SOUTH RANGE, GARFIELD, CRESTVIEW, EDISON FILL LIST OF DIVISION V ALL-OHIOANS

/in /by

COLUMBUS, OH- With South Range and Garfield going undefeated all regular season, and well into the post-season, you knew these two teams would fill up the accolade count when the award season came around.

They did not disappoint.

The Raiders were led by Dylan Dominguez’s first-team selection, who became the first South Range running back in history to have 3 consecutive 1000 yard seasons for the Burgundy and Gold. He was joined on the first team by record-breaking Junior Signal-Caller, Billy Skripac as well as Michael Lally and Logan Cormell.

Second teamers for South Range include Jacob Brooks on the offensive line and linebacker, Tyler Remish.  Bailey Ryan would head the third team, and the tandem of Connor Jones, Ayden Leon and Shane Lindstrom were named honorable mention.

Garfield landed their star running back, Anthony Demma on the first team, with Riley LaPorte garnering the same honor on the offensive line.  Brody Swigonski wrapped his senior year with a third-team all-state selection as well.  Austin Roman hauled in an honorable mention on the offensive line, while sophomore Keegan Sell made the team as a linebacker, and Colin Lysiak did the same on special teams.

Crestview had a couple of standouts make the list, as Anthony Cusick etched his name at honorable mention QB, and his teammate Roclen Bettura joined him at linebacker.

Edison’s Jacob Cusick was selected to the second team, and sophomore, and Chase McClurg joins the team as an honorable mention linebacker with Hunter Russell landing on the offensive line.

We congratulate these young men on representing their families, communities, school and program at the highest level this season!

BEAVERS DON’T BACK DOWN TO EDISON

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL OH- The Beavers won their third straight game, getting over .500 for the first time this season with a 27-21 win over the Edison Wildcats

Edison started the game on the right foot, forcing a turnover on the first play of the game. The Beaver defense stood strong on a 4th and 4 the ensuing Edison drive though, and capitalized with a 30 yard TD pass from Austin Cline to Dorian Jackson. Defense took over for the remainder of the first, as Edison struck first in the second with a Mason Eisenaugle TD run. Beaver Local answered with a 21 yard TD pass from Cline to Logan Blissenbach. Late in the second, Beaver Local looked to be heading into the locker room with a 7 point lead, but Jacob Cusik came up with a big INT and returned it to the Beavers 10 yard line. Gage Cline would run it in two plays later from 8 out, and we had a tie ballgame at the half.

Edison got the ball out of half, but it amounted to nothing, as they went three and out. Beaver Local would then score the next 2 TDS of the game, courtesy of Austin Cline and Joe Monte on the ground. The score would be 27-14 in the 4th, but Edison was far from done. Halfway through the 4th quarter, Edison would score on a 55 yard TD drive capped off by a Jacob Cusik TD catch. Edison them came up with a big 4th down stop in Wildcat territory with 1:45 left. They had life. After picking up 3 first down, the Wildcats went for the big one downfield, but Beaver Local made them pay in the form of a Joe Monte game sealing INT to give the Beavers their third straight victory of the season.

They will travel to Oak Glen next week for a Thursday night matchup against the Golden Bears.

/in /by

RICHMOND, OH – Not only did COVID take the baseball season away from the Edison Wildcats, it also took away a little excitement from the community that was looking forward to the season! Have no fear however because Edison baseball is back and better than ever! Head coach, Mike Collopy is returning for his 14th season at the command and his Wildcats are ready to get on the diamond.

Collopy has compiled a 255-94 record and is coming off a season (2019) where the Wildcats were district, OVAC, and Buckeye 8 runners up. Collopy will lean heavily upon his three seniors, Joe Booth, Blake Connelly, Jayden Sanders, to provide a lot of leadership this season while helping develop some of their younger teammates. The Wildcats are looking to the future though as the underclassmen/newcomers to the varsity team this year will be thrusted into the lineup come opening night. Coach Collopy and the Edison Wildcats will look to continue their previous success and traditions this season as their first game is scheduled for March 29th on the road at East Liverpool.

YSN’s own, BIlly McCartney and Quinn Puskar, were able to take a trip down to Richmond Edison to talk to Coach Collopy about this upcoming season, to get a feel for the hype and excitement for Wildcats baseball to be back, to see what his expectations are this season, as well as, some of the key players to look out for this season!
