Goodie's headed where??

Germany? Really?!
Yep, you bet! Former Colerain FB star Dominick Goodman ('05) has left his spot on the local Cincinnati Commandos to join a semi-pro team in Europe, the Dresden Monarchs.



Goody has made his mark at the high school, college and semi-pro level. Now he takes on the world stage to showcase his talents. Way to go Dom!

WeAreColerain.com wishes Dominick the very best in Germany and we hope for a safe return to the states one day, possibly on the roster of a local NFL franchise.

Former Colerain FB Star having a MAJOR impact

For those that remember way back to 2004-2006, you will remember a certain safety/return man for the Cardinals that created complete chaos in the secondary against opposing offenses. His name was Eugene Clifford ('07) and he is entering his Senior season and Tennessee State University.


Eugene has been named to a couple of Pre-season All-America lists and has done a tremendous job getting his football career back on track after a few hiccups in Columbus.


Eugene's talent has never been in question and with his Sr. year in front of him, who knows? A shot at the NFL could be in this former Cardinal's future.


WeAreColerain.com would like to wish Euguene the best of luck in all his endeavors both on, and off, the football field.

That is if you are Mount St. Joseph Recruiting Coordinator Kyle Prosser who, in an article for TriStateFootball.com (Lions Look To Local Prospects), individually points out former Colerain signal -caller Greg Tabar ('10).

"We felt like we got the best athlete in the city with Greg Tabar from Colerain," recruiting coordinator Kyle Prosser said. "We are doing really well with the 275 loop and we got some bright spots coming in from outside the area as well."

More quotes from Tabar and others and a great write-up on Mount St. Joseph by TriStateFootball.com founder Dan Clasgens are available at the above link. It's a great site and the folks at TriStateFootball.com do a tremendous service for prep football in the tri-state area. Check it out!

Congratulations to Greg and best wishes on your future at Mount St. Joseph. You may soon be a lion, but you will ALWAYS be a CARDINAL!

We knew she was a special athlete when she wore the Cardinal colors. It comes as no surprise that graduate Emily Schwaeble ('09) is continuing her outstanding play at the next level.
