EDGEWOOD OPENS WITH A THRILLING WIN

/in /by

ASHTABULA OH- In their YSN debut Edgewood, and Conneaut put on an absolute show. In a old school physical grudge match, Edgewood scored a late two point conversion to win 15-14.

After a scoreless first quarter, Conneaut scored first. Wyatt Payne capped off a 71 yard scoring drive with a 4 yard touchdown.  Edgewood would respond with a flash. A 70 yard interception return for a touchdown by Jacob Ernst tied the game at 7-7.

After Payne’s second trip to pay dirt of the night, Conneaut took a 14-7 lead. With time winding down in the game, Edgewood had one final drive left in them.  After a couple of tries at the goal line, Edgewood finally punched one in as Seth Enos scored from 6 yards out.  But the Warriors weren’t done, they made the gutsy decision to go for the lead with a two point conversion. It paid off as the try succeeded and it gave Edgewood the 15-14 win.

Edgewood will hit the road in Week 2 as they play at Grand Valley on Friday. Conneaut will travel to Western Reserve for another road test.

JEFFERSON STARTING TO OPEN EYES

/in /by

Jefferson Opens Eyes in Division V
As The Jefferson Falcons (2-0) looked to do battle with The Edgewood Warriors (1-1) on a warm Friday evening.

The 70th annual Hoadly Cup was on the line; therefore, making the tensions in Falcon Pride Stadium that much higher.
As Coach Brandon Hanna looked to get The Falcons off to their best start since 2014. In their way, an Ashtabula County rival in The Warriors, which have defeated Jefferson in their 3 previous encounters.

The Warriors got out of the box quick by grabbing an early 7-0 lead. Thanks in part to a beautiful 20+ yard touchdown pass to Christian Cunningham.
However, as quickly as Edgewood grabbed the lead; Jefferson locked down on defense and played take over from that point on. Star quarterback Grant Hitchcock was a man amongst boys Friday night; pair it with the speed threat of Trent Hodge, and The Falcons soared on offense.
As Jefferson was able to end the drought 48-21 against Edgewood.

Words of encouragement and plenty of “I love you’s” flooded the field. The consensus was clear. This is a different year in Jefferson.
As Coach Hanna continues his impressive rookie season as the coach of The Falcons, he now aims to exceed the teams win total from last year in just Week 4. The emphatic win by Jeffeson has not only opened the eyes of The NE8, but all of Division V going forward.

As The Falcons now look to open a tough NE8 schedule with a 3-0 record. Up next? A dynamic Girard offense for Week 4. One that both Coach Hanna and the team are looking forward to.

TAYLOR’S 1000TH POINT COMES WITH CHANEY’S SECTIONAL WIN

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio –

Another playoff game, another victory by 30 plus points for the Chaney Cowboys (10-6). Although Chaney headed into the half up by 18 points, the consensus was the Cowboys played a sloppy first half.

Sharrod Taylor’s eclipsing of the 1000-point mark and becoming just the 2nd player in Chaney history to reach 1000 points highlighted the half, while Clive Wilson’s two second quarter dunks played second fiddle.

If Chaney’s first half play was considered sloppy, their second half play was the complete opposite, sharp. Picking up their defensive pressure, the Cowboys held the visiting Edgewood Warriors (5-10) to just 14 points in the half.

To match their defensive prowess, the Showtime Cowboys brought it on the offensive side as well. Five different players scored for the Cowboys in their 30–point 3rd quarter. Sharrod Taylor led the way with 10, while Josiah Gonzalez and Cam Lawrence added 7 and 6 of their own, respectively.

The only thing that could stop the Showtime Cowboys was the running clock. Instituted in the 4th quarter, the running clock held Chaney to just 14 points in the final quarter, leaving the Cowboys shy of the century mark, but still victorious, 91-43.

LEADING SCORERS:

Chaney

Sharrod Taylor – 30 points

Josiah Gonzalez – 15 points

Cam Lawrence – 12 points

Edgewood

Isaiah Harris – 12 points

Ben Welthy – 11 points

UP NEXT:

Chaney – Looking to make their third straight district final appearance, the Chaney Cowboys will host the West Branch Warriors (17-6) Thursday, March 4th at 7:00 pm. The #6 seed Warriors defeated Marlington, 58-50, in the previous round.
