BEAVER LOCAL VETERAN PRESENCE PREVAILS

EAST PALESTINE, OH- East Palestine came as close as they’ve been all season to earning their first victory, but it was the cagey veterans of Beaver Local that stayed calm and collected down the stretch to hold tight to a 47-40 victory on Saturday afternoon.

Beaver Local was lights out in the first quarter, lighting up the scoreboard as if it were a Christmas tree to the tune of 20 points.  The problem became that in the second frame- The Lady Beavers couldn’t crack the code on East Palestine once, and the teams went into the break tied 20-20.

East Palestine would outscore Beaver in the third quarter 11-9 led by hoops magician, Mia Lee.  Lee was putting in layups during this contest that would make Steph Curry blush.

However, the tale would turn in the final stanza under the watchful eyes of Olivia Keller and Chansyn Hoppel who, when the pushes came to shoves, would not let their team falter.  Keller knocked down key shots from beyond the arc in the final quarter, while Hoppel utilized her blazing speed to keep East Palestine just a step behind the rest of the way.

Jordan Palmer would lead all Beaver Local scorers with 18, as she continued to show incredible leadership and poise throughout the contest.  Keller and Halle Jordan completed their task with 8 points apiece, while Chansyn Hoppel closed out her register with 6 points.

For East Palestine, Lee had a career-high 24 points as she dazzled in the contest.  Patience Champney once again shined with double digits in points with 10 and had more swats defensively than a front porch in Louisiana in mosquito season.

 

BEAVERS BLAST OAK GLEN

LOCAL ATHLETES FILL ALL-STATE DIVISION IV ROSTER

COLUMBUS, OH- There’s no doubt the area is rich in football talent across the board, but Division IV was peppered with elite skill as the All-Ohio teams were released on Tuesday.

Leading the way on the first team was Ursuline’s DeMarcus McElroy who finished the season with 2,191 yards on 315 attempts, a  7-yard per carry average.  McElroy also scored 41 times on the ground for the Irish.

Dru DeShields was also listed as first-team talent with his dual-threat weaponry, Dru finished with 3,661 yards through the air, and 40 of those passes going for touchdowns.  Drew’s 67% completion percentage on 383 throws was also impressive.  We can’t forget about DeShields ground factor either, with over 1100 yards on the ground and 15 additional touchdowns- DeShields only being a junior scares many coaches for the ’22 campaign.

Mason Ludwig had a big year for the Potters in East Liverpool.  Ludwig’s 6’6, 280 pound frame has recruiters all across the NCAA salivating, and his first-team selection in 2021 for All-Ohio will only strengthen those conversations.

West Branch’s Greg Rockwell joins his QB on the first-team list.  The 6’1, 250 pound offensive lineman checks the box during his impressive senior year on the gridiron.

The First-Team Defense showcased Ty’Req Donlow who created issues for offenses all season long, and a much-deserved accolade for the agitator.  Steven Marra was outstanding with 30 touchdowns on offense, but ultimately his defense at linebacker lands him with first-team honors.

The second-teamers in the area stood out with Ursuline QB1, Brady Shannon headlining the squad.  Shannon threw for over 2600 yards, and 27 touchdowns for the Irish, while running for 8 more.  Similarly, Salem’s Jackson had a stellar year with 2,733 yards through the air and 33 touchdowns, alongside 1,238 yards on the ground and 20 more scores with his legs.

Harvard commit, Dean Boyd of Ursuline also pens his name on the second team with 52 grabs for 916 yards and 9 touchdowns on the campaign.  Blaize Exline had a stellar year and ends up on the second team with a 99-catch, 1,216-yard season that culminated with 17 touchdowns through the air, and 11 more scores on the ground, and several records along the way for the Quakers.

From the big boys, Ursuline’s Brian Frasco, and Isaac Lucas made it on the second-team O-line, while West Branch’s Mitchell Coffee was selected on the D-line.

Jakylan Irving of Ursuline represented the Ursuline defensive backfield with a second-team selection, and Ben Tolson of West Branch gained a selection on special teams.

Third Team All-Ohio saw Thomas Egli of West Branch etch his name on the defensive line.

Honorable Mention contained Beaver Local sophomore QB, Austin Cline and Dorian Jackson, East Liverpool’s Devin Toothman, Michael Gordon and Christian Colosimo of Poland, and Jake Dohy and Connor Strain of Girard.

Congratulations to all these young men and their families on representing themselves at the highest level in the Buckeye State.
