/in /by

AUSTINTOWN OH-
The Fitch Falcons showcased a high-powered defense, in renewal of the west side rivalry Friday night. The X-factor of The Falcons defense? Sophomore free safety DeShawn Vaughn Jr., who ended the day with 3 interceptions. Chaney had a productive day on the ground, with JR Telligton and Jace Austin-Amill leading the way!
On the offensive side of the ball, DJ Williams added a touchdown on the ground. Devin Sherwood also found the endzone with a touchdown pass on the day, a part of The Falcons 27-0 victory over The Cowboys.
The Falcons look to go on the road next Friday to face a tough Canton McKinley team. While Chaney looks to refocus against another AAC opponent in the Boardman Spartans for week 2.

HEADED HOME: CHANEY COWGIRLS SOFTBALL PREVIEW

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – Jessica Gavin is the Chaney Cowgirls softball head coach. Key returners are Mae, Bowman, Robinson, and Sharp. Coach Gavin is looking for these players to help build a foundation to the squad this upcoming season. Limited experience and challenges with school only coming back just recently. School sessions are part time due to Youngstown City rules, Mondays and Fridays only as of right now. It was tough to build the program when you aren’t able to see the kids and speak to them on a day to day basis. Covid hit everyone hard the past year and Chaney is no different in that regard. Chaney would have had a JV program in 2020, but with players graduating and no classes until recently it’s unlikely for the program to have a JV team this year. Coach Jessica Gavin is an alumni here at Chaney High School and was also on the last team before the school closed down in 2009. She was a part of bringing the program back just 2 years ago. Coach Gavin is determined to keep growing and completely dedicated to reviving this program to glory. Coach Gavin talked about goals and its real clear teaching and getting the girls excited about playing softball is the clear goal here at Chaney.

COWBOYS RIDE COMES TO A STOP

/in /by

BARBERTON, Ohio –

After dominating their way through the Northeast 2 district, the Chaney Cowboys (12-7) traveled to Barberton for a neutral site matchup with the surprise winner of the Northeast 4 district, Gilmour Academy (11-9).

The #10 seeded Gilmour Academy upset the district favorite, Warrensville Heights, in the district semi-finals then defeated fellow cinderella story, #11 seeded Padua Franciscan, for the district title.

Chaney, the clear favorite in this matchup, jump started the night thanks to a pair of three pointers from senior guard Sharrod Taylor. By the end of the first quarter of play, the Cowboys were up 15-5.

Trailing by 10, the Gilmour Academy Lancers came out inspired in the second quarter of play. Led by Ben DeMell’s 11 second quarter points, the Lancers were able to close the Cowboy’s lead to just 3 point with 2 minutes to play. Thanks to an offensive rebound and put back score from Quincy Jones, the Cowboys got their lead back out to 5 to end the half.

Coming out of the locker room, Gilmour’s Ben DeMell continued his stellar play. The 6-foot-5 senior scored 9 straight points for the Lancers, playing a key role in tying the game up with just 30 seconds to play in the 3rd.

Usually dominant on the offensive glass, the Cowboys had no answer for Gilmour Academy’s size. Taking their first lead of the game with 7 minutes remaining, the Lancers packed in the paint and forced the Cowboy’s to shoot.

Unfortunately for Chaney, they went cold just as the Lancers got hot. Scoring 22-points in the final quarter of play, Gilmour Academy completed another upset on their postseason run, defeating Chaney 59-52.

LEADING SCORERS:

Chaney

Sharrod Taylor – 18 points

Quincy Jones – 11 points

Cam Lawrence – 8 points

Gilmour Academy

Ben DeMell – 26 points

Ryan Mueller – 11 points

UP NEXT:

In a regional matchup that could have held two valley teams, will now see zero. With their win, Gilmour Academy will move on to compete for the Regional championship, where they must faceoff with Saint Vincent Saint Mary. Saint V’s defeated Struthers 76-37 in the regional semi-finals.

CHANEY ROPES IN DISTRICT CROWN

/in /by

POLAND, Ohio –

Almost two years ago, the Poland Bulldogs defeated the freshly re-established Chaney Boys Basketball program at Boardman High School for the Youngstown District title. While Chaney wouldn’t come away with the victory that day, the result would spark a fire in the basketball program.

