CLASH OF THE TITUS
CANFIELD, OH- It was a Friday night to remember at Spartan Stadium as South Range’s freshman sensation, Tommy Titus, delivered a moment that will be etched in the region’s high school football lore for years to come. The young wide receiver, donning the number 88 jersey, made an incredible touchdown catch that electrified the crowd and solidified his place in South Range history.
During the South Range Raiders show at GIAngelo’s in Boardman, Titus recounted the exhilarating moment. “It felt pretty good, honestly, it was an amazing feeling,” he shared with host DJ Yokley. “I celebrated with more than two of my teammates on the sideline,” Titus added, underscoring the camaraderie within the team.
The catch, which DJ Yokley described as a play where “you blew the roof off Spartan Stadium,” saw Titus calmly securing the ball amidst roaring cheers, much like a scene in slow motion. The play didn’t just stun the crowd; it also immediately caught the attention of Titus’s father, who eagerly requested the game tape, marking the catch as a family milestone.
As a freshman, Titus’s performance has been nothing short of remarkable. Host DJ Yokley praised the young athlete for his composure and skill, noting that such an achievement places Titus and his teammate Tristan into an everlasting timeline in South Range’s storied football program. Reflecting on his journey from middle school to varsity football, Titus acknowledged the challenging transition, citing the increased speed, strength of opponents, and complexity of plays. “All my teammates and Coaches helped me,” he remarked, displaying humility despite his standout success.
Beyond football, Titus showcases versatility as a three-sport athlete, playing point guard on the basketball court and shortstop on the baseball diamond. When asked about his ambitions at South Range, Titus modestly expressed hopes for repeated state success and a continued tradition of winning.
Titus’s grounded persona, highlighted by his acknowledgment of his family’s unwavering support, paints a picture of a young athlete destined for greatness. South Range’s future looks bright with Tommy Titus stepping up, not just as a player to watch but as a symbol of hope and inspiration for the Raiders.
As Yokley aptly summarized, Tommy Titus doesn’t need many words; his actions on the field speak volumes. The South Range community, no doubt, will be eagerly watching as this young star continues to rise.
