BOARDMAN OH- The YSN Mania Bracket has been narrowed down to eight. The legends that made these teams great live on their school’s legacies forever. Join us as we shed a light on the legends of the past that made these teams great. Our next legend is Marissa Bartholomew Davies of the 2001 Boardman Softball team.

Davies was the ace of the 2001 State Championship Spartans, not to mention the 2000 runner up team. The sole Senior starter on the squad Marissa led the Spartans to a 30-3 record.
