HOFFER HEADS TO POINT PARK

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- One of the area’s top all-around hoop stars is headed to the Steel City this Fall to continue her education and basketball career.

Crestview Senior, Tanner Hoffer announced on YSN that she is verbally committing to Point Park University to join the Basketball Program in 2020.  Hoffer averaged 12 points per game in 2018 while pulling down 11 boards, a double-double machine.

“I love how different it is compared to where I am now, I’m going from cornfields to the city, basically,” says Hoffer.  “I want to bring a strong defensive aspect to the team.  I typically face-guard the best player on the other team, so I’m looking forward to bringing my defensive skill set.”

Hoffer will study to be an actuary when she arrives in Pittsburgh next fall.

Congratulations, Tanner.  Good luck this year and in all you do in the future.

The Vikings would answer towards the end of the first quarter when a touchdown run by Quarterback Aiden Stephens to tie the game. The Rebels were driving with a minute to go before halftime when Carter of the Vikings intercepted Quarterback Brandon Yanssens at the 3-yard line to stall the Rebel offense.

In the third quarter, Rebel Wide Receiver William Hardenbrook found the endzone with a 60-yard touchdown run down the sideline to regain the lead for Crestview, 13-7.

SIMONS SHATTERS RECORDS; FITCH FLIES OVER SPARTANS

/in /by

BOARDMAN, OH- It may be an understatement to talk about the Austintown Fitch’s excitement to have Junior Todd Simons back in the lineup.  After a tough loss last week to McDowell, the Falcons came out to face their rival Boardman- and showed no mercy.

The Falcon football team found their way back in the win column in dominating fashion.  For the 4th year in a row, the Falcons beat rival Boardman 40-14 Friday night.  The Falcons set the tone in the first quarter on their second drive when sophomore quarterback Devin Sherwood hooked up with junior receiver Todd Simons for a 99-yard touchdown pass, which is the longest touchdown pass in Fitch history.  Sherwood broke his own single-game passing record he set last week, throwing 20 for 23, 381 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Sherwood also rushed 11 times for 79 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Simons broke the single-game receiving yards record finishing the night with  7 receptions for 193 yards and 2 touchdowns and added an interception.  Sophomore running back Tyree Mitchell added a 3-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.  He finished the night with 10 carries and 55 yards.  Senior quarterback Allison Edwards added on to the Falcons victory with a 2-yard touchdown run in the 4th quarter.

The Falcons look to finish the season off strong when they head to Stambaugh Stadium next Friday night against Cardinal Mooney.
