TESTIFY ABOUT GREAT DEFENSE

ASHTABULA OH- In the world of volleyball, the libero position is often synonymous with defense, and at Lakeside High School, Tess Collins has epitomized what it means to be a defensive leader. As a senior libero for the Lakeside Dragons, Tess has not only embraced this vital role but has excelled in it, earning a reputation as one of the best leaders her team has ever seen.

Tess’s journey as a libero began with a genuine love for the position. She understood that, as the last line of defense, her role was crucial in keeping her team’s hopes alive. Over the years, this affection for the libero position has grown into a deep passion and dedication that defines her on the court.

Tess’s statistics over the years only confirm what her teammates and fans already know—she’s an exceptional talent on the volleyball court. In 2022, she finished the season as the second-highest digger on her team, amassing a remarkable 332 digs with an astonishingly low error rate of just two digging errors throughout the season. Her average of 3.8 digs per set highlighted her consistency in the role.

But Tess isn’t just about defense. She’s a well-rounded player who contributes across the board. In 2022, she notched 53 service aces, showcasing her ability to contribute to both ends of the game. Her 69 assists demonstrated her versatility, and she led the team in serve receives with an impressive 473.

The 2023 season is proving to be another remarkable chapter in Tess’s career. Through eight matches, she’s already amassed 98 digs, averaging an impressive 4.7 per set. Remarkably, she has yet to make a single digging error. Her 161 serve receives are a testament to her reliability, with only 14 serve receive errors on her record. Tess has also contributed 13 aces, showing that she’s continually elevating her game.

Tess attributes much of her success to her mom, who has provided her with unwavering support and guidance throughout her volleyball journey. Beyond volleyball, Tess has set her sights on a future career as a nurse, aspiring to follow in her mother’s footsteps. While Tess remains undecided about whether college volleyball will be a part of her journey, one thing is clear: her dedication, leadership, and exceptional skills on the court will continue to leave a lasting legacy at Lakeside High School.

Tess sat down with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig to talk about her career at Lakeside. They discuss how much she’s put into the sport, her future plans, and much more. Check out the latest Lakeside Volleyball Player Profile only on YSN!

IRISH HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SLAY DRAGONS

YOUNGSTOWN OH-Ursuline rolled past Lakeside Friday night 50-0, in what was a quick contest at Stambaugh Stadium.

​Dan Reardon always seems to have some tricks up his sleeve, and tonight he pulled one out on the opening kickoff.

​Kicker Brandon Tabak cued a perfect onside kick that left the Dragons in a helpless scramble on what would be a successful Irish attempt.

​With the ball at midfield for Ursuline, runs by D.C. Ferrell, Jack Ericson, and Christian Lynch led to the Irish getting out to an 8-0 lead after the drive was capped by a 2-yard run from Lynch.

Ericson tossed a touchdown while getting it done with both his arm and legs in the win.

​The ensuing Lakeside possession resulted in Dragon quarterback Alex DiSalvatore fumbling inside his own 10, then watching the reigning Mahoning County Defensive Player of the Year, Ty’Req Donlow scoop the ball up and double the Irish lead.

​Reardon’s squad had it going all night long, and while it’s hard to pinpoint one player in this loaded Ursuline offense, Lynch put his speed and strength on display tonight with well over 100 yards on the ground to go with three scores. The Princeton commit had touchdown runs of 69 and 25 in addition to his first one.

​The stout Irish offense is nothing to scoff at, but neither are the other “two phases” for them. Their defense pitched the shutout, while forcing three turnovers, and the special teams not only had some early game magic but got a touchdown of their own on a 72-yard Ferrell punt return that resulted in six.

​It was a good night to be an Ursuline fan, as the game was under two hours, the second stringers gained valuable playing time, and a pretty 50-0 hung on the scoreboard as the Irish fight song rung through the night, and all the way back to Wick Avenue.

​Ursuline (3-0) will travel to Rayen Stadium next Friday, September 8, for a Steel Valley Conference clash with East (1-2) in the conference opener. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m.
