2024 ALL YSN FOOTBALL TEAM ANNOUNCED

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- Each year, YSN honors the student-athletes that we felt made the greatest impact on their teams throughout the football season.  This year was no different than others with each school rich with talent on both sides of the football, many deserved to have their names in lights.

We strived to provide a comprehensive list based on suggestions by fans, announcers, coaches, and an executive team at YSN.  The list takes into consideration the amount of wins during a season, and the team (in most cases) received that number of honorees.  If a team went undefeated in the regular season, they were granted an additional player of representation.

Players of the Year are based on statistics compiled, as well as character and leadership traits witnessed throughout the year.  While we understand there are champions in every community, our internal point system takes into account several factors, and then the winners are discussed and voted on by the YSN Executive Team.

Congratulations to all of the players listed in 2024, you’ve done a remarkable job of representing your community, your team, and your families.

URSULINE DOMINATES STEEL VALLEY RIVALS

/in /by

By Tim Corso


YOUNGSTOWN OH- Ursuline took down Chaney 37-6 in Steel Valley Conference play Friday night.

Both teams got off to a slow start, punting on their first drives.

Once the Irish got the ball back though, they put together a sustained drive, converting on fourth down once, then breaking the scoreless drought halfway through the first on a 21-yard Joe Balog touchdown run.

Chaney’s defense hung in there for the Irish’s next drive by forcing an Anthony Tabak field goal attempt.

Tabak nailed a 40-yard kick that set a new Ursuline record to extend the Irish lead to 11-0.

That was the last piece of resistance seen from the Chaney defense as Ursuline got another three-and-out on defense before DC Ferrell had a 21-yard run of his own.

Ferrell accounted for three total touchdowns on the night, including two through air.

One was to Devonte Taylor (22 yards) and the other to Ray Javey (39 yards).

The Ursuline defense also forced four turnovers. They forced a pair of Cowboy fumbles, while getting an interception from both Todd and Tizzel White.

Ursuline (8-1) will take on Cardinal Mooney (3-6) next Friday 10/25 in the Holy War at Stambaugh Stadium with a chance to capture their 6th straight conference crown.

Meanwhile, Chaney (3-5) will play East (5-4) in a huge rivalry matchup at Rayen Stadium next Friday as well.
