As the ball boy for the Raiders, Robby’s role is more than just about keeping up with the game balls.

When asked about the players he looks up to, Robby named Tristan Toy, Gaven Nagy, Aiden Dominguez, and “TT”. These athletes, according to Robby, epitomize the traits he aspires to. “I want to be like that when I’m older,” he said, highlighting the kinship and respect within the Raider family.

As Thanksgiving approached, Robby reflected on his gratitude. “I’m thankful for everything my school, community, and everybody’s done for me,” he emphasized, demonstrating a grounded perspective that belies his age.

Robby Myers is not only a steadfast ball boy but also a beacon of positivity and passion in the South Range community. His aspirations to don the Raider jersey as a player one day are met with community-wide encouragement. As DJ Yokley succinctly put it, “I’m thankful for you, Robby. You’re the best.”

Robby Myers represents the heart and soul of what it means to be a Raider — dedicated, spirited, and always leading with a grin.

RAIDERS PUNCH TICKET TO REGIONAL FINALS

/in /by

MINERVA, OH- South Range put on a show under the Friday night lights, steamrolling Garaway 42-14 in a game where the Raiders looked nearly unstoppable. From the opening whistle, it was clear South Range had one goal: dominate. And dominate they did.

The Raiders came out swinging, and quarterback Tristan Toy wasted no time. Less than two minutes into the game, Toy broke loose for a 40-yard touchdown sprint to light up the scoreboard. A few drives later, it was running back Aiden Dominguez’s turn. Backed up at their own 3-yard line, Dominguez ripped through Garaway’s defense for a jaw-dropping 97-yard touchdown run, leaving defenders in his rearview mirror.

Garaway showed some life in the second quarter when Dillon Soehnlen broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run. But Toy responded before the half, threading a perfect pass to Gaven Nagy for a 19-yard touchdown, putting South Range up 21-7 at the break.

The second half was more of the same. Toy punched in two more touchdowns on the ground, bringing his total to three for the night. He wasn’t just torching Garaway with his legs; Toy was a surgeon through the air, completing 11 of 13 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown.

Dylan Smesko capped off the scoring for South Range in the fourth quarter with a 10-yard touchdown run, hammering the final nail in Garaway’s coffin.

South Range’s defense deserves just as much credit. They held Garaway to 93 rushing yards and only 67 through the air. The Pirates’ QB, Brady Geibel, was constantly under duress, with South Range racking up two sacks and multiple tackles for loss. Linebacker Luke Starkey led the charge with eight solo tackles and a key stop behind the line.

The Stat Sheet
– Tristan Toy: 82 rushing yards, 3 rushing TDs, 157 passing yards, 1 passing TD.
-Aiden Dominguez 141 rushing yards on 24 carries, 1 TD.
–Gaven Nagy: 6 receptions, 73 yards, 1 TD.

Garaway’s lone bright spot was Dillon Soehnlen, who rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown, but it wasn’t nearly enough to keep pace with the Raiders’ relentless attack.

South Range (13-0) moves on to the regional finals, where they’ll look to keep their postseason dreams alive against NE8 rival, Poland (11-2).  The two teas met at Rominger Stadium in Week 6 with Poland starting the game with a 14-point lead before South Range marched back to win the game 38-30.  The rematch can be seen on YSN with a kickoff set for 7pm.
