EDITOR'S TAKE

It's remarkable how quickly time has passed.
Too fast! Unlike mainstream sports media
outlets, Spartan Sports Ohio has brought you up close and personal coverage on the field,
capturing moments that connect the athletes,
coaches, and fans to our audience. We are
blessed to have earned the trust of the coaches,
athletic directors, and players throughout the
season, including the wonderful officiating crews. Each game we’ve covered is a thrilling showcase of talent, speed, strength, and
perseverance—the range of emotions from
victory to late-season injuries that can disable
the team’s momentum. However, as the regular
season ended, teams like Jackson, Lake,
Northwest, West Branch, Malvern, and Massillon finished strong to vie for home-field advantage in the upcoming playoffs starting this Friday, November 1, 2024. We will continue bringing you unedited, emotional clips of magnificent performances, coaches’ interviews, and celebrations throughout the playoffs. We will also provide our view of our Stark County and Federal League coach and player of the year. Lastly, we are very grateful for your support and subscriptions to our YouTube channel and website, as we have eclipsed well over 1,000 views in our first year thus far, with some games exceeding 350 views. Indeed, these are not numbers to tout. However, we are a self-funded organization for the love of the game, its fans, and the beautiful emotions created in every minute.
