Girls hoops advances with 65-50 win over McNicholas

The girls basketball team scored a first round playoff victory with a 65-50 win over McNicholas Wednesday night at Withrow.  Don't be fooled by the final score though.  This was an exciting game that half way through the fourth quarter still could have gone either way.

Down the stretch a couple of clutch buckets by Michelle Jolson and Hailee Schlager, a defensive rebound and offensive rebound and put back by Jane Streeter, and two steals by Nikki McKee finally created some separation.  Nikki's solid free throw shooting (she was 12-13 on the night) then kept McNick at bay as they intentionally put us at the line.

Nikki, who won the regular season scoring title for the CHL with 19.5 points per game, poured in 32 points.  This is her high for the season, surpassing her 27 point efforts vs. Taylor and at Deer Park.  She had a double double on the night with 10, wait for it, STEALS.  Pretty sure I've not seen many double doubles like that.

Jane and Sudy Graham each contributed nine points as well.  Sudy led the team with nine rebounds.  Michelle Jolson contributed five assists and seven points.  The win moves the Cowboys to 17-3 on the season.

Hats off to Lauren Mazzaro of McNicholas.  She scored 24 points, directed McNick's offense unselfishly, and wasn't afraid to mix it up inside.

Thanks to Jeff King (scorer), the boys basketball team, and all the fans (e.g., Steve Dennis) that made the mad dash from the boys game at Mason to Withrow to support the girls.

Next up: vs. Finneytown, Saturday at Withrow at 3:30 p.m.  We're 2-0 vs. Finneytown this year (44-30 there, 56-41 at home).  Come on out to support the girls as they try to make it 3-0.  Finally, a girls' playoff game on the same day as Corral that doesn't conflict.

Boys b-ball advances with 52-46 win over CNE

The boys basketball team advanced to the 2nd round of playoffs with a 52-46 win over Clermont Northeastern last night at Mason.

It was a weird game in that our team seemed easily superior to CNE, but we could never quite pull away and breathe easy.  It seemed every time I looked at the scoreboard expecting us to be up by double digits, we were instead ahead by just six.

Tony Davis and Kyle Seyfried led the scoring with 12 points each.  Kyle's points include three 3-pointers.  By the way, Tony ended the regular season fourth in the CHL in scoring (15.4 ppg) and first in rebounding (12.1  rpg).  Eric Price led the league in blocked shots (3.5 bpg) and was fourth in rebounding (8.7 rpg).

I have to admit, I was completely unaware of this drama during the game.

Next up: Indian Hill, Wednesday at Mason 6 p.m.  Bracket

We're 0-2 vs. Indian Hill this year but were undermanned when we played them at their place and lost by just 2 points at home on February 19th.

Athletes of the week

Congratulations to the Wyoming Athletes of the Week

Katie Horn - Girls Diving Team - Katie finished just out of the money for qualifying for the state meet in Canton. She finished 7th at the district meet. Katie finished the highest among Wyoming girls divers at Sectionals and Districts this year.  (Because of my computer problems, I can only show you a picture of Katie preparing to dive off the blocks in a relay.  Sorry.  I'm pretty sure she doesn't wear the cap and goggles when she dives.)


Nick Burns - Boys Bowling Team. Nick was the leader of the boys team that qualified for districts coming up this Saturday. Nick bowled a 569 series individually and in the six baker games he bowled 24 frames and had 23 strikes and one spare.
 

From the inside cover of the CHL Wrestling Tourney Program

Probably not going to be published in the Beloit Poetry Journal, but a good reminder:

Please don't curse that boy down there;
he is my son, you see;
He's only just a boy you know;
He means the world to me.

I did not raise my son, dear fan;
For you to call him names;
He may not be a superstar,
And these are high school games.

So, please don't knock those boys down there,
They do the best they can;
They've never tired to lose a match,
They're boys, and you're a fan.

This sport belongs to them you see,
You're really just a guest;
They do not need a fan that gripes,
They need the very best.

If you have nothing nice to say,
Please leave the boys alone,
And, if you forget your manners,
Why don't you stay at home!!

