FROM DOWNTOWN; BEAVER LOCAL RUNS PERIMETER TO BEAT EDISON

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Beavers used the three-point shot en route to their 79-67 home victory over the Edison Wildcats. This was another tale of 2 halves.

To start the game, both teams went on run after run as Edison held the lead after one. Then, the teams traded baskets on each end as the Beavers took a 1 point lead into the locker room. After that, things started to click for the home team. The Beavers outscored Edison by 10 in the 3rd quarter and didn’t look back. Deep threes in the 4th from Josh Hilditch, Logan Reed, and Skylar Pappas helped put the game out of reach for the Wildcats and the Beavers collected their 4th win of the season.

On the stat sheet, Nathan Barber came close to a double-double (7 rebounds). In the past 2 games, Barber fell 2 boards shy of the feat and came into the night looking to finally accomplish his goal. He was on pace for it, as he had 5 boards and 9 points after the first half.

Barber will look to try it again as the Beavers (4-2)  return to action Friday at Wellsville and will return to YSN December 30, as the host Indian Valley on the Network with an approximate tip-off time of 7:00.
