For Lisbon, Schreffler had 52 yards on 10 carries along with the score, he was also 3/8 passing on the night.  Chase McCoy toted the rock 8 times for 38 yards.  Tyler Welsh was the leading receiver with 2 catches and 12 yards.

FEED ‘EM SPAGHETTI: LEETONIA CLAIMS BOWL AGAINST LISBON

/in , /by

LISBON, OH- If you thought Marco Ferry was going to be content with just being one of the top rushers in Ohio, you’re sadly mistaken.

He is looking to take the rushing title and make a little history doing so.

Ferry led his Bears past Leetonia on Friday’s Spaghetti Bowl against Lisbon by the final score of 48-27.  Marco marched for 330 yards and visited the paint on 6 (yes, six) different times on the evening on 34 carries.  Lisbon wasn’t going to wave the white flag, though, as RJ Schreffler had a night as well-rushing 19 times for 96 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Dylan Lennon went 3/6 through the air for 26 yards and a touchdown, while on the Blue Devil side, Schreffler went 4-for-12 with 71 yards and a score as well.

Leetonia improves to 4-3, while Lisbon drops to 1-6 on the year.
