GARRETTSVILLE OH- Like everyone expected, Warren JFK and Garfield found themselves in a back and forth affair. But no one could have guessed the dramatic way it would end. With just over 1 minute remaining in the game, and JFK trailing 21-14, Caleb Hadley capped off an impressive drive with a three yard touchdown pass to Ambrose Hoso. This set the score at 21-20, and set the stage for an extremely dramatic ending. Rather than going for the tie, JFK elected to go for the lead with a two point conversion. Hadley hit Thomas Valent on a jump pass to complete the conversion, and give the Eagles a 22-21 win.
Antonio Smith was a big reason why the Eagles won. He gained 134 years on 16 rushes and scored once. Hoso caught a pair of touchdowns through the air.
Keegan Sell was a force for the G-Men on the ground. He ran for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Carter Bates also ran for 80 yards and he found pay dirt once.
The Eagles will welcome in Sandusky Perkins to Warren in Week 4. Garfield starts play inside the MVAC with a road trip to LaBrae.

LIBERTY OH- The stars align once again for the Garfield Lady G-Men as they came into Liberty and took a commanding victory over the Lady Leopards. Garfield coming into this game had not surrendered a set in MVAC Grey play and that would not change here as they took down Liberty in just 3 sets and continued their great play on the season.
In set one of the night Garfield got out to a 4-0 start to the game and clung on to that lead until Liberty pushed back and tied things at 13 apiece. From there Garfield won the next point and this brought up their ace leader in Montana McGranahan to serve the ball. She was excellent as she collected point after point forcing Liberty to burn two timeouts enroute to a 23-13 lead before Garfield finally surrendered a point to the Leopards. A couple of points later and the Lady G-Men took home set one of the night 25-13.
Liberty would not allow another McGranahan serving run on the night but set two still belonged to Garfield as their height at the net proved to much for Liberty to handle. McGranahan, Gabby Barnard, Mandy Cardinal, and Hannah Kernig played excellent all night long and set two really showcased their talents as they continued to halt every momentum play by Liberty with a massive spike at the net. Lexi Muck did her best trying to block at the net, but with so much skill all around on the front line of Garfield she couldn’t be everywhere at once. Liberty fought hard in set two and some great plays were made from Mia Parker, Lexi Muck, Demi Watson, and Brianna Derenzis but a few mishaps stalled their run as they fell in set two 25-18.
Set three was a competitive battle as Liberty was showing their pride after starting the season with a perfect record at home and not wanting to give in to Garfield’s size mismatch. They fought hard and neither team ever had a run of more then four consecutive points and even these small runs were immediately answered by their opponent. Lexi Muck made some huge plays with both spikes and blocks. Garfield had one last push, and they took the lead late up 24-20 and a powerful hit from Liberty was sent beyond the back line to give the Garfield Lady G-Men their third set of the night.
Liberty’s home winning streak was snapped as they fall to (3-3) on the season and (1-3) in conference play dropping them into a three-way tie for fifth place of the MVAC Grey with Champion and Campbell Memorial. Garfield still has not given up a set since they lost their first game of the season as they now sit a (5-1) and (4-0) in MVAC Grey play which has them in a tie for first place with Crestview. Liberty will have the weekend off as they prepare to hit the road yet again this season as on Tuesday, they will travel to LaBrae to take on the Lady Vikings (3-1). Garfield will also take the weekend off as will play at home against the Newton Falls Tigers (1-4) on Tuesday.

