POTTERS DEFEAT BEAVERS TO TAKE SEASON SWEEP

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Potters defeated the Beavers 64-59 on Tuesday in a classic rivalry game. The stands were packed, with not a single seat empty, and the expectations for the game were high.

Interesting events transpired to start the contest. The Beavers students were given noisemakers that they used on Potters offensive trips. On the third trip down the floor, the referees stopped the game to have the PA announcer ask the students to stop with the noisemakers, at which point, the whole Beavers side of the stands began clapping loudly to disrupt the Potters. The Beavers took advantage, having a 19-15 lead after 1. The second quarter had less clapping, but just as much action-packed basketball, as Beaver Local had the lead 31-30 heading into the half.

The third quarter was a heavyweight bout, as the team traded blow after blow. The Potters came out of it with a 4 point lead. Tre’shawn Jackson hit a couple of uncontested 3s to start the 4th and give the Potters nearly all the momentum. They took it and ran off with the 5 point victory. The Beavers drop to 7-6, while the Potters improve to 7-2.

For East Liverpool, Tresean Jackson had 26 tallies while Brennan O’Hara spotted 20 for the Potters.

The Beavers were led by the trio of Luke Chetok with 15, Josh Hilditch with 13, and Logan Reed with 11 points.

The next broadcast on YSN Beaver Local is this Thursday night when the Lady Beavers host Indian Creek at 7:00.
