MINERAL RIDGE MAKES STATEMENT ON THE ROAD

/in /by

NORTH JACKSON, OH- The battle of the 5-1 teams between Mineral Ridge and Jackson-Milton looked to be a must-watch matchup coming into week 7. But the Rams had other ideas. The game was scoreless after the first, but Ridge’s Ian Erb changed the direction of the game by punching in two touchdowns on the ground to help the Rams go up 14-0. The BlueJays found some source of life with a Alex Schiavi to Ashton Green 77-yard passing touchdown to cut Ridge’s lead to 14-7. After that resurgence by Jackson-Milton, The Rams would control the rest of the play on both sides of the ball with steady offense and forceful defense to lead them to a demanding 42-7 victory over the BlueJays.  

Erb led the way for Mineral Ridge with 3 rushing touchdowns on the night

Looking forward, Jackson-Milton will move to 5-2 and will travel to Waterloo to take on the Vikings. Mineral Ridge moves to 6-1 on the season as they will travel to Sebring to take on the Trojans.

FULTZ ISN’T HARD TO FIND

/in /by

NORTH JACKSON OH- Some players stick out on the court or field every time they lace up. Whether it’s because of a unique pick in shoes, a bright headband, or just how they play, none of the fans have to try hard to spot them once the game starts. For Jackson Milton volleyball that player is Emily Fultz.  Fultz’s effort and ability to pop up anywhere on the floor make her just about the easiest player to find.  You’ll never see Emily give up on a play. Even if she’s on the other side of the court, you can bet she’s giving the ball a look, and making sure that if she doesn’t get to it, it’s not because of lack of effort. This ability to never give up also makes Fultz an incredible leader for the youth of the team. The back row defense of the Blue Jays relied on youth, and they get to see serious tenacity everyday to set the standard for the program.

Emily took the time to appear on YSN’s Running Point to help us get a glimpse inside her athletic career. She talks to Anthony Hartwig and DJ Yokley about her ability to get any ball on the floor, what makes her work so hard, and so much more. You will not want to miss this Jackson Milton Volleyball Preview only on YSN.
