CAMPBELL ONE WIN AWAY FROM CONFERENCE CROWN


CAMPBELL OH- A big game inside The MVAC Gray Division took place on Tuesday night. #1 Campbell-Memorial Red Devils hosted #5 Liberty for their second matchup with The Leopards this year. 

The first time these two squared off was back on January 11th. The Red Devils snuck away with a road victory that day 61-59.

However, other than LaBrae, Liberty was the only conference team to challenge Campbell this year. Going into Tuesday night, much of the same was expected in round two of Liberty vs. Campbell. 

Both teams started off strong defensively, with points being at a premium in the first quarter. Campbell took a lead late in the first quarter, and extended it to 15-11 with a Deshaun Will buzzer-beater three to end the 1st. 

The lead Campbell had was one that they held throughout the first half. Liberty never faltered, staying within striking distance of The Red Devils at all times. A Jameer Weaver bucket to beat the halftime buzzer extended The Devils lead to ten points 34-24 at halftime. 

The Leopards came out of the third quarter with a fury. Backed by some impressive scoring by senior D’Andre Venters. Including some great passing by Venters, he was a spark plug to start the second half for Liberty. 

Liberty outscored Campbell 23-10 in the third to take a 47-44 lead over The Red Devils after three. The spark ran out of gas however, as The Leopards only scored 10 points in the fourth to flip the script, as Campbell won the fourth quarter 23-10 and won the game 67-57. 

Kevin Moore had another 20+ point performance as he continues to inch his way to the 1000 point milestone. D’Andre Venters shined for Liberty, scoring 23 points on the night, as he haunted The Red Devil defense. 

Campbell had balanced scoring on the night, with all five starters contributing eight or more points of offense. In all those contributions, it was Xavion Leonards stat line that stood out the most! 

Xavion Leonard: 16 PTS  7 REB  5 AST  3 STL  4 BLK  8/15 FG (53%)

Contributing in multiple areas of the game, Leonard’s 16 points were second highest on the team for the night. The 5 assists and 4 blocks lead the team, while 7 rebounds were tied for the team lead with Kevin Moore. 

Being present in the five major stat categories in basketball was more than enough to earn Xavion Leonard YSNs Player of The Game!

The win for Campbell (18-1) gives them a perfect 11-0 record in the conference. For Liberty (13-5) they will fall to 9-2 in conference play. The win for The Red Devils leaves them just one win away from at least a shar of The MVAC Gray Crown!

#5 Liberty (13-5) will host Champion (3-15) on Thursday, February 10th.

#1 Campbell (18-1) will play their final road game of the regular season, as they travel to Newton Falls (10-7) on Friday, February 11th in their first battle with The Tigers.

CAMPBELL MAKES ENOUGH PLAYS DOWN THE STRETCH


LIBERTY, OH – Coming into Tuesday night’s matchup between Liberty and Campbell, both teams knew that it would come down to who can get the edge over the other when they needed it the most. Liberty attacked the rim early and often in the first half, but Campbell made defensive adjustments towards the second half which forced Liberty to slow down their attack and miss key shots that may have won them the game. Campbell was able to use that momentum boost from their defense, along with depth scoring at the right time to come out on top over Liberty, 61-59.

 

For Campbell, Kevin Moore led the way with a game-high 24 points on the night for the Red Devils. 

 

 

For Liberty, D’Andre Venters led the way with 22 points on the night. Behind him was  Kalan Turner who contributed 17 points.

 

Campbell will be back in action next Tuesday, January 18th as they will travel to Niles. Liberty will be back in action on Friday as they will travel to Champion. Don’t miss it on YSN!

For the Lady Rebels, Luvrain Gaskins led the team with 13 points. Behind her was Emily Hill who added 11. And Katie Lissi also contributed 5 points on the night.

CAMPBELL BOYS BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 2) WITH NICK CANTERINO

CAMPBELL OH- The red hot, Rocking Red Devils of Campbell are coming off, yet another game in which they scored 80+ points of offense on the night! 

This time, their total was 88, as a part of the 88-58 victory against Western Reserve on December 23rd. 

Making it the fifth time in just eight games in which The Red Devils accomplished the feat of 80 or more points on offense.

CAMPBELL RUNS THE NIGHT

 


CAMPBELL OH- The Campbell-Memorial Red Devils are off to an undefeated start this season. All while already topping their win total from last year. 

This time, The Jackson Milton Blue Jays entered The Red Devil gym to challenge this revamped Campbell lineup. 

Coming off a dramatic win over The Heartland Christian Lions, The Blue Jays were looking to continue their string of beating undefeated teams. 

Jackson Milton kept it close in the first quarter, like most teams against The Red Devils. As Campbell held just a 16-10 lead after one quarter. 

However, The Rocking Red Devils show up fashionably late to the party, as the second quarter has been a stronghold for Campbell in early season play. 

Outscoring The Blue Jays 24-9 in the second, and holding a 40-19 lead after the first half. 

The hot shooting half turned into a hot shooting night, as The Red Devils were simply on fire from all over the floor. Winning the third quarter 27-9 and extending the lead to 67-28 after three quarters. 

