MCCOY MAGIC KEEPS GARFIELD UNDEFEATED

/in /by

Day two of the fifth annual South Range Holiday Hoops Classic saw a rematch between The Garrettsville Garfield Lady G-Men and The Nordonia Knights from a year ago. What turned out to be a turning point for The G-Men last season, had a completely different feel this time around. With Garrettsville protecting their perfect 8-0 season record in their quest to a conference crown in The Gray Division of The  Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference (MVAC) and perhaps a repeat as district champions. 

In this go around with The Knights, Garfield found success with guard Laura McCoy finding her shot from all over the floor to help lead her team in scoring throughout the first half. Utilizing multiple scorers as well in the passing game, McCoy was able to get her teammates involved to create the machine that is The G-Men offense, while also scoring 15 first half points herself. Madeline Shirkey complimented them with a fancy, finesse layup to end the half and put Garfield up 30-14 at halftime!

While Jensen Stehlik for Nordonia was an and-one machine for the nights, adding multiple three point plays, as well as the ever-rare four point play as she tried to will he team back into the game. Finishing with 22 points on the day, Stehlik certainly did her job and more for The Knights. 

By the start of the second half, Garfield ensured that they corrected the mistakes of Wednesday’s contest against Mooney, in that they kept their foot on the gas through halves. Scoring at will with some phenomenal ball-distribution throughout the contest, The G-Men were able to open up looks through their passing game. Laura McCoy continued her scoring dominance, finishing with 32 of her team’s 66 points at the end of the day to cap-off the win for Garfield 66-44 in her Player of The Game Performance! 

The loss for The Knights sent them to 3-10 on the campaign, while Garretsville stayed a perfect 2-0 in The Holiday Hoops Classic and 9-0 on the season! Garfield will now look to Monday, January 2nd where they will get back to conference play, as they host The Newton Falls Tigers. 

Interviews with both Head Coach Aaron Gilbert and Player of The Game Laura McCoy can be found below!

GARFIELD KEEPS PACE IN THE MVAC

/in /by

WARREN OH-

Following back-to-back losses to Crestview and a heartbreaker to Berkshire, The Garrettsville Garfield Lady G-Men have now won 9 of their last 10 sets, all of which have come in their conference. There is no doubt that as long as The Crestview Lady Rebels are in The Mahoning Valley Athletic Conference’s (MVAC) Gray Tier, they will be the team to beat. 

However, The Lady G-Men are the same team that came in second place last year with a chance at first. This season is much of the same, with Garfield’s hopes of a conference championship still alive. Speaking of champions, Garretsville had to make the conference trip out to Warren, Ohio on Thursday to face The Flashes.

The previous meeting between Garfield and Champion went to The Lady G-Men, but not without a tough fight from The Flashes. However, this time around Garfield made very few mistakes throughout the night. With an incredible team hitting percentage of .576, Garfield left little on the table in way of offense. Taking Set 1 by a convincing 9 points, Garretsville set the tone early on. 

Despite the scrappiness and fight The Flashes brought, The Lady G-Men took the succeeding two sets by 5 points in Set 2 and 6 points in Set 3 respectively. Madeline Shirkey, coming off her 1500th career assist, added 30 more in Garfield’s straight set win over Champion. 

Champion (6-8), looking to get back on their feet, will face off with Waterloo (3-8) when they travel to Atwater on Monday, September 26th. Garrettsville (10-4) will now entertain Streetsboro (6-9) on Saturday, September 24th when they welcome in The Rockets!

EAGLES LATE GAME GAMBLE REWARDED

/in /by

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.

RAIDERS BLAST THEIR WAY THROUGH GARFIELD

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- It was a beautiful day to open up the 2021 softball season on Saturday afternoon as South Range threw out the first pitch of the season with an 11-0 win over Garfield in 5.

Garfield got action started quickly as they managed to load the bases with two outs in the top of the first. Putting Raiders senior ace Bree Kohler in some pressure situations early. However, Kohler was up to the task and stranded the runners where they were at.

After holding Garfield off the scoreboard, the Raiders offense got to work in a hurry. Reagan Irons got the party started, as she launched a lead off home run to left field. Madison Dado would not be outdone though as she followed up Irons’ hone run with one of her own. The Raiders went back to back and were up 2-0 before the lady G-Men could blink. Kohler narrowly missed a third home run in a row with a deep fly out to center. The Raiders would go on to hit two more home runs as the game went on.

Madison Dado had a perfect day at the plate going 3-3 with 3 runs scored. She hit a HR and had a RBI. Juli Stachowicz went 1-3 with a HR and 2 RBI. Kelly Szolek went 1-1 with a HR and a RBI.

Kohler threw all 5 innings in the circle for the Raiders collecting the win. Her final line was 5.0 IP 3 H 0 ER 8 K 1 BB.

Elizabeth Moore took the loss for Garfield. She threw 3.0 IP gave up 11 hits and got hit with 5 ER.

The Raiders will open NE8 play on Monday as they travel to Niles.
