COLUMBIANA BOYS BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH TODD JOHNSON

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- Basketball season is on the horizon and we’d like to continue our season previews with the Columbiana boys program. The Clippers were a team last season that had to play a lot of young players in varsity situations. Because of this, obviously there some growing pains. The pay off for giving experience to youth one season is the growth they’ll have in the next season. That is the situation Columbiana finds themselves in. There will be plenty of experience on the floor for the Clippers this season that will turn them in to a team to be reckoned with in the area.

Head coach Todd Johnson was able to come on to YSN’s Running Point to help us preview the Clippers upcoming season. He talks with Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell about the experience last season brought, what to expect out of his players, and much more. Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Todd Johnson is live.

THAT’S A RAPP

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- Columbiana has a mixture of experience and new faces this year on the volleyball court. They lost key players last season like setter Grace Witmer, and libero Maci Linhart. In order for this team to mesh together with so many new players, the returning leaders had to step up. One of those returning leaders is Julia Rapp.

Julia is currently leading the Clippers in kills with 155. She also has 43 aces on the season, and 46 digs. She leads the team in blocks with a total of 18. Along with all of those great numbers comes s fantastic leader on the court for the Clippers. Julia has been a huge reason why the Clippers haven’t missed a beat after losing the players they did a year ago.

The community recognizes her talent as well, as they have voted her into the top spot of Baird Brothers Big Dog of the Valley in Week 4. Julia came on Running Point this week to talk about her senior year. Through some technical difficulties, she talked with Anthony Hartwig and Ty Bartell about winning Big Dogs, being a leader, and much more. Check out the latest Columbiana player profile “That’s A Rapp.”

EAST PALESTINE AND COLUMBIANA RESCHEDULE TO WEEK 11

/in /by

EAST PALESTINE, OH- Disappointment cast a cloud over the rivalry of East Palestine and Columbiana earlier today when it was announced that the game would be postponed due to COVID-19 protocols in Bulldog Country.

However, it didn’t take long for both teams to agree to resurrect the game in Week 11 to maintain what is still one of the most heated rivalries in the EOAC.  Two teams that have the traveling trophy between them, and many bragging rights from year to year will still match up against each other in 2021.

That’s a big feather in the cap of both communities considering this will be one of the few (Sebring/Leetonia) that have been rescheduled this year.

“It’s been a long-standing rivalry and we always want to play them. If we were forced to only choose one game to play in a season…it would be against our rival” says East Palestine Head Coach Tony Foster.

The game will be played in East Palestine on October 29th and will serve as Fall Senior Night for Bulldog Activities.

EAGLES SOAR ON SATURDAY NIGHT

/in /by

CAMPBELL, OH- It was a rough night for the Columbiana Clippers and company, however for Valley Christian not so much. Led by senior QB Joey Battista, the Eagles got off to a good start and found themselves up at half 14-6. The second half saw more of the same from Valley Christian which consisted of big runs from Cameron Davenport and Ja’Sean Lindsey.

On the defensive side of things, Junior Jon’Trell Mixon was a force all night long for the eagles. Racking up nearly 10+ tackles by halftime alone, Mixon would not be denied. Mixon picked up multiple sacks, a blocked punt, and led the team in tackles. The big 6’4” 235lb Junior will be most definitely be a name to watch all season long. The major turning point in the game was on the punt block by Mixon, which was scooped up by Camden Cecil-Cox and taken 23 yards out into the endzone to give Valley Christian a 21-6 lead.
VehShun Gurley would haul in a touchdown pass from the arm of Cam Davenport that made the score 28-14.
Valley Christian gets it done tonight by a score of 35-20.
Columbiana will ramp up for East Palestine, while Valley will prep for Southen at home next Saturday night.
