In Mt. Healthy City School District, something special is happening. The Mt. Healthy Owls football program is on a journey marked by growth and unrelenting passion, both on and off the field. With a burning desire to reach higher and accomplish more, the Owls are setting new standards of excellence under the guidance of Head Coach Jordan Stevens.
In just his second year as head coach, Coach Jordan Stevens has brought about significant changes to the football program at Mt. Healthy. With a strong focus on discipline, teamwork, and unselfishness, Coach Stevens has instilled a culture of excellence that has been instrumental in propelling the team forward. "We expect to be great now. We have developed a mindset of never being satisfied, which, in turn, has made us more competitive on and off the field," Coach Stevens shared.
"In life, being worthy isn't enough. No one is going to give us anything because we're worthy of it. We must fight, scratch, and claw to WANT and EARN MORE!" he added, emphasizing the importance of always striving for more.
As Mt. Healthy's Athletic Director, Terell Davis has had the privilege of witnessing the progression of these players throughout their high school careers. He recognizes the extraordinary growth and development within the team and shares some inspiring examples. "My Jersey, Your Impact" is a tradition where players choose a teacher who has significantly impacted their lives. Coach Stevens extended this tradition to honor his seniors, collecting childhood photos and information to highlight their growth from childhood to senior year in "My Growth, Your Impact".
As our Mt. Healthy Owls gear up for their home playoff game, the significance of playing on home turf goes beyond the game itself. It symbolizes the joint effort to sustain the change within these young men. The players understand that they are not just representing themselves on the field but the entire community and district.
Facing the Chaminade Julienne Eagles from the Greater Catholic League presents a significant challenge. Coach Stevens is gearing up his team to face a strong opponent, emphasizing the importance of discipline and unity to prevail.
The journey of the football team stands as a shining example of dedication, growth, and achievement. It showcases how passion and a shared commitment to excellence can lead to remarkable progress. Coach Stevens, Athletic Director Terell Davis, and the players, along with the entire school community, embody the spirit of #WORTHY as they strive for more in every aspect of their lives.
The Owls are ready to take on the playoffs. As they step onto the field, they carry the hopes, dreams, and determination of the entire community. The journey continues, and their story of growth, excellence, and passion is far from over.
