ANDERSON, Twp − Lucas Callahan is a senior leading the Anderson boys soccer team in goals this season.
He’s also the loneliest high school football player in Cincinnati.
Throughout the week, Callahan is juggling a busy after-school schedule of soccer and football practices. On Fridays, he’s found out that being involved with Anderson’s special teams comes with plenty of downtime as he masters his routine of kicking into a practice net.
Anderson’s kicker is senior Lucas Callahan (45). He has made 15 extra points this season.
“I do not punt,” said Callahan, who has hit 15 extra points this season. “Evan Dreyer does not punt.”
Callahan has mastered the art of going with the flow. His main duties on game day are to win the field position battle with kickoffs. Anderson opts for a point-after attempt about half the time and never settles for field goals.
“The offense does its job. It makes me happy when we win games,” Callahan said. “I’ll do my job whenever the time comes.”

If you’re a football person, it’s an emotional decision. I’m happy our kids executed, and our coaches and community believe in what we do and how we do it.
“It’s been good for us.”
