/in /by

The Rebels are on the right track, and it’s going to take all hands on deck for the ship’s course to be righted.

We had the chance to catch up with Coach Wilson before the Champion game and discuss strategy for the short, and long-term for his squad.

This team is hungry for a victory, and they may not have to look too far to find one.

Catch up with the Rebs on this week’s Crestview Basketball Coach’s Corner with Jeff Wilson (EP 2)

GIRARD OVERCOME WITH EMOTION AFTER HARD FOUGHT VICTORY

/in /by

By now you know and have heard that the Girard Indians Football Team had a pretty big win last night.  The kind that doesn’t come around every day, or in this particular case, ever before.  For the first time in school history, the Indians are fighting for a State Championship.

Licking Valley gave Girard everything they had, and like any great prize fight, it came down to the final round.  It was the haymaker TD pass thrown from arguably the top Quarterback in the Country, Marky Waid to Nick Malito on 4th and 15 that knocked out the Panthers with 1:44 remaining in the final frame.  The Indians would win the game by a final score of 53-48, and we have strung together the raw emotion following the victory including the final touchdown call, an interview with Mark Waid, and the moment of the year as Head Coach Pat Pearson shares a moment with his wife after the game.  (Interviews and photos courtesy of Brent Bigelow)

We at YSN are incredibly proud and humbled to follow this team and this community.

WE ARE…

Proud.

Step by step, the Indians continue to march against their oppositions best punch.  Coach Pearson and The Tribe were able to nail down another victory and now head to the Regionals to duke it out with a familiar foe in Hubbard.  One that gave the Indians a loss by 15 earlier this season.

It’s a battle to head to the State level of play, and we’ve got the game plan for you before kickoff.

TURVEY ON TOP

/in /by

Being a multi-sport athlete is a tradition at Crestview High School.  The Rebels walk through the halls with pride knowing that they are multi-talented, multi-faceted, and ultimately will have multiple chances to succeed in school, and in life.

For one Crestview Senior this year, the goals are higher, the stage is set, and he’s ready for his shining moment.

Devin Turvey is a southpaw with a north facing outlook.  In fact, off the field, it’s difficult to find this young man not smiling ear to ear.  On the field, you’ll be lucky to match the intensity that 6 brings to the table.  Cool, calm, and calculated on the gridiron as well as the diamond.  Turvey is a winner, and he wants the ball.

We caught up with Devin prior to Week 11-and the Rebels matchup with Gilmour Academy, and we discussed life on and off the field in this week’s Crestview Player Profile: TURVEY ON TOP

It’s back to Week 11 for Coach Q and the ‘View!  The Rebs attacked their schedule and are back to make a big-time run in the 2018 OHSAA Tourney.  First up is Gilmour Academy who is 10-0 and are looking to continue their winning ways.

What does Coach Cusick see on tape that the boys need to do to walk away winners?  What keeps the momentum rolling offensively?

We find out all that and more on this week’s Crestview Coach’s Corner with Paul Cusick!

ALL IN THE FAMILY

/in /by

Some call him goofy, some call him unique, most call him Andrew, but everybody calls him talented on the football field.  For Crestview Senior Tailback, Andrew Yanssens, he’s overcome injuries to become one of-if not the best tailback in Rebel History.

As the Rebels head into week 11, we caught up with the wild one that wears the number 26 in the Crestview backfield.  Andrew talks about his plans off the field as he preps to graduate.  A family man at the heart of it all, Yanssens is proud of his last name and all that comes with it.

DJ and Andrew sit down for this week’s Rebel Player Profile: ALL IN THE FAMILY

What a week in The ‘View!  Taking down a D2 opponent one week, and falling to a very tough Indian Creek team the next.

To say the Rebs are on a roller coaster would be an understatement!  Luckily for Crestview, leading the way is the 20th year Head Coach, Paul Cusick!

We caught up with Coach after the big victory, and prior to the Linsly game to see what the game plan is, as well as talk about the season up to this point!
