Knight Watch: A weekly Nordonia Sports Roundup written by student reporter Christopher Hovanetz, sharing highlights and updates from the Nordonia School District — all year long.

Nordonia Hockey Update
The Nordonia hockey team continues to push through the early stretch of their season with determination. Although the Knights took a tough loss to a strong Notre Dame–Cathedral Latin squad, the team showed impressive resilience. They bounced back quickly, delivering a solid and well-earned victory against Cleveland Heights.

This win highlights the team’s ability to regroup, adjust, and respond under pressure—qualities that will be essential as they move deeper into their schedule. Coaches and players alike remain confident that the lessons learned early on will contribute to steady improvement throughout the season. Fans can look forward to more competitive battles as the Knights work toward building consistency on both ends of the ice.

Following hockey, attention shifts to the girls basketball program, which is preparing for an exciting start to its regular season. The girls open their schedule with a matchup against Strongsville, a game that is sure to set the tone for the months ahead.

The team has been working hard during preseason practices, sharpening their skills, strengthening team chemistry, and setting goals for the year. Players are eager to finally hit the court, put their preparation into action, and show the progress they have made. With returning leaders and enthusiastic new contributors, the roster is poised for growth, energy, and competitive gameplay.

The coaching staff has emphasized discipline, communication, and teamwork, and the girls are fully committed to carrying those values into every game. This season opener promises to bring excitement and momentum as the Knights officially begin their journey.

Rounding out the athletic updates for the week, the Nordonia bowling team is ready to launch its season. Competition begins this Saturday, and the bowlers are looking forward to stepping back into the lanes with focus and confidence.

After weeks of preparation, the team is motivated to build a strong foundation early and carry that energy throughout the season. With a mix of experienced athletes and promising newcomers, the lineup is balanced and driven to perform. Supporters can expect a committed group ready to represent Nordonia with pride.

As the winter sports season begins to pick up pace, it is clear that each Nordonia team is stepping into competition with determination and purpose. Whether on the ice, the court, or the lanes, our athletes continue to display dedication, teamwork, and the willingness to face challenges head-on.

The opening weeks of any season set the foundation for what lies ahead, and Nordonia’s student-athletes are already showing promising signs of growth and resilience. As fans, families, and community members, your support plays a meaningful role in encouraging these teams to push forward and strive for excellence.
