CARROLLTON HEAD COACH PHIL MAURO TALKS ABOUT THE MATCHUP AGAINST SALEM:

HAVE NO FEAR: STEAR IS HERE!

What happens when you blend a truck-loving, hunting, hard-working, country boy with great hands and incredible speed with a high-powered offense and a shutdown defense?

You get South Range Senior- Josh Stear.

While he’s quiet in his demeanor, Stear leads by example on the field.  He’s the guy who wants the ball when the game is on the line, and when you see 20 on the field, don’t blink.  If you do, he’s going to beat you for six points without a doubt.

Coming off a great rivalry game against the Rebels last Friday, Josh Stear sits down with DJ Yokley to talk business (he wants to open his own) and pleasure in this week’s South Range Player Profile: HAVE NO FEAR: STEAR IS HERE!

MARY, MARY, QUITE CONTRARY

The old Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme reads:

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary.  How does your garden grow?  With silver bells and cockleshells, and pretty maids all in a row.”

While we don’t know much about cockleshells, or maids in a row, we do know that if South Range needed a new garden…Senior Mary Kuhns would be the one digging it.  Kuhns is the super setter, and defensive standout for the Lady Raiders this year.  She’s already had numerous (possibly record-breaking) performances that have wowed those in attendance.

So what’s her secret?  What does she want to do after college?

SARGE IS IN CHARGE

One look at Salem Senior Robbie Sarginger, and you know he’s all business.

Thus far he’s helped the Quakers establish a 3-0 record to start their 2018 campaign.  The issue is, this team, this class, and this city are not content with small victories.  They want to make history.

Sarginger is helping out in any capacity he can to help break through into new territory for Salem.

Our Jarrod Niederheiser sat down with the Senior Salem Standout last week, and talks with Robbie about all aspects of football, and what his future looks like.

HUFFING BY THE OPPOSITION

The word huff is believed to have originated in the late 1500’s. It imitates the sound of blowing (sounds like puff) and is believed to be related to the word. Huff can mean to expel (release) air quickly, much like someone does when they are angry.

Source: theidioms.com

So, it’s no surprise the aptly named, Dylan Huff is having no problem in his career blowing by defenses with his speed, agility, and hands to boot.  Giving Defensive Coordinators fits across Ohio (and West Virginia.)

No matter what Dylan does, he does it well.  He’s humble, thoughtful, calculated, and talented beyond measure.  A multi-sport star for the Rebs now into his Senior year, Huff takes a few minutes with our Dimitri Gregory to reflect on what has been, and what’s to come.

INDIANS CLIP EAGLES IN REBOUND GAME

GIRARD, OH-  Girard coming off of a tough loss to Hubbard was ready to get back on the horse tonight and ride back onto the winning side of town.  Following a tough week of practice Girard was ready to take on JFK. Right from the start, the offense led by Mark Waid would put up 35 points alone in the first half.  Waid spread the ball around hitting Mick Malito, Aiden Warga, Terrence Davis and Morgan Clardy for touchdowns. He even ran one on his own for 6.

Waid for the second time this season totaled over 400 yards passing.  JFK was vulnerable to the Indians passing attack. For JFK, sophomore running back Cameron Hollobaugh received most of the work, but often he was met with stiff resistance from the Indians defensive line led by Jack Delgarbino.  

In talking to Waid after the game, the team learned a lot from last weeks loss and realized they “Can’t take anyone for granted.”   Next week they face Champion and according to Waid they will still start from square one this week and will continue to work hard.

SALEM OUTLASTS LIVERPOOL

SALEM, OH- The Salem Quakers continued their winning ways with a 28-14 win of the Potters of East Liverpool on Friday night at Reilly Stadium. The Quakers were able to capitalize off of Potter miscues and finish drives on their way to their 3rd straight victory.

The Quakers opened the scoring in the 1st quarter with a 65-yard touchdown strike from Turner Johnson to Josh Lehwald, and with the 2 point conversion took an 8-0 lead. The Potters answered back on special teams when Nick Woodyard brought back a punt 53 yards for a score to pull East Liverpool within one at 8-7. After a 2nd quarter interception by Niko Walter, the Quakers struck again through the air from 34 yards out from Johnson to Luke Weingart making the halftime score 14-7 in favor of the Quakers.

The Quakers looked to get some breathing room when Cade Campolito scampered 21 yards for a score to give Salem a 20-7 lead and what seemed to be some breathing room. The Potters would not go quietly when sophomore Nate Davis came off the bench in the 4th quarter to hit Woodyard on a 23-yard touchdown strike to cut their deficit to 20-14. Needing to swing the momentum, Niko Walter took matters into his own hands and answered back right away with an 80-yard kick return to put the Quakers in great field position. Turner Johnson would find Luke Weingart again, this time from 20 yards out, and with the 2 point conversion, took a 28-14 lead and that’s where things would end up.

Salem moves to 3-0 on the season and opens EBC play when they host Carrollton at Reilly Stadium. Tune into YSNlive.com/Salem for the call, pregame starts at 6:30, kickoff at 7:00.

EAST LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH JOSH LUDWIG (EP.2)

The talent pool in deep at Cardinal Mooney, as everyone knows.  This year is no different as The Cardinals are off and running on what they hope to be another banner season in Youngstown.  One player specifically has been focused on this season for some time, a young man who will take his talent to the next level as a Michigan State commit.

A player that has been highly touted since day one, Luke Fulton talks about the relief he has after committing to an excellent D1 program that isn’t too far from home.

Fulton talks about his traveling up the ranks, starting down the road, and ending up in the cardinal and gold.

What is Fulton’s favorite food, his favorite football team, what about his favorite musician?
