JAYS KEEP THE PARTY GOING

NORTH JACKSON OH- Last season the Blue Jays only had two wins, but in 20222, they have rebounded winning their first three games of the season as coach Nathan Brode and the Jackson Milton Blue Jays hosted the LaBrae Vikings Friday night.  

 

Both teams were scoreless in the first quarter but the blue jays would be on the move.  Star quarterback Alex Schiavi threw a screen pass making it 7-0.  Later on a little trickery as Schiavi pitched it behind his back to Owen McDevitt who found Aidan Stanke wide open for a touchdown making it 14-0 going into the half. 

 

Milton would just keep on running up the score in the second half as Joey Zayas took it in for a 15-yard touchdown, now up 21-0.  Schiavi’s final two touchdowns was him doing an old style drop back on the goaline, finding Stanke in the back of the endzone and him taking it himself making the final 34-0.  The Vikings of LaBrae had four chances in the Redzone in the first half, but were stopped by Cayden Mitchell and the talented defense of Jackson Milton. 

 

LaBrae (0-3) has now lost their first three games since 2012 and will host Mahoning Valley Grey Tier conference Garretsville Garfield (2-1) who lost by one point to Warren JFK (22-21) next week.  Jackson Milton (3-0) will travel to Berlin Center Ohio to take on a Mahoning Valley Scarlet Division rival Western Reserve (1-2) 7pm Friday. 

 

After the game, Ian O’Brien caught up with head coach Nathan Brode on the big win and what to expect for next week’s game.

GARFIELD HOLDS BACK VIKINGS

GARRETTSVILLE OH-

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 

play.
