All of these credentials lead to one young man in the East Liverpool lockerroom- Aidan Watkins.

The Potter senior has stepped in nicely to a role that was custom fitted to not only his abilities on the field but his attitude outside the lines.  With all the rich tradition that is East Liverpool football, the leadership role is not one taken lightly in Potterville, but one that is earned by the blood, sweat, and tear equity that has come for over a century in East Liverpool.

2018 just feels like a different year for the Potters.  Our Tommy Pease sits down with East Liverpool Senior Aidan Watkins in this week’s East Liverpool Player Profile- WATKINS PROVIDES THE SPARK

CARDINAL MOONEY FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH PJ FECKO (EP 4)

/in /by

If you’ve ever been inside the gymnasium at Cardinal Mooney, it serves as a constant reminder of rich winning tradition everywhere you look.  Quite literally, the walls are blanketed in championship banners from pillar to post.

The 2018 Cardinals have been tasked with adding to those walls under one of the toughest schedules in the state of Ohio.  They have yet to blink.  Sure- they want to win, but humble warriors in defeat are the most dangerous of all.

The Cards look to bounce back after a tough loss to Akron St Vincent-St. Mary’s last week, and are dialed in for Week 5!

Head Coach PJ Fecko sits down with our Steve Leslie to discuss the opportunities ahead for the Cards in this week’s Cardinal Mooney Coach’s Corner!

CHASING GREATNESS

/in /by

It isn’t often that you associate greatness into a high school football team, but in Columbiana, there’s plenty to go around!

While the Clippers have not got off to the start they were hoping for, the eyes stay bright, and the goals remain the same.  Win every down.  This year the Clippers are once again a young team trying to find their flight path in mid-air.  However with players such as Chase Franken, and his teammates- Coach Spaite understands that greatness is just one whistle away.

We had a chance to catch up with Columbiana’s multi-sport standout and talk X’s and O’s, as well as a round of rapid-fire questioning you won’t want to miss.

This week’s Columbiana Player Profile is Chase Franken: CHASING GREATNESS

When you build a program built on physicality, it’s inevitable you’re going to get every team’s best shot.  That’s exactly the predicament that Crestview finds themselves in here in 2018.  Coach Q and the boys are looking to bounce back after a tough loss to South Range on the road last week.

Nothing beats a bit of home cooking to get back on track!  It might not be Thanksgiving yet, but the Rebs have some bird on the menu this week in the form of the JFK Eagles.

Will attrition be a problem for the black and gold?  JFK had a huge second half against the Rebs last year, can the home team return the favor this time?

Find out that and more on this week’s Coach’s Corner with Paul Cusick!
