The Chillicothe school and community are proud of this year’s softball season. The girls team represented the school very well throughout the fall. Going to state competition two years in a row has built a legacy that will never be forgotten in the Chillicothe Softball Program. The team set goals for themselves and were constantly dedicated throughout the season. Each game they gave their absolute best, considering they went into overtime frequently.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes II and Travis Kelce ended up putting on a performance that made “The Fonz” proud.

Developing well over the course of their 2022 season after graduating most of their offensive firepower and veteran starting goalkeeper, the Chillicothe High School soccer Hornets, who finished fourth in the 8-teams league standings, reaped some additional reward for their effort when recent voting among Midland Empire Conference coaches produced some level of all-conference recognition for eight of them, CHS head coach Tim Cunningham disclosed at last Thursday’s postseason recognition event in the Mervyn W. Jenkins Expo Center at the school district’s Litton Agri-Science Learning Center. Hornets included on this season’s all-MEC squad, with their position and level of recognition noted parenthetically, include (from left) – Front – Josh Allen (firstteam defender), Wyatt Brandsgaard (firstteam midfielder), Sam Reeter (first-team forward), Tyler Stephens (defender, honorable mention); Back – Jackson Reeter (midfielder, second team), Carson Steele (goalkeeper, honorable mention), Gabe Hansen (midfielder, honorable mention), and Jacob Allen (forward, honorable mention). Brandsgaard and Jo. Adams were the top vote-getters at their respective positions, the CHS coach pointed out. Steele, Hansen, Brandsgaard, and both Reeters were seniors this season with the Adamses and Stephens juniors. After a slow start, the 2022 Hornets rallied to post a 9-11-1 record, including a 4-3 MEC mark. At the recognition event, Cunningham praised, “This team came so far in a number of ways… competing with great character in each game,” an assessment, he stressed, the laurels from other MEC coaches bear out. Jo. Adams and S. Reeter also were first-team coaches’ association all-district with Brandsgaard and J. Reeter were second- team. Subsequent to the awards program, Cunningham reports, S. Reeter was selected to the soccer coaches association’s all-region team. (PAUL STURM/ C-T PHOTO)
