Grand Finale for All Grand Finales

Game photos are here.

All the bickering, disagreeing, arguing, deceitfulness and posturing has finally reached an end for the Newbury Local School District.

It is now in its final season, and the focus needs to be on doing what is best for the students, who have been stuck in the crossfire for several seasons.

For posterity, the Black Knight sports teams still around, such as volleyball and football, are building a legacy many will be proud of for generations to come.

The night began with the football coach sharing how the last four years as coach have touched him. Others also spoke up, they shared a final Go Black Knights cheer, and then they went back outside to a huge crowd taking part in history.

Then came the first of several rounds of fireworks, getting everybody’s attention again. Memories were shared, tears were shed, and then something special came up.

A football game, the last one at Carl Munn Stadium, faced the Black Knights and Windham Bombers, a team that usually has given the Black Knights problems. Not on this night, though, as Newbury jumped out to a big lead early and never let up in the second half, playing their normal power running game that included zero passes.

With this, the Black Knights improved to 6-3 in their final season, setting up a possible, although doubtful, playoff chance should the Newbury ruffians dispatch of Vienna Mathews this week. So many other things must come into play for it to happen; Williams would love to see it, but won’t dare focus on it, either.

“My first thought is how happy I am now for our community and for our kids,” he said after the game as hundreds, or maybe even thousands, milled around on the field one last time after a group picture taken by several eager photographers. That Newbury had just won its last home game, 43-16, seemed to be on everybody’s minds.

“I am so proud to have been chosen to lead Newbury football the last four years,” Williams said. “Tonight, we just played good Newbury football. We minimized mistakes, made good plays in every area, and while I wish we had won a few more games here, to have a chance to finish up 7-3 this season says a lot about the dedication of the kids and their families, which is something I am humbled by.”

Ann Tropf was mingling before the game, along with a big bunch of other parents, bringing a positive note to what might have otherwise been a time of sorrow.

“I’m really going to miss being out here, ” she said. “This has really been a time of loving and working with so many others during my time with the school district. My son, John, has grown so much being part of it all, but once this school year is done, we just have to support the kids more when they move on themselves.

“This is such a bittersweet night, but also so much for all of us to be proud of.”

Susan Arnold must have walked several miles around the stadium complex greeting friends and people she may not even have known, with sons Noah and Evan on this year’s team.

“I’m just so proud of being part of all we have done here in Newbury,” she said between hugs for anybody who needed one. “This could have been very rough on the kids, and may still yet be hard for some to deal with, but most of the families I know and respect have been able to keep the lessons alive which we have tried to instill in the kids. They have kept up their passions for what they are living, and that will take them further down the road of life, which is most important for them. They need to keep working at all they do, they know it, and that is the biggest part of true education.”

Marty Sanders, a longtime resident and school board member, was able to smile, too.

“I’ve been involved in so many meetings,” he added. “Many concerns are not really being talked about. We really didn’t have a chance to vote as a community on the matter of saving or letting schools go, which I think is so wrong. But basically, now it’s done and we need to move on. There’s been a lot of deceit in the process, but now we need to just focus on taking care of all the kids who are stuck in the middle. They’ve worked hard and deserve the best we all can give them as they move to their own futures.”

The game itself had a little bit of everything one might expect of Newbury football, except a forward pass. When running the ball is working, why throw it?

Windham won the coin toss and deferred. Big mistake, Bombers. Newbury began its first drive on its own 26 yard line, and after a pair of first downs had put the ball into Windham territory, a holding penalty sent the Black Knights back to their own 45.

Normally a predictable team due to limited resources, like bodies on the field, Williams pulled out a bit of razzle dazzle, totally surprising everybody. Evan Arnold took a handoff from his brother, Noah, coming from the right side, and behind a wall of blockers that the Browns need to learn how to pull off. Arnold dashed, untouched, to the Bomber 2-yard line, and Noah took it in on the next play, the first of his four scores on the night.

Newbury then recovered an onside kick, but after that play ended, a confab of officials decided to give the ball back to Windham.

