POLAND TAKES ROUND ONE AGAINST RAIDERS

/in /by

POLAND, Ohio, The Poland Bulldogs played host to the South Range Raiders in an early season clash of two of the premier programs in the NE8. Both teams came into tonight’s matchup looking for their first win on the season.

Poland’s offensive attack came out firing early and often in the first half, but through a majority of it, South Range goalkeeper Hannah Ball did a good job of keeping the Bulldogs at bay. Then, a goal by Freshman Kennedy Henderson opened up the Poland offense and gave the group a collective confidence boost. Goals also added by Kailyn Assion and Sophia Generalovich gave the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead heading into halftime.

One more goal by Generalovich in the second half gave Poland a 4-0 lead, the score they would win by as the game was eventually called a few minutes later due to inclement weather with just over 20 minutes remaining in the second half. The Bulldogs move to 1-1 on the season, while South Range drops to 0-3-1.

SPARTANS CATAPULT THEIR WAY PAST SOUTH RANGE

/in /by

CANFIELD, Ohio- In a battle of two of the valley’s premier programs, it was Boardman who was able to come out on top of South Range by a score of 3-0 in Monday night’s boys’ soccer battle.

Both teams were coming into battle looking for their first win of the season, as Boardman had a 3-3 draw with Hoban to open their season, and South Range had a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Ursuline to begin their season.

The first half was very physical from both teams, as neither wanted to let the opposition get any easy looks inside, which led to a scoreless tie going into the break.

The second half was all Boardman though. The Spartans controlled possession for much of the second half, and two goals by Sava Crnjak helped catapult Boardman to a 3-0 victory, their first of the season. In addition to Crnjak’s elite attacking ability, Carson Essad, the Spartans goalkeeper, was lights out in the net all night long.

BEAVERS PROTECT HOME FIELD AGAINST LIVERPOOL

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL OH-

The Beaver Local Boys Soccer team started the season vs arch rival East Liverpool with a 2-1 victory in front of a large crowd at Fighting Beaver Stadium on Saturday night.  The game did not disappoint as both teams goalies started hot by making key saves to keep the game scoreless for the first 20 minutes of the game. That was until the Potters Wyatt McCune was able to get behind the Beavers defense and find the back of the night to put the visiting team up 1-0. This was short lived though as the Beavers Kaleb Mays was finally able to beat Potters goalie Malachi Reed to notch the score 1-1, where it would stand at half.

The 2nd half was much like the first, however things seemed to get tighter on both sides.  The Beavers and Potters style of wide open play seemed to change as more of a field position battle ensued.  The game remained tied at 1-1 for the duration of the second half, until just under 5 minutes left to play the Beavers  went on attack.  This is when a flurry of shots on goal led to  Junior Colin Gaydos  burying a rebound and eventual  game winner to the back of the net giving the Beavers a 2-1 victory over their rivals.   The Beavers (1-0) will look to keep things rolling at home on Tuesday when the Carrollton Warriors come to town.  Game is set to start at 7:00pm.
