URSULINE IRISH FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP. 6) WITH DAN REARDON

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – Coming off a victory in one of the most thrilling games in the Mahoning Valley this season over Chaney, the Ursuline Irish need to turn the page quickly mentally as they face another very tough opponent this week that has given them trouble in the past in Akron St. Vincent St. Mary’s. St. V’s, also dubbed the “fighting Irish” have had their way historically with Ursuline on the gridiron, as the Irish have not taken down St. V’s in a decade. Both teams come into this battle with only one loss on the season, St. V’s loss coming to Glenville way back in Week 1 25-0, while Ursuline’s only blemish on their record came to the hands of Austintown Fitch back in Week 4, where the Irish fell 42-34.

In this week’s coaches’ corner, Head Coach Dan Reardon discusses last week’s thrilling victory, what to look forward to in this week’s matchup from both sides of the ball, and more!

CHAMPION FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 2) WITH THOMAS CONRAD

/in /by

WARREN OH- In the very competitive Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference’s (MVAC) Gray Tier, The Champion Flashes look to take the next step. The Flashes dropped their first two non-conference games of the season to 5-0 Warren JFK and 4-1 Rootstown before winning three straight games, including two conference matchups to exceed their win total from a season ago. 

A breakout game against a very good Ravenna Southeast team, followed by a gritty and gutsy close conference victory against Newton Falls. Joey Fell and Nick Vesey have been the engines that make the offense go, and they went full steam against LaBrae to set Champion up with a 3-2 record at the midway mark of the season. 

The Flashes feature matchups with Brookfield, Crestview and Garfield in the second half of the season, with their Week 6 matchup slated to host The 4-1 G-Men of Garrettsville. Champion Head Coach Tom Conrad got the chance to stop by Running Point and discuss with Anthony and Ty about the season so far and the goals going forward for The Flashes. You will not want to miss this YSN EXCLUSIVE with Coach Conrad!

URSULINE IRISH FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP. 5) WITH DAN REARDON

/in /by

* Contributed by Anthony Romo *

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Ursuline Irish got back on track last week with a 28-14 victory over a very tough Warren G. Harding squad. The Raiders struck first after a very long touchdown by star quarterback Dalys Jett, but after that Ursuline settled in. Jack Ericson was very efficient through the air for the Irish, connecting on 16-of-20 pass attempts for two touchdowns through the air. Led by the passing attack, Ursuline was able to rattle off 28 unanswered points en route to their victory.

Now looking forward to this week, arguably the biggest game of the year in the Steel Valley Conference will take place as the Irish travel to Rayen Stadium to take on the undefeated Chaney Cowboys. Chaney, who was ranked 4 th in this week’s AP State Poll, knocked off the previously undefeated Canfield Cardinals 16-13 in a defensively dominated contest. The Cowboys will come into Friday night looking to knock off Ursuline for the first time since the resurrection of varsity athletics at Chaney in 2019.

Hear what Coach Reardon has to say about this week’s highly-anticipated matchup in our weekly Coaches Corner from the Golden Dawn!

EDISON FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH MIKE COLLOPY

/in /by

RICHMOND OH- When talking about programs that have steadily improved over the course of the last few years, look no further than The Edison Wildcats. Only a few years removed from a 2019 season which, unfortunately, saw The Wildcats have an 0-10 season. However, a 3-5 campaign in the COVID year and a 8-4 year last season shows the improvements Edison has continued to make. 

Of course credit goes to all the kids that have worked so hard to turn the program around, but thanks must also fall on the skipper Mike Collopy’s shoulders. Coach Collopy, a multiple sport coach that has seen plenty of success on the baseball field, has been a huge part in building the football program.

Starting off the season with a perfect 5-0 record, the improvements look like they are continuously being made for The Wildcats. Edison will have a tough road test against The Toronto Red Knights (4-1) on Friday, September 23rd. 

Coach Collopy got the chance to stop by Running Point to discuss with Anthony and Ty about the takeaways from the first half of the season, the goals and improvements for the second half and the upcoming matchup with Toronto. All this and more in this edition of Coaches Corner, found EXCLUSIVELY on YSN!
