REBELS RUN OVER SOUTHEAST

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- Both teams came into this game with a lot of momentum as the Crestview Rebels who had a first round bye,  hosted the SouthEast Pirates who were trying to steal the Rebels gold while getting a big win in the first round against Buckeye Local 35-6 last week 

 

The Rebels got the first points on the board as senior Brandon Yanssens knocked a 30-yard field goal in making it 3-0.  Later on in the first, it was Yassens again, using his big power to get a seven-yard touchdown.  The extra point was no good however and it was 9-0.  

 

Now, Pat Mcafee would be proud of Yanssens as he hit a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter which meant the Rebels were in it for the brand.  Then, there was the rushing attack led by Ethan Powell and William Hardenbrook as both combined for 261 yards in the backfield.  These two were like the Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt of high school football.  Hardenbrook went 13-yards for the score which made it 19-0 at the half and adjustments for the Pirates needed to be made. 

 

Crestview ended up scoring two more touchdowns in the third before the running clock started.  Those touchdowns were a Anthony Cusick three yard run and Yanssens picking off Pirates quarterback Aidan Fischer for a 72-yard interception which was returned for a touchdown making the final 33-0 as the Pirates were unable to get the treasure of a victory.  Now, head coach Paul Cusick and his team are on a roll after a bye week, and we will have to see if that continues. 

 

Stats

 

William Hardenbrook finished the game with 134 yards on the ground and a touchdown, while Ethan Powell had 127 yards.  Quarterback Anthony Cusick had 30 yards with a touchdown too.  Cusick also finished 5-10 for 90 yards passing.  Brandon Yanssens was all over the field, kicking two field goals and getting that big interception. 

 

Next: the Crestview Rebels  (5-1) will have to make a trip to play Garrettsville Garfield (7-0) who just snuck in a 24-21 win against Cardinal Mooney.  That game will be next Saturday at 7pm.  For SouthEast, they end their season at .500 with a record of 4-4 and will look to get stronger for the 2021 season.

YSN VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT BREAKDOWN

/in /by

EAST PALESTINE OH- It’s finally postseason time on the volleyball courts across YSN nation! There are plenty of teams in the YSN family that have legitimate shots at long tournament runs. There are four number 1 seeds across the coverage area.

The tournaments look a little different this season, and yes it can be a bit confusing but don’t worry! We are here to clear things up. This season the regions were split into two, and each side of each region voted on seeding. In years past teams would only vote on their district, but this season they are effectively voting on two districts for seeding. Once seeded each team had the opportunity to choose between two district brackets to go into. 1 seed chose first, 2 seed second, and so on. That is why you will see a lot of these brackets have a 1 seed, and the next highest seed a 5. The brackets are separated and now area teams that would normally have to duel for a district championship might not see each other until regionals. Heres a breakdown of how each division looks about teams in the YSN family.

DIVISION IV:

Mineral Ridge was voted the one seed in their half of the region. The back to back MVAC Scarlet Champions finished the regular season at 19-2. They will play in the Northeast 2 bracket. Other teams joining them include 5 seed Columbiana, who finished the season 17-5. The Clippers are the next highest seed Ridge will have to deal with in their district. Wellsville is the 2 seed in Division IV, and they will play in the Northeast 1 bracket. Wellsville is 17-5 and owners of the EOAC crown. Joining Wellsville is Western Reserve the three seed with a record of 17-5.

South Range was voted the 5 seed and is on the opposite side of the region bracket. The Raiders and Rebels would not meet until regional finals. United is another team to watch in the tournament. Voted the 6 seed, and a bye in the first round. They come in with a record of 14-8.

REBELS CONTINUE LAKEVIEW’S WOES

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- Lakeview came into Wednesday’s matchup against Crestview trying to recover from their first loss of the season, and their first NE8 loss in over 2 years. However the Rebels made sure the Bulldogs continued to struggle with a dominating win in straight sets (25-16 25-22 25-15).

The Crestview game plan was simple, yet effective. They attacked Lakeview’s setter Maggie Pavlansky, making her take the first touch, and they added on fantastic play from their middle blockers. Executing that plan to perfection the Rebels made it very difficult for Lakeview to get into system. The Bulldogs were definitely dealing with confidence issues. All season other players would step up and move the ball wonderfully when teams would attack Pavlansky. It simply wasn’t happening against the Rebels, and that was a key factor to their struggles.

The Rebels were led by Lucy Montgomery who barely missed another triple double with 16 kills, 10 assists, and 9 digs. Grace Auer was right behind her with 16 assists, 15 digs, and 9 kills. Shelby Rambo played wonderfully in the middle finishing with 8 kills, and 3 blocks.

Lakeview was led by Tara Lytle who finished with 10 kills on the day. 6 of them came in the first set. Brooke Schneider played good defense and had a match-high 21 digs. Pavlansky set up 19 assists.

Crestview heads on to another test as they play Heartland on Saturday. Lakeview will look to change their fortunes as they return home to host South Range.
