Zanesville coach Scott Aronhalt summed it up best after the 40-29 win over Cambridge: "I was worried our team may be peaking too early. Turns out that's not the case." The Blue Devils had to grind out another win over the Bobcats this year, sweeping the season series. Forty points is the lowest point total in a Blue Devil win this year, lower than the 43 they scored against Cambridge in the first meeting. The 11 point victory marking the first double digit win in the series since...

When one person is sick, they can make everyone around them feel ill. That was the case for the Zanesville Blue Devils, as Rian Burrell's flu-like symptoms hampered Zanesville's attack against River View. The Blue Devils recovered to snare a 62-33 victory over the still winless Black Bears, but Zanesville had just a two point lead with two minutes to play in the third quarter, but finished the game on a 32-5 run to secure their 12th win of the year. Tanner Gibson leading all scorers with a...
The last time Rosecrans (14-0) earned a number one ranking in 1999, the Bishops immediately fell in a trap-game at Bishop Watterson. This time around, Rosecrans pulled out the victory over their former C.C.L. opponent one day after being named the top ranked team in Division IV. However, it didn't come easy at the Eagles Nest. Bishop Watterson (3-10), who played unbeaten Bishop Hartley and St. Francis Desales to four and two-point games respectively, led by one with one minute to play. That'...
History normally repeats itself, but tonight in front of a packed house at Winland Memorial Gymnasium, history reversed itself. The Zanesville Blue Devils improved to 8-2 with a 50-30 victory over the Tri-Valley Scotties, a near mirror image of the 47-30 Tri-Valley victory over the Blue Devils a year ago. The Dawgs scored the first bucket of the game, but it was all Zanesville from there. Tanner Gibson leading the Blue Devils with 16 points, Cole Carpenter behind him with 11 points and...

Ask any coach and they will always say after a big win, it only matters until the next game, and in Newark's case it didn't get any bigger than a last second buzzer beater against Briggs. The Wildcats have now won two straight and seem to be gathering momentum. In the MVL Tri-Valley suffered their first loss of the season during a horrible shooting night in their game against Reynoldsburg, while Sheridan, John Glenn, and West M all picked up wins against no League foes.

What a first week for the Zanesville Blue Devls at the new Winland Memorial Gymnasium. Three games in the first week of the new home nets three wins for Zanesville, but it wasn't easy.

Leading the Blue Devils in scoring was Cole Carpenter who had a game high 19 points and 9 rebounds....
