DICK'S Sporting Goods honors outstanding achievements in GMC girls' soccer. As she concludes her high school soccer career, Oak Hill's Presley Pennekamp stands out as one of the finest players this conference has ever seen. This senior athlete has been named the league's "Player of the Year" by conference coaches for two consecutive seasons. Presley has also earned 1st Team All-Conference honors for her entire four-year high school career as well as being named the SW District Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. She was joined on the first team All-SW District squad by teammates Ayva Moore, Leni Sullivan and Mady Linenkugel. Statistically, this past season, Pennekamp led the league with 70 points, 27 goals, and 16 assists. Presley Pennekamp's soccer honors are too numerous to list, but her selection as a National All-American by the United Soccer Coaches Association ranks among the highest. She will be taking her talents to Xavier University, where she is expected to make an immediate impact on the program.

Coming off three consecutive GMC Girls Soccer championships (tying with East in 2022), Oak Hills Highlander Head Coach Kevin Spraul has been selected by GMC head coaches as the conference’s "Coach of the Year." Coach Spraul has earned this honor in 2023, 2022, and previously in 2016. Over his nine-year career at the helm of the Highlanders, he has amassed an impressive 113-45-2 record. Receiving this prestigious accolade from his peers is especially meaningful. Appreciated for his program-building skills and dedication to young people, Kevin Spraul is the GMC Girls Soccer "Coach of the Year." Additionally, Oak Hills Girls Soccer Assist Coach Brenna Lonneman was named SW District Division I  “Assistant Coach of the Year” for her contributions to the Highlander program.

The Greater Miami Conference is an extremely competitive volleyball league, where the quality of play week in and week out is top-notch. This season, after guiding her Oak Hills Highlanders (7-2) to a hard-fought tie for second place with Sycamore (7-2), the GMC head coaches selected Ally McCarthy as the conference's "Coach of the Year." In addition to the satisfaction of being among the best teams in the GMC, being recognized by one's coaching peers is especially gratifying.
