Bloom Carroll needs overtime to take care of Fairfield Union 42-35


Bloom Carroll (5-8) sought their sixth win on Friday night hosting Fairfield Union, who stood (9-5). This was one of those games where both teams went through long stretches of being ice-cold from the field.

Bloom Carroll went down six quickly but recovered to lead 12-10 after the opening quarter.

It was good on-ball defense that provided the spark, with just enough offense to right the ship. Fairfield Union would lead 18-16 at the half as the ice-cold shooting continued for both teams, along with some nice defense.

The second half followed suit with the first ice-cold shooting with pressure defense that helped create more than a handful of turnovers. Bloom Carroll led 27-26 after three. The fourth frame would provide just seven points, leaving the game tied at 30.

Overtime was a case of Bloom Carroll hitting key free throws as Fairfield Union was forced to foul. The final would be 42-35 Bloom Carroll. The biggest difference in this one was Michael Stevenson coming off of the bench to score 9 points. Total bench scoring for the game was 11 for Bloom Carroll to just 2 for Fairfield Union.

Leading Bloom Carroll with 11 points was Tryce Chaffin, including 1 three-pointer. Also scoring 9 points was Caleb Hinkle. He added one three-pointer to his total.

For Fairfield Union, sophomore Trevor Utzinger had a game-high 12 points. Keegan Arnett had 8 hard-earned points inside as he had to bang all night long with the defense surrounding him.

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

Image
  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...

Two times first team all MSL, two times first team all district, two times honorable mention all Ohio What were the high and low points of the 2023 season? I’d say a high point would be doubling our wins from the 2022 season.

What are your personal goals for the 2024 season? 1,500 rushing yards and 1,000 passing yards, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 15 passing touchdowns. How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play? I have been playing football for 11 years. Football clicked as soon as I put the pads on; there’s something about it that I can’t get enough of. I’d say the reason I continue to play is my love for the game. Who or what got you interested in playing footb...
