The 33rd Annual Buddy LaRosa High School Sports Hall of Fame - Cindy Bridgeland Crilley
Cindy Bridgeland Crilley, Indian Hills High School Class of 1970. At Indian Hill High School, Cindy earned 14 varsity letters starring in tennis, field hockey, basketball and volleyball. She was a 4-year starter in tennis, field hockey and basketball and earned a collective 6 MVPs during that time. Tennis was clearly her dominant sport. While no state tournaments existed at that time, Cindy won the Cincinnati Met title (18-and-under and doubles titles), was a member of the Junior Wightman Cup and won the Nation City Teams Tournament. In basketball, she was the team's leading scorer all four seasons.
The 33rd Annual Buddy LaRosa High School Sports Hall of Fame - Nate Dusing
Nate Dusing, Covington Catholic High School, Class of 1997. Probably the greatest male swimmer in Northern Kentucky history, Olympic medalist Nate Dusing is only the 13th first ballot inductee in LaRosa's Hall of Fame history and the first inductee from Covington Catholic High School.
The 33rd Annual Buddy LaRosa High School Sports Hall of Fame - Monica Niemann Zumstein
Monica Niemann Zumstein, Ursuline Academy Class of 1991. An incredibly gifted athlete, Monica Niemann earned 12 varsity letters – starting four straight years in basketball, softball and soccer. She may well be the best all-around athlete in the history of Ursuline Academy as well as being the first LaRosa's Hall of Fame inductee from her school.
The 33rd Annual Buddy LaRosa High School Sports Hall of Fame - Dod Wales
Dod Wales, St. Xavier High School Class of 1995. Clearly one of the two great names in St. Xavier swimming history, Dod Wales won an amazing 12 of maximum 16 Ohio state swimming titles during his storied career with the AquaBombers. Wales, a two-time finalist for the LaRosa's Male Athlete of the Year award, was a 15-time High School All-American.
The 33rd Annual Buddy LaRosa High School Sports Hall of Fame - Jaime Walz Richey
Jaime Walz Richey, Highlands High School Class of 1996. What more needs be said than Jaime Walz is the greatest female basketball player in Kentucky history and one of the best ever in the nation. She still ranks as the No. 1 scorer in Kentucky history – male or female – with 4,948 points over her six-year varsity career. Able to play high school ball in Kentucky as a seventh grader, only Jaime's 4-year high school total is recognized nationally. Therefore her 3,872 points ranks No. 10 all time in U.S. history.
The 33rd Annual Buddy LaRosa High School Sports Hall of Fame - Owen Hauck
Owen Hauck, coached at Highlands, Mt. Healthy, and Boone County High Schools from 1962-1997. He clearly ranks among the best of a select group of Northern Kentucky high school football coaching legends. Though known in recent years as "Shaun Alexander's high school coach," Coach Hauck's body of work clearly encompasses much greater recognition. His career spanned four decades at four different high schools on both sides of the Ohio River. When the dust finally settled in 1997 after 25 seasons at Boone County High School, Hauck's overall career record was 284-130-4.
The 33rd Annual Buddy LaRosa High School Sports Hall of Fame - Caryl Schawe
Caryl Schawe, coach at Our Lady of Angels and Roger Bacon High Schools beginning in 1979. If Roger Bacon volleyball is the "David" among the Goliaths in Cincinnati high school volleyball circles, then Caryl Schawe could be rightly called a giant among the area coaches. Coaching one of the smaller schools in what has been regarded as one of the toughest volleyball leagues in the United States, Schawe has put her stamp on the Lady Spartans' program as one to be feared and respected.
