BEAVER LOCAL COMEBACK FALLS SHORT AGAINST CADETS

/in /by

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.

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Beavers picked up a nice home victory over the Wellsville Tigers by the final score of 59-54 in a back and forth affair.

Beaver Local jumped out to an early 10 point lead, but a late bucket by Darrion Suggs and a three pointer from Luke Green cut the deficit to 5 to end the first. 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.

Luke Chetock and Nathan Barber each had 16 points to lead Beaver Local. Logan Reed would chip in 9 points.

Darien Suggs led the Tigers with 18 points while Luke Green finished with 14.

Beaver Local will look to get revenge on Linsly this upcoming Tuesday as YSN Beaver Local will have coverage of the 7:00 tip.

EL COMEBACK FALLS JUST SHORT

/in /by

NEW MANCHESTER, WV- The East Liverpool Lady Basketball Team has begun to develop quite the taste for comeback soup as of late.  Trailing last weekend at home against East Palestine, the Lady Potters were able to battle their way back and stole the game away, and on Monday, the Blue and White nearly did it again!

Oak Glen had to hang on for dear life as East Liverpool stormed back in the fourth quarter for 27 points and lost 67-64 to the Golden Bears.

Emma Ludwig led the way for East Liverpool with 23 points, while Mikayla Reed had 14.

POTTERS DEFEAT BEAVERS TO TAKE SEASON SWEEP

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Potters defeated the Beavers 64-59 on Tuesday in a classic rivalry game. The stands were packed, with not a single seat empty, and the expectations for the game were high.

Interesting events transpired to start the contest. The Beavers students were given noisemakers that they used on Potters offensive trips. On the third trip down the floor, the referees stopped the game to have the PA announcer ask the students to stop with the noisemakers, at which point, the whole Beavers side of the stands began clapping loudly to disrupt the Potters. The Beavers took advantage, having a 19-15 lead after 1. The second quarter had less clapping, but just as much action-packed basketball, as Beaver Local had the lead 31-30 heading into the half.

The third quarter was a heavyweight bout, as the team traded blow after blow. The Potters came out of it with a 4 point lead. Tre’shawn Jackson hit a couple of uncontested 3s to start the 4th and give the Potters nearly all the momentum. They took it and ran off with the 5 point victory. The Beavers drop to 7-6, while the Potters improve to 7-2.

For East Liverpool, Tresean Jackson had 26 tallies while Brennan O’Hara spotted 20 for the Potters.

The Beavers were led by the trio of Luke Chetok with 15, Josh Hilditch with 13, and Logan Reed with 11 points.

The next broadcast on YSN Beaver Local is this Thursday night when the Lady Beavers host Indian Creek at 7:00.

O’HARA COMES UP BIG AGAINST EDISON; POTTERS ROLL

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- One of the biggest threats in the area just got a little bit stronger with the emergence of a new star.  The East Liverpool Potters have been known to have big nights on the floor from the likes of their thousand point scorer, Tresean Jackson, and fellow bucket-filler, “The Real Deal” Timmy Neal.  Now, you can add another head to that monster as senior Brennan O’Hara had his Potter Party on Friday night in a big victory over Buckeye 8 opponent, Edison, 75-47.

O’Hara went off to the tune of 19 points and 5 helpers.  This coming just a week after sitting out the Steubenville game for health reasons.  Izaiah Browning had 17 points for the Blue Machine that included 5 splashes from beyond the arc.  Tresean Jackson would lead all scorers with 21 points, and Timmy Neal would chip in a dozen for the 6-2 Potters.

For Edison, Andrew Pugh led the way with 12 points while Jayden Sanders had 11.

The Potters have a huge Buckeye 8 matchup coming up on Tuesday in hostile territory.  East Liverpool will face off against rival Beaver Local in the Beaver Den, that game will be on YSN, but tickets are still available but will be sure to be a sellout.

The Wildcats will turn their attention to Buckeye Local on Tuesday at home.

KNIGHTS SNAP BEAVER LOCAL STREAK

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Beaver Local Beavers had a 4 game win streak snapped at home as they fell 51-40 to the St. Thomas Aquinas Knights.

The first quarter was filled with fireworks offensively, as the Knights took a 15-10 lead into the second quarter. From there, defenses dominated. The Knights created separation in the second quarter, as they took a 27-14 lead into the locker room. The second half wasn’t much different. It was an eleven point game heading into the 4th.

The Beavers finally found some offense and tried to pull closer to the Knights, but couldn’t finish the job, as late fouls cost the Beavers a comeback opportunity as they fall to 7-4 on the season.

They are back in action tonight, as they travel to Columbiana to face the Clippers at 7:00 on YSN Columbiana.

FROM DOWNTOWN; BEAVER LOCAL RUNS PERIMETER TO BEAT EDISON

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Beavers used the three-point shot en route to their 79-67 home victory over the Edison Wildcats. This was another tale of 2 halves.

To start the game, both teams went on run after run as Edison held the lead after one. Then, the teams traded baskets on each end as the Beavers took a 1 point lead into the locker room. After that, things started to click for the home team. The Beavers outscored Edison by 10 in the 3rd quarter and didn’t look back. Deep threes in the 4th from Josh Hilditch, Logan Reed, and Skylar Pappas helped put the game out of reach for the Wildcats and the Beavers collected their 4th win of the season.

On the stat sheet, Nathan Barber came close to a double-double (7 rebounds). In the past 2 games, Barber fell 2 boards shy of the feat and came into the night looking to finally accomplish his goal. He was on pace for it, as he had 5 boards and 9 points after the first half.

Barber will look to try it again as the Beavers (4-2)  return to action Friday at Wellsville and will return to YSN December 30, as the host Indian Valley on the Network with an approximate tip-off time of 7:00.

JACKSON JOINS EL ELITE; POTTERS ROLL PAST CREEK

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- There’s a quote that reads “When you know yourself, you are empowered.  When you accept yourself, you are invincible.”  On Tuesday, inside the Potter Fieldhouse, the ninth member of the 1,000 Point Club was inducted into that elite group to jog the courts of ELHS.  Tresean Jackson has not only found and accepted himself and the role on this team, but he has thrived in it.  Jackson led the Potters past rival Indian Creek with a 35 point performance on the way to an 82-39 victory.

Jackson stood at 965 coming into Tuesday night, and as he’s done all season- hit the nail on the head with a near-perfect performance to celebrate a special night in his career.  Tre drilled 5 from beyond the arc, and the rest came from dazzling moves and pull-up jumpers that sent the crowd home smiling.
