/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL OH- Beaver Local welcomed rival East Liverpool to the Beaver Dome for a much anticipated rematch after the Beavers took the previous meeting in August. New location same result as the home standing Beaver Local team extended their win streak to six with a four set 27-29, 25-14, 25-13, 25-12 victory.

The game most importantly also doubled as the annual Volley for a Cure match. “The true winner on the night was the community and families we were able to raise funds for” Head Coach Sarah Lowe stated on the event. It was on court this Saturday afternoon where the Potters came out of the gate strong and aggressive early capitalizing on Beavers’ mistakes mid way through the first set rallying to the 29-27 victory. The success was limited to the first set however as the Beavers, behind a very raucous student section, were able correct their mistakes and took control the rest of the way.

The offensive attack was on full display Saturday, Beavers Head Coach took notice. “Tonight’s attack was a full team effort from our defense, to our setters, and our hitters.” Grace Hill’s 15 kills, 3 blocks and Elizabeth Kolkowski’s 12 kills, 7 blocks made life really tough in middle for the Potters. Brooke Talbot again had another solid all around performance tallying 17 kills, 4 aces, 9 assists, 14 digs, and 2 blocks.

Emma Joseph set up the offensive attack with a team high 31 assists. The defense would not be overshadowed for the winners, Kodi Kinsey 33 digs, Bailey Bowersock 18 digs, and Leah Riccardo 11 digs all were solid in their performance. It was that performance by the defense that Coach Lowe knows is the backbone to their success. “Without our strings in the backrow and our smart setters our team would not be who we are.”

The Beavers (11-1) will look to keep moving full steam ahead as they welcome Harrison Central on Monday for Senior Night.

ALL 4 ONE

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- When taking a look at standout area athletes, if you’re truly looking, it won’t be hard to find a soon-to-be household name: Kyia White.  The East Liverpool sophomore might be the area’s best-hidden gem student-athlete we’ve seen in years.  Mostly because of the way she handles herself on and off the court, Kyia tries to steer clear of the limelight, and pushes the attention to her teammates, coaches, and the program itself.

Although still young, and always learning, White has taken a leadership role on the floor for Coach Dan McKinstry’s squad.  A gander at MaxPreps will tell you that White’s serves are good over 97% of the time, and leads the conference and is ranked in the nation in kills, which, sets her offense up for success- and in turn, has helped the Potters get out to a great start this season!

We had a chance to catch up with the vibrant volleyballer in this week’s East Liverpool Potter Profile: All 4 One.

BEAVERS LEAVE NO DOUBTS AGAINST EAST LIVERPOOL

/in /by

The Beavers picked up a MASSIVE rivalry victory against the East Liverpool Potters 48-0 on Friday night.

The game started a little slow offensively, as both teams were forced to punt to start the game. The Beavers drew first blood on a 5 yard TD pass from Austin Cline to Dorian Jackson. That would be the only score in the first. Following another Potter punt, the Beavers capped off another TD drive with a 17 yard TD run by Austin Cline, silencing some “Overrated” chants from the opposing fans. Then as the first half neared an end, East Liverpool fumbled the ball inside their own 5 yard line for it to be recovered in the end zone by Zane Mccoy, and all of a sudden Beaver Local lead 21-0 at half, and shock fell over the entire stadium.

The Potters were slated to receive the second half kickoff, but they failed to recover a short, high kick and let the Beavers pounce on it. They capitalized with another Austin Cline TD run to make it 28-0, and the Potters grave had been dug. East Liverpool tried to climb back though, as they put Devin Toothman in as a wildcat QB, but that experiment was unsuccessful, as the Beavers got the ball back yet again. Blake Lucas got into the end zone, making it 35-0 and sealing the Potters fate in the third. TDs by Joe Monte and Tyler Prideau capped off the scoring, giving the Beavers a 48-0 win in a blowout nobody expected.

The Beavers will now turn their attention to the Edison Wildcats, as they meet at Pastore Field for the Beavers homecoming game. Kickoff at 7:00.

POTTERS PULL AWAY FROM COLUMBIANA TO GRAB MOMENTUM

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- The last time these two teams met, it went into extra innings.  This time, the exact same thing happened, but, who would be the one to come out on top at Firestone Park as the 16-7 Columbiana Clippers took on the 10-12 East Liverpool Potters.  

 

The first three innings of the game saw the fielding play the advantage with both teams not giving each other any inch.  However, the top of the fourth is when things changed.  The Potters got the first runs when Paxton Grimes singled on a ground ball to center field, having freshman Jake Smith head home.  They would get two more runs when Evan Tice and Grimes once again scored from a wild pitch and a grounder making it three to nothing.  

 

However, the Clippers didn’t go away.  They would get three unanswered runs from Cameron Sloan who went home off of a ground ball,  Seth Spooner who got home from a line drive off of Logan Hoschar.  The talented fielding on each end continued as once again these two would head to extra innings.  

 

The Potters got another run in the top of the eighth as Mason Ludwig had a pop up which sent Tice home once again.  The next run was then from Devin Toothman who scored from Trent Davis double to left field making it five to three.  

 

After a few outs, it was Columbianas turn in a do or die situation.  The inning would come into favor as junior Brady Krindler hit a ground ball which reached an error by the senior second baseman Derek Klein.  McElwain would score from that play cutting it now to only a one run game with the Clippers sending it into the ninth inning and going 2-0 in the series.  

 

However, this time extra innings did not go their way as Trevor Dearing popped a fly ball to left field which was caught by Anderson Fitch giving East Liverpool the big upset five to four and some momentum heading into their last game and the tournament.  

 

Jake Smith led the Potters to a victory allowing three hits and one run, striking out one and walking one. Derek Klein started the game and Paxton Grimes got some pitching time too.  

 

Logan Hoschar took the loss for the Clippers, surrendering two runs on one hit over an inning, striking out one and walking one.  Zach Pleska started the game on the mound, allowing three runs on four hits, striking out 13 and walking one. 

 

Up Next

East Liverpool (11-12) look to end their regular season at .500 as they face rival Beaver Local (10-10).  These two teams are tied in a series this season, as East Liverpool got a 12-1 victory but the Beavers won the first time around 7-5.  Tomorrow at one at East Liverpool, we see who wins the series.  Game is set for 1pm Saturday. 

 

Columbiana (16-8) will head to Salem on Monday the 17th to face the Quakers (21-3).  Game will be at 5pm.
