After the break, the Beavers came out firing, getting transition bucket after transition bucket to open the fourth quarter with a 30 point lead. Coach Nick Miller then took the seniors off the floor one by one as the fans gave them a standing ovation. The Beavers won by the final score of 91-51. They improve to 12-8 heading into OVAC play.

BEAVER LOCAL COMEBACK FALLS SHORT AGAINST CADETS

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Beavers comeback bid against the Cadets fell short on Tuesday night as they suffered a 46-36 loss to Linsly in an exciting game.

The first half had the same sequence multiple times, as the Cadets would jump out to an early lead and stretch it multiple times, but Beaver Local would not go away, making mini runs to stay in the contest. Luke Chetock made a couple of crucial buckets to end the first half, as the score was 20-14 in favor of Linsly after 16 minutes of action. The third quarter was all Linsly, as they forced a few turnovers and got fast-break buckets to go up big to start the 4th quarter. The Beavers stormed back though, rattling off 10 straight points to cut the deficit from 16 to 6 halfway through the final quarter. The Cadets finished the game from that point on, as Caleb Murray delivered a couple of daggers to seal the deal and hand Beaver Local the home loss. The Beavers fall to 9-7 with tonight’s result.

Wellsville found a groove after that, taking the lead for the majority of the second quarter, as Justin Wright and Troy Carter found a couple buckets each in the post to find a 26-23 lead at the half. 

The Beavers came out of the locker room swinging and took the lead right back and stretched it to 8 entering the 4th. Wellsville went on a couple of runs and pulled to within one possession multiple times in the final quarter, but couldn’t finish the job as the Beavers took home the dub. They improve to 9-6 on the campaign.
