  • Tiger Football loses opener to Sycamore

    Tiger Football loses opener to Sycamore

    Senior Riley Hamill is the starting quarterback for the Tigers

    by Matt Huether

    This past Friday the Loveland Tigers started their Football season in a Skyline Chili Crosstown Showdown game at Sycamore Stadium.

    The Tigers showed some bright flashes early in the game, one of which was an 8 plus minute drive to start off the game, ending with a touchdown reception by Austin Lodor (pass from Riley Hamill) putting the Tigers up 7-0 after a kick by Logan Farnsworth.

    Junior Liam Hamill rushed for 68 yards against Sycamore.

    Sycamore came right back and scored a touchdown on a Brian Doneghy 7-yard run. Then, a late score in the first quarter from a 62-yard punt return touchdown by Jordan McConnel, put Sycamore up 13-7.

    Sycamore scored again in the 2nd quarter to pad their lead to 19-7 at half time.

    After a good drive by the Tigers late in the 3rd quarter, Sycamore RB/DB, Brian Doneghy, intercepted Riley Hamill for a 96-yard pick six putting Sycamore up 26-7. By the end of the 3rd quarter, Sycamore was up 33-7.  Tiger Liam Hamill ran for a 2-yard Touchdown in the 4th quarter, making the final game score 33-13.


    Varsity Football Head Coach Fred Cranford

    I had the opportunity to speak with the Varsity Football Head Coach Fred Cranford and gain some feedback regarding the upcoming Tigers season.

    What are your goals for the varsity team this upcoming season?

    Coach CranfordReturning leadership, returning starters and experience, physical returning defense, and an experienced offensive line will be key to our success and execution. Mental toughness and physical condition will be important to our success.

    Who are some of the players that you expect big things out of this upcoming season?

    Coach CranfordJT Popp at linebacker, Kyle Whitaker at fullback and linebacker, Natron Webster at linebacker, Drew Vanderhorst on the defensive line, Sam Slyderand Joshua Elfers on the offensive line, Remi George at linebacker and running back, and Riley Hamill at quarterback.

    Riley Hamill was 8/16 throwing for 76 yards.

    What underclassmen has the ability to impact the game at the varsity level this year?

    Coach CranfordGabe Ogden at defensive end, Sean McElveen as a safety and wide Receiver, Ben Morrison at defensive End and as a wide receiver, Austin Loder at tight end, Tyler Shelly at center, Liam Hamill at running back, and Breckin Sharkey at defensive back.

    What do you think will be the hardest game of the season and why?

    Coach CranfordTough schedule from start to finish, 3 non league games all Division I.  On our schedule we play 7 Division I opponents. Sycamore in the Skyline Showdown was well disciplined, well coached, and was a tough test to start the season.

    With the loss of a lot of defensive starters due to graduation, who do you look to this year on the defensive side of the ball?

    Coach CranfordOur Linebacker crew will lead with experience and leadership.

  • Looking at golf and tennis at Loveland High School

    Looking at golf and tennis at Loveland High School

    by Matt Huether

    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.
