IN ‘LEW’ OF THE STRUGGLE

In Beaver Local, there’s been a transition happening on the football field.  Coach McKenzie is taking the Beavers back to smashmouth, rough and rowdy football.  In a day where Wildcat formation and trick plays are all the hype, the Beaver look to regain their identity as the area’s top powerhouse team.  Back are the days where you knew you played the Red and White the next day because they left you black and blue.

Leading the charge in that capacity is Junior, Ethan Lewis.  Lewis, although a skilled position, has made his living off of being tough to take down.  In the midst of all the transition, Lewis has been a constant variable for success.  He’s adapted well into the program and serves as one of the leaders of this football team.  Although he has another year to play, that just scares the opposition even more, as that means he has another year to grow his game.  In lieu of the struggle the Beavers will face, Lewis will help provide the leadership.

Our Tommy Pease caught up with PJ on Friday to discuss what his vision is for this season, and after high school!  This week’s East Liverpool Player Profile is PJ Morris: MORRIS AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL IN LIVERPOOL.

After a very tough loss to undefeated Bellaire in Week 6, Coach McKenzie didn’t waste time turning the page toward his Week 7 opponent, Buckeye Local.

This week there proves to be much on the line and serves as a measuring stick for the rest of the year so to speak.  With a win this week- The Beavers can get things back on track, and gain some swagger going into their final home game next week.  A win this week shows that they can the ability to bounce back from adversity and to stay focused on what’s ahead.

All of these credentials lead to one young man in the East Liverpool lockerroom- Aidan Watkins.

The Potter senior has stepped in nicely to a role that was custom fitted to not only his abilities on the field but his attitude outside the lines.  With all the rich tradition that is East Liverpool football, the leadership role is not one taken lightly in Potterville, but one that is earned by the blood, sweat, and tear equity that has come for over a century in East Liverpool.

2018 just feels like a different year for the Potters.  Our Tommy Pease sits down with East Liverpool Senior Aidan Watkins in this week’s East Liverpool Player Profile- WATKINS PROVIDES THE SPARK
