MESMERIZING MEMORIAL RED DEVILS

/in , /by

CAMPBELL, OH – The Campbell Memorial Red Devils football team has athletes that are second to none all over the field, in multiple different positions, and those athletes all have different skill sets but one common goal! That goal is to win! Not only do they all want to win, they all have a unique ability to lead in different ways too! One such leader is senior Adyn Vazquez. Adyn combines a special gift of athleticism from his wideout and defensive back positions but also being a vocal leader that keeps everyone on the same page whether it’s in practice or during games. Vazquez has let his play do most of the talking this season as he has been seen in two weeks flying all over the field on defense, covering the opposition’s top wide receiver, and also making big plays catching the football or even on end arounds on offense!

For as long as everyone in the Mahoning Valley can remember the Campbell Memorial Red Devils have always had a prominent linebacker who is not afraid to get physical and play hard nosed football. This year the Red Devils have Mike Iatropoulos who has been one of the juniors who have stepped up into a leadership role for this team and has been someone who has been one of the top tacklers in both games this season! Mike not only loves hitting the opposition on defense, he enjoys being one of the lead blockers for the offensive unit too! Any chance Iatropoulos gets to hit someone, he will glady do it!

YSN’s own, Steve Leslie, was able to sit down with Adyn Vazquez and Mike Iatropoulos at Tavern 26 this week to talk about their season so far, what Adyn and Mike want to do after high school, how they want this season to go for the Red Devils, a rapid fire questionnaire where we learn more about what makes Adyn and Mike the people and players that they are today, and so much more!

TREMENDOUS TYLER

NEW MIDDLETOWN, OH – The Springfield Tigers offense and defense looked midseason form against Brookfield in week two as they handled business from the opening kick off till the final whistle. That dominance was seen particularly in the trenches as the offensive and defensive lines were getting big pushes all night long and really kept the Warriors at bay.

Young’s leadership on the line and vocal motivation had the Tigers ready to go each and every snap. Not only did he keep the boys in the trenches going, he was seen making big plays all night whether it was making a huge hole in the run game or blowing up the Warriors line to get to the quarterback or stuff the run!

SENSATIONAL STEFEK

/in , /by

POLAND, OH – When you think of the Poland Bulldogs football team and previous teams in recent memories, one might think of how dominant the offensive and defensive lines are and have been. The reason these lines have been so dominant is not only that the boys up front take pride in moving the football on offense and shutting down the other team on defense but also that the leadership and tight knit group is strong as ever. One leader on both sides of the ball is senior, Alex Stefek. Stefek is one of those hardnosed players who loves physical football and loves the opportunity to play Bulldog football.

YSN’s own, Steve Leslie, sat down with Alex Stefek this week at Combine Brothers to talk about his senior year so far, what his plans are for after high school football, what it means to Alex to be a Bulldog, and a rapid fire question set where we get to learn more about what makes Alex the player and person he is.

/in , /by

Youngstown, OH- In a commanding display of defensive prowess and strategic playmaking, the Labrae Vikings outshined the Valley Christian Eagles in a resounding 20-0 victory. The game, filled with thrilling moments, showcased Labrae’s dominance on both ends of the field.

The opening quarter witnessed Labrae’s Jay McGary breaking through the defensive lines with a 12-yard touchdown run, followed by a successful extra point by Max Young. This early offensive strike set the tone for Labrae’s determination to seize control of the game.

As the second quarter unfolded, the momentum continued to favor Labrae. With 5 minutes and 49 seconds left, Valley Christian’s Ja’Sean Lindsay’s pass was intercepted by Labrae’s Treyton Derry, adding to Labrae’s growing advantage.

The fourth quarter intensified the pressure on Valley Christian. Labrae’s Kenny Yoho showcased his precision with a 17-yard pass to Eric Riebold, extending the lead to 14-0 after Max Young’s extra point. Labrae’s defense remained unyielding, with Ja’Sean Lindsay of Valley Christian throwing yet another interception, this time claimed by Labrae’s Mike Henderson. In a swift response, Treyton Derry sprinted 20 yards for another Labrae touchdown, although the subsequent 2-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful.

The final score of 20-0 reflected Labrae’s exceptional defensive performance, effectively neutralizing Valley Christian’s run game and consistently capitalizing on turnovers. The victory secured Labrae’s position with a 1-1 record, as they now prepare to face off against the Niles Red Dragons in week 3. Meanwhile, the Valley Christian Eagles, also with a 1-1 record, are set to host the Brookfield Warriors in their upcoming week 3 encounter.
