CAMPBELL MM MM GOOD

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, OH- It has been one of the best seasons in high school football for the Ursuline Irish who are right now just a game away from making it to the State-SemiFinals with everything on the line, and one player has helped them the last few weeks to do that.  That player would be senior tight end and defensive end Luke Campbell.  

 

Now, Campbell was out for the first few games of the season with injuries, but since his return, he may have been quiet, but also dangerous, racking up 20.5 tackles, and 3.5 sacks like he’s channeling his inner JJ Watt.  On the receiving side, it may not be much but he plays a big impact when it comes to blocking and last week, he got his first touchdown pass with a reception from Matthew Reardon.  With this skill that Campbell has on both sides of the ball, do not be surprised if schools have and will be looking at him. 

 

On this episode of the YSN Ursuline Player Profile playoff edition, Ian O’Brien catches up on zoom with Luke Campbell who talks a bit about his background, the position he plays, the win against Poland last week and how he has helped the team these last few weeks, COVID capacity, someone he idolizes and many more.  

 

The sixth seed Ursuline Fighting Irish (7-2) will take on the 12th seed Mentor Lake Catholic Cougars (8-2) Saturday at 7pm on YSN Live.  You can buy the game on the website for just $9.99.  We will see what happens as this Irish team still remembers about last season and are looking for their revenge as the high school football season is coming to a close.

IRISH A CLASS ABOVE POLAND

/in /by

POLAND OH- The Ursuline Irish took on the number two seed and the Poland Bulldogs Saturday night for the regional semifinal.

The Bulldogs came out red hot, with an interception on the first drive from Christian Colosimo, and then a QB keeper from Jack Fulton to give the Bulldogs a quick 7-0 lead. Ursuline would get on the board, as Senior running back Dante Walker would answer later in the first, as he ran in a touchdown to tie the ballgame.

The second quarter was all Irish, as Ursuline would put up 21 points, to go into halftime leading 28-7. Luke Campbell had a strip sack for a touchdown to start the scoring streak. DeMarcus McElroy punched in a 22 yard touchdown, and then Waker had his second touchdown run of the night, to give the Irish all the momentum heading into the locker at half.

The Irish would get another touchdown in the second half from DeMarcus McElroy, and would cling on to a 35-7 victory. The Irish scored 35 unanswered points, and the defense would hold the Bulldogs all night long to just 7 points.

Ursuline advances to the regional final next Saturday, as they will host 12 seed Mentor Lake Catholic. Ursuline looks to pick up their 10th program regional tittle next Saturday at Stambaugh Stadium.
