GOTTA GO WITH NIKO
It’s common knowledge that when High School football players talk to coaching staffs, they profess their love for either offense, or defense. Typically it will show on Friday nights as well, because the player will shine on one side of the ball.
For Salem Junior Niko Walter, he extinguished the East Palestine offense in Week 1 with two interceptions, as well as kept the Bulldog defense guessing with 2 carries out of the backfield for 15 yards, 4 catches for 92 yards and a TD…..Oh, and he threw for a score as well.
All in a day’s work for Niko.
Our Jarrod Niederheiser sat down with the Salem Standout for this week’s Player Profile: GOTTA GO WITH NIKO

CRESTVIEW’S PERRY IS SCARY (GOOD)
The age-old question always comes into play when you’re discussing team sports against individual sports: Can a student-athlete do both? Can they do them both WELL?
Usually, the answer is a resounding no, however, when you’re discussing Crestview’s Dominic Perry-it’s quite the opposite.
Perry not only is an Ohio State Champion in his own regard but doubles as a 4-year starter for Coach Cusick on the Rebel Football Team. Not only that, but Dom is leaned on, and considered to be the heartbeat of the team amongst his teammates.
Our Dimitri Gregory caught up with Dom before this week’s Struthers game for our First Episode of Crestview Player Profile: CRESTVIEW’S PERRY IS SCARY (GOOD)

WAID-ING FOR HIS MOMENT
When you walk into a football stadium in week 1, there’s going to be a buzz no matter the town you’re from. When your once in a generation Quarterback passes for over 300 yards in the first half, that buzz becomes electricity.
Girard’s Mark Waid has been the talk of the town for as long as anybody can remember, but when talking to anybody, he’s first to shed the credit. He praises teammates, coaches, and family before he even speaks of what he does. As Waid heads into Week 2 against rival Hubbard, we caught up with him to discuss the game, the season, and the college recruitment process for him.

LADY RAIDERS BOUNCE BACK, DOWN POLAND
The Raider Volleyball team earned their first NE8 win of the season with a sweep of Poland on Thursday night (25-23 25-10 25-20)
In the first set the Raiders found themselves down early 5-12, but a couple of Poland mistakes and 3 consecutive kills from Emily Irons helped the Raiders grab control of a close set. Anna Primavera got rolling right away racking up 6 kills in the set and Emily Irons had an impressive stretch of 3 kills back to back to back leading the Raiders to a 25-23 set 1 win.
The 2nd set was not one the Poland coaching staff will look back on and smile about. The Raiders dominated a 25-10 set while only gathering 7 kills. Poland in the negative hitting percentage to help the Raiders secure set 2.
Set 3 got back to competitive volleyball as the Bulldogs regathered and stayed away from costly errors. The Raiders saw a 16-13 lead turn into a tie set 16-16 with 3 consecutive hitting errors. Primavera quickly got the Raiders back on track with a kill to make it 17-16. Jenna Barbessi would add a kill of her own to pad a Raider lead and help them escape with set 3 and the sweep 25-20.
As a team, the Raiders hit .290 with 29 kills and just 9 attack errors. Anna Primavera swung her way to 17 kills. Emily Irons finished with 11 assists and 5 kills. Drew Ferren finished with 15 assists and 6 digs. Mary Kuhns grabbed 11 digs on the night.
The Raiders return home on Tuesday to continue NE8 play as they host Girard.
HUMILITY IS EASY FOR JASON SANTISI
One look at Cardinal Mooney Senior Jason Santisi, and you know you’re in for a tough game no matter what side of the ball you’re on. For Football North St. Joe’s last Friday night, the smooth tailback with an even smoother last name torched them for 4 scores including a 90-yard kick return to put the nail in the coffin.
However, when the pads come off, this headstrong, humble young man is first to give credit to his teammates, his family, and all those around him. Jason Santisi is quite naturally a great football player, but it’s the other aspects in life that make his rich family heritage so proud day in and day out.
We had a chance to catch up with Jason following his Week 1 standout performance, and YSN General Manager chats it up with Mooney’s Monster in the backfield in our first Player Profile for Cardinal Mooney Football: HUMILITY IS EASY FOR JASON SANTISI
