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, 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 played their last season in the 2010–11 school year due to the reorganization of the Youngstown City School District.
