NEW COACHES

What do teams like Youngstown Christian, Warren Harding and Lowellville have in common? They are among the 13 schools with new coaches this season. Some of the faces are new. Some are familiar. Check out where there will be new faces for the new season.

GAME OF THE WEEK

In our Vindy/WFMJ opening night Game of the Week, we showcase the matchup between Girard and Niles. For Girard, its key will be the success of seniors Craig Brooks and Aaron Carmichael. The Indians are shifting to new posts on the offensive line, and coach Bud McSuley said a lot rests on their shoulders.

PICK ’EMS

It’s a homer crowd in the Pigskin Pick’em box — or overwhelming confidence in Mooney as it faces off against state power Mentor. It’s an all-Mooney slate. But you need to see who is looking for reborn East to mark its first win against Canfield.

* FANtastic:

We launch a new fan feature this season with a look at the games through your eyes. We’ll start the 2007 season off by looking back at our favorite 2006 fan photos, including Mooney fans Kait Kelley, left, and Kristian Moore, who cheered the Cardinals on during a game at YSU. But next week, it is your turn. Email The Vindy your photos. Send them to blitz@vindy.com.
