Louisville, OH — In an electrifying kickoff to the season, Louisville Leopards’ Head Coach, Tom Siegfried, sat down with YSN’s Ty Bartell on the latest episode of Coach’s Corner to preview what promises to be an exhilarating year for Louisville boys’ basketball.

“This year’s team is unique,” stated Coach Siegfried, reflecting on his impressive 18-year tenure. “Our top eight players are all seniors, and that level of experience and maturity can make a huge difference.” The Leopards’ senior-heavy lineup, featuring talents like Beau Siegfried, Brayden Gross, and Ashton Marshall, already boasts commitment from some key players to top colleges. Adding depth, players such as Devin Bailey and Kolton Loy are set to make significant contributions.

Coach Siegfried emphasized the rigorous schedule designed to challenge the team. “Playing a tough schedule shapes these young men, preparing them for life’s challenges,” Siegfried explained. Highlights include matchups against powerhouse programs like St. Vincent-St. Mary, St. Edward, and St. Ignatius, along with a prestigious national event at Torrey Pines, California. In discussing the secret to the program’s sustained success, Siegfried highlighted the strong feeder system. “We’ve gone from 80 youth participants to over 200 campers, with 12 travel teams. It’s about connection and instilling a love for the game early on,” said Siegfried.

As the Leopards gear up to face Talmage the day after Thanksgiving, the community buzzes with anticipation. A full house is expected at every game, a testament to the solid support garnered over the years. The team also debuts a new video board, a symbol of the community’s unwavering investment. Coach Siegfried concluded with a nod to traditions, revealing his favorite Thanksgiving dish—sweet potato stuffing—and inviting alumni for a friendly game to kickstart the festivities. With such a dedicated coach and a formidable team, the Louisville Leopards are poised to make waves this season.

The inaugural episode, which aired last week, provided listeners with a behind-the-scenes look at the high school football team’s latest victory and the unwavering community support that fuels their success.

Coach Venable, a seasoned defensive line coach, embarked on a detailed discussion about Campbell Memorial’s decisive win against St. Thomas Aquinas. Assessing his team’s performance, Venable rated it a ‘B’, noting areas for improvement but also expressing pride in the players’ resilience and effort, especially amid travel disruptions due to local fair activities.

“It’s about building depth and keeping fresh bodies on the field,” Venable emphasized, acknowledging his team’s strategic player rotations which contributed significantly to their defensive shutout.

The conversation also highlighted Venable’s dual role, extending his expertise to the offensive line and his commitment to community engagement. A lifelong Campbell Memorial advocate, Venable brings a rich personal history to his coaching approach, having graduated from the same district where he now invests his time. His dedication extends beyond the field, serving in the school’s in-school suspension program, reinforcing discipline and structure among the younger students.

“It’s all about commitment,” Venable said, after reflecting on his passion for both football and his community. “I’ve got deep roots here; my family’s history is intertwined with Campbell, and that motivates me every day.”

In a heartfelt moment, Venable credited his family’s support, particularly his wife Chantelle, and spoke fondly of his late father, his lifelong role model. The tribute to his father underscored the deeply personal values that shape his coaching philosophy.

The lighthearted end to the podcast came with a nod to Tavern 26’s famed menu, where Coach Venable revealed his favorite — the haddock tacos, a testament to his love for seafood.