Having been awakened to Newbury trickery, they moved the ball to the Black Knight 12-yard line before a botched handoff sent them backward. On third down, Evan Arnold picked off a pass at his own 2-yard line to thwart the drive. Then, beginning on its own 15, with a 15-yard face mask penalty that happened on Arnold’s return, a Newbury 70-yard drive set up brother Noah’s second run for points, and the train was rolling.

Windham again got the offense rolling, moving 61 yards in 12 plays while eating up 10:05 from the clock. The Bombers drove again on their next possession, but Arnold stepped in front of a third down pass at the visitors’ 28-yard line and went untouched to the end zone. After Newbury took over on downs on the Windham 49-yard line with 4:57 left before halftime, Noah Arnold capped a nine-play drive with a three yard run, and a 29-8 lead looked pretty safe.

After a punt from the Bombers to open the second half, Newbury drove 61 yards in 10 plays, using over five minutes, for a commanding 36-8 lead.

Game over? Not quite. On its next possession, Windham drove again, but Monte Myers picked off a pass and dashed 48 yards to paydirt.

For the final points to be scored on Carl Munn Field in varsity competition, Newbury’s Josh Walker scored from a yard out with just over two minutes to play.

Noah Arnold had a night to remember. With 130 yards and four touchdowns scored, and four extra point kicks, he did it all, but was far from alone in building this triumph. He added eight tackles on defense. His brother, Evan, gained 114 yards on three carries, buoyed by those two long runs early and then his picks later. And the defense also stepped up for some big hits.

Tropf blasted blockers aside with ease, registering an unofficial total of 13 tackles, and his efforts, along with those of senior Mitch Sanders, who had a dozen stops of his own, with nine more from Julian Cicchella, made sure that the Windham players who move on in history will recall all the kids in black and orange who flattened anybody in sight in the last game on their field.

Two young women in Newbury colors also made their marks on the night.

HannaRose Brastoff, a senior, booted the extra point on the last Black Knight touchdown — and got in Newbury’s last play on offense near the end by taking the snap from center as quarterback and running for her life around end. Once she was tackled, the tackler, Chase Eye, took off his helmet and extended a hand for her to stand up again.

Breauna Thigpen got in a play at defensive back and put on a crushing blow to a runner on the last Windham scoring drive to stop a play. She went full force into the blocker, and was rewarded with a bell ring like any Jack Lambert delivered in his days at Crestwood High School and the NFL.

Then came more fireworks, all fans were invited onto the field for a real team picture, and a bittersweet night for so many came to an end, with few really wanting to leave the venue.

Former Black Knight Bill Ward, after touring the building again, especially after finding the plaque by the gym with his dad’s name on it as a school board member in 1963, was still smiling with pride but admitted he might shed a tear later.

“This is just something so many of us will miss,”he said. “But we have to admit, it’s time now, and we need to go on.”

A threat to the Berkshire Schools was overheard and reported by a student Oct. 30, but in a statement to parents, the district said an investigation found no substance to the claim.

“However we take all possibilities of violence very seriously and the investigation is still ongoing,” the statement said. “We will, as always, have our SRO deputy Supinski on site tomorrow along with an increased police presence to ensure the safety of our students and staff.”

In a phone call after the announcement, Superintendent John Stoddard said the school was never able to confirm a student actually made any threat.

“The student who reported didn’t know who he heard say it,” Stoddard said.

He added several students in the area were interviewed, but none of them heard a threat.

However, while it was unsubstantiated, his staff still took the threat seriously, he said.

“Even though we found it wasn’t true, we wanted to let parents know we heard it, we investigated it, we can’t find anything,” Stoddard said. “But just in case, we’re still going to have an extra (police) presence tomorrow morning.

Last week, Cleveland TV station Fox 8 designated Newbury High School as its “Cool School of the Week,” an honor voted upon by the station’s viewers. News anchor Roosevelt Leftwich interviewed students and staff at the school, portraying Newbury High School as “one big and busy family.” Leftwich said the school is unique because of its size, with less than 300 students, which allows everyone to participate in a variety of classes, sports and activities and interact with each other at all grade levels. “It has a long tradition of cheering everyone on,” Leftwich said.

Then there was the walk to the railroad station — ahead of schedule of course — for your next opportunity to catch a train. Your ticket was purchased at the window, then you...

