SCHOEDEL NAMED GATORADE CROSS COUNTRY PLAYER OF THE YEAR FOR PENNSYLVANIA

BESSEMER PA-  Big-time shoutout to Jaxon Schoedel—Pennsylvania’s 2024-25 Gatorade Boys Cross Country Player of the Year.

The Mohawk standout didn’t just defend his throne—he dominated. Schoedel ran it back this fall, repeating as both WPIAL and PIAA Class 1A champ. He was untouchable in the state, going undefeated against in-state runners all the way through NXN regionals.

Speaking of regionals, he showed out on the big stage, grabbing third place at the Nike Northeast Regional—highest finish by any runner from PA—and locking up First Team All-Region honors. That punched his ticket to the national finals, where he finished 66th in a stacked field.

Schoedel dropped a nasty PR of 15:33.0 at the District 7 title race, showing why he’s been one of the most consistent distance threats in the country this year.

Next stop? Happy Valley. Jaxon’s heading to Penn State to take his talents to the Big Ten and keep grinding at the next level.

SENIOR DAY GOES WELL IN MOHAWK

BESSEMER PA- Mohawk came out swinging and never looked back, cruising past Ambridge 8-1 in a wire-to-wire win.

The Warriors jumped on Ambridge right out of the gate, putting up a 3-spot in the first. Vinny Pezzuolo ripped a double to the gap that brought in two, and Drew Wrona cashed in another run on a fielder’s choice.

They kept the pressure on in the second with a pair of sac flies—one from Bobby Fadden and another from Pezzuolo—to push the lead to 5-0. Mohawk tacked on three more runs late to put it on ice, and while the exact path to those runs got a little fuzzy, the scoreboard didn’t lie.

Briar Crawford was nails on the bump, spinning five innings of three-hit ball while fanning seven and giving up just one run. Fadden came in to slam the door, working a perfect final two innings with three punchouts of his own.

At the plate, Pezzuolo was a menace. The dude racked up two triples, a double, and drove in four runs to lead the charge.

Mohawk looked sharp on both sides of the ball—and with arms like Crawford and Fadden dealing, they’ll be a tough out moving forward.

MOSKAL LAUNCHES A PAIR OF BOMBS TO LIFT MOHAWK

BESSEMER PA-  Addy Moskal came out swinging on Wednesday, blasting two home runs and racking up five RBIs to lead Mohawk past Quaker Valley, 13-2.

The Warriors wasted no time setting the tone. Moskal’s first shot of the day—a bomb to right—got them on the board in the first. A defensive miscue and a couple of well-placed hits followed, and just like that, Mohawk was up big early.

They kept the pressure on in the second, tacking on three more with a groundout, a sharp single, and a double down the line. Then Moskal struck again in the third—this time sending one to dead center for a solo shot.

Reagan Magno was dominant in the circle, striking out 10 and holding Quaker Valley to just three hits over six innings. She walked only one and kept the game fully under control from the start.

The Warriors finished with 12 hits on the day, spreading the damage up and down the lineup. Alivia Hare, Ally Granato, and Magno each had multiple knocks, and the team worked six walks to keep the line moving. Gianna Pezzuolo and Mylie Pistorius each drew a pair of free passes, and the defense backed it all up—clean in the field with no errors.

Quaker Valley managed three hits and scratched out a couple of runs, but couldn’t get much going against Magno’s mix of heat and movement. Next up for Mohawk is a road trip to Hopewell on Friday.

 

MOHAWK HANDLES THEMSELVES ON THE ROAD

ELWOOD CITY PA- Mohawk handled business Monday, knocking off Ellwood City 6-2. The Warriors wasted no time getting on the board, cashing in a couple early singles. Mylie Pistorius started the party with an RBI knock in the first.

Mohawk tacked on some insurance late, plating two more runs in the seventh. Lydia Cole cranked a solo shot to left, and Makenna Stewart added an RBI single to put it out of reach.

Reagan Magno picked up the win in the circle, throwing a complete game. She gave up just four hits and two unearned runs while striking out six and walking two.

Amber McQuistion went the distance for Ellwood City, but Mohawk’s bats were too much, banging out 12 hits. Pistorius was a tough out all day, going a perfect 4-for-4. Addy Moskal and Cole each had multi-hit games too. Magno helped her own cause with two RBIs, and the Warriors stayed sharp in the field, even turning a double play.

Ellwood City got hits from Alexis Beck, McQuistion, Rylee Prestopine, and Crystal Folino, but couldn’t string much together. Mohawk gets back after it Wednesday at home against Quaker Valley.

 

MOHAWK MEANS BUSINESS

BESSEMER PA-  Reagan Magno was dealing on Friday, striking out 10 and tossing a two-hitter to lead Mohawk past Hopewell 9-0.

Magno went the distance, shutting down the Vikings over seven innings with a nasty mix, giving up just two hits and three walks while keeping the scoreboard clean.

At the plate, Lydia Cole came out swinging—she went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a single. Her leadoff double in the first got the Warriors rolling, and Magno followed with a bases-loaded walk to bring in another.

