Olivia Kozuszek (Senior - Softball) Coach Pritchett’s comments: “Olivia has come out of the gates this year as strong as she ever has.  Every game, she is finding a way to make a play and contribute at the plate. She is hitting 10/29 (.349) with a double, 3 runs scored, 5 RBI, and a stolen base, and 4 sac bunts. Fielding-wise, she has been a great center fielder with 17 putouts.  She has a .424 on-base percentage as well. Olivia finds a way on and off the field to help push this program to the next level. We needed a senior to step up this year, and Olivia has answered the call.”   Thor Nabors (Junior - Boys Tennis)  Coach Heistand’s comments: “Thor is playing 1st Singles on Varsity Blue for the Boys Tennis Team this season after his incredible improvement from last season and is doing a great job.  Being the top Valley View Player on the team has allowed him to face off with the 1st Singles of each school we face.  Some of the players that he has played against are among the top players in the state of Ohio.”   Check out all the entries for the annual CD Cover "competición" in Spanish II!  Early this spring, they started a "Marzo" Madness Bracket of Spanish songs--talking about culture, Spanish lyrics, modern connections, etc. Students and staff had the opportunity to vote for their top three designs.
