History

In its first incarnation, Chaney offered baseball, basketball, bowling, football, and track for boys as well as basketball, bowling, cheerleading, softball, volleyball, and track were sponsored for girls.

Although the football team never won a state title (their best finish was a loss in the Division-III state championship game in 1997), Chaney produced several college standouts and NFL athletes, such as former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL MVP Frank Sinkwich, Jerry Olsavsky, Mike Zordich, Matt Cavanaugh, Anthony Floyd, Brad Smith and Keilen Dykes.

Chaney football also won more city titles than any other school prior to the 2006–07 school year when the Youngstown City Series dissolved. The Chaney football team was on hiatus from 2011 until 2018.
