INTRODUCING OUR NEXT LAROSA FAMILY FOUNDATION GAME CHANGER MVP:

BETH SCHMALTZ!

In a sports world often focused on what happens on the scoreboard, Beth Schmaltz is focused on preserving what lasts long after the game ends—the moments, memories, and heart behind high school athletics. A familiar and dedicated presence across South Ripley High School sporting events, Beth has committed herself to capturing student-athletes in their most meaningful moments.

From weeknight games to weekend tournaments, Beth shows up in every condition, rain, cold, heat, or shine—transporting professional-level equipment and spending hours on her feet to ensure the most special moments are captured. Her work continues well beyond the game, with countless additional hours spent editing and organizing thousands of photos. AND she provides the images free of charge to South Ripley High School athletes, families, and coaches, making professional-quality sports photography accessible to all.

According to South Ripley Athletic Director Jeff Gorrell, Beth’s impact extends far beyond the photos themselves. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for effort, teamwork, and the pride that comes from representing a school and community. By preserving game-winning plays, championship celebrations, and everyday moments of grit and determination, Beth creates lasting memories that define a season.

Beth’s dedication is driven by a genuine belief in supporting student-athletes and honoring their hard work. Her generosity, commitment, and behind-the-scenes service exemplify the values celebrated by the LaRosa Family Foundation Game Changers program.
