West G Superintendent to Step Down in 2025
By Allison Wilson editor@kArlovecmediA com
After nearly a decade at the helm of West Geauga Schools, Superintendent Richard Markwardt officially announced Aug. 19 his decision to resign at the end of his current contract, July 31, 2025.
The West Geauga Schools Board of Education accepted Markwardt’s letter of resignation during its regular board meeting.
“When I accepted my current position in 2015, I would not have guessed that I would remain in the district for 10 years. However, the accomplishments we have made as a school district, despite significant challenges, have kept me here,” Markwardt wrote in his letter. “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve with such a talented group of educators.”
Board President Christina Sherwood took a moment to speak following the board’s vote to accept the superintendent’s impending resignation.
“When Dr. Markwardt was hired by the West Geauga school board 10 years ago, we were ranked 133 in the state out of over 650 oth er districts,” she said. “That board wanted to be in the top 5% in five years. Dr. Markwardt had even grander plans for our students, staff and community.”
Sherwood detailed how Mark wardt put a team together, which, along with West Geauga’s staff, helped facilitate the growth the dis trict has seen.
“As he enters his final year in formal education, we can once again expect to see our district highly ranked. But do not mistake, that ranking is merely students performing well on state tests,” Sherwood continued. “That is only a piece of the puzzle. Our students have been taught content knowl edge in a manner that allows for critical thinking and application at a significantly higher level than in years past.”
more interested in areas outside of traditional academics, and are seeking internships and volunteer opportunities, she added.
that felt so distant 10 years ago,” she concluded. “From 133 to 10 is the true testament of commitment

Phillips Leads Wolverines Golf to a Great Start
By AlAn kornspAn sports@kArlovecmediA com
The West Geauga Wolverines Golf Team is off to a great start this season.
Led by freshman Dylan Phillips, the Wolverines are shooting low scores and recently defeated the Chagrin Falls Tigers.
In addition, in the Wolverines recent match against the Hawken Hawks at Fowler's Mill Golf Course on Aug. 21, Phillips earned medalist honors as he shot a 33, two under par.
In describing his excellent round against the Hawks, Phillips emphasized that his ball striking was very good.
Just how good was Phillips' ball striking?
Phillips drove the green on the par 4 7th hole and then hit his tee
shot to within a foot of the cup on the par 3 eighth hole.
“I drove the green on 7, hit it about 320 (yards) to about 15 feet,” said Phillips. “Two putted there for birdie. Then on the next hole, I stuck it to about a foot, and buried that putt. Got a clutch up and down on the last hole. That was pretty nice.”
With Phillips excellent round of two under, Head Coach Jay Kletecka said that the Wolverines' 164 against the Hawks was their lowest score of the year.
“Dylan shooting two under par, 33, is just amazing,” said Kletecka.
Coach Kletecka said that in addition to Phillip’s low scores, he has contributed greatly to how his teammates have begun to approach the game.
“Just watching him hit and attack the pins and his ability has
taken things to the next level,” said Kletecka. “Ever since he has come to practice, everything for us has been elevated which has been amazing. Just his presence has really helped our guys better understand how to control the golf course.”
In addition to Phillips' excel lent round against the Hawks, he also led the Wolverines to a second place finish in the NEO Futures Kickoff Classic Tournament at Bri ardale Greens Golf Course.
Phillips' round of 70 (34-36) led the Wolverines to a 312 second place finish for the tournament, just two shots behind Perry.
Coach Kletecka said that in 16 years of leading Wolverines Golf, the NEO Futures Tournament score of 312 was the best tournament round

he has coached.
In addition to Phillips shooting a 70, senior golfer Landon Lear also shot in the 70s at the NEO Futures Kickoff Classic Tournament.
“We played really well, obviously led by Dylan, he's playing amazing this year,” Lear said. “So that's amazing to play behind him. Our team played really well that day and I was happy with second place.”
Coach Kletecka said that the positive team chemistry that has been developed between the senior, Lear, and the freshman, Phillips has been instrumental in motivating the rest of the team to strive for success.
With the excellent team chemistry and high level of play on the course, Wolverines Golf defeated Chagrin Falls for the first time since Kletecka has been coaching.
“That by far was an outstanding win for our guys,” said Coach Kletecka. “I think they understood the significance of it and that they had the ability to come out and compete. And it came down to the last group and we ended up pulling it off by four shots (167-171).”

