Varsity
Friday, February 5th
The most exciting game of the year as the Cowboys eked out a 2 point victory over an ambitious Finneytown team.  Down by 2 with 8.2 seconds remaining, Finneytown's Delshon Watson hits a 3 pointer to go ahead.  Unfortunately for them, their coach called timeout a second before the shot, enabling Wyoming to win by 2 and go 15-4 on the year.  Final 46-22 Wyoming.

JV
The JV team once again scored 57 points against Finneytown, this time 57-28.  The first game was 57-37.  Moe Mitchell had the hot hand, scoring 23 and going 5 for 5 from 3 point range.

Girls Basketball

7th Grade

Report from student-athlete Brianna Lowry:

The 7th grade girls suffered a loss on Monday against Finneytown. They tried really hard as they only lost by 4 points. On Wednesday the girls won against Reading as the bench was very lively and loud! 7th grade girls will face Deer Park, away, on Monday February 8th! Then they will go to the tournament playing Madeira on Tuesday and we will have to wait and see what happens to find who they play on Thursday. GO COWBOYS!

Secure Your Place in History

From AD Jan Wilking
Saturday night (2/13) we will play boys’ basketball vs. Indian Hill at 4:30/6/7:30pm.  This is a make up game from the non snow event a few weeks ago.  This game will in all likelihood be for the conference championship and therefore it will be a packed house.  Few items for everyone to know about tickets and passes….

Our gym seats 750 people.  Indian Hill has 225 tickets to presale starting on Monday.  We will have the balance of tickets to presale starting on Monday at lunch.  We will accept Booster passes at the door however, if and when we reach 750 people in the gym we will not allow any additional people to enter the gym due to fire code even with a Booster pass.

GET TO THE GYM EARLY IF YOU WANT A SEAT.  Taping blankets or seat savers during the 4:30 and/or 6pm game will NOT be permitted.

Tickets are $6 adults and $4 for students.

Tuesday, February 2nd SENIOR NIGHT
VARSITY
It took 5 minutes and 17 seconds of the first quarter before Madeira, unable to penetrate Wyoming's strong defense, got it's first shot at the basket.  Highlights were Lonnie Grayson's 19 points and Mason Roger's 10 rebounds, all in the second half.  Cowboys win by 16 (44-28


JV
By far, the lowest scoring game of the year as Madeira inflicts a second loss on our JV team, 26-14.  Halftime score was only 10-4, Madeira ahead, as only Miles Smith and Moe Mitchell each record a single field goal.

We also have more pictures from the Friday, January 29th Varsity game against Mariemont.

Swimming
The Swim and Dive teams had to go on the road to cut Dayton Oakwood down to size.  From what I understand, the surprise Cowboy victory wasn't by a slim margin either.

Boys Basketball-REVISED

Varsity
Tonight, Tuesday, February 2nd, is Senior Night for the Boys Basketball team.  They've showed up for you for four years.  Now it's your turn to show up for them.  The game against Madeira starts at 7:30.

January 29th
The Varsity again took Mariemont at home on Jan. 29 with an easy 74-46 win, the second consecutive game in which reserves played the entire fourth quarter.  Lonnie Grayson scored 27 and led the team in rebounds with 6.  Greatest crowd pleaser was Mason Roger's second slam dunk of the year on a steal at mid court.

Check out some Fox 19 video HERE

Junior Varsity
A loser in the final seconds when the JV played at Mariemont, a much improved Mariemont team easily recorded  a 52-43 score over Wyoming.  Miles Smith continues to play well, scoring 12 and sharing the rebounding leadership with Eli Cupp with 5 each.

Freshman
The freshman also played Mariemont.  Results and stats I do not have.  Great pictures I do.
