CAMPBELL, OH – It was a crisp, autumn evening, and the excitement in the air was palpable as the Champion Golden Flashes prepared to take on the Campbell Memorial Red Devils. The stadium was packed with eager fans, their cheers echoing through the chilly night. The first quarter had been a defensive battle, with neither team managing to penetrate the other’s end zone. But as the second quarter began, the game’s momentum was about to change in a dramatic fashion.

With just over three minutes remaining in the second quarter, the Golden Flashes’ defense stepped up in a big way. The Red Devils, trying to mount a drive and break the deadlock, were moving the ball steadily downfield. But the Champion defense had other plans. As Campbell Memorial took a run off the edge, defensive lineman Michael Sanders exploded off the line of scrimmage with a burst of speed that left the offensive line stunned. With a perfectly timed swipe of his massive hand, Sanders knocked the ball out. The stadium gasped in unison as the football tumbled towards the ground. Without missing a beat, Connor McDermott pounced on the loose ball, scooping it up with a single fluid motion. The crowd erupted in cheers as he turned and sprinted downfield with the pigskin cradled in his arms. His teammates raced alongside him, providing crucial blocks and clearing a path to the end zone.

With every step, it seemed as though McDermott was fueled by the energy of the roaring crowd. He streaked downfield, running 40 yards with the football. The end zone beckoned, and as he crossed the goal line, he spiked the ball in celebration.

With the crowd still buzzing, the Golden Flashes lined up for the extra point attempt. The snap was clean, the hold was perfect, and the kicker’s boot was good. The extra point sailed through the uprights, and Champion now led 7-0 with just three minutes remaining in the second quarter.

Despite a valiant effort, the Campbell Memorial Red Devils found themselves struggling to gain any momentum. The Golden Flashes’ defense continued to stifle their offense, forcing turnovers left and right. By the end of the game, the Red Devils had committed a total of five turnovers, a testament to Champion’s tenacious defense.

As the final whistle blew, the scoreboard remained unchanged: Champion Golden Flashes 7, Campbell Memorial Red Devils 0. It was a hard-fought victory for Champion, as they improved to 1-6 on the season.

TIGERS EARN THEIR STRIPES AGAINST CAMPBELL

/in /by

By Ty Bartell 

NEWTON FALLS OH- It was conference night on the network with dozens of volleyball teams squaring-off inside their respective leagues for the right to claim a conference crown! This included The Gray Division of The Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference (MVAC) with The Newton-Falls Tigers hosting in The Campbell-Memorial Red Devils. The two squads had one prior meeting on August 24th, in Soup City, where The Red Devils captured the 3-1 match victory. Fast forward to Tuesday night and the two teams would meet for the final time this regular season.

It was a battle in the opening set with both tying one another constantly and no real separation occurring throughout the set. The defense of The Tigers made a difference, thwarting multiple swings from Campbell, helping Newton Falls pull away late to win set one 25-21. The energy was kept and carried over to the second set with both teams coming up even on the scoreboard time and time again. The Red Devils were creating production from all over the floor in an attempt to solve The Tigers defense. Nevertheless, The Falls were able to gut out a grinding 27-25 win in set two to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the match!

Following the set win, The Tigers had a straight set sweep on the mind; however, Campbell had other plans! Grabbing a commanding lead early and never letting it go, The Red Devils came out red hot and torched the Tigers 25-11 to stay alive with a set three win. Refocused in the following set, Newton Falls jumped out to an early lead. But Campbell showed great poise and weathered the early storm and willed their way back in front. Both teams were not giving an inch as set four looked a lot more similar to the first two sets of the match. It would be The Red Devils who would see themselves on top at the conclusion of set four with the 25-21 victory to force set five!

Set five was no different than the majority of the sets in the match in that it was competitive from the jump and stayed that way until the end. Both teams would see various lead changes in set five, but the play of Dani Drake was a difference maker both on the floor and as a leader on the team. The MVP-like performance helped her lead The Tigers to an exhilarating 15-13 set five win to take the match 3-2 and get their revenge on The Red Devils!

Dani Drake recorded the double-double in assists (37) and digs (28) to help lead her team. While Lilly Sait led the team with 20 kills followed by Ivy Huang with 15. Lauren Bervish did work on the defensive side as well, leading the team with 29 digs.

With the win, Newton-Falls (7-5)(3-5) will now set their sights on crosstown rival LaBrae (10-2)(5-2) where they will host The Vikings on Wednesday, September 19th. Campbell-Memorial (8-4)(5-3) will host conference-leading Crestview (11-0)(8-0) on Thursday, September 21st.
