Welcome to Off the Reels! I grew up in Ohio, which might make you think I love football. I truly love all sports, but I’ve grown up at the ice rink. This blog is dedicated to my personal favorite sport to watch: hockey! With Off the Reels, I’ll be sharing updates behind the scenes of Springboro High School Hockey.

Welcome back to the Spring Edition of Off the Reels! This week, I interviewed another track and field athlete who made a big impact in just one year with the Panthers. Meet Springboro High School's Track & Field Athlete (and recent graduate) Jordan Espinoza... Track story: Jordan’s story on the track started in first grade when she competed for fun in the Junior Olympics at her elementary school. She beat all of the boys in her class. With this early win, she wanted to continue competing in track to see how far it would take her. During her middle school years, Jordan met more serious competition, traveling to other schools for meets. This was when she really fell in love with track and field. Jordan moved to Springboro from California just before her senior year. This season, she competed in the 100m, 200m, long jump, triple jump, and occasionally relays and the 400m for the Panthers.  Jordan’s track accomplishments: Jordan placed fourth in the long jump in the Greater Western...

The Panthers played in the Blue Jackets Cup against Olentangy on Friday night. Goals were scored by Danny Murrow and A.J. DeRosa, but with several skaters injured and the bench running short, the Panthers were defeated. On the bright side, this gave them a little bit of extra rest before the OHSAA District Tournament this weekend. The Panthers will be on the road to the Ice Haus at Nationwide Arena to face off against Bishop Watterson at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. This week, I talked to Junior Liam Hatton to get the inside scoop on playing for the Panthers.  Meet #3 Liam Hatton…  Hockey story: Liam started playing hockey when he was eight years old, and he has been playing ever since. He wanted to give hockey a try because he liked its fast pace and intensity. Liam lived in California, where he played for a team called the Titans. Fun fact about this team: they were funded by the L.A. Kings! Gameday routines: All of the Panthers hold their own unique game day rituals. Some shotgun...

Happy holidays, and welcome back to the Winter Edition of Off the Reels! This week, I am featuring an amazing and hard-working athlete.  Meet SHS Cheerleader Bella Hurley… Cheer story: Bella is a senior in high school, and she has cheered on all of Springboro’s Varsity teams: Sideline Football, Sideline Basketball, Competition, and Game Day. Bella’s cheer journey started in second grade. Her mom cheered when she was in high school and knew Springboro had a strong cheer program, so she encouraged Bella to take advantage of her gymnastics and dance skills and try cheerleading. Bella started as soon as she could, but she didn’t immediately fall in love with cheering. She said, “at first it definitely wasn’t my biggest interest,” noting that she tried other sports and activities. However, Bella realized cheer was where she belonged. The friendships and the community she became a part of were unlike those of any other sport she tried.  Bella’s leadership: Bella is a natural leader ...
