EAST PALESTINE COACH’S CORNER WITH TONY FOSTER (EP 5)

East Palestine was the hard-luck loser in last week’s match-up with Southern, and look to bounce back on Homecoming against EOAC Rival-Leetonia.  It’s been quite the roller coaster thus far this season for Coach Foster and the Dogs.  Hope is still lingering though in East Palestine, with hopes that the Bulldogs can win out and make their case for Week 11.

This week we sit down with Coach and discuss the difficulties to keep focus, as well as how flag football and other versions of football may effect the varsity game in the years to come.

Sit back, and enjoy Episode 5 of East Palestine Coach’s Corner with Tony Foster.

WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?

A Student-Athlete’s senior year can be very defining for them if they allow it to be.  For East Palestine’s Noah Brown, he’s used the last 3 years as a springboard for his grand finale as a Bulldog.  Brown serves as one of the big run-stoppers on the Bulldog defense, and continues to be one of the top leaders for the brown and white.

Noah also serves as the Captain of the wrestling team, and has leaned on his experiences on the mat to take the steps necessary to help make splash plays in the 2018 campaign.

What’s Noah’s favorite food?  His biggest influence?  His favorite superhero?

Find out all that and more as our Dan Figley sits down with Noah for this week’s East Palestine Player Profile: WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU?

DETERMINATION IS RECIPE FOR COOK

After another obstacle faced last Friday against Southern Local, East Palestine finds themselves in unfamiliar territory.  One that has them in playoff mentality in week 7.

However, the good news for the Bulldogs is they continue to gain health along the way.  Especially in one of their key players, Colton Cook!

Cook suffered a broken collarbone earlier this year in a passing scrimmage that has held him out half the year, but Cook’s determination to get healthy, and get back on the field shows exactly the mentality the Dogs must have going into the final month of the regular season: one day at a time.

Our Tim Figley caught up with Colton Cook following practice, and gets inside the huddle for this week’s East Palestine Player Profile: DETERMINATION IS RECIPE FOR COOK

COLUMBIANA FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH BOB SPAITE (EP 5)

What a week it was for the Clippers!  A prime-time, OVERTIME thriller that ends up in a victory over the United Eagles in the Eagles Nest!  While entertaining as it can be, it can also play a part into the rest of the season with fatigue, injuries, and strategy.  Coach Spaite has the team recharged and ready to take on Toronto as close to 10% as they can be!

What does this week have in store for our Clippers?  Find out when YSN’s Mark Franken sits down for the fifth edition of Columbiana Coach’s Corner sponsored by Ben Hawkins Plumbing!

CLIPPER CAPTAIN LOOKS TO MAKE IMPACT FOR COLUMBIANA

Columbiana Senior Brandt Virden has been described as “The 125 Pound Brick Wall” and to some, it warrants a smile, but if you ask Virden- it’s a warning for his opposition.

The 5’4 Safety is coming off a shortened junior campaign with purpose, and style.  His teammates voted him a Co-Captain of this 2018 Clipper squad, and with that title comes major responsibility.

2018 has all the makings of a special year in Columbiana, and our Mark Franken caught up with Brandt for this week’s Cornerstone Trucks Columbiana Player Profile!

Can the Bulldogs build a winning streak on the shoulders of the undefeated Indians?  What’s the main focus on each side of the ball for the brown and white?  What’s Coach’s favorite vacation spot?

LOCKED ON BROCK

It isn’t often that a young man can step up and be a utility player on both sides of the football.  For East Palestine’s Brock Cheurco, it’s just another day at the office.

The Bulldog senior has been used in several different roles this year and has even switched jersey numbers to reflect the changes.  Brock started the season wearing 31, and has since flipped to a more traditional blocking number at 63.

The most impressive part of the diversity Cheurco shows doesn’t stop between the lines, as Brock is very successfully spread across his education as well.  A young man with a multitude of excellence with room for growth?  Look out!

Our Dan Figley caught up with Brock prior to the Wellsville game and gets inside the helmet, as we get to know the EP standout a bit better in this week’s Gorby’s East Palestine Player Profile: LOCKED ON BROCK!

LISBON FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH ALAN MIKOVICH (EP 5)

After a strong start for Lisbon, they’ve had a tough stretch.  The Devils will line up 2-3 to face the Leetonia and continue league play against EOAC foes this week in what will surely be a battle.  It’s been a weird week for many teams in the valley, but Lisbon looks to get things back on track in Week 6!

With the same winning mentality in place, can the Blue Devils return to state championship glory?  We’ll know first with Tyler Hoffman leading the way with all the pointed questions to Coach Mikovich.

WALKING THE WALK

There’s much confusion about the identity of the 2018 East Palestine Bulldog Football Team.  It’s been a roller coaster ride so far for Coach Foster and the Dogs thus far, and with eyes still firmly placed on the postseason, the gator closest to the boat is EOAC play and another conference title.

There’s one young man who stands on the front lines and is ready for the challenge of the back-half of this task.  He doesn’t do much in the way of trash talking, but he certainly backs up any talking with walking the walk.  Quite simply: East Palestine Senior, Cameron Walker has the work ethic that gets things done.  His blue-collar mentality of dedication and hard work will continue to help the Bulldogs right the ship, and sail toward continued success this year.

Our Tim Figley had the chance to sit down and talk the talk with a young man who continues to get it done every down.  YSN’s East Palestine Player Profile is Cameron Walker: WALKING THE WALK.
