YSN TO HOST CHARITY ALL-STAR GAME FOR PARTNER SCHOOLS AT SOUTH RANGE

CANFIELD, OH-  With over 400 basketball games played on YSN this Winter, it was time to highlight some of the best and give back to those in need at the same time.  Your Sports Network is proud to announce that it will host a set of All-Star Games on March 20th that will showcase its partner school’s players.  The Network has also teamed up with South Range Senior, Jaxon Anderson on his senior project to have the game benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (www.alexslemonade.org) which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to change the lives of children with cancer through funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer.

South Range Senior, Jaxon Anderson

“We always set our sights on making the biggest impact possible,” says YSN CEO and Founder, DJ Yokley.  “These schools, student-athletes, and coaches are the heartbeat of YSN.  To team up with Jaxon to benefit children (and families) who are battling life’s toughest punch is something I feel people will rally behind” Yokley added.

All proceeds for ticket sales and souvenir sales will be donated to ALSF.  Invitations for players and coaches are being finalized, but the action will showcase some of the best talents the state has to offer.

RAISING THE BARR: CRESTVIEW’S FOOTBALL STANDOUT SIGNS WITH WALSH

“I just wanted to make sure I made the right choice for me.”

Crestview Senior Football Player and all-around athlete, Stephen Barr has made things official on the day before Valentine’s Day.  He’s going to trade in his musket for a pair of swords as he joins the Walsh Cavaliers in the fall.

While Barr made the announcement on Twitter during last week’s signing day, he put the pen to paper this afternoon.

Barr will join Coach John Fankhauser’s defensive side of the football, and serve as a playmaker in the Cavalier backfield.

We caught up with Stephen following his crossing of the “t’s” for a quick breakdown of the process.  We want to congratulate The Barr Family, as well as Crestview for producing a stellar product on and off the field.  We at YSN wish you all nothing but the best!  Go Cavs!
