Coach Stokes joined YSN’s Running Point this week right after practice live from Wellsville’s gym to talk about the upcoming season. He spoke to Ty Bartell, and Anthony Hartwig about the returning stars, filling some of the gaps last year’s seniors left, and so much more.

FOLLOW THE LESSON PLAN

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- They say “don’t wish your life away” when you’re young.  For East Liverpool Junior Kyia White, she’s been doing less of the wishing, and more turning dreams into reality.

The Potter Middle Hitter has certainly made waves in the early going of her career but is now cashing in on opportunities that many only could fantasize about- including a national championship this past summer in Indianapolis with her Junior Olympic team.

Make no mistake, though.  White has her eyes set on a conference crown as well as a big run in the playoffs alongside her teammates in 2022.  Now in her third year, leadership will be one of the tasks White must grab ahold of and show even more growth.

We caught up with Kyia to discuss all the events of the summer as well as the expectations she and her teammates have for this fall on this edition of East Liverpool Player Profile: Follow the Lesson Plan.

CRESTVIEW FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH PAUL CUSICK

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- For nearly a quarter century, Paul Cusick has been the chief of his tribe on the sidelines.  In Crestview, it’s well understood the history, the commitment, and the reward for the dedication to the program year in and year out.

It’s more than X’s and O’s, it’s about the family, and how to conduct yourself when you’re representing someone or something.

Entering his 24th year, Coach “Q” is still making tweaks and adjustments to not only make better football players- but better young men.  This year will be no different with 16 returning lettermen from 2021, Cusick and his staff will be tasked with finding a path to the playoffs for the third consecutive season.

For the sixth straight year, Coach Cusick allowed YSN to chat it up with him prior to gameday for a series we call: Crestview Coach’s Corner with Paul Cusick.
