Hired as Football Coach, Dean of Students
By ann Wishart ann@karloveCmedia Com
Doug Velasquez, 54, hired Jan. 29 as Cardinal Schools’ dean of students and head football coach, won’t officially begin his duties until Aug. 1.
By then, he expects to already know every player in the football program — and a few others, as well.
“I’ve just kind of been watching the kids,” he said during an interview Jan. 29.
That preparation has included driving from his home in Youngstown to watch students compete in other sports and reviewing video from previous football games.
“I’ll probably know the kids before I meet them,” he said shortly after the Cardinal Schools Board of Education voted to hire him.
Velasquez currently works as an eighth-grade intervention specialist at South Side Middle School for Columbiana Exempted Village Schools, a position he has held since 2020.

Cardinal’s Ivy Kaminski Breaks Millennium Mark
Athlete’s Sights Now Set on Program Scoring
In a 68-28 road Northeast Ath letic Conference win at Fairport on Jan. 29, Cardinal junior forward Ivy Kaminski was 22 points away from her 1,000th career point — and she surpassed it, becoming only the second Husky girls player
“It’s a really great accomplish ment, and I’ve been working at it for a really long time,” Kaminski said. “I give all the credit to my teammates, who really play a big part in helping me achieve this goal.”
Knowing a 1,000th point is within reach, it can be easy to be come overzealous in trying to get there, so Kaminski said she took a different approach by just letting it happen naturally.
“I just wanted to move the ball around and, if I had a good shot, to take those quality looks and see where it gets me,” she said of her mindset.
From a coaching standpoint, whenever a big milestone is near, it can also be hard for everyone else to focus on the task at hand – winning a conference basket ball game. But Coach Kim Domen didn’t have any trouble making sure the team’s focus was in the right spot because she also had a strategy.
“I didn't really tell the team how many points Ivy needed, but I kept in contact with Ivy's mom, Shelby, and we were back and forth for the last couple of days,” Coach Domen said. “I think the girls knew in the back of their heads, but they just needed to go out there and execute for the game. That's exactly what they did.”
and just play basketball,” Kaminski said.
With Kaminski's 1,000-career-points goal now out of the way, the junior will turn her focus
scorer Lyndsay Cummins, is an other accomplishment she's set her sights on — but she knows that'll be more of a goal for senior year.

school and junior college football prior to joining South Side gave him an edge over five other highly qualified candidates, said Cardinal Schools Superintendent Jack Cunningham.
“It’s been a process. It took about two months,” the superintendent said, noting the board created the dean of students position during a meeting in fall 2025.
The six candidates were interviewed by Athletic Director Jim Soltis and high school Principal Jim Henson, he said, adding that Velasquez’s football background weighed heavily in the decision.
“We’ve been struggling to find a consistent football coach for a couple of years,” Cunningham said.
He added that Velasquez has a record of bringing teams together and improving their performance over time.
From 2016 through 2020, Velasquez served as varsity head football coach at Lowellville High School, where the team went from a 0-9 record in his first year to a 6-4 record by the time he left for Columbiana, he said last Thursday.
“We steadily got better,” he said.
While coaching at Lowellville, Velasquez mentored one of his players into a college football program, and every player returned to the varsity roster each year he served as coach, according to his resume.
By the time he left the district, the team

