I did not see this coming, good idea

For the second time in the last five years the Youngstown City Schools are joining forces.  Youngstown East and crosstown rival Chaney are combining athletic programs into one.  The change could be in place as early as this fall.

According to the current revitalization plan released today, all sports at Chaney will cease to exist. A source close to the program tells MyValleySports.com the current coaching staff for the Youngstown East football team will remain in place with head coach Brian Shaner at the helm.

The kids coming over from Chaney will play the for the Panthers and follow that schedule.  There are even plans to change their home field as well.  The new site could be a renovated stadium at the old Rayen school or a new complex on the property at Youngstown East.

Like Hathorn's ideas.

Wonder how Jimmy Vivo is reacting to this?

Come to Boardman Jim!

If East can keep the parochials from raiding all the talent in Youngstown City ...they could have some great teams!!!

I also like this idea.  It will "save" Chaney by removing the criminal element that has turned Chaney hallways into a war zone.  The key here is that a student must "test' into Chaney.  Nobody will admit this, but Chaney will become the "college prep" school while East evolves into the technical/reform school.

I doubt that East will ever become a force in football.  With the best students at Chaney, academic performance at East will be unimpressive.  This decision will actually strengthen the Catholic schools, especially Ursuline that is staying afloat by admitting plenty of non-Catholic, minority kids. If you are the parent of a talented Youngstown athlete who aspires to play in college, here are your options.  First, send the kid to East, the bad academic school, and hope for the best.  Second, make sure your kid "tests" into the STEM program at Chaney.  But then he must commute to the east side for every practice and probably won't be embraced by East students with open arms.  Third, use your voucher and send your kid to Ursuline.  Seems like a no-brainer to me. 

YSUGO:
this might sound stupid ...but how does the voucher system work..what amount are they and they are good at what times of schools?
