CHANEY BATTLES STATE CHAMPS TO THE END


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 Pryor25 points, 4/6 from three

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

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!!
