BLUE JAYS LAY SEIGE TO LEETONIA

/in /by

LEETONIA OH- Jackson Milton emphatically sent a message on Thursday in their week one game against Leetonia. Their threat through the air was undeniable as Alex Shiavi had a program record 7 touchdown passes.  The Blue Jays rolled 54-0.

Not only was Shiavi finding the endzone, but his touchdowns were huge plays. There were multiple touchdowns that were 40 yards or more. The first touchdown of the day might have been the highlight, as Shiavi broke away from a would be sack to hit a 43 yard touchdown.

Jackson Milton (1-0) will return to action next Friday as they host Newton Falls (1-0) in their home opener. Leetonia will stay at home to host Collinwood in Week 2.

CHELSEA CHERISHES THE FINAL RIDE

/in /by

NORTH JACKSON OH- Chelsea Williams is a pure athlete through and through. Each and every season Williams shines bright. Almost as if any thing she picks up she has a knack for.  After coming off an incredible basketball season where she had to use every ounce of energy in the tank. She jumped into softball season with a full battery. Just like basketball, Williams is excelling on the softball diamond.

Chelsea learned so much about how to lead during a basketball season where the Blue Jays only had six players on the roster. It took everything she had. There was no rest, she played just about every minute of every game.  The physical demands aside, Williams also had to make sure the six players stayed together. There were definitely ups and downs to the season, and with six players you would think it would be harder to stay together. But the Blue Jays never wavered, and Williams leadership is a big reason why. Taking those lessons into softball season, Chelsea has become the glowing example of a leader on a team. It goes way beyond statistics. Although Williams does indeed lead the Blue Jays in many offensive categories, it’s her attitude, ability to stay positive, and constant competitiveness that makes the biggest difference.

Williams ended the season with a batting average of .515, 3 HR, and 23 RBI. That was good for the team lead in batting average and home runs.

Williams took the time to come on to YSN’s Running Point to talk about her final year at Jackson Milton. She talks with Ty Bartell, and Anthony Hartwig about her growth throughout the year, the personality of this team, and so much more. Celebrate one of the Blue Jays awesome seniors in the latest player profile.

A THORN IN THE OPPONENT’S SIDE

/in /by

NORTH JACKSON OH- Sometimes in life, and in sports you’ll find yourself in positions you didn’t expect. The doorway to opportunity presented itself to you. Jackson Milton’s Macayle Thornhill saw the door open, and walked right through it.

Thornhill did not come in to this season expecting to carry the bulk of her team’s innings pitched. Surely her, and her coaches saw this season as an opportunity to get some solid reps without the pressure of the majority of the innings. Due to injuries and some other circumstances here Macayle is leading the team in time spent in the circle, and she’s making the most out of every pitch. The growth that Thornhill has shown this season is remarkable, and she’s not close to being done.

Thornhill sits at 33.2 innings pitched at the moment. She has an ERA of 3.12. She has struck out 30 hitters. That’s very close to 1 strike out per inning. Thornhill also hits .333 at the plate with 10 RBI.

Macayle was gracious enough to spend some time on YSN’s Running Point to talk about her season. She chats with Ty Bartell and Anthony Hartwig about stepping into a leading roll, her personal goals, and much more. You simply have to check out the latest Jackson Milton player profile only on YSN.
