Fall sports practices underway today
While three varsity sports — football, boys golf and girls golf — are already underway, the remaining slate off fall sports — boys soccer, girls soccer, boys cross country, girls cross country, girls tennis and volleyball — begin practice, today, Monday, Aug. 10.
Here’s a quick look back at 2008 with a short glimpse into the 2009 season:
Girls Soccer: Greenon’s girls team completed its second straight unbeaten regular season, finishing 14-0-2 in 2008. They won their second straight CBC Mad River Division title before falling to Waynesville in a D-II district final match. The Knights will look to reload this season after losing six seniors, including News-Sun All-Area Player of the Year LeeAnn Shaffer.
Girls Tennis: The area’s top girls tennis player, Catholic Central’s Leah Ann Miller, returns for her senior season this fall after earning three News-Sun All-Player of the Year honors (she shared the award with Northwestern senior Megan Asterino last year). She’ll also get some help from Frannie Trempe, an Irish senior who went 19-3 at second singles last year. Both will have designs on getting to state tournament in 2009.
Boys Cross Country: All five boys who competed at the state cross country meet — Northwestern’s Ben Jones, Greenon’s Gareth Graver, Kenton Ridge’s Chris Lykins and Yellow Springs’ Jake and Brock GunderKline — have graduated, leaving a big hole to fill around the area. Graham, Northeastern and Kenton Ridge all return strong squads in 2009.
Girls Cross Country: The Northwestern girls cross country team finished eighth at the state cross country meet in 2008, up one spot from their ninth-place finish in 2007. The Warriors graduated just one senior, Kasey Hosier, who competed in four straight state cross country meets. The Warriors will likely return their entire squad in 2009 and will be a state contender once again.
Volleyball: Springfield’s Lindsey Butterfield, the 2008 News-Sun All-Area Volleyball Player of the Year, returns for her senior season after 3.5 kills, 1.3 digs, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 aces per game last season for the 18-5 Wildcats, who return a boatload of talent this fall. West Liberty-Salem, Southeastern and Urbana also return strong squads in 2009.
Boys Soccer: The Catholic Central boys soccer squad, who won the D-III state title in 2007, finished 12-4-2 in 2008, falling to Yellow Springs in a sectional final match. This year, the Irish return a ton of talent, including playmakers Calum Latham and Joe Halula, and have big hopes heading into 2009. Greenon won the Mad River Division title in 2008 and hopes to defend its title. Tecumseh and Kenton Ridge also return strong squads.
