However, the Beavers know what is at stake this week and were very focused in defeating the Warriors in straight sets 25-8, 25-22, 25-17. Briar Wolski and Peyton Roberts kept the Warriors guessing all night with 10 kills a piece. Aleia Evanko had 15 assists, while Emma Joseph contributed 7. Chloe Reed gave the team 18 digs.

CADIZ OH- The Beavers picked up another blowout victory, dominating Buckeye 8 opponent Harrison Central by a final of 65-7
After Beaver Local forced a punt on the first drive of the game for the Huskies, Caleb White took a hand-off 99 yards on the first play from scrimmage, and the Beavers were off to a 7-0 start. Harrison Central then fumbled on their first play the ensuing drive, and it was another 1 play TD drive for the Beavers, as Austin Cline threw his 1st of 3 TD passes on the day, this one to Dylan Ferguson from 24 yards out and in the blink of an eye it was 13-0 Beaver Local. They added a 31 yard FG from Kaleb Mays, a safety on special teams, and a 3 yard TD run from Hayden Beebout to get it to 25-0 at the end of the first quarter. The Huskies finally had an answer to start the second quarter, as Hayden Cassidy hit Parker Hutton for an 18 yard score to cut it to 25-7. Beaver Local went out and responded though, as Cline hit Ferguson again for a 53 yard TD to push the lead back up 32-7.
Cline’s 3rd TD pass of the day was a bit of a scramble drill where he found White in the back of the end zone from 10 yards out which made it 38-7 at the break. The second half was all defense for Beaver Local, as they had three straight pick sixes to push the lead up to 58-7. Caden Foster, Tyler Prideau, and Keaton Heddleston all registered interception returns for a TD. Taylor Johnston then ran one in from 3 yards for his 3rd TD in 2 games to put the cherry on top of a 65-7 victory. It was tied for the largest offensive output this season for the Beavers, and their third 60+ point offensive performance of the season.
The Beavers move their winning streak to 5 games, as they will head into their home matchup with Indian Creek at 5-2.

EAST LIVERPOOL OH- The Beavers picked up a big time win on Friday night, defeating the Keyser Golden Tornado 31-10.
The Beavers started the game out on fire. They forced a three and out and took the ball downfield on a methodical TD drive capped off by a 4 yard TD pass from Austin Cline to Dylan Ferguson to make it 7-0 early. A field goal a few minutes later made it 10-0 Beavers, but the West Virginia AA school wasn’t going to make the long trip and not put up a fight. They put up a field goal of their own early in the second quarter and a TD run from Tristen Root to tie the game.
Austin Cline responded quickly as he ran in a 15 yard TD to make it 17-10 at the half. In the second half, the Beavers played in a way we haven’t seen all year. They were able to answer some early season questions about their line play and run defense by shutting out the Keyser Golden Tornado in the second half, stifling their run game which had picked up steam before the half. A couple Caleb White TDs sealed the deal, as he ran one in from 20 out in the third and in the 4th, he caught a 22 yard TD to put the game on ice. The 2 touchdowns for the Big Dog of the Valley nominee puts him at 10 scores in the last 3 weeks and 13 scores on the season, as the Beavers picked up the W.
They will entertain Oak Glen, another West Virginia team next week for their homecoming matchup.

EAST LIVERPOOL OH- When you look at the numbers, Beaver Local quarterback Austin Cline doesn’t get out done by too many. He had a remarkable first year under center in the Beavers offense. So the question coming in to 2022 was how would you raise the bar? The greatest athletes never settle. You can bet all your money that a line has not settled for one good season under his belt. He has put his head down and worked harder than ever before to reach new goals. One of those goals set this season was to bring down the interception number from last year. Only throwing 6 INT in a season is good for most, but Cline isn’t satisfied with that. So far through three games he has only thrown 1 INT, so he is well on his way to having a lower number in 2022.
Cline took the time to come on YSN’s Running Point on Thursday to give us a look into his year. He talks with DJ Yokley, and Anthony Hartwig about the rivalry week against East Liverpool, some fun team nicknames you have to hear to believe, and much more.