Throughout the 2019-2020 season, the Cowboys adopted the rallying cry of “Unfinished Business.” The Chaney program had unfinished business and wanted to make it back to the district final. They would, defeating Struthers 53-50, earning the right to move on and face Akron Saint Vincent–Saint Mary in the regional semi-finals. Then, COVID-19 struck, and it seemed as if the world had stopped turning.

With their season cut short, Chaney never got their shot at Saint V’s. Coming into the 2020-2021 season, there was more unfinished business for the Cowboys. Their first step was to repeat as district champions and in today’s matchup between Chaney and Poland, the Cowboys would not only accomplish their first goal, but get revenge in the process.

On route to their 70-48 victory, three different Chaney Cowboys put up double digits in their win: Sharrod Taylor – 26, Cam Lawrence – 14, Josiah Gonzalez – 12.

UP NEXT:

With the district title secured, the Chaney Cowboys (12-6) will now move on to face off with the winner of the Northeast 4 District, the Gilmour Academy Lancers (10-9).

While it has been an easy ride to this point in the postseason for the Cowboys, winning each game by at least 22 points, the Lancers had to scrap and claw through their district. An upset win over #3 seed Warrensville Heights and a district final win over #11 seed Padua Franciscan, the Lancers have won their last two games by a combined 5-points.

Chaney and Gilmour Academy will vie for the chance at a Regional title Thursday the 11th at Barberton High School. Tip off is scheduled for 8:15 pm but could be delayed due to the Saint Vincent Saint Mary and Struthers game starting at 5:30 pm.

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio –

The playoff atmosphere was in full effect on the west side of Youngstown as the Chaney Cowboys(11-6) looked to make it to their third straight district final.

Both teams started off hot, putting the score tied at 7 all with half a quarter to play. The Cowboys proceeded to go on a 26-0 run to blow the game wide open.

Chaney continued their scoring onslaught and defensive pressure through the end of the first half and into the start of the second.

West Branch (18-7) wouldn’t go easily into the night however, putting together a strong defensive effort in the third quarter led by their stout defense in the post. Big men Andrew Coffee and Josh Gregory came out of the half with an attitude, poised to protect the rim.

Despite their efforts, Chaney’s big run proved to be too much. Each time the Warriors would gain momentum, the Cowboys would steal it right back with a run of their own. The Cowboys earned their spot in their third straight disctict final, winning big, 73-41.

LEADING SCORERS:

Chaney

Sharrod Taylor – 18 points

Quincy Jones – 16 points

TAYLOR’S 1000TH POINT COMES WITH CHANEY’S SECTIONAL WIN

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio –

Another playoff game, another victory by 30 plus points for the Chaney Cowboys (10-6). Although Chaney headed into the half up by 18 points, the consensus was the Cowboys played a sloppy first half.

Sharrod Taylor’s eclipsing of the 1000-point mark and becoming just the 2nd player in Chaney history to reach 1000 points highlighted the half, while Clive Wilson’s two second quarter dunks played second fiddle.

If Chaney’s first half play was considered sloppy, their second half play was the complete opposite, sharp. Picking up their defensive pressure, the Cowboys held the visiting Edgewood Warriors (5-10) to just 14 points in the half.

To match their defensive prowess, the Showtime Cowboys brought it on the offensive side as well. Five different players scored for the Cowboys in their 30–point 3rd quarter. Sharrod Taylor led the way with 10, while Josiah Gonzalez and Cam Lawrence added 7 and 6 of their own, respectively.

The only thing that could stop the Showtime Cowboys was the running clock. Instituted in the 4th quarter, the running clock held Chaney to just 14 points in the final quarter, leaving the Cowboys shy of the century mark, but still victorious, 91-43.

LEADING SCORERS:

Chaney

Sharrod Taylor – 30 points

Josiah Gonzalez – 15 points

Cam Lawrence – 12 points

Edgewood

Isaiah Harris – 12 points

Ben Welthy – 11 points

UP NEXT:

Chaney – Looking to make their third straight district final appearance, the Chaney Cowboys will host the West Branch Warriors (17-6) Thursday, March 4th at 7:00 pm. The #6 seed Warriors defeated Marlington, 58-50, in the previous round.
