RANGE ROLLS ON THE ROAD

/in /by

HUNTING VALLEY, OH- Some critics made comments this week that University School could be the biggest test that South Range would face in the regular season.  The Raiders have only been back to school for just over a week, but already they’re passing big tests with flying colors after a 42-14 victory Friday evening.

With an intriguing 5pm start in the Prepper’s house, South Range embraced opportunities throughout the game even when penalties would extend drives for University throughout the contest.

Regardless, Shane Lindstrom was feeling it in the first quarter, the senior splashback started the scoring with a 65-yard touchdown from Billy Skripac to put South Range up 7-0.  On the next possession, Lindstrom cooked around a corner from 37 yards out on an end-around to put South Range up two scores.  Then just moments later, Skripac put a dime on the hands of the senior receiver for a 21-0 lead right out of the gates.

University would put the ball in the hands of Ryan Pattison for a 3-yard plunge after the Preppers would bully their way downfield to chip away at the lead, 21-7.  Junior QB, Jackson Boland would then drive the Preppers downfield and connect on a crossing route with Brian Kellon for a 37-yard strike to make it 21-14.

Then, the Raiders punched a ticket for the “E-Train” Blake Ewert after the half, as the featured back took over.  Ewert would go in on touchdowns from 26, 34, and 36 yards for the Raiders to put the Preppers to rest in Week 2.

Ewert would finish the game with 187 yards rushing on 17 carries with 3 TD’s.  Lindstrom would lead the Raider receiving room with 5 catches for 101 yards and 2 house calls through the air, and an additional on the ground.  Billy Skripac would go 8 of 11 through the air for 129 yards and two scores while rushing for 18 yards as well.

Defensively, Luke Starkey led the way with 6.5 tackles and an interception.  JD Crouse tallied 5.5 stops including 3.5 tackles for loss.  Brady Crummbacher and Ayden Leon also got in on the pick party, with interceptions of their own.

Also worth noting, late in the game- Shane Lindstrom had one of the most acrobatic plays you’ll ever see in high school football, perhaps ever.  Lindstrom caught a pass off the right side, advanced the ball, and front-flipped over a defender only to land on his feet and further advance the ball.  Ultimately, the play would draw a penalty for “hurdling” a defender, to which is illegal according to the OHSAA.

It’s still worth watching over and over.

South Range (2-0) will travel once again, this time to Canton next week to take on Canton Central Catholic.

ALL SHANE, NO SHAME

CANFIELD, OH- If you’ve ever seen the impressive, and unique play of players like Julian Edelman, and Wes Welker, you’ll be familiar with South Range’s Shane Lindstrom.  A shifty, speedy athlete who is a threat no matter the yard line or down and distance.

Add on that Lindstrom’s talent is coupled by his leadership, generosity, and work ethic – well, then you have the game-changing, once-in-a-generation-type player that fans love to watch, and his opposition hates to see.

Lindstrom can get the job done with or without the football in his hands, just seeing number 11 in burgundy and gold is enough to command a double team, effectively opening up another teammates opportunity.  That’s only the beginning, though.  Shane takes his studies very seriously- being the son of a teacher, proving that he’s counting on more than his yards after the catch to pull him through school.

We sat down with the star student-athlete for South Range to talk about his senior year, who’s knocking on his door, and where his athletic talents stem from- which you’ll want to see.  All that and more on the South Range Player Profile of Shane Lindstrom.

SOUTH RANGE GETS TRICKY IN VICTORY

/in /by

LOUISVILLE, OH- It took a deep dive into the South Range Playbook, but the Raiders executed some trickery late in the contest to beat Garaway 15-12 to keep their season alive!

The game started with South Range coming out in an up-tempo offense and driving the length of the field to punch the ball in with Dylan Dominguez from 2-yards out, and taking a lead that had many ready for what we’d seen all season long.

This was a new twist on a movie so many Raider fans have seen before.

Garaway did not shy away from the physicality of the game on Saturday night, though.  In the second quarter, the Pirates offense fired back with a 31-yard touchdown from Logan Yoder to JD Young, but the extra point was no good- leaving the game at 7-6.

The Pirates would have another opportunity right before the half to take the lead but the field goal attempt going into the wind was no-good, leaving us in a one-point game.

Adjustments were made on both sides of the ball, but it took until 4:30 left in the third quarter for either team to break out.  Garaway’s Ethan Miller broke out of the “Stacked I” formation from 31-yards out to give Garaway their first lead of the night at 12-7.

Then, after the misdirection the Raiders had shown for the last 3 weeks, the chess game was about to pay-off.  While driving in the fourth quarter, South Range was at the 17 yard-line looking for answers on third down when Offensive Coordinator, Wayne Allegretto dug into the bag of tricks and orchestrated a beautiful double-reverse pass from Shane Lindstrom to Ayden Leon to give the Raiders the lead at 13-12.

The Raiders weren’t done there.  With visible special teams issues for Garaway, and complete faith in the Raider defense, Coach Yeagley rolled the dice and went for two after the score.  Billy Skripac would put the team on his shoulders and shimmy into the endzone to give the Burgundy and Gold an 3-point advantage to make it 15-12, to eventually win the game.

Leading the way on the ground for South Range was Dylan Dominguez, who had 18 carries for 61 yards and a score.  Skripac added 37 yards on 7 carries while going 6/9 for 82 yards through the air, while Lindstrom’s only pass was pulled in by Leon from 17 yards out, while hauling in 4 receptions for 77 yards.

Defensively, Tyler Remish had 9.5 tackles and led the way on stops while Logan Cormell had six stops.  JD Crouse, and Jacob Brooks closed down the Pirates with 4 tackles apiece.

The Raiders punch their ticket to the Regional Championship game, and force a rematch against Kirtland next week at Bo Rein Stadium in Niles at 7PM.

 

THE STORM IS COMING

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- There is something brewing in the South Range football program, something special. It’s a perfect storm of speed, power, and awareness. It comes in the form of Shane Lindstrom.

Lindstrom is just one of many dynamic weapons the Raiders have used this year to sail to a 9-0 start. The Raiders love to use Shane to stretch the field and spread defenses out. But he can also bounce off tackles and make people miss in open space. That was put on glorious display in their game against Jefferson when Lindstrom ran back one of the most exciting punt returns you’ll ever see. He used every trick in the book, spin moves hurtles, you name it he broke it out to get to the endzone. It’s a big reason Shane was put on as a nominee as Baird Brother’s Big Dog of the Valley. Raider Nation did the rest, voting him to the top spot.

Shane took the time to join YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about his season. He chats with Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell about that punt return, what makes his team special and much more. Find some shelter if your venturing to South Range because the storm is coming. Check out this exclusive interview with Shane Lindstrom the Week 6 Big of the Valley champion.
