Ohio All Star game: North 39 South 18 (Div1-3)
May 1, 2022 | contributor
At one time, this was one of the biggest and best all-star games, not only in Ohio but the nation. Nowadays, like most all-star games, the so-called “bigger-name” players elect not to play, afraid that they could be hurt and miss getting their start at the next level. For those players brave and dedicated enough […]

The Rebels and Yellowjackets both left everything on the field in this one with both teams coming up with some of the hardest jits I have seen all year long. The biggest difference in this one was Gus Morrison, who had a monster game. He rushed for 178 yards and four touchdowns and caught five […]

December 5, 2021 | contributor
My first high school football game was back in 1976 and though I have seen many things in all of the games I have attended until yesterday I had never seen one player score eight touchdowns in a single game. Well, Hudson Clement changed all that and did so in an amazing way. The senior […]

Last night Fairmont Senior showed just how important the little things are in their nine-point win over a hard-nosed Independence Patriots team. The difference was the ability the Polar Bears had in kicking point after attempts with Trey Longwell connecting on all three kicks, while Atticus Goodson missed his only attempt forcing the Patriots to […]

November 30, 2021 | contributor
This was a defensive battle for the entire first half as neither team was able to put up any points. This really was not a big surprise being Andrean had allowed only 13.8 points a game heading into this one, while Mater Dei had given up just 14.4 points per game. Tyler Martin the tackling […]

November 28, 2021 | contributor
Early in this one, it was mostly Adams central as they twice led by fourteen points but Lutheran would regroup at the half and come back out and show the large crowd why they were undefeated on the season as they slowly battled tying things up after three-quarters of play. The winning score came with […]

This was one of those games that never left any doubt about who the better team was, that being powerful Van Meter. What the score won’t tell you is what a never quit keep your head up attitude Beckman showed in the loss. Both teams from my eyes seemed to play clean, hard and show […]

Yesterday I made another drive to Bellaire, Ohio to watch the Big Reds of Bellaire battle Columbiana Crestview in a first-round playoff game. This marked my first time seeing Crestview play and I have to say they were a well-prepared hard-hitting team that was fun to watch. Anthony Cusich would hit Jack Yerkey for a […]
