XENIA — Former Xenia football player Gavin Gerhardt was named a team captain with the Cincinnati Bearcats for the 2023 season.
Gerhardt, a redshirt junior at UC, was one of four players named as a captain by members of the team.
He was a first-team All-Ohio player in 2019 for Xenia as an offensive lineman and helped the team reached the OHSAA postseason for the first time in school history. He was awarded the Doug Adams Most Valuable Player honor during the same season.
Gerhardt is the only returning starting on offense for Cincinnati from last year as the team begins its first season as a member of the Big 12 Conference.
Martin entering Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame
Kirk Martin, a former head coach for the women’s basketball team at Cedarville University, was selected to be inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of its Class of 2024.
Martin led Cedarville to a NCCAA Championship in 2008, as well as two NCAA Division II runner-up finishes and seven conference titles. He coached at Cedarville for 15 seasons and compiled a 380-108 record which includes three seasons eclipsing at least 30 victories and only two below 20.
He began his coaching career at Southeastern High School alongside Jamestown native Gary Bradds.
