She has been my right hand in many cheer duties and it is appreciated! Her positive nature and smile on the field is what VV cheer is all about!” Caleb Musgrove -  Varsity Football Coach King’s comments: “Caleb has greatly improved this season.  Caleb has become very consistent offensively for us.  He runs great routes, blocks well, and is a playmaker with the ball in his hands.  Caleb doesn't say a lot but he has been a leader with great effort this fall!” Gavin Phillips  - JV Football Coach King’s comments: “Gavin is a sophomore WR/DB.  He has battled an ankle injury this year but he continues to work hard each day.  We depend on him to provide leadership for the JV team both with his words and actions.  He understands the game of football and is always in the right position both offensively and defensively.” Liam Hearlihy  - 7th grade Football Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Liam is a tough lineman who excels both on the field and in the classroom.  Liam is a straight A student who is dedicated to making those around him better.  He has a strong work ethic and is always pushing himself and his teammates to improve.” Cannon Haupt  - 8th grade Football Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Cannon joining us this year has been great for our team.  We have asked him to learn different positions on offense and he has stepped up without complaint.  He is a hard worker who demonstrates integrity on and off the field.  His positive attitude is contagious and makes our team better.” Morgan Michael  - HS Volleyball Coach Sedensky’s comments: “Morgan has provided a consistent and stable presence in our line-up all season long.  Earlier in the season, Morgan had to make an adjustment to becoming a setter in our line-up.  While she has adjusted well to that responsibility, there have been no drop-offs in other areas of her game.  Morgan has continued to be a key attacker, blocker, defender and server for our team.  Morgan's contributions have helped our team achieve a 13-1 record so far this season.  Way to go Morgan!”

Facebook: Valley View Spartans Athletic Department X (formerly Twitter): @SpartansView Instagram: vv_spartans_athletics Athlete(s) of the Week Wyatt Burkett  - JV Football Coach King’s comments: “Wyatt Burkett has done a great job of leading the freshmen.  He doesn't speak, but he comes to practice every day and works incredibly hard.  He gives consistent effort, has a great attitude, and is always ready to learn.  He has improved each day throughout the season.” Bryce Reed  - Varsity Football Coach King’s comments: “Bryce Reed is a great leader for us.  He is a captain and a two way starter as well as being on multiple special teams.  He brings energy and enthusiasm to practice.  He has an expectation that the rest of the team act that way as well and holds them to that standard.  Along with his leadership, he is playing at a very high level both offensively and defensively.” Sophia Queen  - HS Volleyball Coach Sedensky’s comments: “Sophia is a Senior Leader in our volleyball program and is a key reason we are in first place in the SWBL with  a 6-0 record and are 11 -1 overall. With Sophia leading the way as a middle hitter, we got 3 victories this past week, including a win in straight sets in a key match up with the 10 - 1 Brookville squad.  For the 3 matches, Sophia got 32 kills with an amazing .483 atack efficiency.  She also added in 11 aces.  For the season, Sophia is amongst the SWBL league leaders in Blocks, Aces, and Attack Efficiency.” Trey Reed  - 7th grade Football Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Trey is a great teammate and an all around great kid.  He is a leader with both his actions and his voice.  Trey is an impact player in all phases of the game.  He scored three touchdowns this week in a 30-0 win against CJ.  Trey is a guy who gets his team fired up and ready to play.  He is also very supportive of his fellow teammates and makes his team better with his positive attitude.”  Uriah Stearman  - 8th grade Football Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Uriah has been a great addition this season.  He is a first year player who has worked with us to learn multiple positions to help his team out.  He is a hungry learner who is always asking the coaches what he can do to improve his play.  He always gives maximum effort, always seeks extra reps, and is a team player.  He is doing a great job on the defensive line and is making an impact with his strong play.” Paisley Phillips  - 8th Grade Volleyball Coach Feltz’s comments: “Paisley has always been a strong presence on the volleyball court.  She is a clear team leader and always a team player.  She was the Team's Choice for captain and has stepped up to fill that position.  Paisley is a very consistent player at any position on the court.  She excels as a Middle Hitter by bringing many successful blocks and kills for her team.  Her skills do not stop there as she has brought our team many points with her ability to serve the ball into some of the best spots for an ace.  Her eye focuses on the opposition's court, whether serving or playing offense on the net, and tries to find an open spot.  I have no doubt that she is off to achieve great things.”

Ella shows up every day to practice and matches ready to play! She continuously works to better herself each match and always plays with a smile on her face. Last week during our weekly league match, Ella played her best round yet against Waynesville. Ella always turns a negative into a positive and is so much fun to coach.

Facebook: Valley View Spartans Athletic Department X (formerly Twitter): @SpartansView Instagram: vv_spartans_athletics Athlete(s) of the Week Brayden Bell -  Boys Soccer Coach Stoutenborough’s comments: “Brayden scored both goals in a tough defeat to Franklin on Saturday evening.  Brayden is playing at a very high level and taking on a new position.  He has become very vocal and is much appreciated by the coaches.  Brayden continues to be a student of the game and it is paying off.” Peyton Flannery -  HS Football Coach King’s comments: “Peyton is a two way starter on the offensive and defensive line.  He has consistently improved each week and is playing very good football right now.  Defensively he has been very physical and has done a nice job taking on double teams and crossing the face of the tackle when playing B gap.  Offensively he has been very consistent and physical.”  Mason Cooper -  HS Football Coach King’s comments: “Mason is a first year player as a senior who is consistently getting better.  There are a lot of things to learn to play varsity football for the first time and he is soaking it all up.  He always gives great effort and is very coachable.  He is fast and smart and is always asking good questions.” Brox Zimmerman  - 8th grade Football.   Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Brox played a great game against a very good Miamisburg team.  On defense he was flying to the ball and making plays.  On offense Brox scored two long touchdowns including an 80 yard run to open the second half.  Brox is an essential part of our team and is a great teammate.” Noah French -  7th grade Football Coach Stubbs’ comments: “Noah dominated the line of scrimmage and made impact plays all game long.  Noah's night included a sack and several big hits.  Noah helps anchor an impressive D Line that will be a key to our success this season.” Ella Ferguson  - Girls Soccer Coach Barnett’s comments: “Ella has been an incredible asset to us through the early part of our 2023 campaign.  Heading into her senior season, she was asked to take on a new position, as one of our centerbacks, and immediately blossomed into the role.  She has used her athleticism, skills, personality, and leadership to become a solid defender, yet still eager and receptive to learning ways to improve her game.  Ella has also built a great working relationship with the other girls on the Varsity squad and is a role model for our JV players as well.  In our matches this week against Oakwood and Fairmont, she helped tremendously to solidify our back line and, particularly in the Fairmont game, provided some key interventions to break up attacks and initiate chances for us to counter.” Payton Blevins  - Girls Golf Coach Towery’s comments: “Payton joined the girl's golf program as a sophomore, never playing competitive golf. Payton worked all summer long practicing and taking lessons to better her game and prepare for the season. Since our matches started, Payton has continuously improved her play each week making her one of our key players and point-getters. She is a strong golfer and a good leader on the course. Payton is hard on herself but not afraid to ask questions which creates room for her improvement. Payton is fun to coach and we look forward to watching her improve her skills and game over the next two years.”
