High School Playbook

By Dan Hilen, Mason Sports Information

The two-time State Champion Mason Girls Golf team is the recipient of some notable postseason honors. 

Junior Emily Wright received First Team All-Ohio recognition after a 4th place finish at the state tournament.  For the second consecutive season Wright was selected as the Southwest Ohio District Player of the Year.  Juniors Erin Michel and Jessica Lange garnered Second Team All-Ohio honors with their 10th place finishes at State.  Additionally, Michel was a First Team All-Southwest District selectee and Zhang was named as a Second Team All-Southwest District recipient.  Seniors Deanna Mychalishyn and Chelsea Sturtevant were both selected Honorable Mention All-SW Ohio District.

For the third straight year Head Coach Fred Reeder was the Southwest Ohio District Coach of the Year.  This is highest high school coaching honor in the State of Ohio for a prep golf coach.

Congratulations to Coach Reeder and all the Comet players on another tremendous year!

Dave Sedmak has announced that he is resigning his position as head football coach at Mason High School.  Sedmak began his 3-year coaching career for the Comets in the fall of 2007 following former Mason head coach Gary Popovich.  During Sedmak’s tenure he accumulated a won-lost record of 8-22 with a 3-7 mark in 2009.   

“We would like to thank Dave for his work during the past 3 seasons,” said Mason Athletic Director Scott Stemple.  “We appreciate the time and effort he has put into the program.”

The search process for a new head coach is underway with more information forthcoming.

Pic Of The Week!

Ohio HS Football State Championships

By Dan Hilen, Mason Sports Information

The Mason girl’s soccer team defeated Lakota East on Thursday night at Thunderhawk stadium to clinch their 2nd consecutive GMC title.  The win improves the Comets record to 11-1-1 and finishes the conference season undefeated at 8-0-1. 

The Comets got their only two goals of the match in the first five minutes of the game by forwards Liz Finley and Megan Frye.  Lakota East scored a goal midway through the second half and consistently pressured the Comet defense.  The Mason defense held strong and was led by seniors Stephanie Gort, Heather Jung and Kimmy Connor.  Both teams created scoring opportunities in the second half, but neither could capitalize.

“It was a great effort put forth by all our players,” said 1st year head coach Andy Schur.  “Lakota East is an excellent team and we’re lucky to get out of there with the win.”  Team members of the 2009 GMC Champions include; Janese Atkinson, Kim Connor, Haley Haffner, Courtney Hoenicke, Megan Frye, Jami Pfeifer, Andrea Beard, Heather Jung, Kristin Leist, Elizabeth Finley, Madison Junge, Samantha Rutowski, Stephanie Gort, Kristina Steele, Ivy Beddow, Alexis Daulton, Kinisha Robinson, Chelsea Vanhook, Samantha Templeton, Mackenzie Money, Courtney Hackney and Gabrielle Whitt.

The Comets are the 8th ranked team in the recent girl’s state soccer polls and No. 2 team in the city.  Mason finishes their regular season schedule with a 2:00 pm match at Mercy on Saturday, Oct. 17th.  The Lady Comets are the 2 seed in the upcoming postseason tournament.  They will play a first round home match against Little Miami on Monday, Oct. 19th at 7:00 pm.