So, please don't curse those boys down there,
Because they're having fun,
And win or lose, you see,
To us they're NUMBER ONE!!!

District swimming notes

Some things I missed in my initial posts on the boys and girls sectional swimming championships.

The boys 200 free relay team (AJ Burt, Eric Lethander, Pat Dierker, Michael Murphy) swam a 1:28.42, setting a new district record in the process.  They broke Wyoming's 2009 district record of 1:29.95.

The boys 400 free relay team (AJ Burt, Pat Dierker, Eric Lethander, Zach Fischer) swam a 3:13.12, breaking Wyoming's district record set in 2009 of 3:14.96.

The girls 200 medley relay team (Celia Oberholzer, Mariah Okinbi, Rachael Theiler, Abby Gibbons) set a new district record time (1:49.25), breaking the record held previously by last year's Wyoming team of 1:50.93.

In the 100 backstroke, Celia Oberholzer swam a 56.51.  This was better than her state championship time from last year, better by almost  two seconds than her district championship time last year (58.45), and just .06 seconds off the state record of 56.45 set in 2005.

In the 200 Individaul Medley, Claire Gilbert swam a 2:11.41.  This is just short of 8 seconds better than her sectional time of 2:19.38.

Girls bowling wraps up season

The girls bowling team wrapped up the season season at Colerain Bowl with a 23rd place finish at sectionals.  The girls finished ahead of the only other CHL team in our bracket, Deer Park, by a score of 1813 to 1733.

Boys b-ball wins regular season finale

The boys basketball team won its regular season finale Saturday night by a score of 49-39 at home vs. Talawanda. 

The win sends the boys into the playoffs with a record of 13-7, 9-5 in the CHL.

Next up: First round tourney action against Clermont Northeast Wednesday night at 6 PM at Mason. 

Lacrosse teams begin workouts

The boys and girls lacrosse teams started their workouts on Saturday.  It was a rather unconventional workout, but quite a workout as told by those who lived to tell the tale.


"Normal" workouts are scheduled to begin tomorrow, but that would have been difficult with the Bob Lewis Stadium turn buried in snow.  Therefore the teams took it upon themselves to clear the field for practice.

Boosters Meeting

The next Athletic Boosters Meeting is Tuesday night, February 23rd at the High School Media Center.  All are welcome.

Boys basketball loses thriller to Indian Hill

The boys basketball team played a great game against Indian Hill last night but alas, came up just short.  The final score was Indian Hill 56 Wyoming 54. 

We had the ball with 4.4 seconds to go but Jacob Allsop's shot (NOT pictured above) didn't quite find its way home.  Jacob did plenty of damage on the night, however, leading all scorers with 20 points.  Tony Davis and Eric Price were also in double figures with 13 and 10 points respectively.

For those of you who remember the Indian Hill football game and their excellent quarterback, he was back to haunt us again last night.  Sam Hendricks scored 10 of Indian Hill's 24 fourth quarter points to lead the Braves back from a five point deficit heading into the fourth quarter.

Wyoming was without starter Evan Aleshire due to illness.

Senior Night

We had a smaller turnout than we'd have liked because of conflicts with other sports but senior night was held last night between the JV and Varsity boys basketball games vs. Indian Hill.

Boys bowling advances to Districts

The Wyoming boys bowling team stunned several Cincinnati powerhouse teams yesterday and moved on to districts, a first in team history, with a strong outing. 

Nick Burns led the way at anchor with a high game of 217.  Matt Brown added a 184, and Chris Bellman a 181.

The team format for the Sectional Championships consists of three games of regular bowling followed by six games of Baker format bowling.  (Baker Game: A method of team play in which five players bowl together to make one game; player #1 bowls frames 1 and 6; player #2 bowls frames 2 and 7 etc.)  The sum total of all team scores determines which teams advance to the District Championship.  The top eight teams advance.

