NATE LEWIS AND THE NEWS

/in /by

CANFIELD, OH- Under the bright lights of South Range football, few athletes have risen to prominence as swiftly and impressively as number 14, Nate Lewis.
Emerging as a dynamic player this season, Lewis’s journey has been far from straightforward. After being sidelined by an early-season injury last year, Lewis faced the challenging task of constant rehabilitation. “It was really hard just going to practice every day and not being able to do anything,” he revealed. However, perseverance paid off as, during the last three games, Lewis became a pivotal figure for the Raiders, proving his mettle on the field.

Host DJ Yokley describes Lewis as “an absolute weapon,” noting his unmatched speed and agility. Not surprisingly, Lewis attributes his swiftness to his track background, where he competes in events like the 4×1 and the 4×2. While he admits he didn’t fully enjoy track, it undeniably honed his speed and endurance.

Lewis’s on-field chemistry with teammate Tristan is particularly noteworthy. Yokley likens their connection to that of NFL legends Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, citing an almost telepathic ability to locate each other during gameplay.

Off the field, Lewis is a typical teenager. He enjoys video games, with Minecraft and the new NCAA football game being among his favorites. He also aspires to be remembered for his hard work and dedication, traits instilled in him by his family. “Definitely my parents and my grandparents,” Lewis acknowledges, emphasizing the support and values they have imparted.

When asked about his future ambitions, Lewis remains uncertain, but his current focus is clear: to continue excelling both in sports and academics, where his favorite subject is math.

As a student-athlete, Lewis exemplifies the values of hard work, humility, and perseverance. His story is not just about athletic success but also about character and determination. South Range and the broader community have a lot to look forward to from this rising star.

CANFIELD, OH- South Range Raiders’ versatile player Michael Chadbourne, often referred to by his team as “Chaz,” shared his inspiring journey on this week’s episode of the YSN podcast hosted by DJ Yokley. In an intimate player profile segment, Chadbourne’s adaptability and dedication to his team were central themes, showcasing what he termed as the “selflessness” that defines the South Range football squad.

In a conversation filled with lighthearted moments and personal anecdotes, Chadbourne, who started his high school career as an HBAC, recounted a pivotal moment last season when his coaches handed him the number 67 jersey, asking him to step into the role of a lineman—territory entirely unfamiliar to him. Despite initial surprise, Chadbourne embraced the challenge with a team-first mentality. “The coaches need me. I need to step up for my team,” he declared, earning applause for his selfless attitude.

Chadbourne’s rapid adaptation to his new position and his ability to pack on 20 pounds to meet the physical demands of a lineman highlighted his commitment. When jokingly pressed by Yokley about enjoying more food now, the senior athlete chuckled, admitting to eating a lot more to maintain his new weight. His favorite team meals, particularly a recent feast from local favorite Giangelo’s, came up as a fun topic of discussion.

Beyond football, Chadbourne opened up about his interests, which include playing video games like “Brawl Stars,” spending time fishing, and indulging in his mom’s homemade pepperoni rolls, his “specialty dinner.” His admiration for his family’s support, especially his younger sister Natasha, a golfer, and his mother’s patience, painted a picture of a well-rounded individual rooted in strong family values.

Looking ahead, Chadbourne has his sights set on college, with aspirations of pursuing a career involving math—a subject he excelled in from an early age under the guidance of supportive teachers like Mr. Miller and Mrs. Fishel.

The episode ended with a humorous note when Yokley asked Chadbourne to choose a reality TV show he could compete in. After some banter about “Naked and Afraid,” Chadbourne settled on the idea of a survival show, underscoring his readiness to face challenges head-on, albeit with a steadfast commitment to keep his clothes on.

Michael Chadbourne’s story is a testament to resilience, versatility, and selflessness, qualities that not only embody the spirit of South Range football but also serve as an inspiration to the community.
