CANFIELD OH- South Range is coming off their second trip to the state championship game in the last 5 seasons. Once again, the Raiders had to walk away with the runner up trophy. With seven pieces of that lineup returning however, things still look bright for the Raiders. Coach DeRose is using the 2017 season as a learning tool. That was the season after their last state runner up season, where they returned eight players on the roster. That year the Raiders lost in the district tournament. He hopes that this team understands the work it takes to get back. It will be one of the hardest schedules the Raiders have put together in some time, and it all starts March 28th at Jefferson.
Jeff DeRose was able to join YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about the outlook for the 2022 season. He talks with Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell about all the pieces returning, the schedule they’ve put together, and much more. Don’t miss out on this YSN exclusive in Episode 1 of Coach’s Ckrner with Jeff DeRose.

ATWATER OH- The Waterloo Lady Vikings have been a team of adversity all season. From early on, it was a team not many outside of Atwater believed in.
With a group of eight girls on the roster, the questions of longevity arose for The Lady Vikings, especially competing in The MVAC Scarlet with Springfield
On November 22nd, 2021 Waterloo opened up with Alliance, a game in which they lost 58-46 to start the season 0-1. That night The Lady Vikings walked off the court in defeat, a feeling in which they have not felt since.
Rattling off nineteen consecutive victories leading up to the tournament, The Lady Vikings accomplished everything they set out for and then some.
Winning The MVAC Scarlet Division outright, having a perfect 14-0 conference record to do so. It led Waterloo to a 19-1 record in the regular season, a #5 seed in The Division 3 (Struthers District) and a chance to host a sectional final.
That Sectional draw? A team all too familiar with district championships, The #7 South Range Lady Raiders. Even with The Lady Vikings being the higher seed, South Range having won back-to-back district championships made this a tough matchup for Waterloo.
Both programs being defensively sound, had this one looking like it was going to be a defensive grudge match. As both teams sure made it seem so in the first quarter. Holding Waterloo to just 4 points of offense to take a 9-4 lead after one.
Lexi Giles got it going early, hitting back-to-back three pointers to make it 6-0 from the jump and help South Range take the first quarter.
However, The Lady Vikings and Coach Longanecker had a response. With a strong defensive second quarter, Waterloo held The Lady Raiders to just 5 points, helping trim their deficit. South Range led 14-13 by halftime, Lexi Giles led the way with 8 points.
Kaira English was Waterloo’s offense in the first half, scoring 12 of the 13 points before the half. Both teams looked to make halftime adjustments to stop the leading scorers, and drew even in the third quarter 11-11. Making it a slim Raider lead 25-24 going into the final eight minutes.
Basketball is a game of runs, and in a game where both teams were so even, it was a late run by Waterloo that booked The Lady Vikings a ticket to districts! Winning 45-37 over South Range.
The adjustments made by Coach Fishel and The Lady Raiders were effective, holding Kaira English to just 4 points in the second half. But it was Rose Couts that scored 19 points in the second half, totaling 20 on the day. Couts hit some clutch game-clinching free throws in the final minute, part of 13 made free throws in the game, to seal it with a kiss from a Rose.
The other side saw Lexi Giles still score 10 points in the second half, bringing her total to 18; however, Waterloo halted Giles at the arc, 0-5 from three point range after the first.
The win is twenty consecutive now for The Lady Vikings, as they head to The District Semi-Finals in Stuthers to take on another one loss team in the #1 seeded Liberty Lady Leopards.
That game will take place on Wednesday, February 23rd and can be found on YSN!
CANFIELD OH- State Champions! That’s what you can call South Range for the second time in school history. The first team to bring hone the biggest trophy in the state was baseball. Now, it is wrestling’s turn to soak in the glory. On Saturday, the Raiders won three matches to take the state championship trophy out of Versailles, and back to Canfield.
Unlike every other sport, the team state championship is not the end of the line for these athletes. Coming off their state championship, the Raiders hosted Rootstown for their final home dual of the season. After dominating the Rovers, now they look toward the individual tournament where plenty of their wrestlers will have the opportunity to qualify for state.
South Range head coach Dave Markulin took the time to talk to YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about his team, and the state championship. He also talks some strategy and coach with Gary Althiser. You won’t want to miss this exclusive coach’s corner with Raider wrestling only on YSN.

CANFIELD OH- South Range began its bid for their third consecutive district championship on Wednesday as they led wire to wire to beat Grand Valley 52-42.
There were plenty of times where Grand Valley pushed it close. But a big Raider run to open the game would constantly keep them ahead every time Grand Valley made a push. The biggest moment in the game was in the second quarter when the Raiders lead was cut to 17-16. South Range answered with a 7-0 run to go up 24-16. They’d carry a 33-24 lead into the half. The Raiders were able to stabilize their lead in the second half. It ballooned to as much as 15.
Lexi Giles led the Raiders with an impressive 26 point performance. Emma Cunningham was also in double figures with 10. No one else scored more than 4, however 6 other players scored for the Raiders. Their combined 16 points were crucial to the Raiders win.
The Raiders advance to the sectional final on Saturday. They will travel to Waterloo. The tip is scheduled for 1:00.

CANFIELD OH- It was senior night in South Range. The Raiders had a blast honoring their 4 seniors. Aidan English, Mark Naples, Corey Penick, and Zach Smith were all honored in the pregame ceremony, along with the senior cheerleaders.
After the emotions of senior night, there was still Basketball to be played. The Raiders controlled the tempo for the first quarter, and most of the second. Well into that second frame, the Raiders led 12-8. Their patient offense has effectively grounded Mooney’s high flying offense. However, a string of live ball turnover that led to easy buckets fueled a 20-4 run between the first and second halves. Despite a push back from South Range to keep the Cardinals in striking distance, they couldn’t push back ahead. Mooney took away the 54-41 win.
Leading Mooney was Ashton O’Brien who scored 19 points. Mick Hergenrother wasn’t too far behind him, he was also in double figures with 17. Rocco Turner was the third Cardinal in double figures with 11.
South Range was paced by Ayden Leon with 10 points. Landon Moore put together a strong night with 9 points.

CANFIELD, OH- Saturday evening marked a historic event for South Range High School. For only the second time in school history, a team captured a state championship in sports. This time, it was the wrestling team who stunned all in attendance by holding the big trophy in Versailles.
Chris Colucci had the weight of the world on his shoulders in his match and needed a pin to finish the meet.
A pin is what he delivered, and led the celebration immediately following.
We caught up with the two gentlemen partially responsible for the championship wave the Raiders are riding: Michael Lally, and Chris Colucci, where we discussed the run up to the state duals, the legacy they’d like to leave, and what a win like this means for a program like theirs.
