7th/8th Grade
From Susaon Osha:
We all know that whenever Wyoming and Indian Hill meet, it's gonna be a good one. Monday's matchup between the girls' middle school lax teams delivered. Wyoming lead 5-1 at the end of the first half. IH came on strong in the second half, tying up the game at 8-8. Much like the Xavier game on Sunday, the team in red scored the game-winner just as time was expiring.
First home game of the season is Wednesday, 3/23, when Wyoming hosts Anderson. Action begins at 6:30.

Thanks to Arch Cunningham for the Varsity pictures.

Middle School Girls Lacrosse Splits With Indian Hill

David Walton answered the call and filed a great report for the Middle School Girls Lacrosse team.

Wednesday night the Wyoming Middle School lacrosse teams hosted two games against always tough Indian Hill.  The first game started off rough with Wyoming falling behind by four goals early on 5-1.  Coach Simmons inspirational speech got the girls focused and Wyoming responded with great goaltending from Olivia Grady and three goals before the break, including two from Libby Wadds, the Cowboys brought things within a goal at the break, 5-4.  Indian Hill expected to pull away in the second half, but it didn’t happen.  Led by some phenomenal end-to-end efforts from Caroline Meis, Kelly Lyons, and Greta Warmbier, every time Indian Hill got up by two goals, Wyoming trimmed it to one, and it was still within reach at 7-6 thanks to a couple of goals from Kylee Berigan.  Not wanting to chance giving the ball back to the Cowboys, Indian Hill started spread out the field late in the game to play stall ball to run out the clock, and Wyoming had to take chances on defense.  That led to a couple of easy goals by Indian Hill in the last few minutes but with Olivia making a phenomenal stop in the closing seconds to keep the final margin at Wyoming 6, Indian Hill 9.

The second game saw Indian Hill jump out to another quick 3-0 lead thanks to shots directly from the setting sun that goalie Grace Desserich could not see at all.  But the Cowboys wouldn’t give up; Cate Hummel, Peyton Osha, and Abby Buysse all tallied key goals and Wyoming bounced back.  Still down 7-5 with just  five minutes left in the game, Wyoming stiffened behind Lauren Montgomery’s first game ever as goalie and took control of play, bringing it into a 7-7 tie with just a few minutes remaining.  When Wyoming got the ball back with 90 seconds left, coach Simmons called a key timeout and set up a clear out play for Maia Davis, who took the ball around goal and buried a wraparound for the 8-7 lead.  The Cowboys withstood several last minute rushes from the Indian Hill offense but stood tough, and when Riley Bahr grabbed a ground ball with 10 seconds left and ran it out of her end, Wyoming had a hard-earned 8-7 victory.  They’ve now beaten every team in the league at least once this year and their record stands at 16-6-2.

Look What's Coming Our Way

From Coach Getgey

GIRLS MS Lax end the season in style!!

The girls middle school team played their final A game this season vs their nemesis Springboro who had beaten them early in the season then again last week in the Comet Cup.   Coach Wadds and Getgey decided to change the lineup and give Olivia Grady the nod as Goalie so that they could add firepower up front with Libby Wadds.   The return of Ellie Marty just added to the defense which was anchored by Katie Wadds, Isabella Getgey and Kelsey Lackey.    With the lineups set, the girls came out swinging by controlling the ball and taking the first 3 shots of the game.   Captain Lindsey Stewart got the offense calmed down after a few missed shots and finally got their first goal thanks to Ashley Moher.   At halftime, the girls found themselves down 4-3.   It was then that the Wyoming spirit showed thru as the girls were relentless in the 2nd half as Libby Wadds, Anna Sponagle, Lindsey Stewart, Caroline Meis, Hope Connelly, Greta Warmbier, Kelly Lyons and Sam Rathbone continued to provide the offensive punch.  The Henn sisters Christine and Jessica outran all defenders and provided great passes all day long.   Riley Bahr was everywhere on the field and Springboro realized that it was going to be a long half.   Olivia Grady was tremendous in the goal making stop after stop and the defense played their best game of the season.   In the end – the 2nd half spirit of the girls middle school lax crew just overpowered Springboro for a 10-8 win.   Thanks to Lindsey Steward, Katie Wadds and Ellie Abrams for being great captains this year.    All the girls were tremendous and will make Coach Crawford proud next year in High School.

In the second game Olivia Grady continued her steller goalie play as Ellie Abrams, Molly Mariani, Hope Connelly, Emma Fitzpatrick started the offensive barrage.  Riley Bahr, Emma Savage Greta Wambier Caroline Meis, Sam Rathbone and Cate Hummel provided great Middy play ensuring the ball stayed on the offensive side.   The defense was led by Lauren Montgomery , Lydia Groff, Jane Burke and the Henn sisters.   It was a tough battle all day with Springboro receiving 3 yellow cards for dangerous play.   The Wyoming girls never relented and held the lead throughout the game.   One costly turnover with only a minute left in the game came back to haunt as Springboro was able to come down and tie the game with less than 15 seconds remaining.   The Wyoming effort was tremendous and all the girls should be proud of a great season.

Thanks to Coach Getgey for the report, and