Geauga County has long inspired pleasant Sunday drives through its pristine, peaceful landscapes, but underneath its rural charm is a secret history of not-so-peaceful moments — when organized crime from Cleveland, Youngstown and Pittsburgh spilled into the area. During the days of Prohibition in the 1930s, when organized crime “families” rose in power to provide thirsty Americans with alcohol, through illegal gambling and prostitution between the 1940s and 1960s, and into the more recent years of drug smuggling, the Mob provided illegal goods and services, often with the cooperation of politicians, law enforcement and even the courts. Many people got...

Thank you to all the participants who donated their time and talent to organize the event and decorate their trunks for the trick-or-treaters. Another big thank-you goes to student council members who made the school hallways look “spooktacular” with their homemade Halloween decorations.

Journey and Heroes

Eighth-graders participated in a Partners for Success and Innovation (PSI) program called Journey and Heroes last week. Students listened to a presentation and participated in several group activities designed to give them the opportunity to talk about relevant issues including making good decisions socially and emotionally, how to deal with peer pressure and gossip and how to find strong role models.

Students also discussed ways to support one another as they continue to navigate some of the pressures of growing up, standing up for what they know is right and continuing the journey of trying to be the good people God calls them to be.

The seventh-graders will also participate in a PSI program in November on healthy ways to deal with stress and suicide prevention.

Black Knights Tame Mustangs in Grand Finale

$

0

Last week, in their final home game as a school system, a huge crowd celebrated a big Newbury Black Knight victory.

This past Friday night, in the official finale on the gridiron, barring a miracle which would give them a playoff game to really go out in style, they did a total number on the Mathews Mustangs, ending the season with a 7-3 record that defies logic.

This gave this group of seniors 19 career victories, and they did the job in style in a 32-8 demolition.

“It’s hard to describe what this group of kids has accomplished,” coach Ryan Williams said among a small band of supporters, totally different from last week’s mob, perhaps due to the colder weather. “We ended up with 19 kids on the team, and nine of them are first-year players,” Williams said. “What they have done is amazing. The seniors won 19 games in their careers, and that’s better than most Newbury teams have done in nearly 40 years.”

Senior Noah Arnold again was the ring leader in this game. He ran for 146 yards and four touchdowns on 27 carries, and in moments when the defense gave him a moment to breathe, he passed for four completions for 89 yards as well.

The other seniors on the roster, Alex Bijelic, Thomas Bond, HannaRose Brastoff, Monte Myer, Jacob Orms, Mitch Sanders and Breauna Thigpen, all made big contributions. In past contests, we’ve heard of the exploits of most of them, but Thigpen has stepped up lately for her place in Newbury lore, and deeply appreciates being part of it all.

“This is my first year on this Newbury team,” she said after the game was over. Last week, in the team’s last home game, she had made a huge play, all listed 5-5 and 135 pounds of her, at the end of the Windham game as a pair of attackers came at her on a run around end. Not only did she blow the play up by driving directly into them, which was rough, but she got up quickly with the help of one of her opponents and everybody in the stands applauded her efforts.

“I was part of the team at Kenston last year, so I had a good idea of how to play the game,” she added of her state title teammates. “I had a really huge inspiration from what Anna Sanders got done last year, especially for her efforts in the state title game. Being the first girl to score points in a football game at the championship level really gave me confidence to try harder this year with this team. I owe anything I did to her example.”

Thigpen and Brastoff both were not afraid to stick their noses into the action when given the chance, and the respect of teammates and fans alike shows true unity among this tiny Geauga County contingent, to be merged with West Geauga next fall.

Meanwhile, this year’s teammates are thriving; the volleyball team also had a huge season.

Beginning on their own 46 yard line, it took only four plays for the Black Knights to light up numbers on the scoreboard. Noah Arnold, a name that those in the press box came to just figure was going to have a place in every Newbury action, broke up the middle and scored from 40 yards out for the first touchdown, then ran the ball in for the conversion with just 2:01 gone. He would add three more one-yard runs to paydirt in the game, kicking all the conversions thereafter

With many Mathews supporters marveling at all he did, when asked if he could do it going home, Arnold’s reply was quick and to the point: “If they want me to drive the bus, I’d give it my best shot to see what happens,” he smiled.

