The Braves Cross Country team had an outstanding day Saturday at the SWOC Championship here at home. The girls won the conference championship, with 5 individual top 10 finishes from Maddy Iden, Libby Farmer, Hannah Lippincott, and Zoe Moore. Congratulations to Iden, who was named league runner of the year. The BOYS team was league runner up, with 3 top 10 finishes from David Kraushar, Kiefer Bell and Logan Murray, and Kraushar was also named runner of the year for the boys. In addition, head coach Paul Stiver was named Conference Coach of the Year for both the boys and girls teams. So next up, the cross country team goes to the district meet on Saturday in Cedarville.
The football team fell Friday on Senior night by a score of 54-0 to Edgewood. Tyler Teeters went 7-26 passing for 39 yards. Terrell Wills rushed for 42 and Tyler Englehard had 3 receptions for 16 yards. The Braves fall to 2-6 overall, and 0-4 in the SWOC. They will travel to Northwest next week.
The JV Football team came from behind though to beat the Cougars by a score of 26-22 on Saturday after trailing to Edgewood 22-6 earlier in the game. Deondre Bothast-Revalee scored 4 touchdowns for the Braves in that game, so congratulations to the JV football team on a great come-from-behind win.
On Thursday, the volleyball team fell in straight sets to Ross on their senior night. They finish the regular season with a 7-14 overall record and 5-7 conference record. The Volleyball team will take on Colerain in the postseason on Wednesday at 6 — we’ll get you ready for that later in the week.
And the boys soccer team on Thursday finished their conference regular season undefeated with a 3-1 victory at Ross. The Braves end conference play with a 12-0-0 SWOC record. They had just two losses in the regular season. So the boys soccer team will host a 1st round playoff game on Thursday here at the field between either Kings or Oak Hills at 7 — we’ll give you more details later in the week, but just a heads up.
And the girls soccer team tied with Ross 2-2 on Thursday to end their regular season with an all time high in wins — their overall record finishes at 11-3-2. They will play Princeton in postseason action tomorrow.
And that’s our broadcast on this Monday. I’m Patrick Geshan. Thank you so much for watching — and have a great day.
