URSULINE COACH’S CORNER WITH LARRY KEMPE (EP 6)

Progression is the name of the game right now for our Irish!  It was so obvious last Friday that the Ursuline Irish are turning the corner.  They brought the battle right to the front door of the Louisville Leopards and came up just short of their first victory.

The Irish have grown leaps and bounds over the last 6 weeks and now prepare for their first home game of the season.  NOTHING gets the team over the top like a little home cooking!

How does Coach motivate the team going into the backstretch?  What can be learned from last week, and pushed toward Bishop Watterson this week?

COACHING IS A SILVER LINING FOR MCCLOUD

When we mention nearly every week the tradition, respect, and legacy that families have at Cardinal Mooney, it’s not just smoke and mirrors.  This week for our Coach’s Corner, we focus on Brendan McCloud who is the Offensive Line Coach for the Cards.

Coach McCloud talks about growing up in the Cardinal Mooney family, watching the program all his life, and now the opportunity to coach with his good friend, PJ Fecko.  Twenty four years later, McCloud still roams the sidelines teaching the next generation of lineman the Mooney Way.

Many memories, many conversations all point to this great interview with YSN Steve Leslie, and Brendan McCloud as they talk about the tragedies and triumphs over the years at Cardinal Mooney.  This week’s Cardinal Mooney Coach’s Corner is: COACHING IS A SILVER LINING FOR MCCLOUD and is PROUDLY Sponsored by M.P.

HERE WE JORNIGAN

When opposing defenses look at tape on Cardinal Mooney, they see speed, they see power, they see talent, and then they see the mountain at left tackle who protects the quarterback’s blind side.  Mooney Senior, Kyle Jornigan, is quite simply a force.  Except with his superhuman stature, and freakish athletic ability- you’d need the National Guard called in order to get past this young man.

He’s the anchor of the offensive line, and his calm demeanor off the field and beast-like motor on it creates the perfect storm for the next level of football.  While he’s here though, he wants to help right the ship for the Cards and help Mooney return to their home in Week 11.

URSULINE FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH LARRY KEMPE (EP 5)

Weather wreaked havoc all across the Valley last Friday, but none more than the Irish and Raiders facing off in Warren.  The game was postponed Friday night, forcing the Irish to come back on Saturday at 1pm to battle one of the area’s top teams.

Coack K was able to keep the team focused during the game, but the Irish came up short again against their cross-town rivals.

What does the Coach take away from a situation out of the control?  What can be learned from last week, and pushed toward Louisville this week?

NOT JUST ANOTHER DAIVON

Ursuline has long been known to have top-tier football players and student-athletes, but if you look a little closer, they’ve been Runningback High for as long as anybody can remember.

Junior Daivon Jones has arrived and is ready to make his mark on the history books.  Speed like lightning, and power like thunder, Jones has the capabilities to take over a game behind his powerful line!

CARDINAL MOONEY FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH PJ FECKO (EP 4)

If you’ve ever been inside the gymnasium at Cardinal Mooney, it serves as a constant reminder of rich winning tradition everywhere you look.  Quite literally, the walls are blanketed in championship banners from pillar to post.

The 2018 Cardinals have been tasked with adding to those walls under one of the toughest schedules in the state of Ohio.  They have yet to blink.  Sure- they want to win, but humble warriors in defeat are the most dangerous of all.

The Cards look to bounce back after a tough loss to Akron St Vincent-St. Mary’s last week, and are dialed in for Week 5!

Head Coach PJ Fecko sits down with our Steve Leslie to discuss the opportunities ahead for the Cards in this week’s Cardinal Mooney Coach’s Corner!

URSULINE FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH LARRY KEMPE (EP 4)

With a young squad, it’s imperative that a team becomes battle-tested early!  That’s exactly what Coach Kempe’s troops are doing.

It’s been a tough few weeks, but the short memories will prevail in the end.  The Irish scored a pair of touchdowns late on Saturday night, and have a great string of success on tape.

Coach Kempe sits down with YSN General Manager, Steve Leslie to discuss the X’s and O’s, and the importance of the education the kids are getting at Ursuline.

JOHNNY BE GOOD

The Cardinals are looking to fly high once again, and it all starts and stops at quarterback.  Luckily for Coach Fecko and Cardinal Mooney- they’ve got a great one.

Not only great on the field, but an absolute stand-up young man off the field.

Our Steve Leslie sits down with John Murphy to discuss everything in the playbook, as well as some stuff you’ll want to hear to get a little better understanding of the great character that comes from Mooney’s QB1.

What’s it like to have a great support system?  What’s Johnny’s favorite food?  What teams does he follow?

All that and more, on this week’s Cardinal Mooney Player Profile: JOHNNY BE GOOD!
