Miller chalks up 100th career win coaching field hockey for Oakwood Schools Mark another accomplishment in the history book for Oakwood High School field hockey as Varsity Coach Mitch Miller notched his 100th win Sept. 16 as OHS beat local rival Fairmont High School 4-0. In his 11th season as the varsity coach, Miller says he was always “fascinated by the sport” after attending Fairmont West High School in Kettering and watching his friends win the first-ever state field hockey championship. Later, he went from being a field hockey parent to taking over the Dayton Indoor Field Hockey program in the spring of 2002. When Miller came to OHS as a teacher in 2005, Randy Neff, the Oakwood Junior High Athletic Director at the time, approached Miller to see if he would be interested in helping the young OJH field hockey program. Miller says he “jumped at the chance” and has been working with Oakwood field hockey ever since. “I never thought I’d be coaching the sport this long. But it’s such an amazing sport and being around our Pictured from left to right are Oakwood High School Junior Varsity Coach Claire Hall, Varsity Coach Mitch Miller, and Assistant Coach Cindy Songer. amazing players every day is rejuve- nating!

Sophomore Jason Purks (17) goes wild celebrating his goal with 27:06 remaining in the game. Senior Patrick O’Hara (21) caught up to Purks, as senior quad captain Logan Morrissey and junior Charlie Boucuvalas tried to catch up. Twenty-one minutes later, Purks scored again for his second goal with 5:39 remaining in the game. On a chilly and windy Senior Recognition Night, Oakwood shut out Carroll 3-0 at Lane Stadium.

Field hockey Jills best Fairmont

Though the scoreboard had cleared the Oakwood 4-0 field hockey victory score over Fairmont to prepare for the JV game, it does not erase the 100th win by Coach Mitch Miller. Junior Lydia McCombe scored the Jills’ first goal with 10:29 remaining in the first period. Juniors Mallory Moran, tri-captain Elise Houdeshell and sophomore Allyssa Nelson-Mays rounded out the scoring. The Oakwood JV field hockey Jills shut out Fairmont 10-0. Due to the number of available players from Fairmont, the game was played 7-ver- sus-7. Sophomore Allyssa Nelson-Mays recorded 4 goals. Juniors Emilia Arzola, Abigail Menza and Delainey Crane scored two goals each.