finished the season one place shy of a playoff berth, according to his application to the Cardinal coaching position.
At Lowellville, Velasquez managed the football program for grades seven through 12, focusing on hard work, dedication, teamwork, accountability and commitment — life skills he said he looks forward to developing among a larger group of students at Cardinal High School.
Beginning Aug. 1, Velasquez, in his role as dean of students, will focus on discipline and attendance while working alongside Henson, who will oversee curriculum next year, and while pursuing his assistant administrator’s license, Cunningham said.
Throughout the summer, Velasquez will build relationships with students and strengthen the weight program for next year’s football players, Cunningham said.
The incoming coach said he wants his players to mature as athletes and young men while enjoying their time both on and off the field.
“I have such great memories from high school football,” he said.
Velasquez was an award-winning linebacker at Boardman High School, graduating in 1989, and has held numerous coaching positions at schools across Northeast Ohio, according to his resume.
Cunningham said Velasquez has a history of building successful teams, and Velasquez said he intends to continue that tradition at Cardinal.
“There’s talent here,” he said. “There’s a lot of good things I’m seeing.”
Faith Matters Thawing Out Your Faith
We are in the deep freeze here In Northeast Ohio. It feels like an old-fashioned winter, like those we had when I was a boy. However, there is no point in complaining, it just takes time. Spring will surely come to deliver us from all this snow and cold. If you are like me, you are perusing the seed catalogs and online plant/tree sites. I must confess, I have already purchased a few things.
We can dress for the cold weather. I even wear a mask when it is below zero. But we have no control over the weather and the temperatures that God sends us. We must simply receive with a grateful heart whatever the Lord determines for each new day. The Scripture tells us that, “This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us re joice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).
Pastor Rick Warren tells us that, “You are as close to God as you choose to be.” In other words, if we make it a priority to know Jesus and pursue a life of fellowship and obedience to Him, we will experience a nearness to the Lord. The choice is ours to make. The Bible tells us, “Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to know Him. He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of the dawn: He will come to us like the spring showers that water the earth” (Hosea 6:3).
By Roger Kruse
I often think about the condition of my heart… not physiologically, rather spiritually. Sometimes my faith grows a bit cold. If I focus too much on material things or just the events of this earthly life, my spiritual fervor can wane.
I know that the Bible exhorts us to “fix our gaze” on the unseen, eternal things of the spiritual realm. But that isn’t always easy to maintain. We get sidetracked by what we see, hear, touch, smell and taste. That’s why we need to embrace certain spiritual habits or disciplines that bring us into contact with the touches of God’s renewing grace.
If you recognize a dullness in your faith, the remedy is to read God’s Word and open your heart in conversation with your heavenly Father. He delights to meet you just where you are at. Honesty really is the best policy. Scripture exhorts us to “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). That is a wonderful promise for us to live by. The Lord desires friendship and intimacy with you and me. Nevertheless, we need to determine in our own hearts to seek His face.
The apostle Paul was a follower of Jesus who kept the fire of faith burning in his heart. He taught us to “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). Despite many hardships, persecution and suffering, he never allowed discouragement or complacency to find a lingering home in his heart.
How about you? Will you break out of the gloomy fog of spiritual apathy? Why not invite the Holy Spirit to enliven and renew your faith? We are commanded in Scripture to “Be filled with the Spirit.” He can light a fire in your heart. Also, read the Bible and ask the Lord to impart spiritual food. Pray and watch God strengthen your faith, impart wisdom and equip you with power to defeat the enemy of your soul.
You are not a victim of a “wintertime faith.” God will cause the sunshine of His face to dawn upon your heart. He will melt the coldness that has taken hold of your spirit. Let February be a time not only for the maple trees’ sap to flow. Allow it to become a springtime for a growing faith.
Roger Kruse is warming things up by keeping company with the Lord. Like Paul’s disciple Timothy, he is reminded to “fan into flame the gift of God that is within you.”

were in eighth grade, when the high school didn’t even have a team.
Fast-forward a few years: the team played in its first district title game in nearly three decades, with hopes of getting there again, and now it's added a 1,000-point scorer.
“It definitely helps having (Domen) as a coach,” Kaminski said. “We have a good connection, and she’s been my coach for a while, which helps. She knows how I play and has been a big help in getting me to where I am now as a player.”
Cardinal entered February at 12-6 with only four regular-season games left.
“We have to turn it up a notch as the tournament gets closer, and we need to hone in on each game and take care of business. That’s our big focus right now,” Coach Domen said. “We have a shooting practice on Sunday since we have a game on Monday (against St. John's), for them to get in there and get shots up, so that come game time we can get rolling and handle our business.”
