Her leadership, positive attitude, and commitment to the team have made her an incredible teammate and a key part of our success this season. We are proud to recognize Meisha for everything she brings to the court!
Athlete of the Week: Co Varsity Athlete of the week
This week’s Co Varsity Athlete of the Week is Savannah Pontious. Savannah has been the driving force and vocal leader for our team, serving as our captain figure and setting the standard for everyone around her. As our setter and right-side hitter, she plays a key role in every match running the offense, making smart decisions, and coming up with big plays when we need them most. Her efforts were recognized recently as she was nominated and named to the FBA all tournament team, a well-deserved honor for the impact she’s made this season.
Athlete of the Week: Jv Athlete of the week
This week’s JV Athlete of the Week is Finley Toth. Finley has been a huge contributor for us with her strong hitting and timely blocks at the net. Most importantly, she brings incredible positivity to the team whether we’re up or down, she keeps the energy high and encourages everyone around her. Her effort and attitude have made a big impact on our team’s success, and we’re proud to recognize her this week!
High School Soccer:
Joseph Corbitt: He played every minute of 4 games in 6 days helping lead his team and defense to a 3-1 record with 2 shutouts. Great job Joseph
High School Cross Country

She shows up every day eager to improve, no matter how sore or tired she may feel, she always gives 110%. Keep it up Addie!
JH Softball:
From Coach Lori Reinneck
For players of the week, I 'm choosing the whole team! Why... because we made it to the state tournament. First time in 11 years. We wouldn't be where we are without each and every one of our players from our 5th graders up to our 8th graders. This team works hard, supports one another, and ended the regular season 20-2. Coach Kevin and I are proud to be able to work with them at every practice. All of their hard work shows at game time! Congratulations Lady Greyhounds on reaching state! Just do your best and have fun!

Athletes of the Week of Sept 15th-Sept 20th
HS Soccer- Lincoln Hamm, he is a captain and had 3 goals and 2 assists in 3 games last week. Keep up the good work Lincoln!
HS Volleyball
JV Athlete of the Week:
Danika Toth
Danika has made a significant impact on both the JV and Varsity teams with her effort, energy, and positive attitude. She never complains or shies away from adversity instead, she faces it head-on. Coach Kempfer and I have been very impressed with her growth and development this season. No matter what level or role we put her in, she gives her absolute best. We are proud of the excellence she continues to bring to our program as both a player and a person.
Varsity Athlete of the Week:
Addison Durbin
Addison has been an incredible factor for our team this season through her dedication and consistent maximum effort, both on and off the court. No matter what role we place her in, Addy executes it at the highest level. I’m extremely proud of how much she has bought into this season and the tremendous growth she has shown as both a player and a person.
HS Cross Country-Leonie Boucard is a foreign exchange student from France and she ran in her 1st cross country meet ever this past Saturday. She works very hard in practice and is determined to improve as an athlete, teammate and friend to all the other athletes. Great job Leonie!
JH Baseball
For the last week of the regular season, I want to recognize several players on the junior varsity team. This past Saturday we traveled to New Athens and the junior varsity team got the victory 6 to 2. Joesy Cramer-Herrera pitched three innings giving up one earned run and also contributed at the plate with an RBI. Joesy earned the victory on the mound. Carter Powell pitched the last two winnings, giving up an unearned run and closed out New Athens by getting the save. Carter was also 2 for 2 at the plate with an RBI and a run scored. Also contributing to the team win was Max Hoopes. Max was 1 for 1 at the plate with a walk and two runs scored. Max also made a nice inning ending catch in left field. Aiden Brockhahn had two stolen bases in the game and walked once.
JH Softball
The JH Softball players of the week are 5th graders, Lupita Mojica-Hernandez and Addie Henderson. Lupita wears the #8 jersey for the Greyhounds. She is one of our youngest pitchers. She works hard and has no fear on the mound at all facing our opponents. She has pitched in a few "B" games that we've played and done quite well. Lupita can play outfield as well as 2nd base. She is always smiling! She may be small, but she fits right in with our team! Addie wears the #5 jersey for the Greyhounds. She is also one of our youngest pitchers. She ended up with a concussion for part of our season and had to sit out. When she was released to play, she came back ready! Addie has pitched and faced a few batters during some "B" games. She does very well on the mound and is always trying her hardest to throw strikes. She has a great push off from the mound and you can tell she really enjoys pitching! She has been a great addition to the Greyhound softball team. I'm excited to see what the future holds for these two 5th grade pitchers for the Lebanon Greyhounds. Congratulations girls!
