YOUNGSTOWN OH- The Chaney Cowboys came in to Wednesday’s district semifinal with something to prove. They took care of fifth seeded Canfield with focus and balance in a 69-35 win.
It was a Cowboy dominated game from the tip. Chaney led 28-15 at the half, and was clearly the better team on this night. But just to add an explanation to that statement, William Brown threw down a pair of monster dunks in the third quarter to really swing the momentum scale all the way to the Cowboys. They used that to outscore Canfield 40-21 in the second half.
Chaney was led by Travis Easterly and Clive Wilson both with 12 points. Quincy Jones was also in double figures with 11. Brown finished with 10.
Chaney moves on to face the winner of Thursday’s Struthers vs Ursuline game in the district championship on Saturday at Boardman High School. Start time is set for 4:00.
CANFIELD OH- Salem’s season came to an end on Tuesday night with a 58-53 loss to Canfield in the sectional semifinals.
It was a competitive game throughout. Salem trailed by just four at the half 27-23. They had a great third quarter outscoring Canfield 20-11 in the quarter to lead 53-48 going into the final stretch. The Cardinals just made a final push to surpass the Quakers.
Drew Weir led the Quakers with 18 points. He also hit five three pointers in the game. Salem ends their season with a record of 6-17.

On December 28th Canfield went in to Poland and handed the Bulldogs their 2nd loss of the season 46-42. It was a loss that stayed with Coach Blanch for a while. He felt they left the win out on the court. The Bulldogs have gone a 13 game winning streak since that loss and they came in to Canfield Thursday night and avenged their early season loss with a 48-38 victory.
Poland jumped ahead quickly leading 9-2 out of the gates. Canfield stabilizes a bit to end the first frame, only trailing Poland 13-8. The second quarter is where Poland would flex their muscles. Their offense hit timely shots, and their defense locked the Cardinals down. The Bulldogs went into the locker room with a 28-14 lead thanks to a three in the final seconds by Connie Cougras.
With clear momentum out of the half Poland kept their foot on the gas. They kept pace with a Canfield team that seemed to figure things out a bit on offense. Poland won a competitive third frame by just a point, not letting Canfield gain any ground. They would have to endure one last gasp from the Cardinals in the fourth quarter but it was too little too late, and the Bulldogs came away with a ten point win.
Jackie Grisdale has a huge 23 point performance to lead the team. Brooke Bobbey started to get shots to fall and finished with 8.
Poland now can focus on their first tournament game. The sectional final against the winner of Struthers vs Niles will be on Thursday February 20th at Poland.

The rivalry for 224 is renewed. Canfield came in to Poland on Saturday afternoon and came away with an impressive four point victory 40-36.
The Bulldogs spent all day working hard for every point they got. The Cardinal Defense was suffocating and did not allow any free space for the Poland offense. The offensive struggles put Poland in an early 19-9 hole in the first half. Then freshman Arianna Daniels came off the bench and gave Poland a spark with a tough basket from the baseline. The Bulldogs ended the first half on a 9-0 run to only trail 19-18 at the break.
Kailyn Brown started to get things going in the third quarter as Poland tied up the game before heading into the final frame. With the score tied at 32 in the fourth Canfield hit a big three after securing a loose ball and catching Poland out of position. This would prove to be a turning point in the game as the Cardinals scored five of the next six points in the game. This was mainly due to three straight offensive rebounds off of free throws. Connie Cougras hit a late three but it was too little too late for the Bulldogs as they feel to Canfield 40-36.
Kailyn Brown led Poland with 12 points 10 rebounds. Connie Cougras gave the Bulldogs a strong 8 points off the bench.
Poland takes a week off and will host Liberty on Saturday January 4th.

The South Range boys’ basketball team waited a long time to get back on the court in the offseason. The saying goes good things come to those who wait. The Raiders used a 16-8 third quarter to pull away from Canfield and win 65-47.
The game was a real back and forth affair up until that 16-8 third frame. With 14 seconds left in the first half, the Raiders led 31-28 and the Cardinals had the ball. They were poised with the opportunity to either cut the lead to one or tie the game before halftime. Kris Scandy had other plans though as he jumped into a passing lane got the steal, and got the deep three at the buzzer to put the Raiders up 34-28 at the break. It was all Raiders from that point on.
Chris Brooks was just a rebound away from a double-double with a 26 point 9 rebound effort. Dante DiGaetano was also in double figures with 14 points and 7 rebounds.
The Raiders return to the floor on Tuesday night as they host LaBrae.

Week 11, the first week of the 2019 OHSAA football playoffs, saw Coach Dan Yeagley and the South Range Raiders offense start off slower than we have seen all year, as they trailed Bellaire 7-2 going into the half. The second half, however, was a completely different story as the Raiders rattled off 28 unanswered points in route to a 30-7 victory. Week 12 or Round Two, however you might be keeping track at home, will send South Range on the road to take on the #1 seed, the Kirtland Hornets, in Niles at Bo Rein Stadium on Saturday night.
The pride of YSN, D.J. Yokley, sat down with Coach Yeagley this past week to talk about the big first-round win, what his outlook is moving into their second-round match up with perennial powerhouse Kirtland, and also what the Raiders need to accomplish to move on to Round 3.
