Congratulations to Bionca Walton, our RTHS Athlete of the Week! Coach Tori Schmid shared that during the team’s four-game winning streak, Bionca made a major impact both offensively and defensively. In 16 innings of work on the mound, she did not allow a run and gave up just six hits. Offensively, she came up big going 2-for-4 with an RBI in a 1-run win over SJO. Against Danville, she drove in three RBIs in a close 8–6 victory. Coach Schmid added that Bionca’s freshman season was cut short due to injury, but we’re glad to have her back and healthy. Good job, Bionca!

Congratulations to Levi Duitsman and Aiden Cheek, our RTHS Athletes of the Week!

Coach Kyle Lewis shared that both Levi (Jr.) and Aiden (Soph.) have led the way for the team during their 6–2 stretch over the past two weeks, making a major impact both offensively and on the mound. The duo has combined for a 4–0 record during this span without allowing a single earned run, and Coach Lewis noted their performances have nearly mirrored each other.

Levi Duitsman
Pitching: 2–0 (2 starts), 0 ER, 14 K, 3 BB, .174 OBA
Offense: .370 BA, .485 OBP, 10 H, 4 RBI, 8 R, 8 SB

Aiden Cheek
Pitching: 2–0 (2 starts), 0 ER, 15 K, 3 BB, .111 OBA
Offense: .370 BA, .452 OBP, 10 H, 4 RBI, 5 R

Coach Lewis added that these two have provided the spark the team needed during a challenging stretch, helping lead the team to a 12–7 overall record and 3–2 in the Illini Prairie Conference. The coaching staff has been especially impressed with their determination and work ethic. Even beyond their success on the field, both Levi and Aiden continue to excel in the classroom.

Great job, Levi and Aiden!

Congratulations to Matthew Hardwell, our RTHS Athlete of the Week! Coach Nicholas Cole shared that Matthew has had an impressive start to his second track season. He finished in the top 7 in 2A at the Indoor Top Times meet and opened the outdoor season with a 50.2 in the 400m dash at our invite. This time is under the state qualifying time by a full second and represnts a new freshman/sophomore meet record by nearly two seconds. Matthew also runs on the varsity 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams, both of which placed second and first at the Monticello Boys Invitational. Coach Cole added that it’s exciting to think about where Matthew will finish not just this season, but before he crosses the stage in 2028!

Congratulations to Cadence Grundler, our RTHS Athlete of the Week! Cadence has been a key leader for the Eagle's Soccer Team this season. Coach Hillary Veitch noted this freshman's impressive average of 10 saves per game through the first seven contests. Her hard work paid off recently as she recorded her first clean sheet in the Eagle's JV match up against Danville. Cadence continues to grow in confidence and skill each game, setting the tone both on and off the field. Her leadership, determination and commitment to improving make her a well-deserving Athlete of the Week! Nice job Cadence Grundler!!

Congratulations to our RTHS Athlete of the Week, Airiana Bell! Airiana has shown her array of softball skill sets in the last 3 games, coming in clutch in a variety of ways when Coach Tori Schmidt and the Eagles have needed her most. Last week Airiana batted .500 with an OBP of .625, which includes a clutch 3-run HR in the 8-7 win over Oakwood-Schlarman. She also regularly draws walks and sacrifice bunts to move runners into scoring position. Over her four years, Airiana has grown a lot offensively. Coach Tori Schmidt remembers Airiana coming in her freshman year as a dead pull hitter, but after looking at the spray charts, she's proven she can get hits to all fields now. Coach Schmidt added......We're proud of you, Airiana! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations to Eli Reichenbach, our RTHS Athlete of the Week! Eli is off to a great start on the 2026 baseball season. He had big production last week going 4 of 9 in 3 games, with a single, double and 2 home runs, both of which were against Danville Schlarman which included a grand slam, leading the Eagles to an 18-4 victory. Coach Kyle Lewis describes his offensive production as outstanding, but also said Eli pitched a gem against Schlarman. Eli earned the victory on the mound going 4 innings with 0 earned runs and 7 strikeouts, while only giving up 3 hits. He has excelled as a leader on and off the baseball field. Eli recently signed his letter of intent to play baseball at Olney Central College next year. The RTHS coaching staff are looking forward to following him for years to come. Congratulations on all of your success Eli Reichenbach!!
