URSULINE IRISH FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP. 7) WITH DAN REARDON

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Ursuline Irish suffered a tough setback a week ago against a very skilled Akron St. Vincent St. Mary’s squad, falling to the Irish at Stambaugh Stadium 35-28. St. V’s did a very good job limiting Irish standout Christian Lynch on the ground, as Lynch only totaled 66 rushing yards on 24 carries, averaging just under three yards-per-carry. The loss was a great experience builder though for the Ursuline, as SVSM is one of the toughest teams in the state in Division II, currently boasting a record of 6-1.

Now looking forward to this week, it is another chance for Ursuline to get redemption against a squad that defeated them a year ago, Villa Angela-St. Joseph. The Vikings defeated Ursuline 46-28 last season, gashing the Irish for 475 yards of total offense. VASJ was able to run the ball very effectively in last year’s battle as they had three different guys rush for over 100 yards on the ground. This game will also be at a very cool site, with the Vikings hosting the Irish at Baldwin Wallace’s collegiate stadium on Friday night.

In this week’s coaches’ corner, Irish Head Coach Dan Reardon discusses the hard-fought loss a week ago to SVSM, looking back at last year’s loss to VASJ, what his guys are doing to prepare this week in practice, and much more!

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – Coming off a victory in one of the most thrilling games in the Mahoning Valley this season over Chaney, the Ursuline Irish need to turn the page quickly mentally as they face another very tough opponent this week that has given them trouble in the past in Akron St. Vincent St. Mary’s. St. V’s, also dubbed the “fighting Irish” have had their way historically with Ursuline on the gridiron, as the Irish have not taken down St. V’s in a decade. Both teams come into this battle with only one loss on the season, St. V’s loss coming to Glenville way back in Week 1 25-0, while Ursuline’s only blemish on their record came to the hands of Austintown Fitch back in Week 4, where the Irish fell 42-34.

In this week’s coaches’ corner, Head Coach Dan Reardon discusses last week’s thrilling victory, what to look forward to in this week’s matchup from both sides of the ball, and more!

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Ursuline Irish got back on track last week with a 28-14 victory over a very tough Warren G. Harding squad. The Raiders struck first after a very long touchdown by star quarterback Dalys Jett, but after that Ursuline settled in. Jack Ericson was very efficient through the air for the Irish, connecting on 16-of-20 pass attempts for two touchdowns through the air. Led by the passing attack, Ursuline was able to rattle off 28 unanswered points en route to their victory.

Now looking forward to this week, arguably the biggest game of the year in the Steel Valley Conference will take place as the Irish travel to Rayen Stadium to take on the undefeated Chaney Cowboys. Chaney, who was ranked 4 th in this week’s AP State Poll, knocked off the previously undefeated Canfield Cardinals 16-13 in a defensively dominated contest. The Cowboys will come into Friday night looking to knock off Ursuline for the first time since the resurrection of varsity athletics at Chaney in 2019.

Hear what Coach Reardon has to say about this week’s highly-anticipated matchup in our weekly Coaches Corner from the Golden Dawn!

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Every team will look good when winning, but you learn the most about what a team is truly built for when facing adversity. The Ursuline Irish could have easily waved the white flag last Friday night at Stambaugh Stadium as the Austintown Fitch lead blossomed to 42-7 after a 55-yard touchdown run with just under three minutes remaining in the third quarter. But that wouldn’t be the Ursuline way. The Irish were able to spark some momentum offensively, and after 27 unanswered fourth-quarter points, Ursuline found themselves trailing 42-34, with just under one minute remaining in the game, with an onside kick pending. Unfortunately for the Irish, Fitch would recover the onside kick and their comeback hopes would fall just short, as the Falcons would take two kneel-downs and escape with the victory in a battle of two of the area’s top programs.

There was a lot to be learned though from Ursuline’s effort on Friday night, as the Irish showed just how resilient of a bunch they are, and that there is a lot to look forward to as the season progresses. Head Coach Dan Reardon sat down with YSN’s Anthony Romo and Steve Leslie to discuss last week’s crazy game, what to look forward to in this week’s matchup with the Warren G. Harding Raiders, and much more in this week Coaches Corner brought to you by the Golden Dawn.

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The Ursuline Irish started the year off on a very good note in Week 1, defeating the Brookfield Warriors 52-14 in a highly anticipated matchup at Stambaugh Stadium. There were many new faces that stood out for a team that lost some of the most decorated athletes in program history after last year’s Division IV State Championship Game loss, a game in which Head Coach Dan Reardon stresses does too much overshadowing on a season in which the Irish did so much to return to the state title game for the first time since 2010.

Though Ursuline showed a lot of fans around the valley just what they could be capable of, they face a tough test in Week 2 as they will welcome Parma Padua Franciscan to Youngstown on Friday night. Coach Reardon discussed some of the threats that Padua brings to the field, as well as some of the things that the Irish will have to improve on heading into Friday night’s showdown.