Dr. Markwardt made to us and the team he has cultivated to continue this work, and this board is grateful.”
Markwardt said he hoped his resignation would not come as a surprise to anyone.
“I said in an interview with the Chagrin Valley Times over a year ago that this year would be my last year,” he said. “(Treasurer Karen Pavlat) took me to task saying, ‘You’ve announced that, now you have to announce it to the district.’”
When he first came to West G, Markwardt said he would have never expected to remain for such a long time.
“When I came here, I would have guessed probably five years,” he said. “As you know, I retired from a previous district.”
The district’s successes are what kept him there, he added.
“As Ms. Sherwood said, we have a phenomenal team here,” he said, going on to list the cafeteria staff, bus drivers, both certified and classified staff, and administrators as part of it.
“We have outstanding students who come to us from homes that truly provide for the kids, so that we get kids who come to school well fed, well clothed,” he said. “We don’t have to do so many of the extraneous tasks that other schools have to do to get kids prepared to learn because the parents do that for us.”
When he left his former district, Beachwood City Schools, Markwardt said it was

Dinner will follow.
The church is located at 8549 Mayfield Road, Chester Township.
He continued: “By far, probably one of the most exciting wins I think I have ever had coaching here at West G.”
In the victory over the Tigers, the Wolverines were led by Phillips (37), Lear (42) and JJ Rubinski (42).
As the Wolverines have had an excellent and exciting start, Phillips is optimistic about the rest of the season ahead.
“I want this team to go far in the playoffs and win a bunch of matches,” said Phillips. “Just looking to go very far.”
with the idea he would do something, though he didn’t know what at the time.
Now, as he prepares to exit West Geauga Schools, he has an idea of what the path ahead holds.
“It’s going to be to devote time to my farm, to my family and spend time doing those things,” he said.
The district is in a good place moving forward, he said, adding he expects it to have many future successes.

Wolverines Girls Tennis Excited for 2024 Season
By AlAn kornspAn sports@kArlovecmediA com
After a few years without a Wolverines Girls Varsity Tennis program during the pandemic, the program returned to West Geauga under the leadership of Coach Mary Kay Yuhas in the Fall of 2023.
Beginning their second season under Coach Yuhas, the Wolverines took on Orange on Aug. 12 and Chagrin Falls on Aug. 14.
For the 2024 season, the Wolverines have 15 players returning from last year's team.
In addition, they have added nine new players.
Although Coach Yuhas is still in the process of finalizing the lineup, she provided an overview of those expected to make significant contributions during the 2024 season.
At first singles, the Wolverines will have junior Lilly Isgro. Isgro's season started well as she won her first varsity match against Orange, 6-1, 6-2.
Isgro said that she is happy with how the season has begun and that she is excited about the growth of the team as the Wolverines have added some very good new players.
In particular, Isgro emphasized that the

Wolverines have been exerting great effort and that they have developed very good team chemistry.
“It's actually (started) pretty good, pretty impressive with all the new freshmen,” said Isgro. We play with a lot of effort and I feel like we're really good as a team and everyone just plays really well together.”
At second singles for the Wolverines will be sophomore Caroline Yeager.
Yeager's season started well as she won her first varsity match against Orange.
“The season is going great,” said Yeager. “Our games are pretty solid even though we are playing some really good teams. Our team is coming together really well considering we only started up last year.”
Currently, at third singles is sophomore Elizabeth Grisez and at first doubles is senior Maddie Oster and junior Jadyn Brendy.
Last season, Grisez and Oster were named Chagrin Valley Conference (CVC) players of the week for their victory over Jefferson at the OHSAA sectional tournament.
In addition to winning the CVC player of the week award, Oster also received the Wolverines
Most Improved Award for the 2023 season.
At second doubles, the Wolverines will have juniors Lilly Colecchia and Sofia Dipierro.
Coach Yuhas also talked about what she considers to be the main strengths of the Wolverines team in 2024.
She emphasized that the Wolverine's fitness will be a main strength of the team as they spent a lot of time focused on conditioning during the month of July.
In addition to the Wolverines high level of physical fitness, Coach Yuhas said that the Wolverines’ have a positive attitude and a strong mental game.
“They're super enthusiastic,” said Yuhas. “They're very kind to one another (and) they're kind to their opponents. That's the best thing about us, the personality and the attitude of the team.”
Coach Yuhas stressed that since the team is only in its second season after returning
