For Wednesday's edition of Camp Days, we're looking at the 2016 edition of the Copley Indians under head coach Scott Chouinard.

Chouinard joined us at Surburban League Media Days in Cuyahoga Falls last week, and he said that his team is excited to put on the pads and get after it on the football field.

 "One of our top goals is making sure we're healthy all the way through the season,  win one game at a time, an our ultimate goal is to win the Suburban League."

 The Indians won 9 games in 2015, and are looking to make a solid run not only in the league, put in the postseason as well.

 Chouinard also pointed to the tough Suburban League slate and how each week is a tough matchup between well-coached teams with talented and hard-working players.

A flurry of trade activity converged on Major League baseball over the past few days, and the Indians made some moves, acquiring Andrew Miller from New York and Brandon Guyer from the Tampa Bay Rays.

J.J. Cooper, Managing Editor from Baseball America joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about the big trades that not only went on with the Tribe, but with other teams as well.

The Texas Rangers also made some moves as well, including Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Beltran.  Cooper said the Rangers' agressiveness put them in position to make a move.

 "The Rangers just gave themselves a significantly better shot of making the World Series, which is the goal for everyone," Cooper said.

As far as the hometown Indians,  Cooper seems to think they have a clear path to the playoffs and they did enough to make a World Series run.

The legendary St. Ignatius head football coach joined the Sam Bourquin Show to disscuss his recent hire as the new Browns Youth Football Advisor. Kyle talked about how his meeting with Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and his wife Dee helped him with his decision saying he took it as a great honor in being asked to be directly involved in helping the community and youth athletics. Coach Kyle said after the meeting that he was very excited about the idea, "I really got excited about the idea, in my small way contributing to the community and certainly for youth delopment."  

Heading into the State Tournament, the Wadsworth Lady Grizzlies have been playing well and continue their dominance in the Suburban League.

Andy Booth, the head coach of the Lady Grizzlies joined the Sam Bourquin Show on a Thursday to talk about his club and their win over Nordonia last night 57=35.

"The mood right now is pretty good," Booth said.  "It was a great defensive effort from our kids, we played very well."

The Lady Griz are 14-0 in the Suburban League for the 2015-16 year and the seniors for this years class have never lost a Suburban League game.

"We're fortunate to just have a group of kids that just know how to play basketball," Booth said. "We know how to adjust on the fly and we're a cerebral team."
