MINERAL RIDGE VOLLEYBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH RON LESKO

MINERAL RIDGE OH- Mineral Ridge volleyball is one of the few teams in the area that is returning a huge percentage of the core group that made them successful a year ago.  That’s why a lot of eyes are locked on to the Rams this season. Don’t worry though, they flourish in the limelight.  The senior class is hungry to make their mark one last time on the program before they graduate. They’re also doing wonders in developing the future of the program for after they leave. Ron Lesko is back for another year as head coach of the team, and there’s no where he’d rather be.  Mineral Ridge promises to be one of the premiere teams in the area when the it’s all said and done.

Coach Lesko was able to take time out of his day to chat with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig about the Rams upcoming season. They talk about what keeps him coming back, how important this senior class is, and so much more. Check out Episode 1 of Coach’s Corner with Ron Lesko only on YSN!

RIDGE FIGHTS OFF CLIPPERS FOR A DISTRICT TITLE

MINERAL RIDGE OH- Mineral Ridge Volleyball has gone a long time without a district championship. They’ve had several teams over the years with promise who have gotten to the title game, but came up short. Their 2020 squad was determined to put an end to the drought. They’d have to battle their way past a very scrappy Columbiana team in order to do it. The Rams came away with a hard fought four set victory to finally be crowned district champions (25-22 25-16 14-25 25-23).

Leading the Rams offense was Katelyn Lesko who finished with 19 kills on the day. She also completed a double double tallying the team lead in digs with 20. Morgan Sigley had a strong outing finishing with 19 digs, and 9 kills. She had the title clinching kill as well. Danielle Aulet ran the offense to perfection collecting 37 assists.

Columbiana was led by Tori Long who finished with a double double. She tallied 10 kills, and 10 digs. Maddie Witherow put together a strong performance with 7 kills, and 15 digs. Maci Linhart led the Clipper offense with 16 digs. Grace Witmer set up 19 assists. She also compiled 8 digs, and 4 kills.
