SEBRING, OH- It’s been over a month since the last time Coach Seidel sat down with YSN, and oh how things have changed.

New restrictions, new schedules, new implications, and yet the focus remains the same in Trojan Country: #ForTheHonor.

The Trojans have their minds locked in on changing the image of the program, and Coach Seidel is leading the charge.  Equipped with some new weapons that will add to the overall speed for the Purple and Gold, Sebring is guaranteed something that they’ve longed for as far as the program has existed: a trip to the playoffs.

What are some of the thoughts that will run through Coach Seidel’s mind prior to kickoff?  How do you shift focus from one team to another in less than two weeks?

Check in with YSN’s DJ Yokley, and Coach Matt Seidel as they discuss opening week in Sebring!

SEBRING, OH- On every team, there’s one player that gives it all for the greater good.  A player that will put his time in the spotlight on hold in order to help the team get stronger in other areas.  For the Sebring Trojans in 2020, that’s senior, Frankie Lozoya.

Lozoya is a converted offensive and defensive lineman who is versatile enough to be a slash player if the situation calls for it.  Originally a fullback and tight end, Coach Seidel asked Lozoya to move to the trenches to help bolster a line that needed size.  Quickly, Lozoya fell into the favor of his teammates who unanimously voted him as one of the team captains for the season.

We visited Frankie virtually and discussed his teammates, the Trojan Legacy, and his future plans.

FALCONS FIGHT BACK; LAST PLAY GETS AWAY

/in /by

AUSTINTOWN, OH – On a night where Erie McDowell, a perennial Pennsylvania powerhouse, was supposed to punch the clock on a business trip to the Valley, the Austintown Fitch Falcons gave them a tour of what “Grit City” is all about.

Coach Elliot’s squad trailed 31-13 in the third quarter before the Falcons clawed their way back in it and eventually took the lead with 1:20 left in the fourth quarter 35-31. But in the end, it was the Trojan offense that proved to be too much for the Falcons as they marched down the field, 65 yards, to take the go-ahead touchdown with 16 seconds remaining, 38-35. Even then, Fitch was able to muster a dramatic drive to end it, as Devin Sherwood heaved up a prayer with no time remaining from thirty yards out, on a ball that was batted around and was eventually called incomplete in the back of the end zone by the back judge, who claimed it hit the ground.

Austintown was led through the air by Devin Sherwood with 17 completions on 27 attempts for 325 yards and 5 touchdowns. Austintown was led on the ground by Devin Sherwood with 18 carries for 48 yards. Austintown’s top receivers were Nate Leskovac with 6 reception for 86 yards, Jaden Murray with 2 receptions for 79 yards and 2 touchdowns, Donnie Ellis with 2 receptions for 70 yards, and Todd Sims 3 receptions for 56 yards and 2 touchdowns. Fitch was led on defense by Nate Leskovac and Shawn Mayes with 7.5 tackles each, Chris Scott with 5.5 tackles, Christian Armstrong with 4.5 tackles, Neshawn Cochrane with 4 tackles, and Joe Perez with 3 tackles.

Fitch now begins preparation for their week nine matchup against the Boardman Spartans at Spartan Stadium. Spartans will be heading into week nine coming off a 34-19 victory over the Ursuline Irish.

RUN FOR FUN, BEARS PLOW PAST SEBRING 28-6

/in /by

LEETONIA, OH- Leetononia Football Coach Paul Hulea wanted to set the tone on the 2019 football season from the first snap, and on Thursday night, his Bears did just that defeating Sebring 28-6.  The offensive and defensive front for Leetonia was outstanding all night.  The defense was in the Sebring backfield early and often, and despite his best efforts, Sebring Senior QB Zane Peterson was held in check most of the night.  Peterson ended the night with the only points of the night for the Trojans on a QB scramble that found paydirt.

Offensively for Leetonia, Junior- Marco Ferry had 236 yards rushing and 3 Touchdowns for Leetonia to lead the way to victory.  The highlight of the night was the 87-yard romp from Ferry to start the fourth quarter and seal the deal for the Bears.

Defensively,  Mike Miller gave the Trojans fits with 3 tackles for loss, while Jaedon Finley pulled in an interception.

Leetonia will travel to Mathews to take on the Mustangs in Week 2.  We will have you covered on the road with YSN.
