THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

/in /by

CAMPBELL, OH- The Campbell Memorial Red Devils have been on a journey marked by ups and downs this season. However, last week’s shining victory over Jackson-Milton has reinvigorated the team, setting the stage for an exciting end to the regular season. Senior leader and offensive lineman, Jacob Tavarnak, shared insights on the pivotal win and the path forward during a recent episode of the “YSN” podcast, hosted by Matt Maher.

Reflecting on the crucial victory, Tavarnak stated, “It’s great to have the team back motivated again and ready to make the playoffs if we win this Friday.” The Red Devils executed a strategic offensive game plan focused on the run game, allowing them to break through Jackson-Milton’s defenses. Tavarnak credited the teamwork and coordinated blocks upfront for the success, saying, “We had a big run game plan going into that week… just working down the field chunk by chunk.”

With only one game left in the regular season, Campbell Memorial is eyeing a playoff spot. Currently ranked 18th, a win against Waterloo could catapult them into the 13th spot, potentially securing a home-field advantage later in the playoffs. Looking ahead, Tavarnak stressed, “Our game plan is just playing fundamental, playing sound, and just doing what we do best. If we do what we do best, we will come out with this win.”

Beyond the football field, Tavarnak is also gearing up for the basketball season, slated to start in late November. While he’s excited about the upcoming transition, his focus remains firmly on closing out the football season on a high note.

Fundamental to their success this year has been the team’s bond, both on and off the field. Tavarnak highlighted the unparalleled camaraderie, explaining, “Everyone here is close; we’re like family.” This unity, he believes, is a key reason behind the team’s achievements this season.

As the Red Devils prepare for their final regular-season game at home, the community’s support will be crucial. Tavarnak acknowledged the fans’ unwavering support, calling them “amazing” and expressing confidence in a full turnout. He urged fans to join them, promising an exciting game and a potential victory against Waterloo.

The Campbell Memorial Red Devils, under the guidance of Coach King, have overcome myriad challenges to create a season to remember. As they step onto the field for perhaps the most significant game of their season, the unity and resilience that have brought them this far remain their strongest assets.

/in /by

CAMPBELL, OH-  In an engaging debut of the “Campbell Football Coaches Corner” podcast series, hosted by Matt Maher at Tavern 26, Coach Jermaine Venable shed light on Campbell Memorial’s recent triumphs and challenges on the football field. The inaugural episode, which aired last week, provided listeners with a behind-the-scenes look at the high school football team’s latest victory and the unwavering community support that fuels their success.

Coach Venable, a seasoned defensive line coach, embarked on a detailed discussion about Campbell Memorial’s decisive win against St. Thomas Aquinas. Assessing his team’s performance, Venable rated it a ‘B’, noting areas for improvement but also expressing pride in the players’ resilience and effort, especially amid travel disruptions due to local fair activities.

“It’s about building depth and keeping fresh bodies on the field,” Venable emphasized, acknowledging his team’s strategic player rotations which contributed significantly to their defensive shutout.

The conversation also highlighted Venable’s dual role, extending his expertise to the offensive line and his commitment to community engagement. A lifelong Campbell Memorial advocate, Venable brings a rich personal history to his coaching approach, having graduated from the same district where he now invests his time. His dedication extends beyond the field, serving in the school’s in-school suspension program, reinforcing discipline and structure among the younger students.

“It’s all about commitment,” Venable said, after reflecting on his passion for both football and his community. “I’ve got deep roots here; my family’s history is intertwined with Campbell, and that motivates me every day.”

In a heartfelt moment, Venable credited his family’s support, particularly his wife Chantelle, and spoke fondly of his late father, his lifelong role model. The tribute to his father underscored the deeply personal values that shape his coaching philosophy.

The lighthearted end to the podcast came with a nod to Tavern 26’s famed menu, where Coach Venable revealed his favorite — the haddock tacos, a testament to his love for seafood.

Listeners left the episode not only with insights into the football team’s strategic plans but also with an appreciation for Coach Venable’s unwavering commitment to his team and community. As Campbell Memorial’s football season progresses, fans can rest assured that the leadership guiding their Red Devils is as dedicated and passionate as ever.
