Spartans stopped near goal- Blitz on Vindy.com - Youngstown, Warren, Columbiana, Mahoning Valley High Ohio School Football

TWINSBURG ? The scorebook doesn?t lie, but it sure can mislead.

Twice on Saturday night, the Boardman High football team had a first-and-goal inside Cleveland Glenville?s 8-yard line. Twice, the Spartans failed to score.

It proved fatal.

?You?ve gotta score when you get inside the 10-yard-line,? said Boardman coach D.J. Ogilvie following his team?s 21-3 loss to Cleveland Glenville in a Division I regional semifinal Saturday night in Twinsburg. ?At this level, you?ve gotta be perfect.?

The Spartans? special teams played a big role in the loss. Senior kicker Phil Curl was 1-for-3 on field goals, the Spartans gave up an 81-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the first play of the second half and Boardman struggled all night with its punting.

Shane Wynn was called up to the varsity football team early last week, so the Glenville freshman just assumed he'd never play such a big role in such a big game.

So much for assuming.

It was Wynn's 81-yard touchdown run on the opening second half-kickoff that broke the Tarblooders loose and broke Boardman's back in a 21-3 Division I regional semifinal victory Saturday night at Twinsburg's Tiger Stadium.

Plain Dealer file photographGlenville's Marcus Hall (79) celebrates with teammate Shannon Frieson (21) after the Tarblooders scored a touchdown last season in a playoff win over St. Ignatius. The teams frequently meet in the postseason. This year they square off in Week 1.
Four of the last five seasons, Glenville and St. Ignatius have met in a playoff game that ended one of their seasons. This year, they'll start the season playing each other Aug. 23 at Byers Field in Parma. As two-a-days began Thursday, the Tarblooders sounded as though they couldn't wait.
"That's all we think about is Ignatius in practice," quarterback Terrance Owens said. "They've got a nice a little program. They're disciplined, they're smart. We've got to get them. It's a must-gotta-win."

Glenville's football team didn't need added incentive heading into Saturday night's season opener against St. Ignatius (Watch live streaming video of the Glenville-St. Ignatius game on ohioHSsports.com tomorrow at 7:15 p.m.), but players got it Thursday morning when Nike surprised the Tarblooders by unveiling a refurbished team room.

The room, which is in the school's basement and was blocked off while work was done to keep the unveiling a surprise, has a fresh coat of red paint, a newly painted Glenville logo on the back wall, some new furniture and a 50-inch plasma TV.

Glenville's D has been great. Newsome had a big sack late in the game. Glenville gets the ball on downs up 10-3, 6:30 left. Glenville fumbles the snap and Ig recovers. Ig driving to tie.

[CleveBucks]

Ig ties it at 10, Shane Wynn takes the next kickoff to the house. 100 yards. Glenville up 17-10.

[CleveBucks]

Ig drives to tie 17-17 with 2 minutes left. KO returned to the 50. Glenville drives down and kicks a 30 yd FG as time expires to win 20-17.

[TheStoicPaisano]

If Glenville actually found a kicker...look out. Seeing Kyle Jefferson try a PAT--let alone a FG--was nightmare-inducing.

What a kick! Last-second field goal lifts Tarblooders, 20-17

By Mike Peticca, Plain Dealer Reporter, August 23, 2008 11:02 p.m.





Glenville has won big football games with breakaway runs, long passes and defensive heroics.
Saturday night, the Tarblooders earned, arguably, their biggest regular-season win ever, and they did so in novel fashion. Glenville topped St. Ignatius, 20-17, on a game-ending 30-yard field goal by Marvel Brooks before about 10,000 fans at Parma?s Byers Field.

It was just a fantastic game. Shane Wynn is super quick. He hit that crease and was gone in a second. Newsome was a force off of the edge. He is certainly going to bring in some natural talent.

Glenville 20 -- St. Ignatius 17 - cleveland.com

Cool! Maybe already posted.

[RB07OSU]

Wow, what a high energy game. Wynn looks phenomenal...not only did he have that explosive return, that catch he made across the middle of the field was amazing. Glenville has a shot at the title this year it appears.

Glenville: A pipeline to Division I football

? Tarblooders to meet Thomas Jefferson at noon Monday

By SETH STASKEY, Times Leader Sports Editor POSTED: August 31, 2008
"Glenville: A pipeline to Division I football" There was a time not too long ago when the most talked about prep football programs in Northeast Ohio were names like Cleveland St. Ignatius, Lakewood St. Edward, Massillon and Canton McKinley.
While those are all still very strong programs and recognized both state-wide as well as nationally, there's a new heavyweight emerging with each passing season.
The Tarblooders of Cleveland Glenville High School are becoming one of the most recognizable and most talked about football teams not only in the state, but in the midwest portion of the United States.
Why?
When you have eight alumni currently playing for the Ohio State Buckeyes and numerous other players around the nation playing big roles for major college programs, people tend to take note.
"Glenville is all about young people," said highly-successful head coach Ted Ginn. "We have a passion and understanding for young people and we're able to give kids hope because they are willing to participate and give their all."
Along with the eight current Buckeyes, which include Ray Small, Jamario O'Neal, Bryant Browning, Jermale Hines, Robert Rose and Shawntel Rowell just to name a few, Glenville is also the alma mater to 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, Donte Whitner and Ginn's son Teddy is currently with the Miami Dolphins.
While the Tarblooders boast talent out the wazoo, it's never translated to a championship on the field. However, the 2008 campaign could be the time that changes for them.
If one was to judge by their week one exhibition, it could be quite a season at the king of the Cleveland public schools.
Glenville went to the aforementioned Ignatius in a mutual season opener and posted a 20-17 victory over a team, which was ranked first in the Ohio High pre-season poll and also ranked nationally.
"We take it game-by-game," Ginn said. "We won't know how we sustain our momentum until we get into this week's game."
