DICK'S Sporting Goods is proud to recognize the outstanding achievements within the Greater Miami Conference this past season. In a highly competitive schedule, the Mason Comets claimed the league title with an undefeated 9-0 record, narrowly edging out rival Sycamore Aviators, who finished with a strong 8-1 mark. With rosters stacked with exceptional talent, the conference’s head coaches selected Mason’s Addy Bianchini to represent the “best of the best” as the 2025 GMC Player of the Year. Additionally, in recognition of program excellence and exemplary leadership, Mason Head Coach Eric Schatzle was named the 2025 GMC Coach of the Year.

Mason’s Addy Bianchini, a senior outside hitter and setter, is a rare three-time First Team All-GMC performer. Her athletic impact on the court was undeniable, tallying 60 aces, 468 assists, 284 digs, and a 1.89 PAVG. Her leadership on the court played a pivotal role in the Comets’ success this season, which culminated not only in a league title but also a Southwest District Championship.

In recognition of his leadership, dedication, and commitment to the program, the Greater Miami Conference head coaches honored Mason’s Eric Schatzle by naming him the 2025 GMC Coach of the Year. Continuing the legacy of Comet volleyball excellence, Mason not only secured its tenth consecutive league title but also completed an undefeated conference season (9–0). The Comets finished the regular season with a 21–5 overall record against a demanding schedule, ultimately capturing a Southwest District Championship and advancing to the regional semifinals, where top-ranked Seton ended their postseason run. One of the highest honors a coach can receive is the recognition of his coaching peers. Being selected "Coach of the Year" by one's fellow coaches is truly a professional milestone.

DICK'S Sporting Goods proudly recognizes the outstanding team and individual achievements in Greater Miami Conference (GMC) Boys Soccer this past fall. In a highly competitive environment, the margin between victory and defeat is razor-thin. The GMC showcases some of the finest athletes and coaches in Ohio, making the selection of the "best of the best" a tough task. After thoughtful deliberation, the conference head coaches named senior Ryan Boyd of Lakota West as the GMC "Player of the Year" and Mason Head Coach Garrett Szabo as the league's "Coach of the Year."

Ryan Boyd, a three-time First Team All-Conference performer, has been a four-year starter for his Lakota West Firebird contingent. This past season, he recorded 10 goals and 3 assists, totaling 23 points. His on-field leadership helped guide the team to a second-place finish—just half a game (8-1-0) behind eventual league champion Mason. Boyd was also instrumental in Lakota West’s postseason success, which culminated in a run to the OHSAA “Sweet Sixteen.” While his offensive firepower will be missed, Ryan Boyd leaves behind a legacy of leadership for future Firebird soccer players to emulate.

For the second consecutive year, GMC head coaches have chosen to honor Mason Head Coach Garrett Szabo for his hard work, dedication, and program development. Under his leadership, the Mason Comets have consistently produced teams that rank among the very best in Ohio. Facing one of the most competitive schedules in the state, the Comets compiled a stellar 14-1-3 record. This included an undefeated conference run at 8-0-1, with the only blemish being a 1-1 draw against conference rival Sycamore. Equally strong on both ends of the field, the Comets scored 61 goals while allowing just 7. This impressive defensive display featured an incredible 9 shutouts. In recognition of Coach Szabo’s program balance and excellence, his GMC peers named him the conference “Coach of the Year.”
