Coming Up This Week in the FAVC
Wow, could Puxatony Phil have been more correct in his prediction of 6 more weeks of winter??? Mother Nature is flexing her muscles and trying to throw a wrench in the final two weeks of regular season competition for the FAVC. But please know our Directors of Athletics, our Coaches and our Student-athletes will not succumb to the elements. We will persevere and complete our Winter Sports Season.

The Wrestling tournament will take place this Saturday at Wilmington (please see related article on this page). This is the final week of the regular season for Girls’ Basketball and the next to last week of the regular season for Boys’ Basketball. OHSAA tournament competition begins this week for our swimmers and divers (please see the related article on this page).

So let’s see what’s coming up This Week in the FAVC:

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

The final week of the regular season will be a busy one for most teams as a result of the cancellations (please see related article on this page) this past week. The Sectional Tournament begins the following week (please see related article on this page).

ANDERSON (15-3, 9-0) has won its First-Ever FAVC title and goes for an undefeated Buckeye divisional record when the Redskins face 2nd Place, HARRISON (12-5, 6-2) on Sat. Feb. 13 @ Harrison. Anderson will also travel to Sycamore (10-7) on Tuesday. The Wildcats will try to hold on to 2nd Place when they host ROSS on Wednesday, before their tilt with ANDERSON on the final Saturday of the regular season. Third place LOVELAND (11-7, 6-3) is hoping for a Wildcat loss in either of their divisional games and then winning their own finale @ 4th Place MILFORD (9-9, 4-5). The Tigers will face KINGS in a cross-divisional game on Wednesday.

Nothing changes for current Cardinal division leader, WALNUT HILLS (15-2, 8-0) and 2nd Place KINGS (12-5, 7-1). The Eagles can clinch at least a tie for its 2nd consecutive Cardinal division title this week when they host 5th Place WILMINGTON (8-8, 2-6) on Monday before meeting the Knights on the final Saturday for a chance to win the title outright. The Eagles also have a game at Hughes (13-3, the leader in the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference) on Thursday. KINGS will travel to 3rd Place LITTLE MIAMI (8-8, 4-4) on Monday and host LOVELAND on Wednesday before hosting the Eagles.

MT. HEALTHY (13-5, 7-1) is in position to win its First-Ever Scarlet division championship and can do so this week, by defeating 3rd Place NORTHWEST (7-10, 5-3) on Monday, which would clinch at least a share of the crown, and EDGEWOOD (4-13, 3-5; T 4th Place) on Saturday for the outright championship. ROSS (12-5, 6-2) must win out at TALAWANDA (T 4th Place; 6-11, 3-5) on a date to be determined and at home on Saturday against NORTHWEST. The Rams will also host HARRISON on Wednesday, while the Knights will meet inter-district rival Colerain (13-4) on Wednesday.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL

Head Coach, Donnie Gillespie’s WINTON WOODS Warriors (12-2, 6-0) can clinch at least a tie for their 6th FAVC title by defeating ANDERSON (T 5th Place; 7-8, 2-5) on Monday, and then close out 2nd Place GLEN ESTE (13-3, 5-3) with a win over LOVELAND (T 3rd Place; 4-10, 3-4) on Friday. In between those games, the Warriors will host Woodward (11-4, Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference) on Tuesday. The Trojans will face Goshen (11-4, Southern Buckeye Conference-American Division) in a non-league affair on Tuesday and then travel to HARRISON (T 5th Place; 4-12, 2-5) on Friday.

WALNUT HILLS (13-1, 7-0) and WILMINGTON (10-5, 6-0) have been scheduled to meet twice this season and have yet to play due to the inclement weather, so they will face each other on consecutive days this weekend, Friday at Wilmington and at Walnut Hills on Saturday. The Eagles will host NORTHWEST (9-6) on Tuesday. Wilmington has a make-up game with third place KINGS (7-9, 5-2) with the date yet to be determined. The Knights are still in contention pending the results of the double-dip between the Eagles and the Hurricanes. LITTLE MIAMI (4th Place; 6-9, 2-5) will travel to Kings on Friday.

The Scarlet division is a four-team race at this point. Rather than try to sort out the scenarios, let’s just take a look at the schedules:

NORTHWEST (T 1st Place; 9-6, 5-2) @ WALNUT HILLS (2/9), vs. NORWOOD (5th Place; 6-8, 3-4) on Wednesday and @ MT. HEALTHY on Friday.

MT. HEALTHY (T 1st Place; 9-7, 5-2) vs. NORTHWEST on Friday.

EDGEWOOD (T 3rd Place; 9-7, 4-3) @ NORWOOD on Friday and @ Hamilton (3-12, Greater Miami Conference).

ROSS (T3rd Place; 6-9, 4-3) vs. TALAWANDA (6th Place; 1-13, 0-7) on Friday and vs. Monroe (0-15, Southwest Buckeye).

FAVC Official Assignor Bill Klamo inducted in OHSAA Hall of Fame
On Saturday, June 27th, the FAVC's very own official assignor, Bill Klamo, was recognized by the Ohio High School Athletic Association and was one of twelve enshrined in the Officials Hall of Fame at a banquet and ceremony at the Worthington Holiday Inn.

This is the 21st class to be inducted in the hall of fame, which is the only OHSAA sanctioned hall of fame. The OHSAA is also one of the few state athletic associations to have an Officials Hall of Fame, said Henry Zaborniak, the OHSAA assistant commissioner who oversees the nearly 16,500 officials in the state of Ohio.

Bill has over 90 combined years of officiating experience in the sports of baseball, basketball and football. During his 31-year football career, Klamo saw action for 20 years in postseason games. He worked six semifinals and three championship games. As a 34-year basketball official, he was assigned to 18 regional games and two state tournaments. For 33 out of 36 years, Klamo worked regional baseball games. He umpired 11 state baseball tournaments and is a member of the Butler County Association. In addition. in 1992, he was inducted into the Ohio Amateur Softball Hall of Honor.

STAND UP AND TAKE A BOW, BILL, YOU'VE EARNED IT. THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR THE STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE FAVC AND THE STATE OF OHIO!!!
