Out With a Bang

From Coach Crawford

The Cowboys Girl's lacrosse team played their second round State Tournament in Columbus Thursday evening against the St. Francis DeSales Stallions.  The Cowboys mounted a furious second half offensive comeback beginning with a defensive lockdown and draw control dominance after finding themselves down 1 to 7 at the beginning of the second half, but fell short in the end losing 8 to 11.   Goalie Claire Mellott recorded 4 saves in the Cowboy's effort.  Goals were scored by Maggie Hughes (3) Adi Smith (2), Reilly Simmons (1), Haley Stewart (1), Olivia Cunningham (1).  The Cowboy's end a remarkable season with 12 wins and 6 loses.

Remarkable, agreed.

Thanks to Coach Crawford for the reports all season, and

Cowboys to Meet the Rockets

Coach Fiehrer catches us up with the Baseball team

The baseball team finished their season on Friday May 8th with an extra inning win over Summit to finish the year at 13 and 12.  This was a great turn around after a 2 and 9 start to the season.

The Cowboys entered the tournament a 6 seed and traveled on Tuesday to play Bataiva, a 4 seed for a first round sectional matchup.

The Cowboys won 4-3 behind the arm of Joe "Romindogger" Rominger.  Joe allowed three runs over 7 innings and threw the ball very well.  He improved his record to 4-1 on the year.  Offensively Sam Izenson had two big RBI's early in the game.  Tim Rice knocked in the third run with a Sac Fly and Prajit Goli knocked a big run in the top of the 7th to extend the Cowboys lead to 4 to 2.  The game ended on a deep fly ball caught by Prajit Goli at the wall to finish the win off.

Thursday the Cowboys traveled to New Richmond to take on the 3rd seeded New Richmond Lions.  The Cowboys were lead by Andrew Marty on the mound who threw a complete game three hitter leading the Cowboys to a 3 to 2 victory and a chance to play in the Sectional Championships.  Parker Chalmers lead off the first with a walk.  Went to second on a wild pitch and then stole 3rd.  Sam Izenson knocked him in with a single to give the Cowboys a 1-0 lead.  In the second inning Prajit Goli lead off with a walk.  He was sacrificed to second by Tim Rice.  Prajit stole third and the scored on a Connor Eldredge single to extend the lead to 2 to 0.  Andrew Marty was helping out of a jam in the first inning after Tucker Marty made a great catch on a line drive and doubled off the runner at second base.  The Cowboys stranded runners in the 3rd and the 4th innings.  In the 4th New Richmond tied the game on a big 2 out bases loaded single.  In the 6th inning Prajit Goli lead off with a single.  Tim Rice sacrificed him over to second base.  Prajit took third on a wild pitch.  Connor Eldredge hit a sac fly to knock in Prajit to give the Cowboys a 3 to 2 lead.  In the bottom of the 7th Andrew Marty struck out the lead off hitter.  The second batter popped out to Parker Chalmers.  The third batter hit a deep ball into left center field that Prajit Goli ran down and caught right in front of the wall to end the game.

The Cowboys now advance to the Sectional Finals vs. Mcnick
(5:00 pm, Thursday, May 21 at Western Hills HS).

Records Breaker

Coach Glendenning sent us the good word.

Ben Stites has broken 2 school records the past 2 weeks.  

At the Wayne Invitational on May 1st he ran 9:28 in the 3200, breaking a record set in 1992.  

Then last Friday he ran a 4:19.45 1600.  

This broke a mark set back in 1981!

Super at Sectionals

Bob Carter keeps the Tennis season alive for us with his report and pictures.

Tuesday marked the start of the Southwest Ohio tennis sectional tournament, where Wyoming competed in the DII Mason sectional. There were over 32 singles players and 28 doubles teams participating in the Mason Section, and the format is both simple and high stakes: one loss and you are out of the tournament.

Representing Wyoming for singles are: Jay Klein, Chris Murray, and Alex Sfyris; and doubles teams are: Nolan Morley/Kieren Thomas and Myles Bourbon/Will Carter.

After the dust settled, Wyoming finished the day with 9 wins and 2 losses. In fact, three teams/players made the cut for districts: Chris Murray at singles; and both doubles teams (Nolan Morley/Kieren Thomas and Myles Bourbon/Will Carter). This is the best showing in the sectionals for the Cowboys in the past 4 years – and probably much longer than that!  

Next up: the remaining players/teams play on Saturday (5/16) for top seeding at the District Tournament.

Thanks to Bob Carter for the report and the sweet pictures.

A Big Beginning - UPDATED

From Coach Crawford

Ultimately Undefeated

From Coach White

Wyoming’s Ultimate program capped quite a successful weekend when the co-ed team wrapped up an UNDEFEATED, 8-0 regular season with a 12-10 victory over previously undefeated Clark Montessori.  Despite the fact that 10 of the 11 boys on the varsity team participated in the two-day, six-game State tournament on Saturday and Sunday, claiming an amazing third place finish, Wyoming was able to gut out the win over Clark.  Trailing 8-6 after the half, Wyoming switched to a match-up zone, with junior Jaden Shapiro shutting down Clark’s interior game to lead a 6-0 run to clinch the win.  The Coach was too tired from the State tournament to keep stats, but knows that all four Wyoming girls—sophomore Annmarie Spurling and juniors Catherine Thoms, Bailey Skidmore and Monica Unzueta--had key defensive plays and/or goals, junior Joe White shut down Clark’s long game from the back of the zone, and senior Tim Fitch provided the fresh legs and enthusiasm to help carry the team over the top.  The boys were playing on adrenaline alone!

Wyoming will be the top seed in this Saturday’s season-ending tournament, which will feature all 16 teams form the B division of the league, in Gulley Park in Lebanon, and will be seeking its second tournament title in three years

Third at State!

From Coach White

The Wyoming Ultimate team boys participated in the State tournament for the first time in School history this year, finishing third in the regional tournament in April to qualify for the two-day, eight team tournament.  The small squad of 10 boys from Wyoming picked up three players from Clark Montessori (tournament rules allow schools to add up to three non-school players who do not attend a team participating in the tournament), and knocked off Bishop Hartley and Columbus Alternative High School to reach the semi-finals, fell to eventual champion Holy Family Catholic, and then beat a tough Kenston team from Cleveland, 13-10, to claim third place in their sixth game of the weekend. Junior Joe White anchored the back of a stingy zone defense in windy Versailles, and led the team, dubbed WyoClark, with 18 scoring throws and nine goal catches on the weekend, while junior Max Brady had 11 goals caught and one scoring throw.   Juniors Brady, Gus Bradley, and Quin Wolfer, and senior Evan Emanuelson, Michael Spurling and Abe and Blake Wickstrom did most of the running downfield on offense and defense, and Abe had the highlight of the weekend—intercepting a pass in the end zone for a defensive goal, known as a Callahan.  Abe’s key play sparked the turnaround in the Bishop Hartley game, in which WyoClark turned a 6-5 nailbiter into a 12-7 runaway following his amazing play.  Junior Jaden Shapiro and sophomore Arthur Cilley provided strong defense in the middle of the zone and solid handling skills on offense.

It was quite a thrill watching the team attain a third place finish, as all seven other teams in the tournament play year-round.  WyoClark turned a lot of heads with its high quality, spirited play, and the boys were all smiles after their last game!

Congratulations to the team, and

Thanks to Coach White for the report and the picture.
