     All season the teams of the Tri-point football league have battled each other to make it to the league Championship game. This Saturday, the final two will take the field to see who will take the crown. The interesting thing about this year's match-up is that it's a battle of 300's. That's right folks, you heard it right. The Port City Spartans and Ohio Gladiators will do battle this weekend for the 2023 league Crown. Before we go any further, let's take a look at each team with our version of the "tale of the Tape". Ohio Gladiators:  Record: 6-2 Head Coach: Chris Ballentine Players to watch: Danny Skalecki, Brandon Milbry, Grant Lisk OVERALL: The Gladiators played tough games all season. The offense averaged 23 points a game, but that hasn't stopped them from punishing opposing defenses with a balanced attack. Their defense however is their staple. Only giving up 8 points a game, But with a defensive line and secondary the Gladiators have they...

 North Olmstead, Ohio   In the last home game until the end of the season the Crunch hosted their divisional rivals the Muskegon Risers in a pivotal match up before the Crunch hit the road. The Crunch came into the game tied with the RGV Barracudas for the leagues best record. The Crunch defended home as expected. The first quarter started off slowly before the Risers put one in the back of the net to take the lead. The Risers would hold that lead until Admir Suljevic would score with 2:08 left in the first to tie the game at 1-1. Just before the end of the first, Kurt Raney would hook up with "The Captain" David Jordan to take a 2-1 lead going into the second period.  In the second period Chris Cvecko would shoot a dime past the Risers goal keeper to give the Crunch a 3-1 lead with 7:26 left before half time.

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...
