POTTERS BEST BEAVER LOCAL IN BACKYARD BRAWL

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- Thursday night lights at East Liverpool had fans on the edge of their seats as the Potters staged a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against the Beaver Local Beavers, turning a 9-0 deficit into a 14-9 win.

For the most part, the game was a kicker’s showcase with Beaver Local’s Kaleb Mays booting field goals from 22 and 43 yards in the dying moments of the first half, and adding another 22-yarder in the third quarter. His boots had Beaver Local sitting comfortably at 9-0 heading into the final quarter.

But as the clock ticked down in the fourth, East Liverpool’s offense woke up. Gavin Wright, the Potters’ QB, connected with Blake Adkins on a massive 79-yard touchdown pass. Kamdin Miller tacked on the extra point, and just like that, the Potters were back in the game. With the momentum shifting, Wright wasn’t done. He found Julius Jones for a 27-yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes left, and another Miller kick later, the Potters had their first lead of the night at 14-9.

Despite the Beavers’ earlier dominance, their 292 total yards and 16 first downs weren’t enough to secure the win as the Potters’ defense held tight when it mattered most, and their late offensive surge turned the game on its head.

Beaver Local, while showcasing a solid game through three quarters, will no doubt feel the sting of letting this one slip through their fingers. They’ll look to bounce back against their Columbiana County rival, Salem, next Friday.

East Liverpool, on the other hand, rides high with this comeback and faces a tough test against the unbeaten St. Clairsville next Friday night. If they can carry the momentum from this win, that matchup is sure to be a barnburner.
