Rootstown boys soccer state semifinal vs Norwayne High School

TWINSBURG — Rootstown's boys soccer state debut got off to a tough start. Norwayne controlled the start, setting the tone with two goals in the first 19 minutes, then added a goal right before and another after the intermission. How would the Rovers, who led virtually the entire postseason until then, respond? Rootstown responded with 35 minutes of inspired soccer to close its historic season, ultimately falling 5-2 to Norwayne in a Division V state semifinal Nov. 11. "You can't find a better class of kids that put the work ethic in and all that," Rovers coach Charlie Voth said. "They really worked hard." The Rovers' rally included a goal apiece from seniors Zach Pastor and Bryson Scarlett. Pastor's goal put him at 107 for his career, extending his Portage County record. "If I had a chance to take it back for the win, I would do it in a heartbeat," Pastor said. "It still means a lot being number one, but I would put it all away for this class and moving to the state championship." It was a record-breaking season for Rootstown (17-3-2) in multiple ways, as the program broke through for its first regional championship with a

Dalton tops Hillsdale in five-set regional championship thriller

BARBERTON - Dalton coach Amanda Clear didn't have to say much to her team after taking an early timeout in the third set. Pitted against Wayne County Athletic League rival Hillsdale in a Division VI regional championship on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Barberton High School, the Bulldogs found themselves in a 9-0 hole after the Falcons evened the match taking the second set. "They needed to make a choice," Clear said. "We’re fighting to go to the state championship, I don’t feel like we needed much more motivation than that. "On the court after that timeout, they were like — this is what we’re going to do. Yeah, it was a timeout, but it was also them taking initiative and them taking responsibility and saying — we’re going to change this." STATE XC: Lexington's amazing journey leads to Division II state runner-up finish Just when it seemed like Hillsdale had the momentum, Dalton settled in and proceeded to go on a 25-11 run to steal away the third and take a 2-1 lead in the match. And despite dropping the fourth, the Bulldogs remained composed and won the match in the fifth — 25-25, 22-25, 25-20, 22-25, 15-12 — for

Chippewa's defensive activity swarms Hiland, heading to third straight state final

NAVARRE − Playing against Chippewa soccer has been a daunting task for a great deal of their opponents this season, let alone the past three seasons. Some coaches will point to different reasons why the school from Doylestown is so difficult to overcome. If there's one answer, it's simply that the Chipps just don't let teams score. Chippewa's overall defensive activity was at the forefront of the Chipps 3-0 victory over Hiland in the all-Wayne/Holmes County Division V state semifinal matchup in Navarre at Fred Brideweser Stadium on Tuesday, Nov. 10. More: Chippewa earns 19th clean sheet of season, blanks Kirtland for third straight regional title It was the 20th shutout of the season for Chippewa (21-0-1) and they did it by swarming Hiland – playing in the school's first state semifinal appearance − as the Chipps forwards and midfielders won the ball high up the pitch in both ground and aerial duels, along with their backline making sure nothing gets in behind. Hiland (13-7-3) didn't register a shot on goal until about the last 10-15 minutes. "It's definitely really rewarding knowing we've only allowed five goals this year," said Chippewa sophomore fullback/midfielder Lea Ferrell. "I think it just all
