    Loveland, Ohio – Head Coach Chris Switzer said on FaceBook after Elizabeth Madison completed her perfect season, “So proud of this kid…. what a year – undefeated State Champ as a freshman.” He was exclaiming his esteem for Madison after she defeated every opponent in Columbus at the Schottenstein Center at Ohio State University during the DI OHSAA State Wrestling Championships.

    Madison won every match she entered as a 170 lb. ninth grader and finished the season 42-0 with 40 pins. This was the inaugural season for the Ohio High School Athletic Association to host a Women’s wrestling tournament. Madison will forever be remembered as Ohio’s first 170-pound champion.

    In January 2022, the OHSAA announced that Women’s wrestling and Men’s volleyball would be added as sanctioned sports beginning with the 2022-23 school year. The Ohio High School Athletic Association averages more than 50,000 fans for the weekend of wrestling.

  • Loveland celebrated Tigers State Champion Soccer Team with ring ceremony

    Loveland celebrated Tigers State Champion Soccer Team with ring ceremony

  • Champions Tour through Loveland for Loveland Women Division I State Soccer Champs

    Champions Tour through Loveland for Loveland Women Division I State Soccer Champs

    Dear Loveland Community and Tiger Nation, 

    We want to make you aware of the plans in place to honor our outstanding State Champion Lady Tigers Soccer Team. The student-athletes and their coaches have requested to conduct a Champions Tour through our school district and community on Friday, Dec. 8. Loveland police and fire officials will be escorting the team during this tour, which includes the following stops:

    ·         8:30 – 8:45 a.m. – Loveland Elementary School

    ·         8:45 – 9 a.m. – Loveland Primary School

    ·         9:15 – 9:30 a.m. – Loveland Early Childhood Center

    ·         9:45 – 10 a.m. – Loveland Middle School

    ·         10:15 – 11 a.m. – Loveland Board Office

    ·         11 – 11:15 a.m. – Loveland Intermediate School

    ·         2 – 2:20 p.m. – Loveland High School (There will be a video shown in the gym which highlights the season and the journey.)

    Please feel free to join us at any of the stops we are making along the tour. 

    The team made the decision to proceed in this fashion because they want an opportunity to thank Tiger Nation for supporting and cheering for them during this amazing state run, and the two dates proposed for a community parade were in direct conflict with plans the girls had that could not be rearranged.

    Additionally, the Loveland Board of Education will recognize the State Champion Lady Tigers Soccer Team at the 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 12, Board Business Meeting held at the Loveland Intermediate School Media Center. All members of the Tiger Family are invited to attend this event.

    Symmes Township is recognizing the winning team 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 5, at a Township meeting. Tuesday, Jan. 9, Loveland City Council will honor the team at the scheduled city council meeting, and 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16, Miami Township has also invited the team to join them at one of their business meetings.  

    The Loveland Athletic Department will induct the entire 2017 Lady Tigers Soccer Team into our Loveland High School Athletic Hall of Fame during halftime of our Tiger basketball games vs. Kings Friday, Dec. 15.

    Finally, our Loveland Athletic Boosters are generously going to purchase State Championship rings for our student-athletes and coaches. When the rings come in, we will organize a public ring ceremony event, where all are welcome.

    We are so proud of the Lady Tigers Soccer Team accomplishments and all they have achieved. Please help us celebrate their success at one of the above events, and for the events currently unscheduled, please look for additional details to come.

    My Best and Go Tigers!

    Julie Renner, Loveland Athletic Director