Mohawk kept the heat on in the second when Addy Moskal ripped a two-run triple and later scored on an error, making it 5-0 early.

Magno wasn’t just dominant in the circle—she also knocked in three runs on a 2-for-2 day. The whole lineup showed patience too, drawing eight free passes. Mylie Pistorius, Magno, and Ashlee Masters each walked twice. Alivia Hare added some chaos on the bases with a pair of steals.

MAGNO THROWS A NO HITTER, MOHAWK OFFENSE LETS LOOSE

BESSEMER PA- Mohawk came out swinging and never let up, steamrolling Beaver Falls 16-0 on Friday. Mylie Pistorius was on fire, driving in four runs with a bomb to left in the second and a 2-run double in the first. She set the tone early and didn’t let off the gas.

The Warriors blew it wide open in the first with a 10-run outburst. Gianna Pezzuolo knocked in a pair with a single, Pistorius roped a double for two more, and the Tigers couldn’t keep the ball clean—multiple errors helped the Warriors keep the merry-go-round going. Kaitlyn Hare chipped in an RBI knock, Addy Moskal smacked a double for another, and Pezzuolo came back around with another RBI hit.

In the second, they tacked on seven more. Lydia Cole laced a 2-run double, and Pistorius capped the frame with a 3-run tank to left.

RAIDERS FIRE BACK AFTER MOHAWK RALLY

CANFIELD OH-  Giada Pauline was on fire, going 3-for-4 as the South Range Raiders edged the Mohawk Area Warriors 7-6 on Tuesday. She kicked off her night with a single in the first, added another in the second, and then drilled a double in the fourth to drive in key runs.

South Range didn’t pull ahead until later though. With the score tied at six in the bottom of the sixth, Pauline’s groundout came through to plate a crucial run.

The Raiders got the party started in the bottom of the first when Jayli Wilt crushed a triple down the right and Solena DeJesus followed with a center-field single, each putting one on the board. They built on that early spark in the bottom of the second, stringing together RBI singles from Gabby Spooner, Pauline, and Wilt to add four runs.

The Warriors weren’t backing down, though. In the top of the fourth they tied it up on a mix of plays—a single from Makenna Stewart, an error, another hit from Addy Moskal, a triple by Alivia Hare, and a double from Gianna Pezzuolo.

On the mound, Solena DeJesus picked up the win for South Range, tossing three scoreless innings, giving up just one hit while fanning four with no walks.

WARRIORS WRECK WILMINGTON

BESSEMER PA- Mohawk came out swinging and never let up, steamrolling Wilmington 14-0 on Thursday behind a fourth-inning grand slam from Ally Granato and a lights-out outing in the circle by Reagan Magno.

Granato made her one hit count—she launched a no-doubter to center in the fourth to clear the bases and tack on four RBIs. That capped off a six-run frame that put the game completely out of reach.

The Warriors got things rolling early. Alivia Hare drove in the first run in the top of the first with an RBI single. Then in the second, Mohawk exploded for six more. Kaitlyn Hare ripped an RBI double, another run came in on a walk, Gianna Pezzuolo singled in one, and Lydia Cole sent one deep for a three-run shot.

Mohawk poured it on again in the fourth. Hare doubled home a run, Pezzuolo added another RBI single, and Granato’s grand slam was the dagger.

Magno dominated in the circle, scattering six hits across five shutout innings while striking out six and walking just one. She was in full control from the jump.

The Warriors tallied 12 hits total. Hare led the way with a 3-for-3 day, while Pezzuolo, Addy Moskal, and Cole each had multi-hit games. The defense played clean behind them—no errors, with Mylie Pistorius handling six chances. Next up, Mohawk travels to South Range on Tuesday for a big test across the state border.

WARRIORS COMING IN HOT

By Eric Hughes

BESSEMER PA- Mohawk — fresh off a WPIAL championship win last season — defeats Riverside, 12-3, in their season opener.

After Reagan Magno retired Riverside’s first six batters, Mylie Pistorious jumpstart the Warriors offense with an RBI double, followed by a sac fly RBI from Kaitlyn Hare to give the Warriors a 3-0 lead through two innings.

Riverside cut the deficit to 3-2 thanks to an RBI triple from Danny Rosenberger in the top of the third, but their hopes of upsetting the defending champs were short-lived.

The Warriors poured it on in the fourth inning, thanks in part to RBIs from Alivia Hare, Lydia Cole, Reagan Magno, and Makenna Stewart, to give Mohawk a 9-2 lead.

Riverside scored a run off an error in the top of the fifth, but Mohawk responded with three more runs in the bottom of the sixth, two of which came off an RBI double from Ally Granato, to give the Warriors a 12-3 lead.

Reagan Magno picked up the win on the mound, pitching a complete game where she threw seven strikeouts and only gave up three runs on five hits.

Mohawk’s entire lineup contributed to their dominate offensive performance, but Reagan Magno and Ally Granato led the way with two RBIs a piece.

Mohawk will host Mars Friday and look to build off their strong start to the 2025 campaign.
