Senior third baseman Thomas was selected as most valuable player by members of the Harrison Wildcats baseball team, which captured the first Southwest Ohio Conference (SWOC) title and inished seventh in the final city poll conducted by the Cincinnati Enquirer. Thomas also was named the team’s most improved player and was one of three Harrison players named first-team all-SWOC, according to coach Shawn Sowders.

An outstanding collegiate baseball season for former Harrison Wildcat Kyle Nowlin culminated last week when the Eastern Kentucky University freshman was named to the Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-American team by the publication Collegiate Baseball.

The Harrison Wildcats held a one-week football camp last week for high school athletes as the process has begun for the start of the 2013 high school football season, which will begin on Friday, Aug. 30, when the Wildcats travel to St. Leon, Ind., to take on the East Central Trojans.

Ready for it this time
Harrison football coach Kent McCullough, entering his third season, believes this year’s team already is further ahead in all three phases of the game, offense, defense, and special teams, than any of his previous teams.
“Everyone knows the expectations,” he said.
