T is for Taylor, and Thwarted, and Tanked, and Tamed

The following is an excerpt from the Wyoming Sports Report re-cap of Friday, September 27th's 54-12 trouncing of the Taylor Yellowjackets.

...The fourth quarter saw two TDs from the best QB family since the Mannings, with a 65-yard pass to Junior Oliver Reinecke from Will Marty, as well as backup Andrew Marty's first varsity TD pass to Reinecke again for 17 yards. Wyoming finished the game with 386 yards of total offense and had a running dominant game plan, although being very efficient on passing plays, with 50% of their completions resulting in TDs.

Can you ever get tired of seeing pictures of the opposing team's quarterback (#16) being sacked?
In the name of Art and Science, Taylor's defense kindly gave our photographers plenty of chances to see if we can get this age-old question answered.

Back to Back

Coach Crider sent in the following report for the Boys' Varsity Golf team.
 
On Saturday afternoon (Sept. 28th), the WHS Boys Varsity golf team continued its great season by clinching the Cincinnati Hills League title for Fall, 2013.  The team finished 2nd by a single stroke to Mariemont in the season ending CHL Championship tournament, and that finish was good enough to allow the team to seal the overall league title with a final record of 28 – 2 in the CHL.  This is the second consecutive CHL title for the team, and the first back to back titles since 2006 & 2007.
 
The team will be playing on Thursday of this week in the Division II District tournament, attempting to earn a berth in the State Championship tournament in Columbus. 

MS Mass Transit

I've heard of the Axis of Evil, but the Axles of Evil? 
 
Coach Nocks sent in the following report from the Middle School Cross Country team's showing at the St. X Invitational on Saturday, September 28th.
 
Once again, the middle school cross country team had to battle against the bus company.  The bus company (which I am sure is in league with the other CHL teams) arrived to pick up the team only 1 hour and 15 minutes late.  The CC team prevailed over this obstacle with the help of its super parents, which this week acted as bus drivers to shuttle most of the team to St X to get them there in time for their race.   
This meet was the largest one the CC team has run.  There were about 28 teams from all over Ohio and Kentucky.  Again, the CC team was competing against Division 1 and 2 schools.  The team held their own and finished about in the middle.   The more impressive news is that most of the runners got a PR at this meet.
Thanks to Coach Nocks for the report.

The low morning sun and low skill level of our staff photographer kept the number of pictures , you guessed it, low.  If you have pictures of our Middle School Stars that you' like to share, send them to us here at wyoroundup@gmail.com

Friday Night Preview

The Wyoming Sports Report has a preview of tonight's (Sept. 27th) game against Taylor.  Below is just enough to whet your appetite.

With inter league play over, the Wyoming Cowboys (2-2) got their first CHL win of the year last week in a 55-20 victory against the Madeira Mustangs. This week, they'll face another tough opponent in the current CHL leading Taylor Yellow Jackets (4-0).

The Yellow Jackets come into Bob Lewis Stadium on Friday leading region 14 in Harbin points, which are used to determine playoff teams in Ohio. A big win on Homecoming night this Friday will be exactly what the Cowboys need to bounce back from two tough losses early in the season and get back above .500.

Huge Heart at Hopewell

Coach Nocks sent in the following report from the Tuesday, September 24th Middle School Cross Country meet at Hopewell.
 
The sun was shining and the buses were on time. It made for a fabulous cross country meet. The middle school CC team ran against many schools, most division 1 and they held their own. The boys finished 8th out of 13 and the girls finished 5th out of 11.
 
The end of a cross country race is a great place to witness the intersection of training and will.  You will have to go to Cara Hummel's photo gallery (link below) to see the series of images that came right after the ones shown above and below to find out how these races ended.
Thanks to Coach Nocks for the report, and
