SALEM QUAKES THE POTTERS

/in /by

SALEM OH- The Salem offense scored early and often, all in the 1st half Friday night, which led to a 38-6 victory in dominating fashion over Columbiana County rival East Liverpool. After scoring 40 points against Beaver Local, the Quakers picked up where they left off in week 2 and put up 38 unanswered 1st half points, en route to picking up their 3rd consecutive win to start the 2022 campaign.

Leading the way for the Quakers was Quarterback Jackson Johnson, who threw for 159 yards and four touchdown passes (Swiger, D. Monroy, Oesch-2), and ran for another. He spread the ball around to a number of different receivers on the night and they did a great job making contested catches, as well as picking up big yards after the catch.
Defensively, the Quakers ones suffocated the Potter offense, to the tune of 20 total 1st half yards and only one first down, which came with under four minutes to go until halftime.
With the 30 point separation between the two teams in the 2nd half, the 2nd string Quakers were able to see some snaps the entirety of the 3rd and 4th quarters.
Salem (3-0) will host Canton Central Catholic next week, while East Liverpool (1-2) will welcome rival Beaver Local.

POTTERS CANT FIND GOOD FORTUBE IN WINTERSVILLE

/in /by

WINTERSVILLE OH- Both East Liverpool and Indian Creek came into Week 2 wanting a win. Liverpool wanted to build off momentum from Week 1, while the Redskins wanted to find momentum after dropping their first game, it was Creek that would find all the fortunate breaks as they beat the Potters 26-14.

After Indian Creek scored first, East Liverpool put together a drive trying to to tie the game. A Michael Hardy 5 yard touchdown run put them within one, but the conversion failed and they still trailed 7-6.  The Redskins weren’t phased by the Potters score though as a couple more big plays gave them a 20-6 lead by halftime.

Indian Creek would swing the door open for a Potters comeback as they fumbled on a fake punt. The turnover set up a touchdown run by Gavin Wright.  It put the Potters within a score 20-14.  Indian Creek would once again answer as another score would seal the deal 26-14.

East Liverpool will need to bounce back in Week 3 as they have a big road test in Salem.

BEAVERS PROTECT HOME FIELD AGAINST LIVERPOOL

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL OH-

The Beaver Local Boys Soccer team started the season vs arch rival East Liverpool with a 2-1 victory in front of a large crowd at Fighting Beaver Stadium on Saturday night.  The game did not disappoint as both teams goalies started hot by making key saves to keep the game scoreless for the first 20 minutes of the game. That was until the Potters Wyatt McCune was able to get behind the Beavers defense and find the back of the night to put the visiting team up 1-0. This was short lived though as the Beavers Kaleb Mays was finally able to beat Potters goalie Malachi Reed to notch the score 1-1, where it would stand at half.

The 2nd half was much like the first, however things seemed to get tighter on both sides.  The Beavers and Potters style of wide open play seemed to change as more of a field position battle ensued.  The game remained tied at 1-1 for the duration of the second half, until just under 5 minutes left to play the Beavers  went on attack.  This is when a flurry of shots on goal led to  Junior Colin Gaydos  burying a rebound and eventual  game winner to the back of the net giving the Beavers a 2-1 victory over their rivals.   The Beavers (1-0) will look to keep things rolling at home on Tuesday when the Carrollton Warriors come to town.  Game is set to start at 7:00pm.

POTTERS MARCH AWAY FROM MINERVA

/in /by

MINERVA OH- The East Liverpool Potters entered the 2022 campaign with a ton of question marks. Friday night the young Potters hopefully answered some of those questions en route to a dominant 44-7 win over Minerva. First year head coach Don Phillips brought his over 30 years of coaching experience to East Liverpool in hopes of getting a young Potters squad headed in the right direction.  Early in the 1st quarter it appeared that the stage may have been too bright for the Potters as a muffed snap to the punter led to a Minerva 5 yard touchdown giving the Lions an early 7-0 lead.

The Potters would quickly answer, marching 60 yds before Sophomore QB Gavin Wright scampered untouched 4 yards to pay dirt, followed by a 2 point conversion giving the blue and white an 8-7 lead.  The East Liverpool defense took control from that point. Minerva, held without a first half first down, muffed their own punt in the endzone leading to safety increasing the East Liverpool lead 10-7.  Gavin Wright on the ensuing possession would strike through the air finding a wide open Michael Harty for a 26 yard touchdown pass, the 2 point conversion made it 16-7 at the half.

The second half was pure domination by the Potters as Gavin Wright struck quickly on a 63 yard touchdown finding Stephen Dorsey increasing the lead 22-7.  Wright would finish the game 4/5 121yds 2TDs. Running Back Trent Davis and the Potters offensive line took control from that point. Davis would put his team on his back carrying the rock 20 times for 128 yards, adding a one yard touchdown in the 4th quarter making it 28-7. MInerva would botch the ensuing kickoff giving the Potters another opportunity.

The next possession would see Jaymin Hainey take it 34 yards to the endzone making it 36-7. Michael Harty would cap the night for the Potters, scooping up a blocked punt and taking it to the house for his second touchdown . East Liverpool would finish the night out gaining Minerva in total yards 366-36, while limiting the Lions to just 2 first downs.  The Potters look to continue their winning ways next Friday at Indian Creek.

FOLLOW THE LESSON PLAN

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- They say “don’t wish your life away” when you’re young.  For East Liverpool Junior Kyia White, she’s been doing less of the wishing, and more turning dreams into reality.

The Potter Middle Hitter has certainly made waves in the early going of her career but is now cashing in on opportunities that many only could fantasize about- including a national championship this past summer in Indianapolis with her Junior Olympic team.

Make no mistake, though.  White has her eyes set on a conference crown as well as a big run in the playoffs alongside her teammates in 2022.  Now in her third year, leadership will be one of the tasks White must grab ahold of and show even more growth.

We caught up with Kyia to discuss all the events of the summer as well as the expectations she and her teammates have for this fall on this edition of East Liverpool Player Profile: Follow the Lesson Plan.

The Clippers scored first taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first.  Potter pitcher Mason Ludwig buckled down afterwards not allowing another run in his six innings of work striking out eight.  His counterpart Zachary Pleska was also up to the challenge as he pitched five frames striking out 10.  Pleska gave up two unearned runs in the fifth inning.  In the fifth after a walk, sacrifice bunt and single, the Potters set up shop with runners on the corners and one out.  While stealing second, two Clipper errors allowed East Liverpool to score two runs on one play and take the 2-1 lead.

Leaving a runner on third in the sixth the Clippers came to the plate in the top of the seventh with the top of the order.  Bayden Pipoly (2-2, 2 runs, 2 HBP) reached via a hit by pitch and stole second base.  Ian Less would draw a walk giving the Clippers runners on first and second with no one out.  After a pop out, Seth Spooner lined a two strike single to right scoring Pipoly and knotting the game up at 2.  Riley McElwain followed with a four pitch walk and Alex Eusebio played the role of hero hitting a hard ground ball with the bases loaded that the Potter shortstop could not handle cleanly scoring Less with the winning run!

Spooner picked up the win on the mound pitching two scoreless innings in relief of Pleska.  The win is Columbiana’s third straight.
