Ursuline & Cardinal Mooney prospects for 2025

In the years that you listed Ursuline is 17-5 in playoff games. You know only 7 teams every year don't lose playoff games right? 99% of the teams in the state would kill to be 17-5 in the playoffs over a 5 year span. Pretty foolish take if you ask me.
A program that can recruit and handpick their talent and they can’t win state against real talent in DIII.

Ursuline isn’t even a challenger in DIII. If they even make it to play TCC they lose by 29. Don’t let Jaws fool you. They are smoke and mirrors until someone who knows how to actually play football beats them.

It’s TCC and Watterson. End of story.

Did you just reply to your own post? Smoke and mirrors beat the team( 54-0 btw) that beat the team that beat you. What does that say about them Hilltoppers?

I think you are hanging around my boy @NEOne and drunk posting or something.
 
Your big mouth starter this bringing up a fight at Mooney which wasn't any kids from Mooney then u said it happen there why bring that up it serves no purpose. and by the way your not Marion locale maybe u can win the big one this yr.

What?
 
Has Chardon been 17-5 in the playoffs? The Hilltoppers could have scheduled Ursuline in the week 4 slot, the Irish wanted the game. There was some half baked excuse that they would only schedule one game outside their region and Mooney already filled that slot. Ursuline readily scheduled Chardon during the lean years on Bryson Street. When teams are up against the wall vs. Ursuline they pull out the worn and tired "they recruit" excuse to avoid UHS. By the way TCC & Watterson also are regularly criticized for "hand picking" players.
Chardon was 20-3 in the playoffs from 2020-2024 (5 years).

Such an angry person... I'll pray for you:)

Chardon scheduled Ursuline (and beat them) the year they were state runner up. Is that considered a lean year?

Jaws I wish Ursuline the best as well as Mooney and Kennedy, but don't talk @hit on here. You have more class than that.
 
Who will be replacing DC? Camuso?
I believe there are around 3 players competing.
George Camuso (6’2,195) an up and coming Soph is one of them, Lucas Mineok (6’0, 192) is an up and coming Jr (he was behind DC but then got injured during the season) and I think there is a transfer from canfield but I dont know his name or information.
 
It was announced yesterday that Chaney & East will merge on the East High campus in (I believe) the 2026-2027


2 Youngstown high schools to merge​

Districtwide building reconfiguration to begin in 2026​

Youngstown City School's East High School will absorb students from Chaney High School for one common traditional high school for the city. Fifty years ago, the district had six high schools.

YOUNGSTOWN ‑– The Youngstown City School District will implement a two-phase reconfiguration project and development initiative in which Chaney and East high schools will be merged into one central school.


The first phase will get underway in the 2026-27 school year, district Superintendent Jeremy Batchelor said during a news conference Friday afternoon at Youngstown Rayen Early College High School, 20 W. Wood St.

“This is a pivotal moment in the journey of the Youngstown School District,” Batchelor told a standing-room-only crowd of several dozen.

The single high school, which will house students in grades nine to 12 but has not been named, will be in the current East High building, 474 Bennington Ave., on the East Side. That location will be an excellent fit because it has relatively new athletic fields, ideal learning spaces and enough capacity to handle the number of students the merger will bring under one roof, he said

Massimo Furr. I'm not sure of his actual size stats but I would guess 6'1". He wrestled in the 215lb class though. Big strong kid. In fact all three are big strong kids. I expect that whoever isnt a the starter at QB will be contributing somewhere. Camuso is a very good LB. I could see Mineok at Saftey. Both were really good on special teams.

You also have Partrick Reardon coming up as a freshman. He played QB for the Saints last year and has good speed. He qualified for Jr. High states in the high hurdles yesterday.

I question what this does for athletics, I’m guessing D1 or maybe 2 for football. Who gets to coach? Curious about BB and track also… I find this odd
IT was mentiined in an article that they will be a smaller D2 for football. Basketball will be interesting. Both schools are non factors in track for some strange reason. It wasnt that long ago that both schools had decent sprinters, especially East girls
But for the purpose of this thread the merger can be intruiging. This is different from before, where just the athletic teams merged and people still actually went to Chaney. There will only be 1 junior high ( also on the East Side). Will parents pull kids out after the 6th grade? If so, where will they go? The 2 parochials? Valley Christian? Lowellville? Other places? There will be a sugar high in the 1st year, then attrition just like last merger

Oldsters like me recall the great days of Youngstown City Series football. From September to November The Youngstown Vindicator had an entire sports page featuring the upcoming games (Monday editions was City Series and Tuesday editions was Steel Valley Conference). Coaches were interviewed on those pages regarding prospects for the upcoming weekend. Friday's papers, too, spilled a lot of ink on what would be happening that night and Saturday's more than one page told the tales of the night before. Fall meant high school football in the Mahoning Valley. Neighborhoods were saturated with rivalries and bragging rights. Family gatherings saw it, too. I recall driving down Market Street from South stadium in Ursuline cars traveling north celebrating, with beeping horns, a big win over South while Mooney cars were passing us from Rayen, doing likewise, letting all know with red & gold crape and red and gold shakers that the Cards had bested East. One year we passed a bus with North High players aboard, ecstatic having just beaten Woodrow Wilson to snap a long, long losing streak. On any given night in Youngstown... Now there will be one public high school... so hard to fathom.