After his first three touchdowns in this game, he lined up with 4:14 left before halftime and sent a 32-yard field goal through the uprights for a 25-0 lead, and the only question remaining was how long it would take to bring a running clock into play.

That happened on the only score of the third period, on his third one-yard push to the end zone.

Mathews was constantly being caught out of position by the interior of the Newbury players. Led by John Tropf’s 11 tackles, many of the bone-jarring sort, Mathews only managed 129 yards of offense in the game.

They finally averted a shutout with 4:58 to play when Bryan Prentice got hold of the only real misplay of the night for Newbury, a fumble in the backfield, and took the ball 33 yards for a touchdown.

In the early going, whenever it seemed like Mathews had figured out how to slow the Black Knights down, Newbury had a big play to whomp them again.

Teammate Evan Arnold caught a trio of passes for 49 yards, but the contest basically came down to his relative Noah’s efforts in handling the ball to support his teammates, who had as crisp a night blocking as they have seen all year.

It was a spectacular way for the Black Knights to close out the deep history of Newbury football. Mom Susan Arnold was smiling broadly with pride for all of the players in black and orange and white. She knows it’s done for this sport, but looks ahead to what’s yet to come for these athletes.

“I just love all of these people so much,” she said. “We’re a big family with much to be proud of, and it’s an honor for me to be part of it.”

Heading into the game ranked 11th in state rankings, a spot in the top eight seems a long shot. Williams knows it, too.

“I really don’t think we’ll make the playoffs with so many factors of other teams being involved,” he said. “Miracles happen, but I’ve just been so blessed to be part of this special group of kids for four great years, I just can’t expect any more at this point.”

Toppers Clinch Playoff Berth With Win at North

For the fourth time in five seasons, Chardon clinched a spot in the playoffs with a 47-7 victory over Western Reserve Conference foe North.

Senior running back James Pettyjohn led the rushing attack, as the Hilltoppers (8-2, 6-1 WRC) outgained North by 157 yards, 351-194.

Meanwhile, the Chardon defense remained strong, shutting out the Rangers in the second half.

All year long, Chardon has not allowed any fourth quarter points.

On a night the defense played well, the offense played just as well.

“We played great defense all year and won the kicking game and did the same thing tonight,” said Chardon head coach Mitch Hewitt. “We’re getting better as we need to be in week 11.”

Pettyjohn carried the ball 20 times for 137 yards and three touchdowns.

Fellow senior running back D.J. Bowman had three touchdowns and junior quarterback Drew Fetchik, who came in briefly as a substitute for starter Joey Trivisonno, scored a touchdown as well.

The game was close at halftime, with Chardon up 14-7.

The Toppers got on the board first, thanks to a three-yard run by Bowman to start the second quarter.

North responded back as quarterback Chris Molica ripped off a 60-yard touchdown run.

With under five minutes to go before halftime, Fetchik scored on a 27-yard run.

Despite the score, the Toppers played efficiently in the first half, scoring on two of their three possessions. They took a knee on the non-scoring possession to send the game into halftime.

In the third quarter, the offense came alive with big plays.

Bowman found paydirt on a 33-yard run, and Fetchik busted off a 49-yard run, dragged down a yard shy of the goal line.

Short scoring runs by Bowman and Pettyjohn increased the score to 35-7.

Senior Brady Toth picked up a North fumble early in the fourth and Pettyjohn cashed in on his second touchdown of the game. On fourth down and 4, Pettyjohn took a handoff and ran around the right side into the endzone to make it 41-7.

This was the offensive performance the Hilltoppers needed, after scoring only one touchdown against Madison.

“We needed this one,” said Pettyjohn. “We’re going to be playing a tough team in week 11 and will not be playing a team like North.”

“Our line was moving people like they should and everything just clicked,” said Trivisonno.

One of the most noticeable differences in this game compared to the past few was penalties. Chardon did a better job staying focused, committing only three penalties for 20 yards.

Against Madison, the Toppers had 11 penalties for 93 yards and 10 penalties for 76 yards against South.

Both Pettyjohn and Trivisonno credited a good week of practice, including a drill called 10 perfect plays, for helping the offense stay focused.

