JACKSON MILTON SOFTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH MARIAH CICCOLELLI

NORTH JACKSON OH- The spring weather is starting to break and we can smell the ball fields in the air. With the softball season approaching it is time to get to some season previews. Our very first one of the season comes straight out of Jackson Milton as the Blue Jays look to build off an impressive season.  The Jays like every team in northeast Ohio had to deal with a very wet spring in 2022.  They still found a way though to improve greatly on offense, and keep up their dominance in the circle.  With still plenty of talent on the pitching staff in 2023, Jackson Milton promises to be a big contender in the MVAC.  The Jays open the season March 27th vs Springfield at home.

Mariah Ciccolelli returns to the helm of the team for another fun season. She took some time to talk with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig about what this campaign could look like for Jackson Milton. Check out the first episode of Coach’s Corner with Mariah Ciccolelli only on YSN!

KEEP YOUR EYE ON ROMIGH

NORTH JACKSON OH- Every now and then you come across a team that has a player that you can’t take your eyes off of. When you make the trip to a Jackson Milton basketball game, you might find yourself under that effect with Aaren Romigh. The senior leader of the Blue Jays is without a doubt the straw that stirs the drink.  An otherwise young roster is kept calm cool and collected by the level headed Romigh.  We could talk about the talent he possesses on the floor all day, but the most impressive part of his game is his character.  You will quickly realize that Romigh never takes part in the drama of a game. No chirping, nothing going on after the whistle, and always playing with the respect the game deserves.  It’s because of this attitude that Jackson Milton is able to steer through some of the adversities of a game.  It is a great example that all the youth of Jackson Milton can look to.  The program will feel his legacy long after he graduates.

Romigh took the time to hop on to an interview with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig to discuss his senior season.  They also go over playing on the floor with his younger brother, how he’s grown over the years, and much more. Check out the latest Jackson Milton Player Profile only on YSN.
