NILES — Despite a huge discrepancy in shots on goal, the Champion Golden Flashes boys soccer team defeated the Niles Red Dragons, 2-1. The first was all about Niles (0-1) as it controlled the ball in its offensive zone for a lot of the time. Unfortunately for them, it never resulted in a ...
NILES — Jim Parry felt the cement steps guiding his path, history surrounding him among the red painted metallic bleachers incrementally moving up toward the top. The direction was clear as he made his way more than halfway up the west (home) side of Bo Rein Stadium, just off to the right of the two-tiered press box. Parry found the particular area, sat down and reminisced. “My dad (Jim) was a season-ticket holder for 30 years here,” said Parry after being named Niles McKinley High School football coach. “I sat down in his seats for a little bit and soaked it all ...
MINERAL RIDGE — Half way around and in the first of two groups, Nathan Chiclowe is among 10 or so teammates running on the all-weather track. An assistant football coach starts yelling, “24, 25, 26” from the middle of a roped-off field. A yellow sign said it was being re-sodded. It’s conditioning.

Huh, not just a cliche. “It sucks right now,” said Chiclowe just after sprinting halfway around the track. His play? Not so much. Chiclowe is a defensive ...
WARREN — A pair of teenagers face a number of charges after a Tuesday morning police chase on the city’s northwest side.

NILES — The head of Avon Local Schools in Lorain County, which passed a substitute levy in November, said financially distressed Niles City Schools has the right idea in approaching one here. The Niles City School District is the first district in Trumbull County to approach a substitute levy — a tactic that allows districts to combine emergency levies up for renewal into continuous levies that generate the same amount of money in the first year and possibly additional revenue in subsequent years if there is new construction in the district, according to the Trumbull County ...
NILES — Youngstown resident Amber Farris has been named the new director at the McKinley Birthplace Museum. Farris, who began her duties in May, said she will focus on programming and reaching out to the people of Niles. “I want to bring the museum into 2018. There are people who do not even realize there is a museum here,” Farris said. “When people come to the main door and look inside, they see an auditorium. We are doing a campaign to change that.” A new museum logo will be part of the changes, she said. Farris received her bachelor’s degree in art history and ...