“We’re a different offense when we take care of the football and don’t commit self-inflicted penalties,” said Hewitt.

Thanks to the big win against North, Chardon advanced to week 11, as the six seed in Division III, Region 9.

The Hilltoppers will travel down to Tuscarawas County to play Dover.

The Tornadoes locked up the three seed with a 34-28 win against New Philadelphia.

“I’m so glad we’re back,” said Trivisonno. “I can’t wait for practice.”

Close Game Ends in Kenston Loss

Anything a football fan could want was present in Kenston’s regular season finale — except for a victory for Bomber fans.

Kenston’s football team stood toe-to-toe with an unbeaten Mayfield team until the final minute of the game as the Wildcats prevailed, 24-21, Friday night at Bomber Stadium.

The loss cost the Bombers a share of the Western Reserve Conference, but the good news was that Kenston (8-2, 5-2) still earned a spot in the playoffs.

Kenston, the defending Division III state champion, is the No. 8 seed and will travel to play No. 1 seed New Philadelphia (9-1) at 7 p.m. Friday night in a regional quarterfinal game.

Oddly, the Quakers will be coming off a loss. New Philadelphia won nine straight to start the season before losing, 34-28, to Dover (7-3) to end their regular season. The victory lifted Dover to the No. 3 seed, and they will host Kenston rival Chardon (8-2) on Friday night.

Kenston coach Jeff Grubich said he was proud of how hard his players fought.

“I don’t question the players’ effort whatsoever,” Grubich said. “We ran into a great football team. They made a few more plays then us.

“We thought it would be a defensive battle, but it came down to whoever had the ball last.”

Grubich commented on the playoff atmosphere of the game.

“This was a playoff game,” Grubich said. “This was week one of our playoffs. They wanted to go 10-0. We’re the defending state champs.”

For Mayfield, it not only clinched a WRC title outright, but a perfect 10-0 season. The Wildcats will host fellow WRC member Willoughby South (6-4) in the first round, making four WRC teams playoff bound.

It seemed like the Bombers had snatched back momentum late in the fourth quarter. Tyler Mintz just returned a kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown with 4:42 left in the game. Then Jon Tomcufcik ran the ball into the end zone for a successful two-point conversion, which tied the game at 21-21.

Mintz had a big all-around night for the Bombers as he caught three passes for 47 yards, rushed six times for 53 yards, and had the big kickoff return along with his play on defense.

“Tyler had a tremendous effort,” Grubich said. “Our kick return team has been lethal all year. He played well on offense and defense.”

But the Wildcats had one last big drive. Mayfield quarterback Michael Huss connected on big pass plays of 35 yards to Ben Sherlock and 20 yards to Joey Isabella. Mayfield got down to the Kenston 1.

The Bombers kept the Wildcats out of the end zone, but Henry Pernsteiner kicked an 18-yard field goal for the 24-21 lead with just 32 seconds left in the game. The drive lasted eight plays and used up 3:54 of the clock, not to mention the last of the Bombers’ timeouts.

Mayfield coach Ross Bandiera talked about the final drive.

“We wanted to punch it in, but we did what we had to do,” Bandiera said. “Sherlock made a big play, and Huss made big plays.

“We knew it was going to be a battle because a team like that is so well coached. Number two (Mintz) is a great football player, and number three (Ja’Von Middleton) is very fast.”

Kenston had one last gasp as the Bombers took over on their own 43 with 29 seconds left to play. However, Tomcufcik’s desperation pass was intercepted by Timmy Steffens to seal the victory for Mayfield.

The first half was all about defense as the only score came on a Joey Suchy one-yard touchdown run with 23 seconds left in the second quarter. Mayfield led, 7-0, at halftime.

Suchy had a strong game for the Wildcats with 32 rushes for 125 yards.

There was a lot more offensive action in the second half. The Bombers got on the board, moving 80 yards in nine plays during their first possession. Jack Porter scored on a four-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 7-7 with 6:03 left in the third quarter.

It was tough sledding for Porter, who was held to a season low 43 yards on 17 attempts.

