MVP: Madison's Avah Newsome vs Clear Fork
"Shake it off" is what Avah Newsome told herself after letting one slip by her in the season-opener against Clear Fork, and the junior zoned -in and stopped an 11-goal onslaught from some of the fiercest Lady Colts!
We had a great time after the match catching up with Avah and learning more about the stud goal keeper!

2024 Mount Gilead Football Preview
The Mount Gilead Indians took a step back last year from its' 2022 State Playoff season going 3-7, but what doesn't show on the record is the fact the team was competitive in each of its 10 games which gives them confidence going into 2024.
"There's a lot of enthusiasm," said head coach Mike Reid. "Really good Senior leadership for a team that's been down for so long. There's an awful lot of enthusiasm in camp and the guys are working hard. They're trying their best to do things right all the time on and off the field so i'm really excited about that."
The Indians open up the 2024 season at home vs. Triad on August 23rd at 7:00 PM.

2024 Northmor Football Preview
The Northmor Golden Knights experienced one of its most successful seasons on the gridiorn in 2023 making it to the regional semifinals in D6 while finishing as KMAC runners-up.
Although they graduated some main pieces from that squad head coach Scott Armrose still has many key skill position players back for one more go-around.
"I like the way we've competed," said Armrose. "We've had an opportunity to play in some 7 on 7's and even today in practice against our scout teams. We have a lot of competition going on, so we've competed really well and the intensity is picking up."
The Golden Knights kick off the season on August 23rd at home against Upper Sandusky at 7:00 PM.

2024 Centerburg Football Preview
The Centerburg Trojans had a tough year in 2023 finishing 4-6 and barely missing out on the playoffs after a string of early-season injuries derailed their plans. However, head coach Andy Colella was able to give some younger players key playing time during the season that will help in a big way for the upcoming year.
"Number one is staying healthy," said Colella. "We gotta be able to do that so creating depth helps with that. Educating guys on how to take care of themselves, different habits of sleeping and nutrition is vitally important and then just being consistent. These older guys have experienced that so they've gotta lean on that a bit to teach the younger guys what success takes and how to do that."
The Trojans begin the season on the road at Utica on Friday, August 23rd at 7:00.

MVP: Poland Little League's Drake Vlosich vs Mason
"History don't repeat itself" and it seems to be the case for Drake Vlosich of Poland's little league team as they grinded out a fast-paced semi final against Mason 6-4.
The game was still anyone's in the 6th inning and that's when Drake's game-tying RBI single that sparked the 4-run rally in the top of the 6th.
Another night back at the "RRI" and Poland will face Cuyahoga Falls Saturday at 6p. If they should happen take down Cuyahoga Falls and double-header will take place with a champion being crowned.

Colonel Crawford 2024 Summer Football Preview
The Colonel Crawford football program is in the midst of their greatest stretch in school history. With 10 wins each of their last 3 years and an undefeated N10 championship season in 2020, expectations for the Eagles to clinch a 5th consecutive playoff berth are soaring into the 2024 campaign.
Key departures at pivotal positions will make for a much different-looking Crawford roster this season, so head coach Jake Bruner is giving opportunities to as many underclassmen as possible to see who's ready to step into roles at the varsity level.
"Today's our first day really getting after it with practice," Coach Bruner says. "We've only got eight seniors. So, we're a young team and right now we're just getting a lot of reps for a lot of kids."
Coach Bruner believes this year's group is very talented on the perimeter, but will need to develop given their lack of on-field experience. That's where seniors like Brady Hill and Kaden Bruner can shine in their new leadership roles to ensure that good times keep rolling in North Robinson.
"To be a senior on this team it means to be a leader and to help all the younger classmen out," says Brady Hill. "I'm really looking forward to this season and to be playing with my brothers out there."
"What it means to be a senior it means everything," Kaden Bruner added. "I'm so grateful for this opportunity and we have a bunch of young guys playing this year and they're excited for the season. If we can stay healthy and keep working hard each and every week and focusing on the team we have at hand we'll be very good."
The Eagles will enjoy six home games during the 2024 regular season beginning on Thursday, August 22 against River.

2024 Danville Blue Devils Football Preview
The back-to-back Division 7 regional runner-up Danville Blue Devils have been getting at it this summer as the KMAC champs, despite losing 11 players to graduation, are determined to keep the string of deep playoff runs going.
"Really pleased with our Senior leadership," said head coach Matt Blum. "They really busted their butt in the offseason. A lot of 6 AM lifts that these guys attended. We usually averaged over 40 guys at each lift. They're working towards one common goal and that's sustaining the standard this year so we obviously have a lot of high expectations and these guys are trying to live up to those."
The Blue Devils not only have some key positions returning, but have a large influx of Freshmen and Sophomores that plan on keeping the success going for seasons to come.
Danville opens up the 2024 season at home on August 23rd at 7:00 PM against Worthington Christian.
