STEUBENVILLE — Continue to build the program — that’s the number one goal Catholic Central football coach Eric Meek will take with him into the off-season. “I think the kids learned what we want them to do this year,” said Meek, who guided the Crusaders to a 4-7 record and a spot ...
RICHMOND — The Edison football team had the best season in school history, however, it ended in disappointment. This season, the Wildcats won the OVAC Class 4A title, went undefeated in the Buckeye 8, won 10 straight games for the first time, won 10 games for the first time and went ...

The annual clash between rivals from schools separated by less than 10 miles kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Brooke Memorial Stadium.

The Red Riders (6-3) sit in a slightly better position at 16th, the final playoff spot, in the Class AA rankings, but Friday is their last chance to add to their point total as ...
