BRI FOR THREE

In South Range, there’s a school-record board as you pass by the gymnasium.  It has some of the most legendary student-athletes of the school’s fifty-year history represented.  Somewhere on that boar,d you’ll find a junior sniper on the girl’s basketball team that last year broke the number of three-pointers in a game, as well as the number of three’s drained in a single season, and this year…well, Bri Modic is on pace to break the all-time mark for three-pointers in a career while in the Burgundy and Gold.

This year is much different for the Lady Raiders, new leaders, another year older, another year wiser.  However, for Modic, the goal remains the same.  Get on the court.  Get open.  Get buckets.

YSN’s Anthony Hartwig sits down with Bri Modic for our first South Range Player Profile of the season- BRI FOR THREE.

DESTINY IS CERTAIN

For Hubbard Senior, Destiny Watson, there are few things she enjoys as much as time on the court.

The 2018 season is just underway and Watson is ready to leave her legacy on the Lady Eagle program.  Watson is a cager who prides herself on hard work and leadership.

Sit down with YSN’s Jamie Thomson and find out what Watson aspires to become after she wraps things up on the hardwood on this week’s Hubbard Eagle Player Profile: DESTINY IS CERTAIN

 

 

 

EAST PALESTINE GIRL’S BBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH WILL FRANKLIN (EP 1)

Veteran East Palestine Head Coach Will Franklin has been a part of the program for quite some time, and the game that transpired recently against Lisbon in the Dog Pound was enough to give any coach a good night’s rest.

After a 50-49 victory over the Lady Blue Devil’s YSN’s DJ Yokley caught up with Coach Franklin to discuss the progression he’s seen in his time in Bulldog Country, as well as many other topics including what it’s like to coach young teams and transforming them to champions.

Hit the hardwood with all that and more with Episode 1 of East Palestine Girl’s BBall Coach’s Corner with Will Franklin!

The team added more depth, more strength, and more drive during the offseason that has the Rebels ready to rock in 2019.

YSN’s DJ Yokley had the chance to sit down with Coach Wilson and discuss what the outlook is for the Hardwood Warriors in the week to come!

All that and more on the initial episode of Crestview Boy’s Basketball Coach’s Corner with Jeff Wilson (EP 1)

GIRARD OVERCOME WITH EMOTION AFTER HARD FOUGHT VICTORY

By now you know and have heard that the Girard Indians Football Team had a pretty big win last night.  The kind that doesn’t come around every day, or in this particular case, ever before.  For the first time in school history, the Indians are fighting for a State Championship.

Licking Valley gave Girard everything they had, and like any great prize fight, it came down to the final round.  It was the haymaker TD pass thrown from arguably the top Quarterback in the Country, Marky Waid to Nick Malito on 4th and 15 that knocked out the Panthers with 1:44 remaining in the final frame.  The Indians would win the game by a final score of 53-48, and we have strung together the raw emotion following the victory including the final touchdown call, an interview with Mark Waid, and the moment of the year as Head Coach Pat Pearson shares a moment with his wife after the game.  (Interviews and photos courtesy of Brent Bigelow)

We at YSN are incredibly proud and humbled to follow this team and this community.

WE ARE…

Proud.

LAMPARTY POSTS CAREER HIGH, RANGE SAILS PAST SHAW

HOWLAND, OH- The South Range Girls Basketball team opened up the season with some unfamiliarity Friday night at Howland vs Cleveland Shaw as part of the Toni Ross Tournament.  

2 new additions to the starting lineup walked on the floor, one a senior Marlaina Slabach and one a freshman Lexi Giles. On top of new faces head coach Tony Matisi was unable to be on the sidelines serving a 2 game suspension for his ejection out of the 2018 regional semifinal last season. Through the adversity, the Lady Raiders stood tall and earned a trip to the tournament championship with a 62-46 win over Cleveland Shaw.

In the 1st quarter, the Raiders scored right out of the gate as Marlaina Slabach buried a three in their offensive possession. The rest of the quarter, however, was lethargic for the Raiders offense. Not for a lack of execution the Raiders got to the free throw line 11 times in the frame but only put in 3 shots. They trailed after 1 9-8.

In the 2nd quarter, Izzy Lamparty took control. Scoring 8 points in a row and opening the Raiders offensive attack. Lamparty’s ability to score inside made room for Bri Modic and Marlaina Slabach to put in a couple of threes. The Raiders outscored the Cardinals 21-7 in the frame to take a 29-16 lead into halftime.

The Raiders kept rolling in the 3rd quarter as Bree Kohler turned quick hands on defense into easy buckets on offense. The Cardinals stayed in the game with some exceptional perimeter shooting from their guards but the Raiders were able to maintain a 46-36 lead after 3.

The perimeter shooting that kept the Cardinals close in the 3rd was non-existent in the final frame. The Raider offense kept on the attack and pulled away with a 62-46 victory.

Izzy Lamparty who missed all of the volleyball season with an injury came back on the court with a vengeance. She dropped a career-high 30 points and also snagged 14 rebounds and 5 steals.  Bree Kohler also had a strong outing scoring 17 points 4 rebound and 4 steals. The Lady Raiders will play Howland Saturday night at 7:30 for the tournament championship.
