SPARTANS FALL ON THE ROAD TO HARDING

/in /by

WARREN, OH- Boardman continues to plow through the challenging schedule that was put before them prior to the 2021 season.  If you’re judging based on wins and losses, Boardman is still showcasing a winning record, and are keeping games competitive even on the wrong side of the scoreboard.  Unfortunately for Boardman faithful, this was again the case on Friday night against rival Warren Harding in a 21-10 loss.

The Spartans look like a crisp, complete team when they can steer clear of costly penalties and drives that stall out.  The Spartans were penalized on six different occasions worth 45 yards, while the offense started drives, but couldn’t put the finishing touches on, including a drive that ended on the opposing 11-yard line when the Spartans were stopped on fourth and short.

Sean O’Horo toted the rock 23 times for 80 yards on the ground, while Anthony Hightower pulled in 7 passes for 85 yards.  Terence Thomas helped the offense account for 259 yards on the offensive side of the ball including running for 61 yards, himself.

Boardman (4-3) will now look to bounce back against Ursuline on Friday at Stambaugh Stadium.  The game will be broadcast on YSNLive.com

BENEDICTINE FINISHES STRONG TO BEAT SPARTANS

/in /by

EUCLID OH- It was a close game at the half on Friday night between Boardman and Benedictine. At the break, the Spartans trailed 10-7. However, a flurry of second half points for Benedictine would spell doom for the Spartans. The Bengals outscored Boardman 28-13 in the second half to walk away with a 38-20 win.

Benedictine remains undefeated on the season at 5-0 while Boardman drops to 4-2.

Boardman’s schedule doesn’t get any easier. The Spartans will stay on the road in Week 7 heading to Warren Harding.

CANFIELD NOT TOO PLEASANT TO SPARTANS

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- Canfield welcomed in Mount Pleasant on Friday for Week 6 action. However, Canfiekd was not a pleasant host to the Spartans as they dominated them in a 35-7 win.

Broc Lawry continued to put together impressive performances. He threw the ball extremely well, and spread the ball out to a multitude of receivers. Lawry found Toby Smith for a touchdown. Smith and his fellow teammates on defense held down the Spartans offense for just 7 points the whole game.

It will be a big test next for the Cardinals as they host Austintown Fitch in Week 7.
