South Flag Football Stays Hot with Dominant Weekend Sweep

Posted on 03/23/2026

The South Flag Football team continued its strong start to the season with a dominant weekend sweep, rolling past Riverside 34-0 on Friday before following it up with a 37-6 win over Wickliffe on Sunday to open league play 2-0.“I think most of the credit should go to our defense,” said quarterback Lindsay Nejak. “Our first game, we had a shutout, and in the second game, the defense only let up six points. They did a great job in coverage, getting a lot of interceptions and turnovers. Their effort and energy fed into the offense, allowing us to give our best performance.”That complementary effort fueled a Rebels offense that was nearly unstoppable across both games, as South improved to 8-1 overall behind a balanced attack through the air and on the ground.Nejak led the charge with an efficient and explosive weekend, completing 30-of-39 passes for 330 yards with six touchdowns and just one interception.“It’s a lot of fun to be able to just play the game with my teammates,” Nejak said. “

The Willoughby South Rebels enter the 2026 softball season with a mix of returning experience and promising youth, hoping that combination can propel them into contention in the Western Reserve Conference during its final season.Head coach Rusty Bliss begins his second year leading the program after guiding the Rebels to an 11-12-1 record last season, including a sectional victory over Hawken before falling to Uniontown Lake in a district semifinal.Despite replacing several key contributors, Bliss believes this year’s group has the pieces to make things interesting.“2026 should be a fun year for us,” Bliss said. “Even though we are going to be a young team and have to replace two really big bats on offense and two record-setting gloves on defense, this year's team will come out swinging, no pun intended.”That youth will be noticeable right away, with several freshmen expected to contribute immediately alongside a core of experienced upperclassmen.“Junior Makayla Schneider brings a big

The job wasn’t finished, but it was accomplished.Willoughby South advanced six wrestlers to next weekend’s OHSAA Division I district tournament and produced eight top-six placers Saturday at the sectional tournament at Pinkney East, using a mix of bonus points, late-match grit, and championship-match experience to keep its postseason moving forward.Tommy Rini and Cooper Fiebig led the way with runner-up finishes, while Owen Willis placed third, and Alexian Mendez, Collin Hollingsworth, and Michael Manzi each took fourth. Andrew Cirino and Charlie Kevern added fifth-place finishes to earn district alternate spots.For Rini at 144 pounds, the path to the finals was as dominant as it was efficient.A 45-second pin opened his day, and back-to-back technical falls pushed him into the championship bout against Brecksville state placer Cole Speer.“I felt that my offense today in my early matches was on point and that my attacks helped widen the gap between me and my opponents,” Rini said. “It w

The growth of Willoughby South’s young roster showed up in real time Saturday afternoon.With a sectional championship on the line and a familiar opponent across the floor, the Rebels delivered their most complete performance of the season, overwhelming host Cleveland JFK in the final eight minutes for a 58-34 victory and their fourth straight win.South (9-14) advances to face top-seeded Brush on Feb. 25, but the postgame celebration centered on something just as meaningful — a postseason breakthrough for a lineup with only one senior.“It was phenomenal,” interim coach Joe Pintar said. “It was a good confidence booster for our team. They went out and balled out today and played our game.”The Rebels set the tone early, building a 15-10 lead after one quarter behind the poised play of freshman Ava Proctor, who poured in five points in the opening frame on her way to a career-high 17. JFK matched South through the middle quarters, trimming the margin to six entering the fourth, but the Reb

Willoughby South is playing its best basketball at exactly the right time.Closing the regular season the same way it opened it — with a three-game winning streak — the Rebels went on the road Thursday night and knocked off Cleveland JFK, 50-41, to build momentum for a postseason rematch with the Eagles on Saturday.With just one senior on the roster, the growth has been obvious, and the confidence is following.“We fight,” South interim coach Joe Pintar said. “They really don't quit, and if we're up by 10, they want to build a lead, and we're learning how to do that and how to close games, which is a little tough for us being a young team.”South (8-14) set the tone early, jumping in front 20-11 after one quarter and controlling the tempo for most of the night. The Rebels’ defensive pressure and balanced scoring helped them maintain the lead, even when JFK made pushes in the second half.Lanila Fatica led the way with 15 points, continuing her steady offensive production.

