    Loveland School District names Brian Conatser athletic director

    Former interim to lead in permanent capacity

    Loveland, Ohio – The Loveland City School District announced today that Brian Conatser – a longtime Tiger – as the permanent district director of student athletics. Conatser, who has 12 years of experience growing Loveland student-athletes in his work as a varsity coach, served as the athletic director in an interim capacity during the 2017-18 school year following the February announcement that District Director of Student Athletics Julie Renner accepted a position outside education with FinalForms, a national athletic management solution company.

    “Loveland High School is known in the Eastern Cincinnati Conference for our robust athletic program, and Mr. Conatser proved to Tiger Nation that he has what it takes to lead this program forward,” said Loveland High School Principal Peggy Johnson.

    Conatser began serving the district in 2006 as a teacher at Loveland High School (LHS). During that time Conatser was a member of the varsity football coaching team, and worked as the LHS strength and conditioning coach. He transitioned from his teaching role to work as the LHS Innovative Instructional Coach during the 2015-16 school year, before joining the administrative team in the role of assistant director of student athletics in 2016. Conatser has a Bachelor’s of Education in Health Promotion from the University of Cincinnati, a Master’s of Education in Secondary Education from Xavier University, and a Master’s of Education in Educational Leadership from American College of Education.

    “I love this district, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to grow our already outstanding athletic program for our students, our parents, our community, and our staff,” said Conatser. “It is a great time to be a Tiger!”

    Loveland Tiger Tripp Willis scored 16 against the Braves

    by Todd Robinson

    A shorthanded Loveland men’s basketball team hosted the Cincinnati Hills League’s number two team, Indian Hill, Saturday, February 3rd at Tiger Court. Five varsity contributors were watching the game in street clothes due to injury or illness.

    The Braves entered the game with a 12-4 record, with only Deer Park ahead of them in the CHL standings. 

    Indian Hill held off a late Tiger rally to claim the victory, 53-50.



    On Senior night, Tiger Nation paid tribute to 6 cheerleaders and 4 players prior to the game.  Cheerleaders Caroline Bond, Lillie Clepper, Chasity Haskamp, Kelsey Micsky, Ashley Schmoock, and Miya Shultz were all given a load ovation by the Crowd. Senior players Austin Huynh, Brady McCluskey, Jack Stewart, and Parker Carrigan all started the game for the Tigers. 

    Stewart knocked in a three pointer in the opening minutes of the game to the delight of the Loveland student section. And Austin Huynh scored three consecutive points in the second quarter, earning a loud roar from the crowd.

    In a close first half, the Tigers trailed by 3 points at halftime, 22-19.

    A trey by Matt Toigo coming out of the locker room knotted the game at 22. But a 19-5 run by the Braves gave them a seemingly insurmountable 41-27 advantage early in the 4th quarter. But the ever-resilient Tigers scrapped and clawed to within 1-point, 51-50, with 28 seconds left. Two Indian Hill free throws extended their lead to 3. In the last 20 seconds, Loveland launched three attempts from beyond the arc for the tying field goal, but none would go down. 

    Indian Hill improved their season record to 13-4 and the Tigers dropped to 5-13.  Matt Toigo and Tripp Willis led the scoring effort for the Tigers with 18 and 16 points respectively.
