LO AND BEHOLD: BELL LIVING HIS DREAM

BOWLING GREEN, OH- When Logan Bell was just a freshman at Lisbon’s David Anderson High School, you knew the potential was there for something special.  What we didn’t know at the time was just how special one young man from small-town America could be. Years later we know that the Blue Devil Boomerang Ballplayer was […]

GIVE A KNITTLE BIT

CANFIELD, OH- The Canfield Cardinals are set to engage in what they hope to be a very special season in 2022.  That has a lot to do with the players that construct this roster and the wealth of top-tier players they have all over the field, but it might have something to do with the […]

BADGER HOOPS GIVE BACK IS A SLAM DUNK

KINSMAN, OH- When COVID-19 began, the entire country learned very quickly one thing over everything else.

STRONG FOUNDATION LEADS TO STRONGER FUTURE AT SOUTH RANGE

CANFIELD, OH- In its just over 50-year existence- South Range High School has always been home to talent.  It’s been a labor of love by multiple communities to create the stigma that Raiders appreciate today walking through the halls. Seemingly forever ago, South Range realized that if they focus on the youth programs, and build […]
