NORTH JACKSON OH- The Blue Jays saw themselves struggle with Waterloo just a week ago. Last Monday the two teams battled in a five set thriller that the Blue Jays barely pulled out. What a difference a week makes. They dominated the Vikings on Monday night in a sweep (25-11 25-11 25-16).

It was all about the middle blockers in set one as Logan Grunder set the tone. She was responsible for 5 of the Blue Jays first 7 points. Her counterpart Kara Costello also has a great first set in the front row.

As the match went on, the outsides of the Jays got more involved Kelsie Taylor came on strong in the second set to help the Blue Jays Dominate.

Jackson Milton did have to battle a shaky start to set three. They found themselves down 10-8, but then the rattled off 6 points in a row to take control of the set.

Grunder led the Jays in kills, getting into double digits with 10. She also was great with her defense collecting 6 blocks.  Taylor managed to grab 8 kills after not recording one in the first set. Paige Grope did a great job setting as she tallied 20 assists. Kailee Davis led the back row with 8 digs.

Kyleigh Eddy was impressive for Waterloo. She did a little bit of everything for the Vikings whether that be setting, hitting from the outside, or attacking out of the middle. She finished with 5 kills.

/in /by

SALEM, OH- The South Range Boys were looking to get revenge on Waterloo after a first toughloss early on in the season. Waterloo had other ideas and defeated the Raiders, 64-46.

Waterloo started off quickly taking an 8-1 lead early in the first and progressively poured it on throughout the game. South Range could hardly get any momentum due to the struggle of missing shots and foul trouble. Kyle Shockley was a dominant presence for Waterloo on both sides of the ball causing havoc for the Raiders. South Range got the game to a 12 point differential at the end of the 3rd to try to spark a comeback in the 4th quarter, but were unfortunately unsuccessful.Kris Scandy led the Raiders with 12 points including a pair of 3’s. Eli Taylor added 9 points off 2 3’s for the Raiders. Also, Jake Gehring and Chris Brooks contributed 8 points a piece for South Range. For Waterloo, Shockley was the top scorer on the night with 31 points, 9 which came from 3 pointers. Also, Caleb Francis put up 20 points to help push the Vikings to a victory.

The Raiders finish their season at 16-9.

Congratulations to South Range on a great season and goodluck to all of the Raider seniors in the future! Stay tuned for tournament updates on YSN.

BULLDOGS SURF THROUGH WATERLOO

/in /by

EAST PALESTINE OH- it was the battle at Waterloo that went down as the historic defeat of Napoleon, and on Wednesday night East Palestine narrowly escaped a defeat by holding off the Waterloo Vikings 58-50.

East Palestine came out swinging. They rattled off 21 points in the first quarter to jump out to a 21-11 lead after one frame. In what would be a theme all night Waterloo would surge back into the game with help from their perimeter shooting. Waterloo has the lead 26-24 with less than a minute to go in the second quarter. Then a huge swing of events went in favor of Palestine, they hit a deep three and then quickly caused a turnover and hit a layup to go up 29-26 at the half.

The third frame much like the first belonged to the Bulldogs. They opened the third quarter scoring four points and going back ahead by seven. They’d end up with an eight point 42-34 lead after three. Palestine held that lead for a big section of the fourth frame, until Waterloo once again made a late surge. They cut a 54-45 lead to 54-50 with about 1:30 to go. The Bulldogs showed great resilience in handling the late momentum swing and scoring the last four points of the game. They escaped the upset, and picked up a massive win for a program that was hungry for a tournament victory. East Palestine is just the third team to beat Waterloo this year when the Vikings score 40 points or more.

Kenzee Johnston led with 16 points for the Bulldogs. Joclyn Fristik finished with 15, and Morgan Rutledge added 14.

The Bulldogs advance to play at South Range in the sectional finals on Saturday at 1:00.

SHOUT OUTLOUD; REBELS PUNCH TICKET TO DISTRICT FINAL

/in /by

SALEM, OH- The Crestview Volleyball program hasn’t won a district championship in three seasons. That was when the current senior class were freshman. The hungry group got one step closer Wednesday night with a three-set win over Waterloo. (25-20 25-19 25-16).

In set one Crestview had to navigate some tightness. Waterloo jumped out to an early lead with the help of several unforced errors. After a timeout, the Rebels stepped up their game. Tess Neville carried the Rebels through with 5 kills in the set. Once Crestview caught their stride, there was nothing Waterloo could do. Set one went to the Rebels by a score of 25-20.

The Rebels continued to dominate as set two went on. The Rambo sisters caused havoc in the front row. With a combination of them, Neville, and Molly Emch the impressive blocking of Waterloo was stretched too thin. Emch was given plenty of one on one opportunities and won most of them. Rebels rolled again in set two 25-19.

By set three Waterloo’s fatigue got the better of them. They had been chasing the Rebel hitters across the net all night and now they just couldn’t get into position. The Rebels took full advantage of this and kicked their aggressiveness to a new gear. They caught the Vikings on their heels and finished set three, and the sweep quickly 25-16.

The Rebel kills were well spread out, Shelby Rambo led with 10 kills, her sister Sidney had 8. Three Rebels finished with 7 kills. Tess Neville added 2 aces. Molly Emch along with her 7 kills had 3 blocks. Brenna Auer added 8 digs to her 7 kills. Lucy Montgomery finished with 29 assists and 3 digs. Amelia Montgomery finished with 12 digs.

REBELS ROLL, ESKRA CROWNED 3-POINT QUEEN

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- The Crestview Lady Rebels advanced to the sectional finals Wednesday with a 55-33 win over Waterloo.

The Rebels set the tone from the tip as they started the game on a 22-0 run through a quarter and a minute. 3 different Rebels hit a three in the first quarter. Mara Hallas was a big reason Rebels were getting open as she tallied 4 assists in just the first frame.  

The Rebel domination continued throughout the game as they got solid contributions from Peyton Huff and Tanner Hoffer down low. Haley Eskra complimented their post dominance with a prolific night from the perimeter, putting in 3 three-pointers in the first half alone.

Eskra was a shooter on a mission as she came into the night needing just 5 threes to tie the school record for threes in a season. She hit her 5th three late in the 4th quarter and time for her to break the record on her home floor was running short. Crestview got the ball with about 47 seconds left in the game. Eskra took a shot from the wing and missed it but it deflected off a Waterloo defender and back into her arms. She made a step back move and put a shot up with 20 seconds on the clock and it was a no-doubter.

It was Eskra’s 6th three of the night and her 48th of the season, breaking the previous record of 47.

The Rebels went on to win 55-33. Haley Eskra led the way with 20 points while Peyton Huff added 13.  Tanner Hoffer was also in double figures with 10 points and led the team in rebounds with 6. Mara Hallas had 8 assists.

The Rebels move on to play at Ravenna Southeast on Saturday at 1:00 in the sectional finals.