Survive and advance.That postseason mindset paid off in a big way for Willoughby South on Saturday, as the Rebels pushed eight swimmers through to the OHSAA Division I district meet, with senior Ava Shearer and sophomore Riley McDaniel leading the charge by qualifying in four events apiece.For Shearer, the accomplishment meant something more than a list of events — it meant another week in the water.“It is a huge relief knowing I have another week to swim,” Shearer said. “I put in a lot of work during the regular season to set myself up for success in the postseason, so it feels great to see that effort paying off. It’s a great time to celebrate the successes of sectionals and focus on getting ready for districts.”Shearer advanced in both of her individual races — the 100 butterfly and 100 breaststroke — and was a key piece of two qualifying relays.Her strongest swim came in the breaststroke, where she placed fifth in 1:11.03.“The 100 breaststroke was my best race because I had the opp

EASTLAKE — A week made all the difference.After falling to Eastlake North on their home floor last Saturday, the Willoughby South Rebels returned the favor Friday night, pulling away in the second half for a 62-50 Western Reserve Conference rivalry win.“It was a great win,” South coach Doug Barber said. “It was nice that we only had to think about that loss for six days. We thought about it for six days and wanted to get back and avenge that loss.”South (5-16, 1-8 WRC) led 23-22 at halftime before breaking the game open with a decisive 19-7 third quarter. North (4-17, 1-9) never fully recovered.Rakeem Drew sparked the surge, scoring seven of his game-high 21 points during the pivotal stretch. The Rebels found the consistency they lacked in last week’s 52-44 loss, when they were unable to protect a lead.This time, they slammed the door.Brady Shazivari added 14 points for South, while Malick Sy delivered his strongest outing of the season with 13 points — 11 coming in the second half as

Sydney Isabella delivered a dominant fourth-quarter performance Thursday night, scoring 13 of her game-high 19 points to lift Willoughby South to a 45-43 nonconference comeback victory over host Jefferson.Trailing entering the final period, the Rebels (6-14) erupted for a 21-11 surge to erase the deficit and steal momentum late in the season. The win sends South into Tuesday’s road trip to Harvey with renewed confidence after closing strong down the stretch.“The girls don’t quit,” said South interim coach Joe Pintar. “They always play until the final buzzer.”Jefferson built early momentum, leading 12-6 after the first quarter and holding a slim edge through three periods behind a 17-point effort from Dani Furman. South struggled to find rhythm offensively, scoring just 24 points through the first three quarters before everything shifted late.“We let the game into our head, and we weren’t playing our style of basketball,” Pintar said. “We were trying to play what was being given to us,

WILLOUGHBY—Rivalry Saturday belonged to Eastlake North.The Rangers traveled across town and came away with a sweep in a girls-boys doubleheader against Willoughby South, pulling away for a 55-24 victory in the girls’ game before rallying late for a 52-44 win in the boys’ matchup. The girls earned a season sweep over the Rebels, while the boys secured a much-needed rivalry win on South’s home floor.North’s girls set the tone early, building a double-digit lead in the first quarter behind Kaitlin Dobida, who finished with a game-high 20 points. Dobida drained four 3-pointers in the win. Angelie Cisternino added nine points with three triples, while Amaya Majette chipped in eight as the Rangers steadily widened the gap.“They brought a lot of energy, which was good to see,” North girls coach Staci Greene said. “I kind of threw something new at them today, doing the 1-3-1 (defense).

WICKLIFFE — Eastlake North and Willoughby South traded victories Thursday at Wickliffe Lanes, as the Rebels captured the girls match while the Rangers answered with a tight win in the boys competition ahead of Friday’s Western Reserve Conference tournament. South’s girls earned a 1936-1911 victory behind a balanced effort led by Hailey Florence’s 395 series. Kira Woodring added a 362, Abby Handy rolled 268, and Lily Smiciklas finished with 252 as the Rebels built enough cushion to hold off a late push from North. North stayed within striking distance thanks to Hailey Sauric’s 339 and Kristina DiDonato’s 331, while Chloe Sutton contributed 302, Anna Spataro added 284, and Kailee Crissey finished with 243. In the boys' match, North pulled out a 2555-2522 win in a competitive back-and-forth battle.

