffrey Main, Tyler Vallee and Joe Jankowski were all named first team ECC and honorable mention All District. Tyler finished with the team’s lowest stroke average at 39.07, taking medalist honors at the ECC preview tournament.
In the post season the Tigers advanced out of sectionals shooting a 308 at Sharon Woods on a tough, baked out and windy day, securing a birth to Districts. Unfortunately the season ended with a 6th place finish at Districts and no trip to the State tournament.
The future is strong though, and the tradition of excellence on the course will continue. The outgoing group of senior leaders will be sorely missed, but the team will return a solid core of players next year including Tyler, Joe and Aiden Callahan. It will be great to see what these men and the team can do to represent Loveland next season and beyond.
Women’s Golf Accolades by Coach Barb Orsinelli
In a very competitive ECC the girls golf team finished 5th in the league. We had a very young group of golfers with 2 sophomores and 7 freshman making up the JV and Varsity Teams.The lady tigers were led by Senior Allison Rountree, who earned medalist honors in 5 matches, named to 2nd team all conference, and honorable mention All City. Allsion signed today to play college golf at Ohio Northern University. Throughout the year we made big strides in our individual and team scoring. We had tremendous leadership from our seniors and look forward to seeing the development of our underclassmen next year.
Women’s Tennis – Accolades by Coach Dara Hudson

We ended the year with our doubles team of Tess and Hanna finishing 3rd in sectionals, qualifying for districts and winning the first round there. A great year for the Loveland Lady Tiger Tennis team!
Women’s volleyball – Accolades by Coach Brian Baugh
The girls volleyball team finished the season with a record of 20-5 (12-2) and were ECC co-champions and reached the sectional finals. This is the third straight (4th overall) ECC title for the girls volleyball team. This also marks the 4th straight season the girls have reached 20 wins in a season.
This season featured many great wins including defeating Lakota East, Turpin, Anderson (2x), Kings (3x) and Milford. The girls volleyball team had four girls recognized on All-ECC teams, and one individual was All-District.
We had a few players make their way into the record books. Jillian Hayes is now second all-time in blocks, broke the school record for blocks in a match (9), and is sixth all-time for career kills and efficiency. Audrey Planner is now 6th all-time in career aces. Diana Clark is third all-time for serve receive in a season. Abbie Miller is second all-time in career assists.
Overall it was another great season for the Lady Tigers!

Loveland, Ohio – As many of you in the community know Loveland High School has had quite the successful 2019 Fall sports season.

Unfortunately, sometimes the student part of student-athlete is not recognized as much because in the public eye it is not as entertaining as watching the individual’s athletic ability play out.
