/in /by

HUBBARD OH- It was a special night in Hubbard as the Eagles community along with Mooney’s came together to remember fallen members of both communities. Jillian Marian a Hubbard teach, and Mark Pelini a 2010 Mooney graduate, and assistant coach on the football team both passed away in a car accident last weekend. The week was hard on both schools as students and faculty alike grappled with the new reality. But tragedy can bring great things about, and on this night both Mooney and Hubbard showed just how strong people can be when they come together. The gym was packed, as stories and memories were shared from both sides about the departed beloved. On this night, it was way more than just a game.

After all was said and done, there was still volleyball to be played. Hubbard started the last week of the regular season off with a win in 4 sets over Mooney (25-16 21-25 25-23 25-16)

Aubrey Panigall won Player of the Game and led the Eagles with 15 kills. Peytyn Slovesko chipped in an impressive 13 kills as well as 4 blocks.  The Eagles served up 6 aces as a team.

Mooney was led by Maria Fire who had 12 kills on the night. Jada Lane, and Amarra Anderson both added 6 kills to the cause.  Addison Stacy played inspired volleyball all night and had multiple highlight saves to go along with her sets.

Hubbard still has to finish out NE8 play on Wednesday as they host Niles. Mooney returns to action on Tuesday with round 2 of the Holy War at home. Mooney won the first matchup at Ursuline in 4 sets.

MOONEY COMPLETES MEMORABLE COMEBACK

/in /by

WARREN, OH- Mollenkopf stadium was the stage for a heavy bout in week 8 between Mooney and Warren Harding Friday night. It was a heavy hearted game for the Cardinals, dealing with adversity on and off the field. A not so good first half turned into an unbelievable comeback in the 2nd half. The Raiders raced out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, and went into halftime with that lead. Mooney found a second gear in the second half and exploded with 26 unanswered points and did not allow Harding to find the endzone again to come away with a huge 26-17 victory. 

Warren Harding started the game off with a quick two scores, both by Dalys Jett. Jett took the second play of the game 74-yards for a touchdown. The next drive, Jett found Naujeat Jones for a 21-yard TD pass. Coming out of half down by 17, Jarmar Howell and the Cardinals took over. Howell came out firing with 109 rushing yards in just the third quarter. Ashton O’Brien put up the first score for the Cardinals with an 18 yard TD. Then early in the fourth, Howell cut the Harding lead down to three with a 7-yard TD run. After a turnover by the Raiders, Mooney pulled some tricks out of their bag with a direct snap play to Alec Delsignore who found the endzone to give the Cardinals their first lead of the night. Harding would eventually give up another turnover, but Mooney gave it right back within minutes after an interception. But Delsignore came up huge for the Cardinals when he snatched a pick 6 to extend Mooney’s lead to 26-17. 

For Mooney, Howell finished with 169 yards on 17 carries and a TD. Mooney outgained the Raiders in the second half, 250-100.
