CLIPPERS END THE SEASON WITH THREE STRAIGHT WINS

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- After having a tough season, it is always a great feeling to close out the regular season with a victory over a conference rival. For Columbiana, not only did they finish off with a win against Lisbon Friday night, they capped the season off with a 3-game winning streak. Although the Blue Devils struck first, the Clippers fought back in the second and third quarters to score twice in each to ultimately come away with a 27-6 victory over Lisbon.

Lisbon started the game off with an onside kick that they recovered and drove down to Columbiana’s 4-yard line. From there, Trevor Siefke found Austin Dailey in the endzone to go up 6-0. The pace would slow down going into the second quarter until Spencer Pruitt for Columbiana had an 18-yard run to put the Clippers on the board, then Joe Guido found Dylan Bregar for 26 yards to give them a 13-6 lead in the second quarter. In the third, Columbiana would just stack on more points thanks to Jesse Szmura who added a 4-yard rushing TD and Guido who scored on an 11-yard run and added the two-point conversion to finish the game off.

Lisbon has earned a playoff spot and will be on the road in round one. YSN will have the game available along with many others with the Playoff Power Pass on October 28th.

UNITED TAKES CARE OF THE CLIPPERS

/in /by

HANOVERTON OH- United came into week six action looking to maintain their edge as the EOAC conference schedule is full steam ahead. The Eagles offense sharpened that edge all evening as they took care of Columbiana 47-7 Friday night in Hanoverton.

The starting offense for United had to shake off some early rust having only played a little more than a quarter the previous week. Luke Courtney capped off a stalled opening drive connecting on a 34 yard field goal as the Eagles took the early 3-0 lead. Columbiana, dealing with numerous injuries, was down to their 3rd and 4th options at quarterback and struggled to get anything consistent going on offense. The Eagles offense would take advantage of what their defense was providing. Already leading 10-0, Luke Courtney and Grant Knight would hook up on a 50 yard touchdown pass and the Eagles were suddenly up 17-0.

Following another Clippers punt the Eagles took over deep in their own territory, looking to add to their lead. It was the Columbiana defense however who added to the scoring as Caleb Buchheit would intercept a Courtney pass taking it 33 yards to the house and the Clippers had life at 17-7. United squashed the Clippers momentum immediately as Jenson Baker would score from a yard out, capping a 50 second scoring drive and the Eagles were up 24-7. The combination of Courtney to Knight would connect again for the 2nd time increasing the lead to 31-7 on the next possession. Courtney would then tack on his 2nd field goal of the game from 32 yards making the score 34-7 at the half. Out of the locker room the Eagles offense was rinse-repeat as Courtney and Knight would do it for the 3rd time on a 25 yard connection as the score grew to 40-7.

Gavin Berger added a 22 yard touchdown run to cap off the night for the Eagles victory. Columbiana (0-6, 0-3) will head back home next Friday welcoming league leader Valley Christian to Firestone Park. United (5-1, 2-1) takes their high powered offense on the road traveling to East Palestine.
