YOUNGSTOWN, OH – Senior two way star, Mike Logan, is one of the many leaders on this Chaney Cowboys football team this season. Not only does he lead on the offensive end from his wideout position, he also controls the defense as a hard hitting defensive back who always has a knack for making a big play when the team needs him to.
Defensive and offensive specialist, Jaylen Brown has seen it all in his time at Chaney and nothing has seemed to phase him on the football field. Whether he is lurking in the secondary from his safety position or coming up with a huge catch on the other side of the football, he has always been dependable and ready to go whenever his number gets called.
Mike and Jaylen had the opportunity to sit down with Steve Leslie this week at Hackett’s Pub to discuss their senior year on the field so far, what it means to be a Chaney Cowboy to them, what their plans are for the rest of the season but also after graduation, a rapid-fire questionnaire where we are able to learn more about what makes Mike and Jaylen the young men they are, and much much more!
NILES OH- Both teams have had their share of adversity this season and only one was going to come on top. The one who came on top in the end was the Lady Red Dragons who got their third sweep of the season against the Chaney Cowgirls, winning 25-11, 25-12 and 25-14.
One of the biggest hitters in Kayla Sprague for the Red Dragons left the game early with a leg injury, causing a few Lady Red Dragons to step up. Mia Keeley stepped up with a few blocks in the second set and Aliania Thigpen was dangerous on her hits and spikes throughout the game.
It looked like the Lady Cowgirls could have some momentum early in the third set going up 3-0, but Niles fought right back with Abbey Reed leading them. Not only is this the Red Dragons third sweep, it’s not the first for new acting head coach and athletic director Marc Fritz who had a big celebration after the game giving brownies to his players in the big victory.
After the game, YSNs Ian O’Brien caught up with coach Fritz about the game and what to expect against Hubbard, as the Lady Dragons will host the Eagles Thursday 7pm.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio- In one of the most anticipated games of the weekend, Ursuline and Chaney met at Rayen Stadium with a lot on the line. For Chaney, they came in looking to preserve their undefeated record (5-0), as well as their No.4 ranking in Division III. For Ursuline, they were looking to continue their rush up towards the top of the DIII Region 9 polls, and looking to move into the Top 10 in the state polls.
The game definitely lived up to its hype. Ursuline jumped on the board first with a 19-yard touchdown run by standout Christian Lynch, which was followed by a successful two-point conversion on a direct snap to lineman Michael Branch to put the Irish up 8-0. Chaney answered just before the end of the first quarter as Jason Ami-Austin took it in from 21 yards out to cut the lead to 8-7. Lynch continued his stellar night on the next drive as he capped off a long-sustained drive with his second touchdown of the night to make it 14-7 Irish. After that was when we saw our first glimpse of what Cincinnati commit Jason Hewlett could bring to the ballgame. Hewlett returned the ensuing kickoff 80 yards to the house as Chaney quickly tied the game up at 14. Both defenses came up big throughout the second quarter, and both teams headed to their respective locker rooms all tied up.
Chaney started the second half off hot with an impressive drive, but an interception by Will Burney put an end to that and Ursuline was able to tack on three more points on a 16-yard field goal by James McGlone to make it 17-14 Irish with 8:03 remaining in the third quarter. Chaney was finally able to secure their first lead of the game just under four minutes later as Jawann Harmon punched it in from nine yards out, but Ursuline would block the extra point to keep the score at 20-14. Ursuline answered with yet another Christian Lynch touchdown run after he set the Irish up with a 50+ yard rush earlier in the drive to make it 23-20 Irish with under four minutes remaining in the third quarter. Another touchdown from Lynch, his fourth of the night, made it 30-20 Ursuline with 4:22 remaining in the fourth quarter, making it seem like the Irish had delivered the knockout punch. Chaney though had other plans, as Bryson Douglas returned the ensuing kick 70 yards for a touchdown, Chaney’s second special teams’ touchdown of the night. That would be the last score though, as Ursuline’s offense was able to run off the final four minutes, and the Irish came out victorious 30-27.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
Christian Lynch had another monster night for the Irish, totaling 37 carries for 244 yards and four touchdowns. Lynch eclipsed 1,000 yards on the season during his great night.

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – When you think of the Chaney Cowboys football team, one might think about all the skill positions and how they use their speed to run the football or how they always seem to find ways to pass the football, but little do many people know, its the guys in the trenches on the offensive line that make their offense as prolific as it is. Jaheim Jackson, our star in this player profile, is one of the “big men up front” that are constantly battling, moving mountains, and helping the Cowboys move the football down the field. The line never gets the credit in the public eye since not many people pay attention to that aspect of the game, but Jaheim doesn’t mind that. He is a man that prides himself on doing his job, doing it well, and helping the team win at all costs.
Jaheim was able to sit down with Steve Leslie this week at Hackett’s Pub on Mahoning Avenue, to discuss the season so far, how the Cowboys are playing in his opinion, what his expectations are for the season, what his plans are for after high school, a rapid-fire questionnaire where he opens up a little bit about what makes him the special player and person that he is, and so much more!
