CARDINAL MOONEY FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER WITH PJ FECKO (EP 3)

/in /by

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.

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!

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

WAID-ING FOR HIS MOMENT

/in /by

When you walk into a football stadium in week 1, there’s going to be a buzz no matter the town you’re from.  When your once in a generation Quarterback passes for over 300 yards in the first half, that buzz becomes electricity.

Girard’s Mark Waid has been the talk of the town for as long as anybody can remember, but when talking to anybody, he’s first to shed the credit.  He praises teammates, coaches, and family before he even speaks of what he does.  As Waid heads into Week 2 against rival Hubbard, we caught up with him to discuss the game, the season, and the college recruitment process for him.

Our first Girard Player Profile of 2018 is Mark Waid: WAID-ING FOR HIS MOMENT 

 

HUMILITY IS EASY FOR JASON SANTISI

/in /by

One look at Cardinal Mooney Senior Jason Santisi, and you know you’re in for a tough game no matter what side of the ball you’re on.  For Football North St. Joe’s last Friday night, the smooth tailback with an even smoother last name torched them for 4 scores including a 90-yard kick return to put the nail in the coffin.

However, when the pads come off, this headstrong, humble young man is first to give credit to his teammates, his family, and all those around him.  Jason Santisi is quite naturally a great football player, but it’s the other aspects in life that make his rich family heritage so proud day in and day out.

We had a chance to catch up with Jason following his Week 1 standout performance, and YSN General Manager chats it up with Mooney’s Monster in the backfield in our first Player Profile for Cardinal Mooney Football: HUMILITY IS EASY FOR JASON SANTISI

WU IS PERFECT AGAINST YOUNGSTOWN, LIFTS CHINA TO VICTORY

/in /by

WASHINGTON, PA- Sin-Jie Wu earned the win for Chinese Taipei. He went five innings, allowing zero runs on zero hits, striking out nine and walking zero.  Colten Shaffer took the loss for Youngstown.  He surrendered four runs on two hits over five innings, striking out one and walking zero on 69 pitches (40 strikes.)  The game was only five innings due to poor weather from Monday’s schedule.  All 6 games today will be under the 5-inning schedule.

Chinese Taipei was sure-handed in the field and didn’t commit a single error. Chiu-Teng Chen had the most chances in the field with ten.

For Chinese Taipei, they were able to capitalize on errors by Youngstown as only 1 of their 4 runs were earned.  The victors will now wait to see who emerges from the Youngstown/Dominican Republic game this afternoon.  That game slated for 1pm.
