CLIPPERS END THE SEASON WITH THREE STRAIGHT WINS

COLUMBIANA, OH- After having a tough season, it is always a great feeling to close out the regular season with a victory over a conference rival. For Columbiana, not only did they finish off with a win against Lisbon Friday night, they capped the season off with a 3-game winning streak. Although the Blue Devils struck first, the Clippers fought back in the second and third quarters to score twice in each to ultimately come away with a 27-6 victory over Lisbon.

Lisbon started the game off with an onside kick that they recovered and drove down to Columbiana’s 4-yard line. From there, Trevor Siefke found Austin Dailey in the endzone to go up 6-0. The pace would slow down going into the second quarter until Spencer Pruitt for Columbiana had an 18-yard run to put the Clippers on the board, then Joe Guido found Dylan Bregar for 26 yards to give them a 13-6 lead in the second quarter. In the third, Columbiana would just stack on more points thanks to Jesse Szmura who added a 4-yard rushing TD and Guido who scored on an 11-yard run and added the two-point conversion to finish the game off.

Lisbon has earned a playoff spot and will be on the road in round one. YSN will have the game available along with many others with the Playoff Power Pass on October 28th.
