SENATE LEAGUE PREVIEW: COLLINWOOD HIGH SCHOOL

We are continuing on in our Senate league preview. Today we head to the railroad station on E.152nd street and St. Clair known as Collinwood High School.

RESPECT THE CROWN!! CRUNCH SHOW OUT IN HOME OPENER!

North Olmstead, Ohio ( all photos courtesy of 216 sports network photography and Cleveland Crunch) If the first game between the Muskegon Risers and Cleveland Crunch left any doubt in you mind about who the kings of the hill are going into the 2022 season, the Saturday night answered all questions.

Shortly after that Mike Der...

HAT TRICK, CRUNCH WIN 3 IN A ROW!!

You'd be correct if those were your thoughts, but you also have to understand that this isn't an ordinary defending championship team the Lansing Red Cedar were playing. This was the MLIS defending Champion Cleveland Crunch. to be fair to the Red Cedar, they are a very scrappy bunch and fight to the end.

The Red Cedar actually made it a tad difficult for the Crunch early in the first quarter. Then it got real. By the end of the first quarter the Crunch had a comfortable 3-0 lead, and before you knew it the score had changed to 8-1 go...
