Tanking Taylor, Take Two

We previously posted (HERE) about Friday, November 7th's Cowboy victory over Taylor in the first round of the Football post-season.  We just got ahold of Rod Apfelbeck's fantastic football frames.   We also now know the location for the second round game.  7:30 pm, Friday, November 14th, at Monroe High School (220 Yankee Road, Monroe, OH 45050) the #4 seed Cowboys take on the #1 seed Kettering Alter (see the bracket HERE)

Thanks to Rod Apfelbeck for the great photos.

Many M's are Magical, or My Sickness on Display

If you've paid the slightest bit of attention you've likely noticed my affinity for alliteration and assonance (I'd include consonance, but, you know, the non-'A' sound at the beginning.)  Saturday, November 8th was a banner day for me.  I was on assignment (full disclosure:  on assignment as in my wife said, "You better be there to take some pictures") at the Matthew 25 Ministries Fighting Hunger 5k where I caught a few Cowboys.  There was the Matchless Middle School Mentor Ms. Moriarty and her Mother.  That's Multiple Moriartys! 

Then I saw two Middle School Mini Mini-Marathoners.  There was a Miller 

and a Mennone. 

Were you there too?  

Send us your pictures, we'd love to share them.  And if you're an M... oh, boy!

Cowboys Still On the Drive

Friday, November 7th, the Cowboys knocked Taylor out of the post-season tournament with a 23-17 win.  The #4 seed Cowboys advance to face #1 seed Kettering Alter in round 2.  The 7:30pm Friday, November 14th game game location hasn't been released yet.  Don't believe me? See the bracket for yourself HERE.

Thanks to Arch Cunningham for the great pictures.

This is the Millionth Post

It's not really the millionth post, but it is a milestone.  

This is the 4,000th post.  

The Wyoming Athletic Boosters and my editorial predecessors deserve most of the credit for making the Round Up a success.  I'll give the rest of the credit to you - the parents, coaches, and athletes who take the time to submit the stories and pictures that make the Round Up great.
THANK YOU!

The stories don't write themselves, and it's obvious I'm too lazy to write them myself.  If you're team has been featured regularly in the Round Up please take the time to thank those who volunteered their time to make it happen.  If you've downloaded one of the pictures of your loved one in action, (or one of yourself for the student athletes), please make an effort to thank the photographers who were there to capture the moment.

If your team wasn't regularly featured, please consider being the one who will step up next time to bring in the stories or pictures for us to share.

With the Winter Season now getting underway, here's your chance to be the one who shines the spotlight on your team.  It won't happen without YOU!  It would be great to see every team represented here.  Every meaning Middle School, JV, as well as Varsity.

Can't spell?   Don't know what an adverb is?  It doesn't matter.  We can keep you anonymous and just sign all of your reports with the name of a High School English teacher.

The Condensed Version

Always diligent, AD Jan Wilking provided us with a brief summary of the Fall season.

The Fall athletic season was one of championships!  Wyoming captured Cincinnati Hills League (CHL) Championships in volleyball, boys’ and girls’ cross country, football and for the first time since 1985 – boys’ soccer. Wyoming currently leads in the CHL All Sport Trophy standings.

Our volleyball team earned the #1 seed in the OHSAA state tournament and finished the season 24-2 as District Runner-Ups.  Alexis Tyree was named CHL Player of the Year and Julie Plitt was named CHL Coach of the Year.  Alexis Tyree and Madi Maisel were both named all state.

Our cross country teams won both the boys’ and girls’ CHL and Southwest District Championships.  Our boys’ team qualified for the state finals, finishing 8th.   Travis Glendenning was named CHL Coach of the Year. Ben Stites was named Runner of the Year in the CHL.

Boys’ soccer earned the #1 overall seed in the tournament and finished as District Champions and regional semifinalists.  Steve Thomas was named CHL Coach of the Year.

Girls’ soccer had an outstanding season finishing in the top 16 in the state as District Champions and regional semifinalists.  Coach Lauren Gruber was named CHL and Southwest District Coach of the Year.  Sophomore Kayla Hampton was CHL Co-Player of the Year.

Boys’ Golf won the CHL Tournament Championship.  Both the boys’ and the girls’ team qualified for the District Finals.  Girls were led by all Southwest District player senior Sam Pease. 

Girls Tennis finished 2nd the CHL and showed improvement over the season.

Football stands at 9-1 and Friday night hosts a first round playoff game.  Tickets are on sale now at school!

Fall Awards Night is Wednesday, November 19th at 7pm.

I'm sure there are many more awards and honors to come for our Cowboys.  We'll try to post a more complete list after Awards Night.

Senior Night Seconds

We previously posted about the Friday, October 31st Senior Night (HERE).  Rod Apfelbeck just got his photos off the drying rack and delivered them up.

Thanks to Rod Apfelbeck for these pictures.

Patience is a Virtue

Friday, October 31st, the Cowboys Football team flattened Finneytown 55-6.  (Previously posted HERE).  As photographer Rod Apfelbeck just refuses to use a Polaroid, sometimes you have to wait.  That's okay.  It teaches patience, endurance, and, for some of you who check the Round Up more than three times a day waiting for updates, perseverance.  Thanks, Rod.

Don't wait any longer.  

Thank Rod Apfelbeck for his great pictures and then
