HOWLAND — Steady, cold rain poured down on the boys clad in all-white uniforms. Their keeper, Michael Schwartz, did everything he could to keep every shot on goal from connecting with the intertwined white netting on one end of the bright, blue turf at Ravenna Stadium. It’s a familiar ...

INDEPENDENCE — Friday night wasn’t an ideal evening for quarterbacks. Blustering winds combined with bitterly cold conditions made for a miserable night to be throwing the ball around Independence High School’s Alumni Field. Apparently no one told that to John F. Kennedy’s Christian ...

LUCAS — McDonald High School football coach Dan Williams looked over his team in the postgame huddle. He wished it was a different result, so did his players. Senior speedster Cameron Tucker took the football from Dominic Schadl’s hands and started to head toward the Lucas sideline. ...

GARRETTSVILLE — The Garfield G-Men earned the first home playoff game in school history by finishing the regular season with a 9-1 record. The G-Men were seeded No. 3 in Division V, Region 17 and hosted sixth-seeded Sugarcreek Garaway (9-2) Saturday evening in Garrettsville. The ...

PERRY — There won’t be a return trip to the Division IV state championship game for the Girard Indians. The Indians ran into a buzzsaw against the Perry Pirates Saturday night at Alumni Stadium on the campus of Perry High School, as they fell 48-7 in the opening round of the Division IV, ...

MASSILLON — The confidence of the Massillon Tigers extends beyond the field and all the way to the press box. Late in the second quarter with the undefeated Tigers leading the Warren G. Harding Raiders by 27 points, the public address announcer informed the crowd at Paul Brown Stadium about ...

WARREN — It’s not a right of passage for the John F. Kennedy football team to be in the playoffs. It just seems that way since Jeff Bayuk took over six years ago. The Eagles are back in the postseason and hope to start another run as they travel to fourth-seeded Independence at 7 p.m. ...

WARREN — Massillon came into Mollenkopf Stadium in Week 3, displaying its offensive and defensive skills against Warren G. Harding’s football team in a 49-7 rout. Aiden Longwell had 200 yards passing and two scores. Longwell, a Kent State University baseball recruit, has more than 1,700 ...

After starting 0-2 and losing three of its first five games, it looked like McDonald would be sitting on the outside of the playoff picture, but the Blue Devils had other ideas. McDonald swept the month of October to get back above .500 and propel it up the regional rankings into the top ...

Among all area qualifiers, McDonald will make the longest first-round trip. The Blue Devils must make a two-hour, 120-mile trek to Lucas. The Devils (6-4) finished seventh in Division VII, Region 25 while the Cubs (8-2) finished second. “Obviously, this isn’t the best-case scenario for ...

BARBERTON — Sunday is reserved for football. Or “futbol” if you are following the Howland High School boys soccer team. The Tigers eked out a 3-2 win over Lexington in a Division II state semifinal Wednesday night at Rudy Sharkey Stadium in Barberton and will play Tipp City Tippecanoe ...

The Girard High School football program made history this season, and few outside the program have noticed. After being seeded fifth in Division IV, Region 13 last season and reaching the state championship game before losing 42-14 to Cincinnati Wyoming to finish 13-2, not many outside the ...

For a team that is now 20-0-1 and playing in its first final four, one would think that the journey wasn’t filled with obstacles and challenges. However, that isn’t the case for the Howland boys soccer team, which has overcome some issues and also needed a 1-0 shootout win (4-2 in penalty ...

The Garfield football team entered the season with a chip on its shoulder after two consecutive seasons without a playoff appearance. That chip fueled the G-Men to a 9-1 record, their best regular season since 2005, and they will be hosting the first playoff game in school history on ...
