BULLDOGS BITE BACK AGAINST CLIPPERS

/in /by

NEW WATERFORD, OH-  Cameron Wischerman’s three-run double with two outs in the third inning carried the East Palestine Bulldogs past the Columbiana Clippers here Wednesday afternoon.  

The game was almost a copy of Monday’s matchup in reverse.  This time it was the Clippers jumping out to a two-run lead in the first and the Bulldogs coming back with the one big hit to make the difference.  Ryan Fahs, Chase Franken, and Brady Dixon lined three straight singles in the first to plate the lone runs for Columbiana. Dalton Vance shrugged off the shaky start and settled in to shut down the Clippers over the final six innings to get the complete game victory.  He struck out 10 while allowing just four hits. Ryan Fahs pitched well in the loss. He went five innings giving up the four runs.

The Bulldogs big inning was set up by two walks and a base hit from Justin Hooley after two were out.

CLIPPERS LEASH BULLDOGS

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH-  Chase Franken settled in after a rough start to the 2019 campaign going the distance as Columbiana defeated East Palestine 5-2 here at frigid Firestone Park.  After the Bulldogs scored two unearned in the first and threatened in the second, Franken retired 16 of the last 17 en route to complete game win. He struck out 11 and walked two.

The Bulldogs had an aggressive mindset at the plate.  Connor Elliot hit the first pitch of the game to left center for a double and scored on a ball that got through the left side.   With two out, another error allowed Dalton Vance to score for an early 2-0 advantage. However, Sean Helpy gave up two walks to start the bottom of the second which set up the Clippers’ go-ahead inning. Wayne Davis had the big hit. His knock scored Zach Pleska, and Erik Hopfenziz followed after a throwing error. Davis then scored on a wild pitch to put the Clippers ahead for good 3-2.   They added single runs in the fourth and sixth as junior Ryan Fahs had an RBI single.

There weren’t many hard-hit balls as a cold, biting wind made it very difficult for both teams at the plate.  Helpy was the hard-luck loser as he pitched effectively into the sixth.

The Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference and Route 14 rivals will meet again in East Palestine at the Next Level complex on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

RAIDERS SINK CLIPPERS

/in /by

CANFIELD, OH– A solid, stingy defense and just enough offense enabled South Range to oust Columbiana 52-32 here Friday night.  The Raiders frustrated the Clippers attack all night long not allowing them to find any rhythm.

The defensive nature of the game was evident from the outset.  Both teams tenaciously challenged each other making offense difficult to execute.  It was the Raiders though who were able to open up a lead late in the first quarter and control the action the rest of the way.  Nick Matus had a strong start scoring 7 points giving the Raiders a 16-7 lead after one, and South Range took a 25-12 advantage into the locker room.

Columbiana kept the game within reach through three quarters getting as close as ten points with 3:20 to play in the third.  South Range led 37-25 heading to the final stanza before steadily pulling away.

 Chris Brooks led all scorers with 15.  Jaxon Andersen had 10 while Ben Irons, Dante Digaetano, and Matus chipped in with 7 apiece.  Sean Whitehead scored all of his 14 in the second half, and Matt Mazei netted 9 for the Clippers whose strong second half of the season ended with a 13-11 record.

South Range (17-6) head to Salem for a District semi-final against Canton Central Catholic Tuesday at 7 p.m.

LISBON BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER W/ CHRIS HUCKSHOLD (EP 1)

/in /by

Drive, determination, and battling adversity is where the 2019 Lisbon Blue Devils have come from this season.  Having to adjust on the fly has been a big part of building the path this season, and one that still has the makings for big things.

If you could see the effort that the Lisbon Coaching staff puts their players in to succeed, it’s astonishing.

Opponents film is broken down to its very foundation and drilled in practice.  Repetition of how plays work, and why they’ll be successful.  Having an entire team believe not just in the vision, but the purpose of each other.  All things that are preached and instilled by Lisbon Head Basketball Coach, Chris Huckshold.

We caught up with Lisbon’s leader prior to the District game against Sebring to see what has the world talking about the Blue Devils this season, as well as who is role model was on his way up the ladder.

All that and more on this week’s Lisbon Basketball Coach’s Corner with Chris Huckshold!

SWEENEY HITTING HIS STRIDE: JUSTIN TIME

/in /by

Close your eyes for a moment.

It’s your senior year.  You’ve dreamt of this moment since you were a young Lisbon Blue Devil.  Since the time you first laced up your shoes and wore the “L” proudly in front of your community.

Now imagine all you’ve worked for being taken away from you with one misstep, one accident, one freak play.  The heartache, the frustration, the anger.  There’s no way you’ll be able to play, and if you somehow made it back later that year- you wouldn’t be the same.  It’s enough to make anybody throw in the towel and give up.

Anybody but Lisbon’s Justin Sweeney.

The Senior Blue Devil suffered what seemingly should have been a year ending injury.  However, just a few months after a devastating knee injury Sweeney lived up to his epic tweet on that tough night in Northeast Ohio.

Justin.  Sweeney.  Was.  Back.

Not only did he come back, but he became the scorer he was, and the one he was always meant to be.  Lisbon’s All-Time Scoring Leader!

Now with his team one way away from District play, Sweeney will take the floor on Friday against Sebring with momentum on his team’s side.  Lisbon looks to repay a debt that was served on the Devil’s home court two years ago when Sebring upset Lisbon to advance in the tournament.

We sat down with Justin for this week’s Lisbon Player Profile: SWEENEY HITS HIS STRIDE: JUSTIN TIME.
