SOUTHERN WINS EOAC FOR THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR

/in /by

CAMPBELL OH- Southern Local has been atop the EOAC for a good amount of time. On Saturday they had the chance to at least share the EOAC crown for the third straight season. They earned a share of the league with United, and Leetonia with a 37-19 victory over Valley Christian.

The Indians ground game set the tone for the game early as Hunter Morris led Southern down the field with his legs, and capped off the drive with a 2 yard touchdown to put the Indians up 8-0 after the completed two point conversion.

After a crazy play saw the Eagles score a touchdown, the Indians punched back with 21 unanswered points. Brad Sloan had the big play in the scoring run, catching a 58 yard touchdown.

Jon’Tae Pabellon ran well for the Eagles gaining 99 yards on 13 carries. The Eagles never stopped fighting in the game, and he was a big reason why.

Southern will hit the road in round 2 of OHSAA playoffs to face Newark St Paul. Valley Christian has a round 1 matchup with Lowellville on Friday night at Struthers.

LEETONIA OH-

Leetonia comes into Friday’s matchup looking for revenge from last years game that Southern won 50-7 in week 10. Leetonia and Southern both started off slow in the first half as both teams scored zero points. The third quarter was a different story for both teams though. Leetonia came out strong as Jaedon Finley’s 42 yard run set up a Marco Ferry 5-yard touchdown run. Leetonia missed their 2-point conversion bringing their lead to 6-0. Southern bounced back two plays after the Leetonia touchdown with a Josh Pratt pass to Brad Sloan for a 49-yard touchdown. Southern’s Garret Brewer would convert their extra-point to take the lead 7-6 to end the 4th. After a couple of 4 and outs for both teams, Leetonia had a 58-yard rushing touchdown by Marco Ferry and a 2-point conversion by Ferry to take back the lead 14-7. Southern with only 5 minutes left to go in the fourth scored another passing touchdown to Timmy West to bring their score to 14-13. Southern attempted a 2-point conversion and got stuffed by Leetonia’s defense. Leetonia would get the onside kick recovery and run out the clock to secure the victory for the Bears.

 Leetonia will head to Valley Christian to take on the (1-0) Eagles, and Southern will have a matchup against (1-0) Wellsville Tigers.