CORTLAND, Ohio – In a rematch from week 2 of last season, the Lakeview Bulldogs (1-1) played host to the visiting Garfield G-Men (2-0).While last season the G-Men needed just four minutes to break the seal, tonight’s matchup in Cortland took twenty-three minutes and fifty-five seconds to see its first points of the night.
Outstanding defense from both Lakeview and Garfieldleft the teams to combine for an even one-hundred yards of first half offense. The only trip to the red zone for either team came from Garfield in the closing seconds of the half, which would be capped by a thirty-eight-yard field goal off the right foot of Ethan Bittence with five seconds before the break.
Coming out of the break Garfield head coach, Mike Moser, made a change to the offensive game plan that had mostly failed in the first half, giving the Bulldogs a heavy dose of running backs Jesse Grace and Keegan Sell. The new gameplan paid off quickly for the G-Men as their opening drive of the second half would chew up seven and a half minutes of the third quarter clock before Keegan Sell would put the exclamation point on the drive from two yards out.
Lakeview would go three and out to start their second half. Garfield would put together a solid drive before turning it over on fourth down in Lakeview territory. The Bulldogs would go three and out again, but would flip field position on a solid punt by Owen Vlk. After a holding call would set the G-Men back on first down, Garfield would be forced to punt the ball away. The ensuing punt would be blocked by junior Nolan Toth. The ball would roll into the endzone where Sam Balest would fall on it for the score, drawing the Bulldogs to within a possession.
Garfield would respond however with another long-sustained drive to put the game on icewith a twenty-six-yard touchdown run from Jesse Grace. The ensuing extra point was good, bringing the score to it’s final, 17-7 in favor of the G-Men.
Lakeview: On the heels of their tough loss, the Bulldogs will regroup for another Region 17 opponent, the Liberty Leopards (0-2). Since the start of the 21st century, the Leopards lead the series over the Bulldogs 13-8.
Garfield: After gutting out a victory on the road, the G-Men will return home next Friday nightfor a matchup with the Warren JFK Eagles (2-0). These two schools have faced off three years in a row, with Garfield coming out on top in each bout, with no game ending in more than two scores difference.

n what was the first Tuesday in The 2022 Fall sports season, plenty of volleyball games were on the slate and some seasons got underway Tuesday evening. For The Garrettsville Garfield Lady G-Men, they look to build off a great 2021 season into this year. Garrettsville has also returned a number of their stat leaders from a season ago, their first conference opponent of the season? The LaBrae Vikings, a 15-10 volleyball team last year that pushed Garfield to five sets in both regular season meetings in 2021.
LaBrae lost a few of their top contributors; however, they return The Junior Triple-Double Threat in Rylee McDonough, who a season ago recorded 200+ Kills, Digs and Assists in 2021. On the other side, Garfield returned a pair of players with 200+ Kills in last year’s campaign in Montana McGranahan (278) and Gabby Barnard (279). Pair that with The Lady G-Men’s setter in Madeline Shirkey, who is always present in multiple areas of the box score.
It was that trio from Garfield that served as the biggest impact in their first matchup with The Vikings this season. Barnard, Shirkey and McGranahan all recorded double-doubles to open up the conference play. A competitive first set that fell the way of Garrettsville allowed them to take that momentum into a match victory of LaBrae in straight sets Tuesday night. Pushing The Lady G-Men to 2-1 on the year, while The Vikings drop to 0-1. Both teams are on the road Thursday, August 25th, as Garfield will be at Campbell and Labrae at Newton Falls to continue conference
NEW MIDDLETOWN OH- Springfield rallied from 5-0 deficit and pulled out a 7-5 win over Garfield.
The tigers scored 5 runs in the 5th. Haleigh McCalla, Bri Holt, Sami McKim drove in runs and Gabby Nalevanko delivered the go ahead 2 run single. Madi Lesnak and Rachel Malatok each drove in runs. Holt had 3 hits, Piccuta and McCalla had 2 hits.

GARRETTSVILLE OH- To say the Garrettsville Garfield Baseball had rode the roller coaster in the beginning of the season. Experiencing back-to-back conference wins, highlighted by a no-hitter, capped off by massive run production that led Garfield to two consecutive wins over Liberty. Garfield also experienced their lows, with consecutive losses by a Champion team that was there to let some frustrations loose.
However, like Garfield always does, they find ways to bounce back and do it with force! Handing Crestview their first loss of the season, and only conference loss on the year, back on April 26th. Competing in The Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference (MVAC) Gray tier has sharpened The G-Men’s teeth
