We had a great homecoming week at the school! Glad to see so many kids participating in the dress-up days and homecoming activities!
Tomorrow, our junior high softball team plays in Marion at the oasis sports complex at 2 o'clock versus Anna. They would love to see you there, if you can't make the trip, their bus leaves at 10:45 from behind the school and you can feel free to come to the school and give them a great sendoff. I am sure they would appreciate the community support!

Spotlight on Lebanon Greyhound Fall Athletes 9/21
JH Softball
My spotlight players are both 5th graders! They are Macie Hogg and Hayden Venhaus.
Macie wears the #10 jersey. She is one of our B team catchers. She is very impressive behind the plate. Macie is one of the smallest players on the team, but she has the biggest heart for softball. She knows the game well and is a great teammate. Macie is very coachable and always gives 110%. If you see her on or off the field, she is sure to be smiling!
Harper Venhaus wears the #9 jersey which used to be her older sister’s number. She is a great addition to our team with being able to pitch, catch, and field any other position as well. Her pitching is very impressive for a 5th grader using the 12” ball for the first time as well as being pushed back on the mound a few feet. Harper didn’t think she would want to pitch this year, but worked through it and has done great! She has a very good role model in her big sister, Hayden. Both Macie and Harper are multi-sport athletes and have very bright futures as a Lebanon Greyhound!
JH Baseball
Jamaar Brown has been a stand out player the past week. In the last five games Jamaar has 10 hits in 12 at bats, 5 walks, 3 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 6 runs scored. That is an unbelievable hot streak offensively. He is also made numerous great catches in centerfield.
Murphy Brown has had a great attitude all year long. On 8th Grade Day we were down by 6 runs against Aviston before tying the game late. Murphy made a game saving catch in right field on a hard line drive with multiple people on base. The very next inning we won the game on a walk off single. Murphy’s play undoubtedly was a determining factor in the game.
JH Cross Country
Grace Trivett
Grace has a great attitude and is a joy to coach and be around! She’s made amazing progress every race and continues to get better and better every time out.
David Ruth
David is a great teammate. He’s an encourager and a very steady presence on the team. David is always looking for ways to have fun, but continues to get better as he does so.
HS Soccer
Mason Shirley has made the most of his minutes in his first year of high school soccer and scored his first goal at home vs Vandalia.
Parker Konieczny has begun his sophomore campaign in net with an impressive run of 11-0-2 while playing every available minute and recording 3 shutouts.
HS Volleyball
This week’s Athlete Spotlight goes to Junior Captain, Addison Durbin!
Addison is an outside hitter who brings hustle and effort into everything she does. She is one of those players who seems to be everywhere on the court, using her quickness and determination to make plays others might not get to.
Addison has been a huge asset for us with her passing and ball control, while also being a strong and aggressive hitter at the net. She works hard in every aspect of the game and never seems to take a play off.
As one of our varsity captains, Addison leads through her actions and sets a great example for her teammates. Her combination of quickness, skill, competitiveness, and effort makes her a huge part of our team.
She was also named to the All-Tournament team at the First Baptist Academy volleyball tournament this past weekend!
This week’s Athlete Spotlight goes to JV Setter, Brilee Davenport!
Brilee brings great energy and enthusiasm to our team every time she steps on the court. She is constantly encouraging her teammates, staying positive, and helping keep the energy high throughout practices and games.
Brilee is also someone who hustles to the ball on every play. She never gives up on a ball and is always willing to put in the extra effort to keep the play alive. On top of that, she has been a big weapon for us behind the service line!
Last night against New Athens, Brilee had an incredible night serving, recording 8 ACES! Her ability to serve aggressively and put pressure on the other team was a huge part of her performance.
Brilee’s combination of energy, hustle, determination, and serving ability makes her a great asset to our JV team!