“At the half our coaches regrouped and the players executed,” Grubich said. “Their front seven is very good. We knew going straight at them would be very difficult, so we went to the edge. We were able to accomplish that.”

The Wildcats answered as Huss came alive in the second half. His 18-yard run on third-and-18 preceded a 22-yard touchdown pass to Isabella for a 14-7 lead with 1:35 left in the third quarter. Isabella, the younger brother of Arizona Cardinal receiver Andy Isabella, had a big night, catching six passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns.

At one point early in the third quarter, Huss was four-for-12 passing for 77 yards. But he got hot as he completed seven of his final eight passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. He finished 11-of-20 passing for 227 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Huss also rushed five times for 52 yards.

But the Bombers came right back with their own long touchdown drive. This time, they marched 77 yards in nine plays as Tomcufcik hit Ryan Miller with a five-yard touchdown pass with 10:01 left in the game. The point after resulted in a failed pass play, so the Wildcats still led 14-13.

The scoring continued as the Wildcats extended their lead to 21-13 on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Huss to Isabella with 4:55 left in the game.

That set up Mintz’s big kickoff return and the games final, dramatic moments.

Help Restore Livelihoods, Hearts & Minds

Can you imagine if your home was leveled by a category 5 hurricane? Your dwelling as well as many others wiped out. Walls collapsed, your possessions blown away, and yet you would consider yourself lucky to be alive.

Hurricane Dorian was the worst natural disaster ever to hit the Bahamas, with sustained winds of 185 mph. Residents are still in disbelief of the damage incurred by this catastrophe.

The Bahamas is a country of over 700 islands, but not all of them are the glamorous tourist resorts you see in travel brochures. Green Turtle Cay is 3 miles long, 1/2 mile wide with a small local population of 400-plus people. Homes are modest 3- or 4-room structures. Nearly the entire island was destroyed in the hurricane. Businesses are not functioning, taking away the livelihoods of most locals.

Several wonderful organizations have stepped in to provide food and health care, streets are being cleared and rebuilding is beginning, but life will not be normal for this small island and its inhabitants for a very long time.

We were asked to help collect the following items to help as they restore their town, livelihoods, hearts, and minds:

  • Single-serve Gatorade, electrolytes to keep workers hydrated
  • Tool belts
  • Work gloves
  • Socks
  • School supplies for children

Please drop off any donations to Travel Encounters, 8442 Mayfield Road, Suite F, Chesterland, OH 44026.

To schedule a drop-off time, call Josephine at (440) 729-2142 or email Josephine@travel-encounters.com.

Items will be accepted till Dec. 13.

A local company has generously offered to ship donated items to Green Turtle Cay on our behalf.

Thank you, in advance, for your kindness, donations and prayers.

Newlyweds Lose Everything in House Fire

The fire that broke out around 8:15 p.m. Nov. 1 at a home on Cedar Road in Munson Township was so intense, 14 departments responded to battle the blaze.

At the end of the night, two beloved dogs were gone, but the home’s human residents – newlyweds Bill and Jamie Mansfield – were spared. According to a fundraiser set up for the two, they were on a weekend trip when the fire broke out.

A GoFundMe site set up Nov. 8 by a concerned neighbor had received over $3,600 as of Nov. 11.

“Our neighbors Bill and Jamie had been married for only two weeks before an electrical fire destroyed their entire home on Nov. 1, taking also their two beloved dogs, Shadow and Trex,” the fundraiser said. “The fire destroyed virtually all of their possessions, including family heirlooms, project cars and years of painstaking home renovations and projects.”

The neighbor said a faulty drill battery charger likely caused the fire, adding all proceeds will go directly to Bill and Jamie, as well as their baby, due in the spring.

The Munson Township Fire Department received a call about the fire at 8:15 p.m. and arrived about eight minutes later to find the ranch-style home burning on three sides, and fire through half the length of the structure, according to officials.

All units left the scene by 12:30 a.m.

Mutual aid was offered by:

  • Chardon City Fire Department
  • Chesterland Fire & Rescue
  • Hambden Fire Department
  • Burton Fire Department
  • Montville Volunteer Fire
  • Concord Township Fire
  • Middlefield Volunteer Fire
  • Troy Fire Department
  • City of Kirtland Fire
