POLAND, OH- In a riveting episode of the popular Poland Bulldog Show, hosted at Bulldogs Bar and Grill in Poland, Ohio, Saul sat down with Poland’s very own Josh Masejko to talk about the ups and downs of the football season.

Josh wasted no time sharing his strategy for coping with a tough loss. “Coach Pav says we have 24 hours to celebrate the win or mourn the loss,” Masejko stated, diving into his weekend routine of reflection and moving on. By Sunday, the focus shifts to the next opponent. Even after losses, Josh emphasized the importance of thinking ahead, saying, “The next week is the most important week.”

When asked about his hobbies outside of football, Josh revealed his love for fishing, spending time with friends, and chasing the biggest catch at a local pond. But it was clear his mind was never far from the game. “We treat every opponent the same regardless of who they are,” he remarked, adding that every game is approached with maximum effort and dedication.

One highlight of the conversation was Masejko’s take on his team’s offensive game plan. Despite a run-heavy strategy, Josh noted the importance of versatility, praising the offensive line and acknowledging the team’s asset of depth in both running backs and wide receivers. “It’s great to not be a one-dimensional team,” he commented, highlighting the advantage of forcing defenses to prepare for both the pass and the run.

Still, the sting of recent losses hasn’t left the team, particularly for senior players like Josh. Reflecting on a close defeat to arch-rivals Canfield, Masejko described the silent locker room and the determination to rebound. “I’m always going to bring those guys up in the locker room,” he affirmed, exemplifying his leadership role within the team.

Josh’s closing comments were a rallying cry for the upcoming match: “Put it behind you. Let’s go get Hubbard.” It was a sentiment echoed throughout the podcast, underscoring the Bulldog’s resilient spirit.

The Poland Bulldog Show continues to provide fans and community members with an inside look at their beloved team, offering not just game analysis but personal stories from the players who give their all each week.

POLAND, OH- In the heart of Poland, Ohio, Bulldogs Bar and Grill buzzed with excitement as local sports enthusiasts gathered for another riveting episode of the Poland Bulldog Show. The standout feature of the evening was an engaging conversation between host Saul and multifaceted Bulldog player, Jason Stefancin.

Jason, who has made a name for himself by mastering various positions on the field, discussed the physical and emotional challenges athletes endure post-game. “After a mentally and physically draining game like Friday night, I like to detach by hanging out with friends and watching football,” said Jason. He emphasized the importance of reflecting on past performances, epitomized by the team’s adherence to Coach Pav’s 24-hour rule—to evaluate the game, then move forward.

Saul probed deeper into Jason’s weekly approach, revealing a mentality of constant improvement. “It’s all about being better than last week,” Jason noted. “Whether it’s addressing penalties or turnovers, or scouting the strengths of our next opponents, the focus remains unwavering.”

Despite the setbacks experienced on the field, the camaraderie in the locker room remained strong. “It’s quiet after a loss; you can hear a pin drop,” Jason stated. “But it’s about picking each other up and getting ready for the next battle.”

A highlight from the recent game was Jason’s flawlessly executed onside kick, displaying his prowess and strategic thinking. “I’ve done it countless times in practice. Pav trusts us to make those plays,” he said, acknowledging the crucial role of special teams.

Jason’s journey this season also saw him transition from focusing solely on kicking and punting to taking on roles as a receiver and defensive back. “I’ve always wanted to be more involved, and the coaches have given me that opportunity. I strive to excel in practice, so they trust me to perform during the game,” Jason humbly shared.

As the Bulldogs prepare to face Hubbard this weekend, fans are eager to witness Jason and his teammates leave it all on the field once again.
