SOUTH RANGE FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 1) WITH DAVE RACH

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- For the first time in nearly three decades, the baton has been passed from a Hall of Fame coach in Dan Yeagley, to recently announced South Range life-long product, David Rach.

Rach brings a boatload of coaching experience into the fold, as well as the respect of the entire Raider community.  Rach has been coaching for over a decade and intertwined this with his experience as an all-state player in high school and a standout linebacker at Youngstown State University.

Coach Rach immediately identified that he’s not looking to make changes to what’s been working, as he’d much rather continue to build the tradition South Range has established along the way that has garnered state-wide attention and a recent state championship.

YSN and DJ Yokley sat down with the new head ball coach and were honored to have the first interview with Coach Rach at Athletix.

RACH, PAPER, SCISSORS: RANGE CHOOSES RACH

/in /by

CANFIELD, OH- The list of South Range Football Head Coaches just received another gold star for their program on Wednesday night.  After board approval, David Rach has been chosen to take over the whistle for the Raider Football Program.

Rach served as the Defensive Coordinator for the State Championship squad, as well as in years prior, and is a 2007 graduate of South Range, and is regarded highly as one of the program’s elite players in the five decades of existence.

“I am so thankful to the South Range administration and board of education for awarding me the opportunity to lead the South Range Football program moving forward,” said David Rach. “My family and I would also like to thank Coach, Kelli, and the entire Yeagley family for all of their love, support, guidance, and friendship over the years and throughout this transition,” Rach added.

Dan Yeagley, who retired from the position just a month ago speaks highly of his former player and coach who now takes the torch for the burgundy and gold, “Dave is a great leader and coach, and an even better young man.  He really cares about the players and he has been a huge part of our success over the years.  He and his family have been very supportive of South Range, and I am looking forward to watching the program grow under his leadership.”

Rach will take over the Raiders coming off of a State Championship in Division V, but will have his hands full in replacing 20 seniors from the class.  It is expected that South Range will also keep the majority, if not all of the coaching staff intact for the upcoming season.

The first-year coach undoubtedly seems excited about representing the next generation of Raider Coaches, “Thank you to the players, parents, coaching staff, and entire ‘Raider Family’ for inspiring me, believing in me, and trusting me. I am humbled, proud, and so excited to be your coach. Go Raiders!”

South Range opens up their 2023 campaign against the Springfield Tigers in August.

IRONS STEPS IN AND EARNS 2023 COACH OF THE YEAR

/in /by

CANFIELD, OHIO – Any basketball aficionado will tell you that talent will take you far, but a great head coach will finish the deal off. The ability to lead a group of players, getting the full potential out of each individual, and also showing the guys how to be men is everything you want out of your head man. After South Range started the season 0-5, Todd Irons took over the reins and led the team through their adverse start. Under the direction of Irons, the Raiders went 15-5 the rest of the way where their season ended to Lutheran East in the Division III District Final.

Although the Raiders had hopes of going further in the tournament, the team has much to be proud of considering the run they went on to turn things around after the rocky start. We at YSN would like to take this opportunity to congratulate coach Irons as we have selected him as our 2023 Coach of the Year recipient.