After the regular bowling, the Cowboys were 13th out of 29 teams with only the top 8 moving forward.  After leading off with a 233 Baker game the rest was history for the Cowboys, placing number 3 in bakers as they rolled past St. Xavier, Monroe, Loveland, Walnut Hills and Hamilton to move up to 8th place and win the chance to move to districts next Saturday 2/27 at Eastern Lanes in Middletown.  Individual competition starts at 9:15 AM and Baker games at 1 PM.

Coach Pollington added, "We would love support to root the Cowboys to victory as we battle for a chance to advance to state!"

Wrestlers third after first day of sectionals

The wrestling team finished the first night of sectionals at Goshen in third place behind Wilmington and New Richmond:

Sophomores vs. Seniors at 6 PM
Winners play for the title of World Champion Volleyboys at 7 PM

Wyoming hockey?

Does Wyoming have a hockey team?  Well, yes and no.  We don't have an official school team, but we certainly have some Wyoming High School students playing some serious hockey on a "club" team. While the majority of the team's players are from Wyoming, they also have skaters from Walnut Hills, Princeton and Summit Country Day.  They play in the Cincinnati Amateur Hockey Association.


Coach Jim Flannery describes the Wyoming players:

#1-Joseph Dulemba. (Junior).. our top goalie. Joseph has a 88.5% save average. In 8 of his 15 starts, he has held the opponent to 3 or fewer goals per game.. the mark of a great goalie.

#16- Andrew Dunbar (Junior) plays right wing and has 22 goals and 14 assists already this season, the #3 scorer on the team.

#3- James Edwards (Senior) centers our second line and is one of the emotional leaders on the team. James is the #4 scorer on the team with 16 goals and 19 assists.

# 13 - Ted Schneider (Senior) is one of our anchor defense men. He has 13 assists from his defensive position and has been selected "Star of the Game" 5 times so far this season.

#7 - Brian Spitzig (Junior) is the Offensive Captain for the team, leads the team in points with 23 goals and 22 assists including 3 different "Hat-Tricks" (3 goals on a game) and 3 "playmaker" (3 assists in a game) games. Brian earns that "C" on his sweater every time he steps onto the ice.

#8 - Paul Swabek (Junior) is one of our utility men. He contributes mostly on defense, has 6 assists and 6 "Game Stars" this season.

The team would love some fan support as they head into the season ending tournament the weekend of February 26-28.  They are currently ranked 6th in their 13 team league.  Once seedings are final and the tourney schedule is complete we'll let you know exactly when and where you can see them, but reserve some time that weekend now.
(L to R): Forwards James Edwards, Andrew Dunbar and Brian Spitzig, Goaltender Joseph Dulemba (Thanks to the Dulembas for the picture)

Thanks to Coach Jim Flannery for the information and to Sherri Callaghan for the heads up.

Boys basketball defeats Finneytown

The boys basketball team defeated Finneytown 79-73 last night at Finneytown.  The win improves their record to 10-6 overall, 8-4 in the CHL.

The Cowboys came back from a 5 point half time deficit to tie the game 46-46 at the end of the third quarter.  Both teams went on a scoring spree in the fourth with Wyoming netting 33 and Finneytown 27.  The 79 total points marked the first time this season that the Cowboys tallied in the seventies.

Jacob Allsop led all scorers with 15.  Also in double figures were Eric Price with 13, and Tony Davis, Jonathan Tighe and Kyle Seyfried with 11 each.  This was Kyle's first action since being out with mono after the January 2nd game at Mason.

Daniel Leish sets Wyoming "near falls" points record

Daniel Leish recently set a new Wyoming single season record for "near fall" points.

What is a near fall?

It is when you have the opponents back to the mat and you are able to hold him there for 2-5 seconds (2 to 4 seconds equals 2 points, 5 seconds equals 3 points), obviously without their shoulders touching or that is a pin and the match is over. The 5 second hold is the most points you can get in each match and can happen multiple times.

Daniel still has the CHLs, Sectionals, etc. to extend his record.

Daniel now has 136 near fall points.  Teammate Neal Williams previously had the record.

2008-2009 Neal Williams 118
2008-2009 Matt Andersen 115
2007-2008 Neal Williams 78
2008-2009 Pete Richman 76
