HANOVERTON OH- A young United team seems to keep improving as the season goes on and Thursday, they earned their second win of the season. The Eagles dominated Beaver Local from start to finish winning 53-28. The closest the game Hot was a 10-7 United lead in the first, then a 17-0 United run squashed any thoughts of a close game.
Taylor Cope led the Eagles with 15 points. Madison Kibler was also in double figures adding 10 points to the Eagles cause.
United moves to 2-4 and will host Crestview on Monday. The Beavers are still looking for their first win, and they’ll host Edison on Monday.
EAST PALESTINE OH- It’s finally postseason time on the volleyball courts across YSN nation! There are plenty of teams in the YSN family that have legitimate shots at long tournament runs. There are four number 1 seeds across the coverage area.
The tournaments look a little different this season, and yes it can be a bit confusing but don’t worry! We are here to clear things up. This season the regions were split into two, and each side of each region voted on seeding. In years past teams would only vote on their district, but this season they are effectively voting on two districts for seeding. Once seeded each team had the opportunity to choose between two district brackets to go into. 1 seed chose first, 2 seed second, and so on. That is why you will see a lot of these brackets have a 1 seed, and the next highest seed a 5. The brackets are separated and now area teams that would normally have to duel for a district championship might not see each other until regionals. Heres a breakdown of how each division looks about teams in the YSN family.
DIVISION IV:
Mineral Ridge was voted the one seed in their half of the region. The back to back MVAC Scarlet Champions finished the regular season at 19-2. They will play in the Northeast 2 bracket. Other teams joining them include 5 seed Columbiana, who finished the season 17-5. The Clippers are the next highest seed Ridge will have to deal with in their district. Wellsville is the 2 seed in Division IV, and they will play in the Northeast 1 bracket. Wellsville is 17-5 and owners of the EOAC crown. Joining Wellsville is Western Reserve the three seed with a record of 17-5.

DIVISION III

South Range was voted the 5 seed and is on the opposite side of the region bracket. The Raiders and Rebels would not meet until regional finals. United is another team to watch in the tournament. Voted the 6 seed, and a bye in the first round. They come in with a record of 14-8.

RICHMOND OH- The Beaver Local Defense wore the cape on Friday night, as they held Edison to just 35 total yards and sat back and watched their offense go to work on the Wildcats. The Beavers win their 4th game in a row in convincing fashion 48-0.
Tanner Johnston opened up the skies for the Beavers passing attack. He went 6-13 for 139 yards and 3 TDs. Beaver Local also gained 158 yards on the ground on 27 total carries. One of the many highlights of the game was Caleb White’s 59 yard touchdown catch off the throw from Johnston.
Edison struggles offensively. They carried the ball 46 times and only gained 35 yards.
Beaver Local will look to finish the regular season strong in Week 5 as they host a 4-1 Bellaire team. Edison will look to rebound as they host East Liverpool.
BEAVER OH- The Beavers continued their trail of dominance, as they picked up their second straight 49 point win and their 3rd straight W with a home win over the Minerva Lions at Pastore Field 56-7.
The scoring got started right out of the gate, literally. Senior Dylan Moore returned the opening kickoff for Beaver Local 82 yards to the house to open up the game. Things once again only got better for the Beavers. The following drive was capped off by a 33 yard TD pass to Sophomore QB Zane Kinsey. Minerva, after suffering 2 consecutive three and outs, had to start their next drive at their own 3 yard line. The Beavers capitalized big time, as on the first play Wyatt Loy made a tackle that resulted in a safety for the Beavers.
This made up for the failed 2 point conversion for the Beavers on the previous TD, and they would get the ball right back. Caleb White decided to get in on the kick return TD committee, as he took one to the house himself from 65 yards out. That made it 22-0. The Beavers then got the ball back with less that a 30 seconds to go in the opening quarter, and Tanner Johnston decided to hit the jets and outrun everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, on the Minerva defense as he took it 39 yards for the score.
From that point on, the Beavers got an interception from Dorian Jackson, which resulted in a 29 yard TD pass to Dylan Moore. They also got another 29 yard TD pass, this time to Caleb White to close out the first half at a 43-0 Beaver lead. They got two more rushing scores from the second string guys, one from Joe Monte and the other from Logan Blissenbach.
The Beavers allowed Minerva to score once in the second half, and won the game 56-7 to improve to 3-1 on the season, as Dylan Moore took home our G. Burbick Farms Player of the Game honors.
Beaver Local will travel to Edison to take on the Wildcats next week at 7:00 on Your Sports Network

