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.

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...

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.

Welcome back to the Spring Edition of Off the Reels! This week, I interviewed one of Springboro’s best from the diamond.  Meet Springboro High School Baseball Outfielder (and recent graduate) Ian Pennington… Baseball Story: Ian started playing baseball as soon as he was old enough to pick up a bat. His dad introduced him to baseball, basketball, and football, but baseball ended up being his favorite and was the sport he chose to keep playing. He played for the Panthers for his entire high school career, playing any positions in the outfield including his favorite position: Centerfield.  Ian’s favorite pro baseball team: Ian’s favorite professional team is our hometown team: the Cincinnati Reds! Pro player Ian looks up to: Growing up in southwest Ohio as a Reds fan and a baseball player meant that Ian went to a lot of Reds games through the years. One of his favorite players to watch is Joey Votto. Ian really admired Votto’s game and said, “his approach at the plate is somethin...
