CAMPBELL, OH – The Campbell Memorial Red Devils are on a hot streak after starting off the season with a rough 1-8 mark. Friday was a night they wanted to remember on Senior Night against Newton Falls. The Devils would clamp down on defense and score just enough to upset the Tigers 44-41 at home.
David Moore was the fire in the engine for Campbell and he showed that with 14 of the team’s 21 points in the first half. His five successful shots from downtown and all-around guard play around the perimeter helped the Devils keep an edge over Newton Falls. In fact, he compiled more than half of the team’s points on the night with a splendid 25-point performance.
Newton Falls had a tough time on offense in the first half, as their best scorer Mac Haidet was held scoreless in the first sixteen minutes. He would, however, pick it up for Falls in the last two quarters with key foul shots and a couple of field goals to finish the night with 11. Alex Pennington would fill in for Haidet’s silent first-half play, with three three-pointers in the first quarter. He would also end the night with 11 tallies.
Campbell proved dominance by winning all but one quarter, holding Falls to single-digits in the second and fourth. The key to success also came from them forcing Tiger turnovers, including a crucial steal on Falls’ potential game-tying possession. Along with some foul shots by Aziyah Flores in the last 0.4 seconds, the defense would cause the ball to go off the receiver’s hands, sealing the victory.
The Red Devils (11-10) are now above .500 for the first time in the 2022-23 campaign as they have now won ten of their last twelve. It is also the second year in a row where they have won at least a share of the MVAC Grey Tier title. They will end the regular season on Valentine’s Day at the Struthers Fieldhouse against the Struthers WIldcats, with a 7:00 P.M. tip. Newton Falls (15-5) will look to rebound on Tuesday with a Valentine’s Day special at Niles McKinley. That game is scheduled for a 7:00 P.M. start.

With the end of the regular season rapidly approaching, many teams are getting their final regular season games played, while also celebrating their current seniors. That was the case in Atwater, Ohio Thursday evening when The Waterloo Lady Vikings hosted their senior night. Celebrating three key players for the program the last few years with Rose Couts, Jewel Lilley and Abby Mazur all playing in their final regular season game. With emotions running high, there was still a job to be done as The Vikings welcomed a crossover matchup in The Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference (MVAC) with Gray Division representative, The Champion Flashes. Represented by two fantastic coaches in Kevin Longanecker (Waterloo) and Michael Cole (Champion), the game served as a perfect test for the two programs prior to the start of the tournament.
Playing off a distracted Viking team, Champion wasted little time scoring, capitalizing on an early three-point make and taking a 10-2 lead in a flash! Bella Meyer and Addie Warzala made up all the offense in the first for Champion, including Warzala nailing down a pair of distance shots. Rose Couts found The Vikings first field goal of the game prior to the end of the first; however, through eight minutes of play, The Flashes remained in the driver’s seat 10-4. Needing an answer and desperately looking for points, The Vikings quickly learned that English translates to offense! When junior Kaira English put Waterloo on her back and had an impressive second quarter scoring the rock, converting six shots from the field while shooting 4 of 5 from the free throw line, English scored 15 points in the second quarter alone! Couts added another bucket in the quarter, enough for The Vikings to battle all the way back and take a 22-20 lead into halftime over Champion!
Talks in the locker room went well on the defensive side of the ball in regards to halftime, as subsequently both teams went cold from the field and put up the lowest combined scoring quarter of the night. Leaving Champion with just 5 points in the third and 8 points for Waterloo, with 5 of those points being scored from Kaira English. Slightly winning the quarter, The Vikes were able to extend their lead a bit, 30-25 with the final eight minutes of play to follow. So often it is said that “basketball is a game of runs.” and that was once again the case in the final frame at Fred Brookover Gymnasium on Thursday night. With Waterloo going on a game clinching run, capped off by Portage County three-point Queen, Abby Mazur (58) hitting back-to-back triples in the fourth to push The Viking lead to double digits for the first time! Kaira English also added 9 more points of offense as she finished with 31 on the night to help Waterloo get the win 50-38!
With the loss, #19 Champion (6-17) will now look ahead to The Division3, Northeast 2 tournament bracket where they will face the winner of #2 Garrettsville Garfield (19-2) vs. #23 Campbell-Memorial (1-19). Champion is not slated to be in-action again until Saturday, February 18th for a 1:00 p.m. tip-off. The Viking victory now sets #2 Waterloo (13-6) up in The Division 4, Northeast 3 bracket, where they will host #4 Canton Central Catholic (12-9) on Wednesday, February 15th for a 7:00 p.m. tip-off!

POLAND OH- The rivalry between Poland and Canfield is hard to match. No matter the sport, you know when the Cardinals and Bulldogs square off that is going to be a contested game. Thursday night in Poland was no different as a battle between 2 of the top 3 YSN power ranked teams met up. Canfield proved just why they were number 1 though as they ran away late for a 56-37 win over the Bulldogs. It was senior Abby Muckleroy that set the tone early. With her teammates struggling to find the hoop early, Muckleroy hit her first four shots from beyond the arc. It let the Cardinals run out to a 17-5 lead after 1 quarter. Poland wasn’t about to lay down though. Their three point game started to click as four different players hit a deep shot in the second. They were able to cut the lead down to three before Canfield pushed before halftime, including a Carlie Harmon mid range jumper at the buzzer to go to the locker room. That would give the Cardinals enough momentum to keep Poland at bay the rest of the game.
The Cardinals hit 10 threes as a team. Muckleroy hit half of those and finished with a team-high 15 points. Harmon had another good showing against Poland as she totaled 14. In two games against the Bulldogs Harmon has 38 points. Kate Sahli was also in double figures for Canfield with 13.
Poland was led by Sarah Forsyth who battled her way to a tough 11 points. Mary Brant chipped in 8 points to the offense, and Katie McDonald finished with 7.
Canfield concludes the regular season with the win and now looks ahead to their tournament run as they host Conneaut on February 15. Poland has one more tune up before their district run starts as they’ll travel to Mooney on Saturday.
