It was a rollercoaster week for Loveland athletics. Chase Martin and Elizabeth Madison had some amazing individual accomplishments on the court and mats. We are coming to the stretch run for our winter sports and the postseason will be here before you can blink. These next weeks will be pivotal for our Tigers!

Loveland Basketball

The Boy’s Basketball team is going through a bit of a rough patch. They’ve dropped five straight and are now 9-9 on the year. They’ve been outscored by just 34 points in those losses so most have been extremely close. But in their last two games the offense has really struggled, scoring just 43 and 37 points. These are their lowest outputs since putting up just 34 in a loss to Winton Woods on January 23.
