CHANEY BATTLES STATE CHAMPS TO THE END

/in /by


YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio –

Looking to gain momentum from their revenge victory over Boardman last Saturday, the Chaney Cowboys played host to yet another top tier team, the Akron Saint Vincent Saint Mary Fighting Irish (2-2).

Sloppy play and turnovers ruled a first quarter that saw seven different players record a bucket. After jumping out to an early 2-0 lead, the Cowboys would trade blows with the Irish before a strong finish to the quarter by Cleveland State commit, Ramar Pryor, would put Saint V’s ahead 12-7 at the end of one.

To start the second, the Irish would pick up right where they left off, forcing Chaney turnovers, and converting in transition. Coach Joyce’s troops were effectively taking the crowd out of effect, until Chaney big man, Clive Wilson, would slam home a rim rattling dunk to bring the Cowboycrowd alive. Transition buckets by Cam Sly and Josiah Gonzalez helped Chaney take their first lead since just a few minutes into the game.

With just under two minutes to play in the half, Saint V’s star and Illinois commit, Sincere Harris, would collide with a Chaney Cowboy chasing after a loose ball. Held rather quiet prior to the collision, a little bit of contact was all Harris needed to get going. The soon to be Fighting Illini would score the last four points of the half to put the Irish back in front heading into the break.

Harris would continue his dominance throughout the rest of the night, shooting eight of thirteenthroughout the second half to finish the night with a whopping 34 points. Only to be outdone by his teammate in Harris, Ramar Pryor also put up an impressive performance. Pryor’s three for three efforts from long range in the fourth helped put the Cowboys away. Pryor would end the night with 25 points.

The combo of Harris and Pryor proved to be too much for Chaney, as the duo would outscore the Cowboys themselves, fifty-nine to fifty-three. The rest of the Irish would chip in fifteen of their own to pick up the victory 74-53.

CHANEY:

Cam Sly – 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks

Josiah Gonzalez – 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal

D’Juan Waller – 10 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block

AKRON ST. VINCENT ST. MARY:

Sencire Harris – 34 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists

Ramar Pryor – 25 points, 4/6 from three

WHAT’S NEXT

Chaney – After dropping their second game of the season, the Chaney Cowboys will play host to another Northeast Ohio matchup in the CVCA Royals (2-2). The Cowboys and Royals will tip this Friday at 7:00 pm.

St. Vincent St. Mary – Winning their second straight game in a row, the Harris led Irish will take part in the Coach Q Holiday Classic at Lima Senior.

IRISH FIND NO LUCK IN AKRON

/in /by

AKRON OH- After a cancellation last week against Chaney, and two weeks ago another dramatic win against Warren Harding, the Ursuline Irish were looking to get back into their winning rhythm as they would head to Green St. Stadium and John Cistone field to take on their old brother Irish rivals in St. Vincent St. Mary. Both of these teams have had a history in the 2000s era since 2005 but Ursuline has not beaten them since 2011. Would Ursuline end the winless streak or was it all St. Vincent St Mary at the end.

Ursuline started off the game like they never left off from two weeks ago. Brady Shannon drop back to pass and found Will Burney open for a 12-yard touchdown making it 7-0 early for Ursuline.

However, St. Vincent St Mary kept on scoring after and never looked back. George Linberger scored two touchdowns from one and two yards out. Ursuline blocked the PAT to make it 20-7 St. Vincent St. Mary’s.

That is when Ursuline went from one of the most powerful offenses to one that was outplayed for the first time all season. Shannon threw two interceptions that were returned by Joe Colby for a 22-yard touchdown off of a wide receiver screen and a 75-yard pick six from Torrell Hopson.

Star running back DeMarcus McElroy was also banged up on a defensive play which saw him limped to the sidelines. Christian Lynch would then take over the backfield for the injured McElroy and prove that he can be a reliable second back as he broke off tackles in the third for a 40-yard touchdown making it 33-14 and as we saw from Chardon, the Irish could be down a lot, but make big time comebacks in the most dramatic ways.

That did not happen as a Shannon safety with him slipping into the endzone and two more Linberger touchdowns to put the game out do reach as St. Vincent St. Mary keeps the winning streak alive in the battle of the Irish, beating Ursuline 49-14.

Stats
Brady Shannon: 14 of 33 for 205 yards. One touchdown and four interceptions.

