The drive was capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass from Ethan Lewis to Daniel With on a third & goal. A good extra point by Chase Flati gave the Beavers a 7-6 lead with 31 seconds left in the first half. A squib kick on the ensuing kickoff gave the Potters the football on their own 45 but Potters QB Nate Davis was intercepted by Beavers linebacker Nate Sprouse, preserving the Beavers 7-6 halftime lead.
The second half belonged to the East Liverpool Potters. East Liverpool started their first series of the second half in the Beaver Local 40 thanks to a 12-yard punt. On a fourth & ten from the Beavers 25, Davis would hook up with wide receiver Timmy Neal to give the Potters a 12-7 lead. On their next possession, the Potters would extend the lead as David would find Braidyn Wright on a crossing pattern from 14 yards out to give East Liverpool a 19-7 lead with 10:36 left in the fourth quarter. The Potters would score one more time with a minute remaining as running back Derek Carter scored on a 46-yard run to make the final score 26-7.

Neal.  However, that was not enough as Niko Walter answered  Neal’s touchdown with a dominant drive to take the lead once and for all.
The fourth quarter was scoreless, as Walter engineered a drive that ran nearly 9 minutes of 4th quarter clock.  The Potters finally stopped the Quakers at the Potter 2 yard line, but could not muster a final 2-minute drive. The Potters made a valiant effort and were able to move the ball to the Salem 41 yard line before Walter intercepted Potter quarterback Nate Davis to ice the game for the Quakers.

CREEK GROUND ATTACK TAKES DOWN POTTERS

/in /by
EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- There was a playoff atmosphere in the air at Patterson field as two Buckeye 8 rivals went to war Friday night. Indian Creek played ground and pound football to take the victory 27-13 as they racked up 292 yards rushing and 4TD on 46 carries. (6.3 YPC)
Time of possession played a huge factor as Senior tailback Trevor Fante led Indian Creek with 162 yards and two scores on the ground. This made it possible for Indian Creek to sustain long drives and wear down the Potter defense. A fresh Indian Creek defense was able to keep the Potter offense at bay after an early 84 yd screen pass from Junior Nate Davis was taken to the house by Nick Woodyard to give the Potters a 7-0 lead. Tied at 7-7 at the half the Potters came out looking fresh in the 3rd quarter and were able to finally break loose tailback Derek Carter on their first possession of the second half that was capped off with a 24 yard TD run by Carter to put the Potters up 13-7. After that score, Indian Creek tightened it up on Defense and stuck to the ground and pound offensive game plan that led to three unanswered TD’s by Indian Creek to give the Redskins a 27-13 victory.
The Potters will look to bounce back next week in what is one of the oldest Rivalries in all of high school football as the Salem Quakers will travel to Patterson Field.
