Looking Good

I haven't heard yet how the Baseball team's road trip went overall, but I did get some great pictures of the team's Tennessee action thanks to Jon Marty.

Don't live vicariously through the lens of Mr. Marty.  Make sure you get out to see the team for yourself this season.

News From the Road

DOBO, John Brown sent the following news from the Baseball team down in Tennessee.

A great start to our regular season today (, as we started the season down in Nashville.  Our season opener was against Grundy County. Casey Howell started pitching and recorded the win. Sophomore Sam Marty relieved and recorded the save. Tucker Marty was a huge contribution on the offensive side going 2 for 2 with 3 RBIs, and Casey Howell had a 3 run home run as well as we went on to win 12-1.

In our second game we faced Centersville.  This game was a defensive battle as we won 3-1.  Tucker Marty started this game and pitched 6 and a third innings. His cousin, Will, relieved him in the seventh and ended the game with a huge strikeout. This defensive game was led by junior second basemen Sam Izenson. We continue to play 3 more games through the spring break trip to baseball, starting with Marshall County tomorrow.

Show No Mercy

The Wyoming HS Girls Lacrosse team traveled to Western Hills HS to play Mother of Mercy HS on a cold, windy, and snowy Tuesday evening.  The JV came out on top recording their first victory, 7-2.  Goalie Claire Mellott lead a solid defensive effort by the team.  Goals were scored by Elizabeth Hughes (2), Erin Broderick (1),  Annie Boster (1), Avery Barzizza (1), Libby Fischer (1), and Madelyn Taylor (1).

The Varsity played impressively and won 13-2.  The defensive quad of Carly Schlager, Emily Wood, Grace Crawford, and Grace Schneider, along with a strong performance by the midfield, allowed only 7 shots on goal with Goalie Emily Wadds grabbing 5 saves.  Offensively, goals were scored by Claire Crawford (5), Olivia Cunningham (2), Maggie Hughes (2), Haley Stewart (2), Becky Denson (1), and Marielle Smith (1) with assists by Marta Stewart (1), Marielle Smith (1), and Claire Crawford (1).  Draw Controls were lead by Marta Stewart (3) and Olivia Cunningham (3) with loose ball control lead in the field by Emma Komrska (5).

The team takes a break but will back for action at Home on Tuesday, April 8 at 6:00 pm (JV) and 7:15 pm (V) against Lebanon HS and again Home on Wednesday, April 9 at 6:00 pm (JV) and 7:15 pm (V) against CHL rival Mariemont.

Thanks to Coach Crawford for the report, and

Girls' Lacrosse Season Opener

The Wyoming Girls Lax team opened their 2014 season at home Saturday against the Division 1 Springboro Panthers.  Interest and excitement in girls lacrosse program in 2014 has lead to an expanded Cowboy roster and includes both JV and Varsity squads.   

The JV squad recorded a strong showing that included a very close and exciting first half with the Cowboys leading 3 - 2 at halftime highlighted by offensive control and defensive stops.   The second half remained scoreless for 7 minutes of play until the Panthers scored back-to-back goals to take the lead.  After a furious effort to recapture the lead with separate shots on goal, the Cowboys ran out of time in their push to retake the lead.   Late goals by Springboro added to the final score differential, but the final score of 8 - 3 was not indicative to the closeness of the game or the solid opening goalie performances by sophomore Claire Mellott and freshmen Grace Steiner.

The Varsity turned in a consistent defensive performance coupled with an impressive goalie showing by junior Emily Wadds (holding the Panthers to just 3 goals upon 7 saves in the second half alone) and recorded their first victory, final score 11 - 8.  Wyoming impressively dominated transition play with 12 loose ball controls, lead by sophomore Reilly Simmons (3).   Draw controls favored the Cowboys with 13, lead by sophomore Haley Stewart (6).  Offensively, a two and half minute fusillade of 5 goals near the end of the first half, along with a sixth goal scored with 12 seconds remaining, lifted Wyoming from trailing the Panthers 3 - 4 to a commanding lead of 9 - 5 at halftime.   Goals were scored by seniors Becky Denson (2), Marta Stewart (2), and Claire Crawford (1),  junior Adi Smith (2), sophomore Reilly Simmons (2), and freshmen Marielle Smith (2), with assists by Adi Smith (1), Marielle Smith (1), and junior Maggie Hughes (1).

Next up, a Tuesday night matchup with Mother of Mercy HS played at Western Hills HS, JV game time is 6:00pm and Varsity game time is 7:15pm.

And the Winners Are...

You have to love truth in advertising.  It was called a Fun Run and if there were any doubts, the image above proves it.

The Wyoming School Foundation would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of our runners who participated in our 3rd annual 5K FUNRUN, held Saturday, March 15th.  We had a total of 561 participants--many of whom were Primary School students, running a 5K for the first time. 

It was a great morning to be a Wyoming resident--running a race, then heading over to the Civic Center for the Wyoming Youth Services sponsored Pancake breakfast.  

That is what you would call "delicious fun".

Special thanks to our Platinum Sponsors:  

Bob Roncker's Running Spot--for providing runners with a gift certificate for FREE pair of running socks.

Graeters--for providing runners with a certificate for a FREE ice cream cone.

Ulmer and Berne, Wyoming Business Association and Viox Services--for their continued support of the 5K FUNRUN.

The RoundUp, like your mother, wants to remind you to say "Thank You" to the Co-Chairs of the event, Shelly Komrska and Allison Lebuhn

and to all of the many volunteers who sacrificed part of their Saturday to help make this a great experience for all.

I'm no good with movie trivia, wasn't there a movie that had something to do with baseball where they said, "If you cook it outside, they will come."?

Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

If it's felt like forever since you've been out and cheer on a Cowboy athlete, here's an idea.

On Saturday, March 22nd, the Baseball teams are scrimmaging at Legacy Field at Prasco Park.  Varsity starts at 3:30 and JV starts at 6.

Our All-Star

Coach Gruber sent in the following from the District 16 East-West All-Star game.

On Wednesday night, senior Natalie Burchard donned the #33 for the final time as she was selected to play in the District 16 East-West All Star Game at St. Bernard High School. Natalie's West team fell to the East, but the CHL had strong representation with seniors from Wyoming, Reading, Indian Hill, Madeira, and Taylor being selected to play in the game.

Congratulations to Natalie on a great senior season and career!

Thanks to Coach Gruber for the summary and the pictures.
