SCHIAVI TAKES THEM TO SCHOOL

/in /by

NORTH JACKSON OH- Everyone came in to the 2022 football season knowing the caliber of quarterbacks that were featured in the area. The Mahoning Valley features maybe the most returning stars under center than we’ve ever seen. Little did we know that Jackson Milton had one waiting in the wings. In Week 1 Jackson Milton’s Alex Schiavi introduced himself with a monster 7 touchdown game.  He has taken the reigns of the quarterback position inside a conference that already features a ton of talent. Schiavi holds his own that is for sure. He has managed to quickly gain the respect of the locker room, and become an incredible leader on the field.  He almost acts as a second coach. He is someone who can definitely be trusted to get his teammates in the right positions. That is why Jackson Milton is on the cusp of one of their best season’s in program history. Through 8 weeks the Jays sit at 6-2.

Schiavi doesn’t care much for personal numbers, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t putting up some seriously impressive ones. Through 8 games Schiavi is 125/186 through the air. That is a completion percentage of 67%.  He has thrown for 1471 yards.  He has a solid touchdown to interception ratio as well with 21 scores and only 6 INT.

Schiavi took the time this week to hop on YSN’s Running Point to talk about his fantastic season.  He talks with Richie Juliano, DJ Yokley, and Anthony Hartwig about his role on the team, his mindset on game days, and much more. Check out the latest Jackson Milton Football Player Profile on YSN!

POLAR BEARS PUT THE FREEZE ON BOARDMAN

/in /by

BOARDMAN OH-

Boardman (1-2) fell behind early and was unable to rebound dropping a 43-14 decision to the Jackson Polar Bears (2-1) on Friday night.

The Polar Bears would score on its opening possession and then score two more times following Spartan turnovers to take a 19-0 lead 7 minutes into the first quarter.  The Spartans would respond, however, with a nice drive and to yard touchdown run by Tomas Andujar to cut the lead to 19-7.

Unfortunately, that was not enough for Boardman as Jackson went on to score the next 24 points before the Spartans were able to respond with a Willy Torres five yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to give Boardman 14 for the day.

Defensively, Tequan Bailey recorded his first career interception picking on a pass in the fourth quarter for Boardman.

The Spartans will look to rebound next week with a trip to Howland Friday September 9th.  Kickoff is scheduled for 7 PM.

Standing in their way of a trip to the district championship was the Polar Bears of Massillon Jackson. Two big Polar Bear runs weee the difference as Jackson knocked out the Tigers with a 64-30 win.

The first Polar Bear run came in the first quarter, and leaked into the second. After the game started back and forth, the Polar Bears turned a 7-6 lead into a 19-6 one in the blink of an eye. The Tigers responded by winning the second quarter overall 13-10 and taking a 29-19 deficit into the locker room.

The Tigers came out of the locker room and scored quick to make it a 29-21 game. That however would be their only points from the floor in the frame as the Polar Bears won the third 30-3 and pretty much put the game away.