Christian Lynch 11 carries for 109 yards and a touchdown.

DeMarcus McElroy: 10 carries for 34 yards.

Marc Manning: three receptions for 65 yards

Jakylan Irving: three receptions for 61 yards

Dylan Sztary: three receptions for 46 yards

Dean Boyd: three receptions for 17 yards

Will Burney: two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown.

St. Vincent St Mary stats
#10 Nathan Lenz three of five for 21 yards, 0 touchdowns, 0 interceptions. Six carries for 30 yards

George Lineberger: 31 carries for 195 yards and four touchdowns.

Shawn Lodge: one carry for five yards, one reception for five yards.

Ali Haynes one reception for 11 yards

Tyler Knight: one reception for five yards

Up Next
Ursuline (4-2) will head back to Stambaugh Stadium for the first time since that big week one victory against Bishop Hartley to take on the Boardman Spartans (4-3) who is coming off of a 21-10 loss to Warren Harding (3-4). Kickoff is at 7pm on YSN LIVE!!

St. Vincent St. Mary’s (4-3) heads to Dowed Field to take on Akron rivals in the Archbishop Hoban Knights (4-2) who play the St. Francis Red Raiders (3-1) tomorrow at 1pm.

MOONEY DROPS HEARTBREAKER TO IRISH

/in /by

STRUTHERS, Ohio –

Cold and uneventful through the first 3 innings, a matchup between two storied programs in St. Vincent-St. Mary and Cardinal Mooney turned out to be a back-and-forth affair.

Plating one in the bottom half of the fourth, Mooney took the lead thanks to a ground out by Mickey Valesquez that allowed Ian Francis to come across. Valesquez’s ground out also advanced Matt Womer to third with one away. Unfortunately for the Cardinals, a ground out and an eventual pickoff at first base would strand the runner.

St. V’s needed no time at all to respond, both tying and taking the lead thanks to one swing of the bat by senior Andrew Morse. With runners on second and third with two away, Morse would rope one into left field to clear the bases.

The Irish would go on to score another run in the top half of the 6th when back-to-back walks put two men on with only one away. Solid all day defensively, Saint V’s Aistis Miskinis made his mark offensively on the game when he hit an infield single to bring across a run and move the Irish lead to 3-1.

After a scoreless bottom 6th and top 7th, the Cardinal’s headed to the plate with just 3 outs to score at least 2 runs. A dropped third strike that allowed the leadoff runner to reach followed by a walk had runners on the corners with one away. A fielders choice allowed Mooney to come within 1 but also left them with just 1 out remaining.

With a runner on third and no outs left to give, Mooney had one of their quickest on the basepath paired with one of their best hitters at the dish. Already with a double to his name, Ethan Shaw needed to just put one into the outfield to give the runner on second, Jordan Sheehan, a chance to score. Shaw would deliver with a bloop single into right field and tie the ballgame at 3.

A valiant effort to battle back was in the end, unrewarding for Mooney. In the top half of their first extra inning, Saint V’s Morse would again deliver when it mattered most, this time with an RBI single that was knocked down by Ethan Shaw but never had a chance to make the out. Trailing by one, the Cardinals were unable to recreate their same 7th inning magic, dropping to Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary, 4-3.

TOP PERFORMERS:

CARDINAL MOONEY

Ethan Shaw – 2-for-4, 1 double, 1 RBI

Mickey Valesquez – 2-for-4, 1 RBI

ST. VINCENT-ST. MARY

Andrew Morse – 2-for-5, 3 RBIs

Nick Cody – 8 innings pitched, 5 Ks, complete game

Already ahead by 22, Saint V’s picked up right where they had left off to end the 1st. The Irish went on an 8-point run to start the quarter, scoring a total of 19 unanswered points against the Cats. The offensive onslaught wouldn’t end there for the Irish, scoring 50 points for the half.

Although trailing by 37 to start the half, Struther’s Slocum still had some fight in him. Slocum came out and scored 5 straight points to start the 2ndhalf and would knock down a shot from long range later on in the quarter.

With the running clock in effect, the game was over in just 1 hour and 6 minutes. Saint V’s would come out victorious, 76-37.

LEADING SCORERS:

Struthers

Aidan Slocum – 12 points

William Bloom – 7 points
