We will continue to recognize athletes monthly who exhibit our core values as a department and each team will recognize individuals at their end of season banquets.


Our core values align with the district's Portrait of a Graduate and embody what it means to be a Granville Student Athlete.


We are excited to see all our athletes demonstrate these core values on and off the athletic fields.

Leanza Boes

I am an Ohio State University graduate and have been working with Granville High School athletics since the fall of 2021. My clinical experience at THE Ohio State University includes track and field, cross-country, women’s basketball, men’s volleyball, and football. I grew up playing basketball and golf, but now I do CrossFit to stay active. I enjoy watching college football and reading in my spare time. Go Blue Aces!

Dylan Leffingwell

I have been a Blue Ace since November 2020. Before then I played college football at Ohio University and Ohio Wesleyan University, where I received my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. I have experience as a performance coach at the Division 1 level with football and baseball while also earning my master's degree in Sport Management from East Tennessee State University.


I strive to provide our athletes with a better experience than I had dealing with injuries that would ultimately keep me from playing my senior year in college. The ultimate goal is to not only prepare for what comes next in college athletics but lifelong habits to keep our kids healthy and happy!


Outside of coaching I enjoy training as an athlete and playing golf.

Let's have a great year, Go Blue Aces!
