HUDA MAN!

POLAND OH- Poland’s Noah Huda is one of the most decorated players in the area when it comes to soccer. All the fans in the area know his name, and you can bet that opposing teams circle him more than once when making a scouting report for the Bulldogs.  Huda started his career early, and from the jump he had people telling him that he had something special inside. Now, that natural ability did not give Noah the right to not work. You know the saying hard work beats talent, when talent isn’t working? Well good luck beating talent that is working. That is exactly what Noah brings to the table. He is constantly setting himself goals that are obtainable, but also push him to be his best. That is the reason why he has mastered so many high level skills. He says his work ethic comes from his dad pushing him to be his best. That makes sense considering his dad is the girls soccer coach at Poland, you could say he knows a thing or two about teaching student athletes to be great. They might not see each other’s games live as much as they’d like, but that doesn’t mean they don’t feed off one another. That relationship may just be the edge that Noah has on a lot of talented soccer players. So Poland knows who the man is, do you?

Join YSN in learning just what makes Huda the player that he is. He took the time to sit with Anthony Hartwig and talk about his journey. They also discuss scouting with his dad, how he leads his team, and so much more. Don’t find yourself in the dog house, check out the latest Poland Soccer Player Profile on YSN.

TIGERS CLAW OUT PALESTINE

WELLSVILLE OH- Wellsville is quietly putting together an impressive season in 2022. In Week 5 they cruised to their third win of the year 56-14.

The offensive explosion didn’t come right away. The Tigers offense only managed 6 points in the first quarter. While their defense stayed strong, their offense quickly picked up momentum.  The Tigers scored 28 points in the second quarter, and never looked back. Tyrell Watkins had a monster night catching the ball. He caught three balls and gained 112 yards, with two touchdowns.

Jesse Lipp still had a good day for East Palestine as he gained 113 yards on 14 attempts.  Noah McKay ran 7 times for 70 yards.

Both teams hit the road in Week 6 as Wellsville will travel to Southern, and East Palestine will travel to Lisbon.

 

GIRARD BRINGS BULLDOGS DOWN TO EARTH

CORTLAND, OH- Girard keeps it rolling and stays unbeaten as they shut out their NE8 foe, Lakeview on Friday night, 49-0. From start to finish, the Indians were all over the Bulldogs on both sides of the ball. At the end of the first, Girard led 21-0 thanks to scores on their first two possessions and a 72-yard TD pass from Nic Bengala to Stephen Sims. 

The Idians then unloaded on the Bulldogs in the rest of the first half with the help of back-to-back interceptions from Bobby Alejars who took it 35 yards to the house and Domenico Simone who made an unbelievable grab to set Girard up to score again to make it 35-0. As it came close to halftime, Lakeview hurt themselves again with a fumble which led to Bengala finding the endzone again to make it 42-0 at half. Girard would put up one more TD in the second half to finish off the game.

Girard will move to 5-0 on the season going into week 6 as they will host South Range on Friday. Lakeview moves to 3-2 and will travel to Struthers to take on the Wildcats Friday night.

TIGERS STAY RED HOT

EAST PALESTINE OH- State Ranked Wellsville traveled north to East Palestine looking to put a stranglehold on their lead at the top of the EOAC. The grip tightened as the Tigers overpowered the Bulldogs for their 10th straight win (25-15, 25-14, 25-9).

East Palestine looked up to the challenge early as the Bulldogs started hot building an early 11-6 lead in the 1st set.  The Tigers slammed the door shut on any upset aspirations from that point scoring 13 of the next 14 points on their way to a 1st set victory.  Wellsville left no doubt at the start of the 2nd set as the Tigers raced out to a 7-0 lead and never looked back. The net presence of Presley Stokes and Alana Amato during the 2nd set proved too much for the Bulldogs to overcome. Stokes would finish the night with 21 kills, 3 blocks, while Amato would tally 10 kills and 2 blocks. The start of the 3rd set saw Wellsville’s Brooke Hackney serve 14 straight as the Tigers would cruise to the 3rd set victory.

TOTH IS RUNNING TOWARDS GLORY

CORTLAND OH- Lakeview means business this season! They took the high school football scene by storm in week one by blowing out last year’s number 1 seed out of Division VI LaBrae.  After an 0-10 2021, it didn’t take Lakeview long at all to pick up their first win. Not only did the team put themselves on the map, but so did junior Nolan Toth.  This running back has been a huge cog in the machine of the Bulldogs. After a close loss to Garfield, Lakeview won 2 in a row to now sit a 3-1 heading in to week 5.

Toth took the time to hop on to Running Point this week to give us a peak inside this football program taking the world by storm.  He talks to Anthony Hartwig and DJ Yokley about what this program’s turnaround has taken, what his motivations are, and much more.
