COBRAS LOOKING FOR 2!!

 



     The Cobras defense showed dominance in last weeks win over the visiting Ohio Bears. This week they will look to make it two in a row as they head back to West Virginia to take on the West Virginia Black Knights. This will be the first meeting between the two teams and both teams are looking to climb a little higher in the Tri-point Football League rankings. With that being said lets look at both teams.



West Virginia Black Knights

record: 1-2

Head coach: Russell Blanchard

Players to watch: Christopher Featherstone, Deyontae Richardson

Overall: Not much has been shown about the Black Knights, But we are told they're a very scrappy unit with ball players on both offense and defense. We spoke with Coach Russell about his expectations for this weekend and here's what he said.  

    " I expect us to come out and play with heart and determination like we do every game. we do that everything else will take care of itself."



Cleveland Cobras

record: 1-2

Head coach: Adam Rogerson

Players to watch: Rico stamps, Kevin Green, Cam Scott, Emmette Calhoun, Dominic Clotman, Darun Postway

Overall: The Cobras proved last week that defense still wins games. They also managed to move the ball with better success down the field rushing the ball. The Cobra defense also managed to get two really big turnovers that turned out to turn the tide of the game. 


As by now most of our readers already know we will be broadcasting this game so no pick will be given out. What we can say is that it's a three hour ride to West Virginia. Which is plenty of time for both teams to get their minds right for a 7pm kickoff. Hydration will also play a factor as the sun has been really, really mean the last few days and the hear will most definitely play a factor in the game. This game could turn into a dogfight, and if it does turnovers and ball security will be key to both teams.


For those Cobra and Knights fans who can't make it to the game, you can catch it on our YouTube channel (216 Sports Network), and if there are technical difficulties like last week we will broadcast the game on our Facebook page of the same name. See you Saturday at 7pm!

ON SACRED GROUND: THE BIRTHPLACE OF CLEVELAND BASEBALL!!

                                                          ( all photos and videos courtesy of 216 Sports Network photography and The Baseball Heritage Museum)          All my life I have been a baseball fan. My two favorite players of all time are Ken Griffey Jr. and    Albert Belle. As a kid growing up my friends and i would play games upon games of baseball from sun up to sun down. I even went so far as to be the kid with the best swing on the street( i tried my hardest to emulate my swing to look like Griffey's).  As I grew up i saw the wars between the Indians and Mariners in the playoffs. Two Indians' World Series appearances. The Home run race between Sammy Sosa and Mark Mcgwire. On top of playing the numerous baseball video games that came out every year, and of course the magical 2016 year the Ind...

PUT EM' IN THE COFFIN!!!

 Hoffman Estates, Illinois        The Cleveland Crunch have been on a mission this season. With arguably the toughest schedule in MASL 2 this year the Crunch have definitely faced test after test and have weathered the storm. Don't believe us? Let's put it into perspective. Upon their return in 2021 the Crunch won the M2 championship in the first year back. A feat that isn't done often in any sport. Not only that, the Crunch have taken this year's schedule and battled with even more physicality and determination than last year. This season is no different as they traveled to Chicago to play the Mustangs in a weekend series. This was the rematch as the Crunch swept Chicago in the first weekend series at home at the Soccerplex in North Olmstead. As always this particular rivalry is the best in M2. Saturday night saw both Admir Suljevic and the "Silent Assassin" Mike Derezic score 5 goals each as the Crunch would go on to take Saturday's game 10-6. B...

CRUNCH SHOW OUT ON BANNER NIGHT!!

Image
Cleveland, Ohio                         If you haven't been watching the Cleveland Crunch yet, You might want to. Why? Simple, the Crunch are showing why they're one of if not the best professional indoor soccer team in the country, and from the looks of things that sentiment is not changing any time soon.                                        ( All photos courtesy of 216 sports network photography) Saturday night was a special event as the Crunch celebrated their 2024 MLIS title win. Players and staff were presented with rings and the all coveted 5th championship banner. Which makes the 5th star on the team crest official. Unfortunately for the visiting Lansing Red Cedar it was the wrong place, wrong time, and wrong team to face.  Early in the first quarter the Crunch scored early bringing the game to 1-0. Lansing answered...
