CARTER PROVIDES BLUEPRINT FOR LIVERPOOL, POTTERS TOAST BUCKEYE LOCAL

RAYLAND, OH- You could say that Senior Runningback Derek Carter had “A Night,” but then you’d just be scratching the surface.  Carter and his Potter teammates got the Blue Train chugging back on the tracks against Buckeye Local to the tune of 49-8.

Carter must be a fan of mp3’s because he broke several records on Friday when he ran for 217 yards on 17 carries which crowned him as the school’s All-Time Leading Rusher with 2,251 (and counting.)  That wasn’t all though, on those carries, Carter scored 6 times to break the East Liverpool record for scores in a game.  Collectively, the Potters ran for 290 yards on the evening with Devin Toothman running for 44 yards in his own right.

Nick Woodyard would go 4-6 through the air for the Potters but would put together a highlight reel touchdown at the end of the first half.

With the victory, East Liverpool evens its record at 4-4 (3-1 in Buckeye 8) and turns its attention to Weir in Week 9.

BEAVERS SHORTCHANGE CREEK

WINTERSVILLE, OH- The Beavers pattern of a win every other game and lose every other game continued, as they fell 37-7 to the Indian Creek Redskins Friday night.

It was a very entertaining game in the first half. The Beavers went three and out to start the game, and then recovered a fumble, which led to a missed field goal. Both defenses then were relentless until Creek got on the board towards the end of the first quarter. The Redskins held the lead for most of the first half. They had a 12-0 lead until Ethan Lewis connected on his 4th pass in a row to James Monte which cut the lead down to 12-7. That was the score at the half. It was all Redskins after that. They were only stopped twice on offense, as they scored on drive after drive. The Beavers tried to get some sort of run game going but weren’t able to against the stout run defense of Indian Creek. The Redskins won 37-7 on their senior night, establishing the run on offense and stopping it on defense. 

The Beavers fall to 4-4 and will face Martins Ferry back at home next week. Kickoff at 7:00, pregame at 6:40 on YSN Beaver Local.

BEAVERS ESCAPE PANTHERS 21-20

RAYLAND, OH- The Beavers overcame a 13 point halftime deficit to defeat the Buckeye Local Panthers 21-20 in a very controversial ending.

The Panthers lead 20-7 at the half, as they controlled the entire first half. They had 2 TD receptions by Hayden Taylor, who also answered the Beavers first score of the game with an 82 kickoff return TD. Something Coach McKenzie said in the locker room at halftime ignited a spark in this team because the Beavers controlled the second half. They forced a Buckeye Local punt to start the half and proceeded to score on a 13 yard TD run by Jacob Kane. Nobody scored until 6:50 left in the game when Jacob Kane ran it in from 1 yard out to tie the game. Then, the accurate leg of Chase Flati knocked the PAT through to give the Beavers the lead. Both teams then punted once, and the Panthers got the ball last with 1:56 to go. They converted a 4th and 10 to get the ball to the Beaver 30 yard line and then spiked it with 4 seconds left, but an illegal shift penalty was called on Buckeye Local. That meant the clock will start when the ball is placed down. The Panthers were still deciding on a play when they realized the clock was running. QB Seth Richardson spiked the ball, but the scoreboard read 0:00. The clock manager that ran the scoreboard read 0.88 seconds more accurately, but even though the PA announcer said it over the speakers, the officials still called it a game.

The Beavers will take their 4-3 record to Indian Creek next Friday. Kickoff at 7:00, pregame at 6:40 on YSN Beaver Local.
