A Big Finish

From Coach Crawford

The Girl's JV Lacrosse squad traveled to Bellbrook to play the Dayton Lacrosse Club in the final contest of the JV season.    After a 2 to 2 tie at the start of the second half, both team's offenses stepped it up with a shooting display which resulted with the Cowboys on top, 8 to 5.  Goalies Ellen Boster and Avery Barzizza platooned for the win and recorded 4 saves.  Scoring was lead by Ashley Moher and Madelyn Taylor, each with 2 goals, followed by Hope Connelly (1), Carolyn Abel (1), Annie Boster (1), and Molly Mariani (1).

Seniors Serve Mariemont

Bob Carter wraps up the regular season for the Boys Tennis team.

The Boys Varsity Tennis team finished out the regular season with three straight games from Weds (5/6) to Friday (5/8).

The team lost close matches on Weds versus Indian Hill (2-3), and versus Walnut Hills (2-3) on Thurs. Both matches were hard fought and very exciting to watch.  The Cowboys re-grouped to resoundingly beat Mariemont at home by a score of 4-1 on Friday – which was also Senior Day (and the last game of the regular season).  The team finished the year with an 8-6 record overall, and 3-1 in the CHL – which earned the Cowboys second place in the league!

Graduating seniors and captains on the tennis team are: Myles Bourbon, Will Carter, and Kieren Thomas.  Over the past 4 years, the tennis team has a cumulative record of 16-3 in the CHL and earned one league title (in 2014), and came in second place in each of the other three years. They will certainly be missed.

As a parent of a graduating senior, I’m certainly sad to see the end of the regular season.  But… the good news: the post season sectionals start next week (on Tues, 5/12). Stayed tuned!

Besides our regular reporter-slash-photographer, Bob Carter, we also had Deb Varland and Arch Cunningham on hand to capture the Seniors.

Thanks to Bob Carter for the report, and his action shots above.

Big Wins for the Cowboys

Lisa Golden reported for the Girls Softball Team:

Last week of regulation softball - Time for catching up!:
The Cowboys visited CHCA Tuesday (5/5/15) for a non-league contest.  The starting pitcher for CHCA lasted only one inning and had trouble with her control; hitting two of the three starting batters and walking the next two.  Wyoming scored 7 runs on 3 hits and an error.  In the second inning, their top pitcher came in and Erin Campbell singled, Reily Boss walked then Erin scored on an overthrow while stealing third and Reily followed by scoring on a passed ball.  After that, she gained control and retired 9 of the next 10 batters.  Meanwhile, Madeline (MJ) Juegens a solid 4 innings allowing only 5 base runners and no runs.  The Cowboys’ defense was also solid with Michaela Fetter, Olivia Munneke and Allison Golden.  Sammy Campbell, Lyndsay Sasson, and Allison each had 2 hits with Allison adding 2 more RBIs to her stats and one of Sammy’s hits was a run-scoring double.  Final score was a 10-4 victory for the Cowboys.

Wyoming hosted Reading on Wednesday, May 6th.  It was also the Cowboy’s senior night honoring our shortstop Olivia Munneke and 2nd baseman, Erin Campbell.  Reading started the game strong, scoring 3 hits in the first inning and another in the top of the third inning.  In the bottom of the third inning, Allison Golden smacked a double, scoring Lyndsay Sasson for her first of 2 RBIs.  Her second would come in the bottom of the fifth with a single to left, scoring Reagan Raymer.  Reading would add another two bringing the score to 6-2 Reading going into the bottom of six.   Sammy Campbell achieved her second hit of the game with a 2RBI double scoring her sister Erin and Reily Boss closing the gap to 6-4.  A defining play for Reading was a hard line drive hit by Sasson which Reading’s shortstop robbed her of the game tying hit, ending the inning.  Unfortunately, Reading broke the game wide open in the top of the 7th by adding 6 more runs.  Final Score:  Reading wins 12-4.

On Thursday, May 7, the Cowboys played at Madeira for the final league game of the season.  Katie Lewis took the mound; pitched all seven innings; did not give up a walk and struck out three.  The Cowboy defense was solid throughout the game, allowing only one unearned run.  After 5 innings, the Cowboys led 9-1.  The offense was consistent as every starter had at least one hit, and they scored in all but the fifth inning.  Madeline “MJ” Juergens and Reagan Raymer each had 3 hits (two of Reagan’s were doubles), and Sammy Campbell also added another double to her resume.  The Cowboys preserved the victory.   Final Score:  Wyoming wins 11-5.

Thanks to Lisa Golden f or the report, and

A Tight Team

There may be bigger teams around, but there may not be a team that's more fun than Coach Hoppenjans Boys Tennis team.

That's something to think about when next Spring rolls around and you're looking for a team to jump into the arms of.  

(I'm not proud, but yes, sometimes even proper grammar is sacrificed for the sake of a lame joke.)

Thanks to Coach Hoppenjans for the fun pictures.

Beavercreek Dammed Up