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH – Coming off a massive 49-0 victory over Indian Creek, Coach Mike McKenzie and the Beaver Local Beavers are looking to keep that momentum going as they will play host to Minerva on Friday night.
The voice of YSN Beaver Local, Michael McKenzie, had the opportunity to sit down with Coach McKenzie to discuss the huge win over Indian Creek, what the Beavers and his coaching staff took away from that game to help them keep winning, but also what Coach McKenzie expects from his squad this week against the Lions.
All that and more in this week’s episode of Beaver Local Football Coach’s Corner with head coach, Mike McKenzie!

INDIAN CREEK OH-
The Beavers had nothing short of a perfect night, as they were able to debut their new turf field under all the lights, and they didn’t disappoint at all winning 49-0 against the Indian Creek Redskins.
The Beavers started with a defensive stop, allowing one first down to Creek in the first drive. They got the ball at the IC 32 to start their first drive, and tokk 3 plays to punch it in on a 15 yard TD pass from Tanner Johnston to Caleb White. The defense then shut down the Creek offense, getting 2 three and outs in a row, setting up 2 quick touchdowns. One a 37 yard TD pass from Johnston to Dylan Moore, the other a 40 yard TD run by Johnston, who took home our G. Burbick Farms player of the game honors.
Up 21-0 with just 49 seconds left in the first, Tommy Warrick made the rare defensive lineman interception and made the most of it, taking it to the house for a pick six. After one quarter, the score was 28-0, and things didn’t stop there. After a couple first downs, Creek punted the ball away, and the Beavers made another long house call. This time, it was senior RB Devin Salsberry, playing in his first game of the season due to injury, took it 45 yards to the end zone. To cap off the first half scoring, Logan Krulik got himself a pick six from 43 yards out to make it 42-0, the score at halftime.
One analogy I would use to describe the first half would be Ohio State playing Maryland or Rutgers last year. Joe Monte mad a 36 yard TD run in the second half, and that was it for scoring, as the Beavers opened up the new turf field at Pastore Field with a HUGE victory over the Indian Creek Redskins, the first time the Beavers had beat the Skins in over 7 years, and the first win over Andrew Conner’s team in Coach Mike McKenzie’s career
The Beavers will host the Minerva Lions next Friday on YSN Beaver Local.

BARNSVILLE OH-The Beavers took the hour and a half long road trip to Barnesville to take on the Shamrocks in hopes of winning their first game of the season, and they did just that.
Things started out slow for the Beavers, as they went down 9-0 after a TD and FG from the Shamrocks in the first quarter. The Beavers got themselves on the board with a 3 yard TD run from Caleb White to make it 9-7. Barnesville had an immediate answer 2 plays later with a 60-yard touchdown to Gage Hannahs, who found himself wide open, uncovered by the Beavers defense, to go up 15-7.
After some defensive stops by both teams, Beaver Local got the ball down 8 with 1:44 left in the first half. They pulled off the 2-minute drill to score before the half lead by senior QB Tanner Johnston, who connected with Logan Krulik for the 6, and then connected with Caleb White for the 2-point conversion, tying the game before the half.
The Beavers got the ball coming out of the half, and they made the most of it. They marched 54 yards down the field after getting great starting field position and scored in under 4 minutes. The drive ended with a Caleb White 2 yard TD run. The Beavers defense put up a brick wall from the 3rd quarter on, as Barnesville barely made it into plus territory in the second half. Tanner Johnston connected with Dylan Moore on the following drive for an instant impact 54-yard touchdown which was the first nail in the coffin for the Shamrocks. The final nail came in the form of a 31-yard touchdown pass to senior TE Nate Sprouse, making it 36-15, which would end up being the final score, as the Beavers get themselves up to .500.
They will debut their new turf next week in a Thursday matchup with Indian Creek. Kickoff at 7, pregame at 6:30 on YSN Beaver Local.
