According to the OHSAA proposal, schools are able to add games to their schedule if they are eliminated from the playoffs, or choose not to participate.  The maximum would be 10 games, excluding postseason.

 

UNITED SOFTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EPISODE 1 WITH SAM MATHIAS)

HANOVERTON OH- The United softball team definitely took their lumps last season. The 3 win season was not the outcome anybody wanted. But it did give the Head Coach Sam Mathias and his Eagles plenty of chances to put young kids in big situations. The growth has led to some great things for the program this season. They came in fully expecting to compete in the EOAC. With the breakout of COVID-19, those aspirations for the 2020 season are in jeopardy. The uncertainty will not stop this Eagles squad from being prepared to go if they get the green light to be back on the field.

Anthony Hartwig has the chance to talk with Coach Mathias. They discuss the COVID-19 situation, what makes United so special to him, and much more. Hear all about Eagles Softball in Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Sam Mathias.

YSN LEGENDS OF THE PAST: AARON WALKER

Arguably one of the most successful baseball players to emerge from Columbiana County, Ohio was the 6’3 South Paw from East Palestine, Aaron Walker.  His high school numbers as a Bulldog were eye-popping with being a 3-time Tri-County All-Star, First-Team All Ohio in 2000 (15-1 record) and if all of that wasn’t enough, earning a Division 1 scholarship to join the Georgia Tech Baseball Team.

All of that aside, Walker was able to live out his dreams of being selected in the 30th round of the 2004 MLB draft by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

When all was said and done, AW decided it was time to give back to the game he loved by taking up coaching.  Walker began with his high school rival, Columbiana Clippers, before returning to the Brown and White where he is still today.  Walker and his father, Doug, are assistant coaches for the Bulldogs- and enjoy not only working with the student-athletes but working alongside each other.

We caught up with the lefty for our latest edition of YSN Legends of the Past: Aaron Walker.

LATE TROJAN RUN ENDS BLUE DEVILS SEASON

SEBRING, OH – The Lisbon Blue Devils boys basketball team came into Friday night’s game at Sebring McKinley in familiar territory. Just a year ago, the Blue Devils embarked on the same journey to Sebring to try to win a sectional championship and move onto the Struthers Fieldhouse for a district semifinal match up, that team ended up losing to Sebring. This year, the Blue Devils knew it was a chance at redemption and a chance to once again win a sectional title and move on to the district semis.

From the opening tip, the two squads seemed to be even, with both teams trading buckets and neither breaking free from the other. The Blue Devils took a 14-13 lead into the second quarter, behind Michael Davis’ shooting. The halftime score saw Lisbon maintain their lead by just one point, 26-25. The third quarter was much of the same as the two teams duked it out looking for any edge they could get, as the score remained a one point game going to the fourth, 35-34. The final quarter however, saw the Blue Devils begin to run out of gas as the Trojans kept executing and kept the tempo in their favor, as they would go on a 19-9 run, ending the Lisbon Blue Devils season once again, by a score of 53-44.

The Sebring Trojans were led by Dylan Johnson with 12 points, Jake Hunter with 11 points, and Gabe Lanzer with 10 points.

The Lisbon Blue Devils were led by Michael Davis with 20 points and Blayne Brownfield with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Ryan McCullough added in 4 points and 7 assists.
