EAST PALESTINE OH- The 2020 season was exciting for the East Palestine girls program. In a very strange season plagued by COVID uncertainty the Bulldogs were rewarded an EOAC championship trophy.

EAST PALESTINE OH- Valley Christian got some major traction to head into the postseason on Friday night. The Eagles offense who had been struggling for a couple weeks caught fire to beat the Bulldogs 37-0.

It took a quarter of the game to find a rhythm, the Eagles only led 7-0 after one quarter. Two blocked punts for touchdowns in the second quarter seemed to be what struck the match for the Eagles though. It gave them a 22-0 lead. Joey Battista then found Jon’Trell Mixon for a score to make it 29-0 and let the Eagles run away with it.

Valley Christian will qualify for the OHSAA playoffs and await a Week 11 matchup. Stay tuned to YSN for further updates on schedules and pairings for postseason football.

EAST PALESTINE AND COLUMBIANA RESCHEDULE TO WEEK 11

/in /by

EAST PALESTINE, OH- Disappointment cast a cloud over the rivalry of East Palestine and Columbiana earlier today when it was announced that the game would be postponed due to COVID-19 protocols in Bulldog Country.

However, it didn’t take long for both teams to agree to resurrect the game in Week 11 to maintain what is still one of the most heated rivalries in the EOAC.  Two teams that have the traveling trophy between them, and many bragging rights from year to year will still match up against each other in 2021.

That’s a big feather in the cap of both communities considering this will be one of the few (Sebring/Leetonia) that have been rescheduled this year.

“It’s been a long-standing rivalry and we always want to play them. If we were forced to only choose one game to play in a season…it would be against our rival” says East Palestine Head Coach Tony Foster.

The game will be played in East Palestine on October 29th and will serve as Fall Senior Night for Bulldog Activities.
