Boys Lacrosse Bouncing Back

Jack Mariani, student athletes and a team captain for the Boys Lacrosse team reported for the team:

The 'Boys have wrapped up the first 3rd of their season with a record of 3-4, bouncing back after a tough 0-3 start before Spring Break. In the past week the team has recorded back-to-back wins over Turpin and Seven Hills, 13-3 over the Spartans and a nailbiting 7-6 comeback victory over the Stingers. We're really about to hit the bulk of our schedule, playing 6 games over the next 2 weeks including 3 straight road games starting April 18th at Milford. The team is finally working out the kinks and getting into a rhythm, one we hope to carry into arguably our biggest game of the year, vs Indian Hill at home on Monday, 4/25. 

Hope to see Bob Lewis Stadium packed with blue and white that Monday for our big rivalry game.

Ultimate Wins

From the Ultimate coach, Goerge White:

Wyoming’s varsity Ultimate team ran their record to 2-1 with a resounding 14-5 win over Centerville Sunday.  The senior trio of Jay Klein, Jaden Shapiro, and Joe White again led the way, each accounting for at least seven goals—caught or thrown—but the real story of the game was Wyoming’s impressive zone defense, which repeatedly forced lengthy Centerville possessions ending in turnovers, and taking the game from a 2-3 deficit to a 12-4 lead in a 10-1 run that spanned both halves.  The entire roster of players contributed to the effective zone D.  The varsity’s next game is Sunday at 3 vs. Lakota at the Wyoming Rec Center.

The JV also won its second game, with an 11-3 win over Mason’s JV squad.  Sophomore Elliott Fuller led the way with four scoring throws, two goals caught, and 11 forced turnovers (D’s), while fellow sophomore Victoria Lentz had two goals caught and eight D’s.  The JV has a strong group of sophomores, boding well for the future of Ultimate at Wyoming.


Also in Ultimate news:

Two Wyoming seniors have been selected for the first ever Cincinnati High School Ultimate All Star game, where they will be joined by the best players from the more than 30 schools in the Cincinnati area fielding teams in the local high school league, including two local players who have been selected to play on the US national team in the Ultimate World games in Poland this summer.  Joe White, a first team All State selection last year, and Jaden Shapiro, will represent Wyoming Ultimate in the All Star game.

The game will be played Friday, April 22, at 8 pm at the Seven Hills School turf field, under the lights.  The public is invited, and admission is free.  Further information about the game may be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/798009390329453/.

NEVER to be Outdone

While it was nice to see former Wyoming AD (now at Lakota West), Scott Kaufman named a SWODA AD of the Year, did you see how our own AD Jan Wilking went from 1 home game event (Boys Tennis) on Monday night to 4 home game events (adding Girls Lacrosse, Girls Softball, and Boys Baseball) due to opposing fields being too wet to play on?  And on top of all of that, she even stepped in for a few innings as first base coach for the Girls Softball team.  (They won the game, by the way, 14 to 7 over Norwood.  I'm not saying that the win was due to her being at first base... but I'm not not saying it either.)

A big thanks to Jan for putting in the work to give our athletes a chance to get back into action after the recent rain-outs.

Along with Scott Kaufman, local legend, Dave Dierker with Cincinnati Public Schools, was honored by the SWODA as he earned the NIAAA Distinguished Service Award in recognition of service, special accomplishments and contributions to athletic administration on the local, state, and national levels.

Signs of a Streak

The Cowboys softball team showed the emergence of some young talent and heavy hitters during their first week of play.   Returning to the infield this year is the pitcher-catcher team of senior co-captain Madeline Juergens and sophomore Skylar Wolski.  Backing them up along the bases is sophomore Emma Jacquemin (1st), juniors Michaela Fetter (2nd) and Reagan Raymer (3rd) and senior co-captain Allison Golden (SS).  Their back-up in the field are juniors Reily Boss, Sammi Campbell, sophomore Cammie Miller and freshmen Shelby Fritz and Isabel Coyle.

The Softball Cowboys were a half inning away from an exciting 3-0 start last Monday. Two of the three games were against league opponent Indian Hill, facing a hard-throwing, very experienced senior pitcher.  Combined with the cold weather it took awhile for Wyoming to shake the opening day jitters.  Freshman Shelby Fritz recorded her first two hits, as well as 2 RBIs.  Emma Jacquemin showed off some power, one hopping to the right field fence.  Unfortunately, the game ended in the bottom of the 7th with Indian Hill scoring 2 handing the Cowboys a 7-6 opening game loss.

The middle game of the week was probably the best overall game played.  Playing against Cincinnati Christian, the hitting came alive.  Skylar Wolski hit two homeruns and single scoring 5.   Reagan Raymer also scored a homerun and two doubles, logging in 2 RBIs of her own.  Madeline Juergens hit well with a double and racked up 2 RBIs of her own.   A solid Cowboy defense shut down a hard-hitting Cincinnati Christian team gave the Cowboys a 13-6 victory.

The second game against Indian Hill Wednesday saw Wyoming solidly in control through six innings with a 4-0 lead entering the 7th.  The Cowboy’s scored first when Sammi Campbell was singled in after hitting a double to right center field.   Although it appeared the game might get away after 2 hits, 2 walks and an error left the tying run on first with the league’s top hitter at the plate.  A running catch by Shelby in right sealed the 4-2 victory for senior Madeline Juergens.

The Cowboys have had a rain delay with three consecutive rainouts so the Wyoming Cowboys still have a long but exciting season ahead. The Cowboys are getting off to a strong start and we hope to see that continuing in the upcoming games.

Come out and cheer the Girls on.  I'm sure they'd appreciate your support.  

Not sure where to go?  

Let your eyes adjust for a moment as you look past the glittering new diamond and you'll begin to see the softball field just behind Bob Lewis Stadium.

Opening Day

The new baseball field opened up on Wednesday, April 6th.  

Unfortunately, despite a valiant effort, the boys fell 3-4 to Indian Hill.  

The facility looks great, and everyone who played a part in making it a reality should be very proud.  However, the completion of the baseball field doesn't mean the Athletic Boosters work is done.

Facilities and equipment will perpetually need to be maintained, replaced, and upgraded to help our athletes to perform at their peak potential.  Something to keep in mind when the Super Saturday Athletic Booster membership drive knocks on your door next Fall.

Thanks to Rod Apfelbeck for the great photos.
