DEVILS REGAIN FOCUS IN 2020; UPSET WELLSVILLE

LISBON, OH- If you’re a fan of motivational coaches, you don’t have to look very far to find one in Lisbon.  Chris Huckshold is renowned for firing up his team, and in turn, his team fires off victories that raise eyebrows county-wide.

Friday was no different.

The Blue Devils have had struggles in the early going after losing their all-time leading scorer Justin Sweeney to graduation.  However, if you ask any of the current players, they don’t buy into that excuse anymore, and on Friday a true TEAM victory propelled Lisbon back into the EOAC spotlight after a convincing 60-34 victory over rival Wellsville.

Ryan “Peanut” McCullough played inspired with 22 points and four assists, while the big man, Blayne Brownfield chipped in 14 points.  Adam Spencer cleaned the glass all night on his way to 11 boards.  Michael Davis had 6 rebounds, while Joey Fisher had 4 helpers and 4 steals for the Devils.

For Wellsville, Justin Wright had 10 points.

Wellsville (2-4) will return to action today on the road in Oak Glen, while Lisbon (3-7) will host Heartland Christian on Tuesday.
