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.

 

CROSS YOUR T’S

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- There’s a name that’s been vastly under the radar this year for his team’s accomplishments, and that name is Jakob Cross.  Cross has been getting things done with his cannon arm and his dynamic legs.  Defenses are in a frenzy just trying to keep 5 contained, but having to give up double teams to his receivers means Cross will pick you apart with the rocket launcher on his shoulder.

While this week, Cross is nominated for Baird Brothers Big Dog of the Valley, he’s never been one to let outside distractions enter his gameday mentality.
