CHRIS AMILL STEPS DOWN AT CHANEY

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, OH- It isn’t often in life that there’s a position that is so perfect for one person, it’s as if it was written in the stars.  That was the case at Chaney a few years ago when Chris Amill was selected to be the Head Coach of the Chaney Cowboys.  Amill had all the required features, as well as the intangibles.  He knows football, has a great work ethic, and most of all he cares for the kids inside his program as if they were his own.

Amill had a great understanding of what his group of young men were going through because he lived it.  He had been there, and done that while coming out stronger on the other side because of his focus.  Now it was his turn to lead the next generation of Cowboys into the most promising days, so there could be an opportunity for them as well.

Mission accomplished.

In his three years as a Coach and mentor in Chaney, Amill changed lives on and off the field.  Chris was able to send a multitude of his players into the college ranks to not only continue to play football but take steps toward winning the rest of their lives as well.

On Thursday, November 11th we were informed that Chris Amill would be accepting a position in North Carolina to impact the lives of those in the south.  While we know he will be greatly missed by many in Youngstown, we know that Coach Amill will create more opportunities for more young lives wherever he goes- and we thank him for his time and efforts in The Valley, as his impact will be felt for years to come.

We had the exclusive with Coach Amill as the news broke, and we ask him about his impact here, and what lies ahead.

#ThankYouChris

Coach Chris Amill is undoubtedly one of the most influential coaches in the area.
With his Chaney Cowboys coming away victorious over the very physical Howland Tigers by a final score of 32-21.

With amazing performances from young standout players, such as Matt Jones, The Cowboys are starting to build into that strong program. One that cowboys of the past can be quite fond of.
With a perfect blend of athleticism and physicality, Coach Amill teaches old-school west side football, one that can be intimidating to a number of teams.

As Warren Harding stands in front of The Cowboys, who are in search of a playoff spot in Division 3. It is a classic matchup of Raiders versus Cowboys in this matchup!

As Coach Amill stopped by with Anthony and Ty to discuss this season on Running Point.

CHANEY FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER/PLAYER PROFILE SPECIAL

/in , /by

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – When you think of Chaney football you think of head coach Chris Amill and then some of the stars on the football team. When you think of what you want in a football player, consistency, calm under pressure, and a leader usually come to mind. The Coach Amill and the Chaney Cowboys have all of that and much more in their two star players, Delshawn Petrosky and Jason Hewlett. Their leadership is what keeps the ‘Boys moving forward even when it might seem like they might be out of answers, Petrosky and Hewlett always gets their team ready to play and lead by example. The confidence they have built up over the past two seasons is what makes them true leaders this year for the Chaney Cowboys.

When asked what makes Delshawn the player that he is, his response is simply “the team around me.” Petrosky is always the first person to give credit to his surrounding cast and build his teammates up before he takes the credit for himself. His playing style is identical to that as well, as he is one to get everyone involved on and off the field as a leader and great teammate. When talking to Jason, he echoed much of the same. Hewlett is all about making the team better and winning football games before taking credit or getting numbers for himself. Jason focuses and prides himself on being a big, strong, physical football player who imposes his will on both sides of the ball as a leader in the secondary from his safety position but also on offense as one of the top receivers and even sometimes the quarterback for this Chaney squad.

YSN’s own, Steve Leslie, took some time this week to talk with the Chaney stars and head ball coach, as they talked about their goals moving into the playoffs, what Delshawn’s and Jason’s personal success can do on the football field to lead the Cowboys throughout the season and playoffs, what their plans for after high school are, some takeaways on his star players from Coach Amill’s perspective, what Coach has in store for us in this first round of the playoffs, and much much more.

Learn all about the Chaney Cowboys football stars and Coach in this very special and exclusive coach’s corner and dual player profiles with, Delshawn Petrosky, Jason Hewlett, and head coach Chris Amill!
