River View athletes ready for college
By Josie Sellers
At River View High
School’s most recent signing
day, three more members of
the Class of 2020 celebrated
their opportunities to compete
at the next level.
Donnie Kehl, who played
football and basketball for
the Black Bears, plans to
head to Mount Vernon
Nazarene University to play
lacrosse and possibly JV
basketball.
“We are pretty excited
for him, but these four years
have gone by quick,” Kehl’s
father Rob said.
Rob Kehl said they actually
went to Mount Vernon
to talk about basketball, but
the lacrosse coach was the
one who ended up showing
them around the campus.
“It sounded really interesting,
and Donnie decided
he wanted to try something
different,” Rob Kehl said.
Rob Kehl said he likes
that Mount Vernon is a small
school and close to home.
“The people there are really
friendly, and I think it will
be a good fit for him,” he
said.
Donnie Kehl plans to
major in phycology at Mount
Vernon.
“I really liked that there
were student workers almost
everywhere on campus,”
Donnie Kehl said. “It seemed
like there were plenty of
ways to make money while
working on campus.”
Donnie Kehl also is
thankful for his parents’ help
in being able to take this
next step in life. “They were
always trying to get me to
get good grades so I could go
to college,” he said.
Donnie Kehl had a few
words of wisdom to share
with his younger teammates
from high school.
“Don’t be afraid to try
something new because
you never know what might
happen,” he said.
Donnie Kehl’s mom,
Tara, is excited to see him
try a new sport. “College
sports are fun to watch, and
lacrosse is totally different
than anything we are used
to,” she said.
Next to sign her letter of
intent was Aliya Stevens,
who is headed to Indiana
Wesleyan University for

track to continue competing
in distance events.
“It’s exciting,” said Janae
Stevens, Aliya’s mom. “She’s
only ran for two years, and
she’s really enjoyed it.”
Janae Stevens said Aliya
looked at several schools
to find one that had a good
art program where she also
could run.
“Indiana Wesleyan is
going to be a good fit for
her,” Janae Stevens said.
Aliya Stevens’ father
Zach agreed with his wife.
“It’s pretty cool seeing her
sign,” he said. “She’s worked
hard at track and art. I’m
going to miss her though. I
tried to talk her into staying
closer to home. It took
her a little while to find her
school, but Indiana Wesleyan
had the running and art,
so it’s a good fit.”
Aliya Stevens plans to
major in studio arts and is
excited to continue to grow
as an artist and runner. “I
love the feeling you have
afterward when you run,”
she said. “A lot of people
call it runner’s high. You feel
accomplished and know you
pushed yourself. I’ve heard
in college you drop time,
and I’m looking forward to
that and being on the team.
I came to this high school
late and didn’t know a lot of
people. Running helped me
find my friends.”
River View track coach
Megan Philabaum is excited
to see Aliya Stevens move
on.
“She’s a phenomenal athlete,”
Philabaum said. “She
is very determined at setting
goals and has high expectations
for achieving those.”
Philabaum also was on
hand for DJ Marshall’s signing.
He plans to head to Mariette
College to run track and
double major in computer
science and psychology.
“He has very good work
ethic,” Philabaum said. “He’s
also a great leader. I know he
will learn from the older college
kids’ experiences and
move up the ladder.”
Marshall looked at a few
other colleges but really
liked Mariette for track. “We
go there for ECOL every
year, so I knew the track,” he
said. “I visited the campus
and thought it was nice.”
Marshall competed at the
state meet last year in the
4-by-100 and 4-by-200 and
plans to continue sprinting
in college. “I like them
because they are short,
sweet and to the point,” he
said.
Marshall is thankful for
all his coaches, friends, family
and especially his late
grandpa for pushing him
and keeping him going with
track.