Kevin Moore was a big factor in his return to the lineup after missing the last contest against Valley Christian. Putting up a smooth 20 points in his return.

Moore was just one of the many Red Devils to put up double digits in the scoring column. As Xavion Leonard had a 17 point performance, all while dominating the boards. 

Luciano was another bright spot in The Campbell lineup. As the senior had 14 points on an efficient shooting night, including a buzzer beater to end the third. An exclamation point on the game for Campbell. 

The win has put #4 Campbell at 4-0 on the season, while The Blue Jays drop to 1-2.

Both teams coincidentally will matchup with The Lowellville Rockets next. As The Blue Jays will visit The Rockets Tuesday, December 14th. Before that, Lowellville will invade a bigger rocket, with their matchup with Campbell scheduled for Sunday, December 12th at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland!

Both games will be live on YSN!

RED DEVILS ARE ROCKING


CAMPBELL OH- The Campbell Memorial Red Devils, a team countless have been excited for, since the return of the big three!

Currently ranked #4 in The YSN Power Rankings, Campbell looked to continue their string of success against a well-coached Dolph Carroll led Valley Christian Eagles squad. 

On the other side, Campbell was going into this one with no Kevin Moore, leaving Red Devil fans wondering if this game would be put on upset alert!

The first quarter was exactly that, as Valley battled down low really well, leading Joey Battista and Jon’Trell Mixon to gain an early rebounding advantage. 

Despite gaining the early advantage on the boards, The Eagles had a tough time converting them into offense. Campbell adjusted themselves by the end of the first, holding a slim lead 11-10 over Valley. 

However, it was the second quarter of play that really separated the two teams. With The Red Devils outsourcing The Eagles 29-12 in the second. Xavion Leonard was a man on a mission Tuesday night. Scoring 25 points on the night, with 18 of those coming in the first half! Leaving Campbell with the big 40-22 halftime lead. 

Much like how Campbell started pressing the gas in the second, they floored it in the third. Coming out with the same fire and intensity they left the second with. It helped them start to salt this one away early in the second half. 

The biggest turnaround was in Campbells defense. Implementing more of a press in the second quarter, and Xavion Leonard getting a ton of important rebounds when Jon’Trell Mixon was in foul trouble. Both of which helped The Devils have that lopsided second. 

Valley did hold Campbell’s high scoring offense under 80 for the first time in the young season. A testament to Coach Carroll’s group of boys who battled buzzer to buzzer. 

The Red Devils iced this one by a final of 66-45 to go to 3-0 on the season. Valley, with the loss, drops to 1-1.

Valley Christian will look to turn the tide quickly, with the start of conference play coming up, The Eagles hit the road to play East Palestine Friday, December 10th. 

Campbell will also be in action on Friday, December 10th as it is an MVAC Gray vs. Scarlet battle, with The Red Devils hosting The Jackson Milton Blue Jays. 

Both games can be found live on YSN!

DEVILS RUN AWAY FROM HUBBARD

m

CAMPBELL OH- The Campbell Red Devils entered the 2021 season with the hopes of being a team everyone had to talk about. After Tuesday night, people might just be inclined to start. The Red Devils used a 30-10 3rd quarter to run away from Hubbard 81-45.

Kevin Moore was able to score from pretty much anywhere on the floor. He finished with a team high 20 points, and hit four threes to get there. Xavion  Leonard was also in double figures with 15. Jameer Weaver added 14 points to the Devils cause as well. Isaiah McCray added 10.

Riley Heckert led the way for the Eagles as he scored 15 points. Nate Hendrix added a solid 10 to the mix.

DEVILS FIND A WAY TO COMPLETE COMEBACK

CAMPBELL OH- The basketball season got tipped off on Friday night, and Campbell christened their brand new floor with an opening day win. The Devils only led for 3.8 seconds of game time, but it was the final 3.8 seconds. Junior Maddison Shuger drained her first three of the game to pull the Devils ahead to victory over Sebring 51-50.

Sebring had control early, they took the 7-1 lead out of the jump, and led 15-8 after a quarter of play. They would push their lead to 25-15 just before half, but as the clock winded down Shawj Sims hit a three to give the Devils momentum into the locker room.

Campbell came out of the break with fire. they would eventually cut the Trojan lead down to two. However, the Trojans pushed back as the second half went on. Thanks in part to Devyn Reggi who had a phenomenal second half. The Trojans led 48-38 with 2:40 left. Campbell proceeded to go on a 13-2 run to cap off their comeback win.

Campbell’s lone senior Cayla Marshall willed her team to victory and scored a game-high 25 points for the Devils. Shuger also finished in double figures with 15 points. Sims added an important 7 points to the cause.

For Sebring, Reggi finished a great night with 20 points. Blake Thomas was also in double figures for the Trojans with 14 points.

Campbell opens the season with a win and is 1-0. They only got 2 wins last year, but this looks like a different Campbell team. They’ll look to keep things going Monday as they travel to Hubbard. Sebring will try to bounce back on Monday with their home opener against Leetonia.
