/in /by

LOWELLVILLE OH- Valley Christian had a lot to celebrate Saturday. The Eagles not only handled Lowellville with a 49-29 beatdown, but they also helped head coach Dolph Carroll notch his 200th career win.

Jaylen Robinson led the charge with 17 points, while Deion Miller added 12, and Patrick Riley chipped in 10 to round out a solid team effort. Valley Christian’s defense kept the Rockets grounded all night.

Lowellville got 9 points from Josh Pazel, 7 from Rick Willrich, and 5 from Drew Modelski, but they couldn’t get any momentum going against the Eagles’ pressure.

Next up, Valley Christian heads to Mooney on Tuesday, while Lowellville looks to bounce back Monday at Mineral Ridge. Keep an eye on both squads this week!

YOUNGSTOWN OH—The highly anticipated Valley Christian boys’ basketball season is set to begin, bringing fresh hopes and excitement. Head coach Dolph Carroll, alongside assistant coach Anthony Hartwig, recently sat down for an exclusive podcast episode of YSN’s Coach’s Corner to discuss the upcoming season and share insights into the team’s preparation.

Reflecting on last year’s challenges, Coach Hartwig emphasized the growth shown by his players, particularly their improvement in mental toughness and understanding of the team’s philosophy. This year, Valley Christian boasts a roster rich with returning talent. With three seniors leading the pack, the team is gearing up for what promises to be an interesting season. Coach Carroll acknowledged the competitive nature of the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference (EOAC), highlighting the respect he holds for the other coaches and their programs. “Every night, we have to bring it,” Carroll asserted, emphasizing the importance of focusing on their own performance rather than worrying about the opposition.

In addition to their rigorous conference schedule, Valley Christian will face strong non-conference opponents, including Mooney and Brookfield, as part of a challenging road-heavy early season designed to build resilience and mental toughness. Coach Hartwig, also serving as Valley Christian’s Athletic Director, shared his excitement for the basketball season, noting the unique and supportive school environment that contributes to the team’s success. The Eagles’ coaching staff, featuring long-time assistant Bill Yelby, former player John Peccia, Ken Madison, and Tony Du Felice, remains committed to developing both the athletic skills and character of their players. Coach Carroll praised the entire Valley Christian community, whose unwavering support helps to nurture the young men both on and off the court.

Valley Christian fans won’t have to wait long to see their team in action. The Eagles will open their season on December 6th with a road game against Brookfield, followed by games at Lowville and Mooney. As they embark on this journey, Coach Hartwig and Coach Carroll remain focused on one goal: guiding the Valley Christian boys toward a successful and memorable season.
