RED DEVILS ARE ROCKING

/in /by


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 FIND A WAY TO COMPLETE COMEBACK

/in /by

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.

VIKINGS HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH CAMPBELL

/in /by

LEAVITTSBURG OH- LaBrae has been a role since suffering their first loss to Garfield earlier in the season. After dramatically escaping Liberty last week, the Vikings needed no drama in beating Campbell with a 56-13 win.

Aiden Stephens had a trio of touchdowns before the end of the first quarter. He scored two with his legs, and connected on a monster 51 yard touchdown pass to Tre’von Drake. Devin Carter gained 88 yards on 6 carries, and a pair of touchdowns.

LaBrae virtually sealed the fact that they can have two home playoff games. They have only hosted two playoff games in their program’s history. Division 6 games will be played on Fridays. Stay tuned to YSN to find out who the Vikings get paired with.

TIGERS WIN IN A TALE OF TWO HALVES

/in /by

CAMPBELL, OH – In what was a tale of two halves at John Knapick Field, the Newton Falls Tigers came back from a 19-7 halftime deficit by going on a 22-3 run en route to an exciting 29-22 victory over the Campbell Memorial Red Devils.

The Tigers got things rolling on the opening drive with a methodical running attack led by Carter Rapczak. The drive ended with a 26-yard touchdown pass from Alex Pennington to Nick Rapczak. The Devils, however, had a response on their senior night. Campbell used the skill of Kayvon Moore to move down the field, then sold the Tigers out on a play fake as David Moore launched a 35-yard touchdown bomb to Christian James. The failed extra point kept the score at 7-6 Newton Falls

The Tigers were marching down the field again, but as the second quarter got underway, they fumbled the ball, giving it back to Campbell. The Red Devils took advantage with a 57-yard scamper to paydirt from Kayvon Moore to make it 12-7, Campbell’s first lead since Week 3. They continued their hot momentum streak with another turnover on defense, this time an interception. They then continued to harass the Newton Falls defense as Moore picked up his second touchdown from 4 yards out. Nick Rapczak’s interception of Moore on the next Campbell drive ended the first half for the Tigers on a high note after what was a nightmarish first 24 minutes of play on both sides of the ball.

The Red Devils got the ball to start the second half and drove down the field once again as they looked to make it a three-score game. A nice run by Christian Milhouse was negated due to a penalty on the play that would take the Devils out of field goal range and force them to punt. Newton Falls used this as motivation to correct themselves from their mistakes of the first half. Carter Rapczak started the comeback with a 20-yard run, as he then brought the Tigers within one score at 19-14. The defense then stepped up for Falls as they held the Devils on fourth down in Tiger territory to end the quarter.

The Tigers would use the turnover on downs to their advantage as Rapczak scored his second touchdown from 31 yards out to put Newton Falls back on top. The successful 2-point conversion made it a 22-19 ball game. The Devils had a lot of fight in them, though, as Kayvon Moore burst open for a 23-yard run to the Tiger 49. They would drive to the 22, but were called back by another penalty. A 16-yard pickup to the 18 would set up the situation for kicker Anthony Kindinis. The junior stood up to the task and booted a 35-yard field goal to knot the scoring at 22-22. Newton Falls, however, would not take much time to get back in the end zone. Rapczak burst down the sideline for a 45-yard run down to the Devils 16, followed by his third touchdown from nine out to make it 29-22 Tigers. The Devils had one more drive in them as they needed to get down the length of the field to either tie it up or take the lead with a two-point conversion. On a 4th & 7 with the game on the line, Kayvon Moore kept the drive alive with his feet on his way to a 42-yard run down to the Tiger 30. A sack, however, sent the Devils back to the 37 for a 4th & 17. Campbell was not able to pick up this conversion, however, as Nick Rapczak picked off Moore for the second time of the night.

The comeback win for Newton Falls ends their six-game losing streak as they go to 3-6 overall and 1-5 in the MVAC Grey Tier. This is also the first road game that the Tigers have won since 2018, when they ironically beat Campbell in a defensive slugfest 6-2. They have lost 15 straight games away from home coming into tonight. The victory also helps them in terms of playoff seeding as they were ranked #18 in the 16-seed Region 21 of Division 6 before kickoff. They will end the regular season next week with a Senior Night against a 4-4 Crestview team coming off a thrilling 44-38 overtime victory over Champion.

The heartbreaking loss makes it sixth straight for the Red Devils as they fall to 1-8 on the year and 0-6 in the MVAC Grey Tier. Campbell ends their home campaign with a 1-4 mark at John Knapick as they will hit the road for their final game of the season at LaBrae. They will look to end their season on a high note against a Vikings team coming off a close 41-34 victory at Liberty and currently standing at #3 in Region 21.

Carter Rapczak’s three rushing touchdowns was enough for him to be earned our YSN Player of the Game. YSN’s Noah Ricks talked with winning coach Greg Lazarri following tonight’s contest. Watch below for the post-game interview.
