Struggling Wildcats host rival Red Knights

RICHMOND — Last season, Edison left Clarke Hinkle Field with a 25-24 victory after a late goal-line stand broke the hearts of Toronto. As it turned out, a win in that game would have likely put the Red Knights in the playoffs. Nobody has to tell Toronto that, though. Josh Franke and ...

Agresta, Crusaders simply want to execute better

STEUBENVILLE — For Catholic Central coach Anthony Agresta, Saturday’s trip to Southern Local is all about execution. “We have to execute,” Agresta stressed following practice on Tuesday. “We haven’t done anything with our running game that isn’t extremely fundamental this week.
