CROYLE COMMANDS THE CIRCLE

/in /by

HUBBARD OH- Hubbard senior Haley Croyle has been owning the pitcher’s circle for the Eagles for some time now. Her opponents are probably tired of looking across the field at her, and her teammates are trying to cherish every second they have with her during her senior season.  She has stepped into a big leadership this year as a senior, and has the Eagles poised to make some noise.

Croyle is officially going to play softball at the next level for Akron. There aren’t too many division 1 caliber pitchers in the area, so Hubbard is pretty blessed to have one commanding their circle. Croyle’s biggest strength that separates her from most is the movement she puts on her pitches. Anybody can time up a straight pitch, but when it starts to move, that’s what makes it difficult.

Joined by her fellow seniors, Haley will be taking in all she can this year. With her decision officially made about college there’s no pressure about any kind of recruiting process, her focus can be solely on making her team the best it can be. And the best the Eagles can be is pretty dang good.

Haley took the time to come on to YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about her senior season. She talks with Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell about the team goals this season, her softball journey, and much more. Don’t miss the first Hubbard softball player profile of the season!

HUBBARD STUDENT, SCHOOL BUILDING FEATURED IN MARCH MADNESS PROMO

/in /by

HUBBARD, OH — The NCAA basketball tournament kicks off this weekend with Selection Sunday. As millions of people tune in to watch March Madness over the next couple of weeks, they’ll see Hubbard Schools featured in a Werner Ladder NCAA basketball commercial. Werner Ladder is the official ladder of March Madness. 

Hubbard High School senior Kaden Lowe along with another student-athlete from Struthers are featured in the Werner Ladder Company’s NCAA basketball commercial that was filmed inside the gymnasium at Hubbard Middle School. A couple of months ago, the district’s athletic department was contacted about using the school’s facilities as a backdrop for the commercial. Cinemanix, the local production company that filmed the commercial, selected the student-athletes. 

“It is so great to see Kaden and our middle school be showcased this March Madness season. We want to thank Werner Ladder Company and Cinemanix for giving us the opportunity to appear in the commercial and for their donation to our athletic department,” said athletic director Kevin Hogue. 

YSN MADDENBOWL: HUBBARD VS. SOUTH RANGE

/in /by

EAST PALESTINE, OH- On a snowy night in February, the weather shut down all athletic events and put YSN at a standstill.

That was until we decided to pair up athletes in our area to compete against each other in Madden ’22 and talk about their journeys, their teams, coaches, and maybe a little trash along the way.

Hubbard’s Nick Bowser picked up the sticks against South Range’s JD Crouse for a little 1v1 with a moderator along the way.

YSN’s DJ Yokley reffed the battle of the NE8 rivals, as they took to the gridiron with a random draw, and then battled Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland for bragging rights.

Check out the inaugural episode of our e-Sports programming in the YSN Maddenbowl: Hubbard vs. South Range

GIRARD’S STRONG DEFENSE LEADS TO VICTORY

/in /by


HUBBARD, Ohio –

Since 2006, the Hubbard Eagles (2-16) and Girard Indians (10-6) have matched up a total of twenty-one times, with Girard holding the series edge 11-10. While Hubbard dominated the early series matchups, Girard has since won nine of the last eleven.

Throughout those twenty-one faceoffs, five saw the game end within a single possession, and the early part of the ballgame looked like these two NE8 foes were heading down that road again. A back-and-forth first quarter of play ended with the Eagles ahead 15-13. Unfortunately for Hubbard, that fifteen-point effort was the highest point total they’d produce in a single quarter, while Girard was just getting started.

Dominating both on the glass and defensively, Girard heavily outrebounded Hubbard. Crashing the boards offensively provided the Indians with plenty of easy looks from the inside, while their rebounding efforts on the opposite end helped hold Hubbard to just five second quarter points.

Coming out of the break trailing by five, the Hubbard Eagles needed their senior star, Riley Heckert, to produce. Heckert would do so early, knocking down an opener jumper to draw Hubbard within just one, and adding on a pullup jumper late from around the elbow to leave the blue and white trailing by just three with a quarter to go.

Much as they have all season, Hubbard staggered throughout the final stanza. Turnovers and poor defense led to easy Girard looks for the Indians to put the game out of reach. Gus Johnson and Bobby Alejears would lead the way for Girard in the fourth, combining for twelve of the Indians sixteen points to give the Indians the win, 48-36.

HUBBARD:

Riley Heckert – 17 points

Brody Snyder – 11 points

GIRARD:

Gus Johnson – 14 points

Bobby Alejears – 9 points

Thomas Cardiero – 8 points

Hubbard – Falling to 2-9 in the conference, the Eagles will regroup and look to complete the season sweep of the South Range Raiders (4-13). Both teams will head into the matchup off of a loss.

Girard – Securing a double-digit win total for the first time since the 2018-2019 season, the Girard Indians will head into Friday nights home matchup against the Poland Bulldogs (12-5), looking for revenge. These two programs last faced off January 7th in a game that the Bulldogs would win 63-53.

POLAND WINS PHYSICAL BOUT WITH EAGLES

/in /by

POLAND OH- Ond thing everyone knows about Bubbard girls basketball, they are physical. They certainly aren’t afraid of contact. That attitude gives a lot of teams problems, and it’s a big reason the Eagles came into Monday nights game 6-4. Poland was up for the task though as they handled a physical battle and came out 58-30 victors.

The Bulldogs were led by Connie Cougras who scored 15 points. Katie McDonald worked hard to get herself in double figures with 10 points. Poland had 10 players score at least 2 points. Abby Farber contributed 7.

Hubbard was paced by Sophie Murphy who put in 7 points. Gabriella Jones, and Mary Frangos each were able to add 6.

Poland stays at Thursday to host Niles. Hubbard will try to stay above .500 with a matchup at Struthers on Thursday.
