CRESTVIEW FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH PAUL CUSICK (EP 2)

With a physical matchup with the Struthers Wildcats in their rearview, Coach Q and the Rebels must turn their attention to their local rival- The South Range Raiders!

The Rebs are looking for revenge after being handed losses on two occasions last season, including the loss that ended their 2017 campaign.

Is revenge in store?  Will the physicality of the previous two games play a part in this week’s outcome?

Find out all that and more in Episode 2 of Crestview Coach’s Corner with Paul Cusick PROUDLY presented by NDC Heating and Cooling!

THE U.S.S. HARROLD SAILING IN SOUTH RANGE

If you Google the U.S.S. Harold, you will find a ship listed as an E-Class destroyer escort that was constructed for the U.S. Navy during WWII.  *If you Google U.S.S. Harrold in South Range, you will find a sturdy, powerful Class A defense destroyer that suits up in burgundy and gold every Friday night for the Raiders.

The difference in the two stories is one of these destroyers was decommissioned after 2 years, the other is in year four of deflating opposing defenses for touchdowns regularly.

One earned 2 battle stars in one war, the other scored 3 touchdowns in one night.

No matter the way you slice it, South Range’s Trent Harrold is built for war.  When opposing coaches watch the film, and they see the gold 36 jersey breaking tackles as if he’s running through ghosts, they know they’re in for a long night.

We had the chance to catch up with Trent before practice, and discuss many topics that include the main differences from last year to this one, and what characteristic he hopes to leave with his underclassman!

GOTTA GO WITH NIKO

It’s common knowledge that when High School football players talk to coaching staffs, they profess their love for either offense, or defense.  Typically it will show on Friday nights as well, because the player will shine on one side of the ball.

For Salem Junior Niko Walter, he extinguished the East Palestine offense in Week 1 with two interceptions, as well as kept the Bulldog defense guessing with 2 carries out of the backfield for 15 yards, 4 catches for 92 yards and a TD…..Oh, and he threw for a score as well.

All in a day’s work for Niko.