Willoughby South saved its best for last Monday night, storming back from a halftime deficit to defeat visiting Jefferson, 41-38, in a nonconference girls basketball game.The win snapped a nine-game losing streak for the Rebels, who improved to 5-10 on the season by holding Jefferson to just 11 points in the second half while scoring 23 of their own.“It feels great. As much as me and our assistant coaches do for those girls, they deserved it tonight,” said South assistant coach Joe Pintar. “They fought, and they don’t quit. They’re fighters. We were down nine at halftime today, and, unfortunately, we’re used to battling back. Our girls, that’s what they do. They fight and don’t give up. They deserved it tonight.”South trailed 27-18 at the break but flipped the game after halftime, outscoring Jefferson 12-6 in the third quarter and 11-5 in the fourth to complete the comeback.Charlotte Tierney led the surge, scoring all 12 of her points in the second half, while Morgan Hayek added all fo

A one-point game late in the first quarter turned into a runaway as Mayfield dominated the middle two quarters and rolled past visiting Willoughby South, 69-29, in a Western Reserve Conference matchup on Saturday.“It was a tight game early, but we definitely started playing to our level more the rest of the way and really started to lock in on our game plan,” said Mayfield’s Sydney Montgomery. “We picked up the pace, moved the ball well, and got more stops defensively, which led to easy transition and shot opportunities. Once we caught fire and created that momentum, we were able to build on it and control the second and third quarter.”After holding a slim 15-14 edge following the opening quarter, the Wildcats erupted for 22 points in the second and 23 more in the third, turning the game into a rout and building a commanding 60-20 lead heading into the final eight minutes.Montgomery led the charge, drilling six 3-pointers on her way to a game-high 20 points.

WILLOUGHBY--Eastlake North and Willoughby South split a tightly contested swimming dual meet Friday at the West End YMCA, with South doing just enough across both lineups to claim the combined victory, 158-152. South won the girls' meet, 91-69, while North countered by taking the boys' side, 83-67, creating a back-and-forth meet that stayed undecided until the final relays. On the girls’ side, South’s depth showed early and often. The Rebels opened the meet with a win in the 200-yard medley relay as Casey Heil, Ava Shearer, Emma Shearer, and Riley McDaniel touched first in 2:08.90. Ava Shearer followed with an individual victory in the 200 freestyle (2:17.39) and later swam a leg on the 200 freestyle relay and placed second in the 100 butterfly. Emma Shearer added a win in the 200 individual medley (2:40.88) and also swam on the winning 200 free relay, while McDaniel captured the 50 freestyle (28.52), won the 100 breaststroke (1:22.16), and contributed to both relay vict

I will take the time with my coaches this week to break down the film and learn from my mistakes to improve for next week.”Willis went 4-1 in pool wrestling with three pins, his lone loss coming against eventual champion Cliff Nicholson of Medina, a two-time state qualifier.

Willoughby South built a double-digit cushion, weathered a late push, and did just enough right when it mattered most in a 50-41 nonconference win over host Jefferson on Thursday.The Rebels carried a comfortable lead into the fourth quarter, then leaned on poise and free throws when the Falcons made it a two-possession game midway through the final period.“We had a double-digit lead, and we just didn’t make very good decisions in the first part of the fourth quarter,” said South coach Doug Barber. “But to our credit, we didn’t let the lead slip away. We made our foul shots down the stretch and were able to come home with the win.”South controlled the game early, taking a 26-19 lead into halftime and extending it to 40-27 after three quarters behind steady offensive balance and defensive pressure. Brady Shazivari set the tone with 18 points, knocking down three 3-pointers, while Rakeem Drew added 11 off the bench and Josh Jensen finished with 10.Jefferson made its move late, trimming th

We had to focus on what we do well and expose some of their weaknesses, and I think we did just that tonight.”North closed the opening quarter with a 15-13 lead and continued to widen the gap in the second behind Kaitlin Dobida and Angelie Cisternino. Dobida finished with a game-high 22 points, while Cisternino drained four 3-pointers and scored 14.

Obviously, at the end, they pressured us a little bit, and that's just a new experience for this team. We're not used to really being up at the end of games, and something we want to be talking about more, but I'm very proud of their overall effort and playing together and sharing the ball.”Julia Scales was the centerpiece, dominating inside with rebounds and putbacks before stepping out to hit two 3-pointers on her way to 20 poin
