CARDINAL MOONEY COACH’S CORNER WITH PJ FECKO (EP 6)

/in /by

If you’ve ever been inside the gymnasium at Cardinal Mooney, it serves as a constant reminder of rich winning tradition everywhere you look.  Quite literally, the walls are blanketed in championship banners from pillar to post.

The 2018 Cardinals have been tasked with adding to those walls under one of the toughest schedules in the state of Ohio.  They have yet to blink.  Sure- they want to win, but humble warriors in defeat are the most dangerous of all.

Head Coach PJ Fecko sits down with our Steve Leslie to discuss the opportunities ahead for the Cards in this week’s Cardinal Mooney Coach’s Corner!

HEART’S ON FIRE!

/in /by

What’s in a name?  Well, for Cardinal Mooney Senior Anthony Fire- a lot.

Fire’s name is listed next to #81 in your football program.

Fire’s name is synonymous with Cardinal Mooney Athletics.

Fire’s name is on the mind of every opposing coach on Friday night.

Most of all, though, Fire’s name is one that everybody in the Valley should take note of because he’s doing big things.

Anthony Fire is one of the top tight ends, and defensive ends in the area, and continues to prove it every down.  The Cardinals will strap up for Louisville this Friday, and Fire will once again be helping the Cards fly high toward Week 11.

YSN General Manager, Steve Leslie sat down with Fire to discuss his rich heritage at Mooney, as well as what this season means to him.  This week’s Cardinal Mooney Player Profile is Anthony Fire- HEART’S ON FIRE!

COACHING IS A SILVER LINING FOR MCCLOUD

/in /by

When we mention nearly every week the tradition, respect, and legacy that families have at Cardinal Mooney, it’s not just smoke and mirrors.  This week for our Coach’s Corner, we focus on Brendan McCloud who is the Offensive Line Coach for the Cards.

Coach McCloud talks about growing up in the Cardinal Mooney family, watching the program all his life, and now the opportunity to coach with his good friend, PJ Fecko.  Twenty four years later, McCloud still roams the sidelines teaching the next generation of lineman the Mooney Way.

Many memories, many conversations all point to this great interview with YSN Steve Leslie, and Brendan McCloud as they talk about the tragedies and triumphs over the years at Cardinal Mooney.  This week’s Cardinal Mooney Coach’s Corner is: COACHING IS A SILVER LINING FOR MCCLOUD and is PROUDLY Sponsored by M.P.

HERE WE JORNIGAN

/in /by

When opposing defenses look at tape on Cardinal Mooney, they see speed, they see power, they see talent, and then they see the mountain at left tackle who protects the quarterback’s blind side.  Mooney Senior, Kyle Jornigan, is quite simply a force.  Except with his superhuman stature, and freakish athletic ability- you’d need the National Guard called in order to get past this young man.

He’s the anchor of the offensive line, and his calm demeanor off the field and beast-like motor on it creates the perfect storm for the next level of football.  While he’s here though, he wants to help right the ship for the Cards and help Mooney return to their home in Week 11.

Our General Manager, Steve Leslie, caught up with Kyle in this week’s Cardinal Mooney Player Profile: HERE WE JORNIGAN

THE MARCHIONDA EFFECT

/in /by

A young man who says “Family is everything” represents the name well every time he takes the field.  However, when you’re fortunate enough to take in a game featuring Cardinal Mooney Senior Nico Marchionda, you’ll understand quickly that he puts it all on the line for his family and teammates each and every down.

Marchionda may wear the uniform of #5, but he plays like number one, and trains like he’s the second best.  His hands are incredible, his vision is outstanding, and his future is oh so bright!

Our Steve Leslie had the chance to do what nobody seems to be able to do- catch up to Nico Marchionda.  This week’s Cardinal Mooney Player Profile: THE MARCHIONDA EFFECT
