TIGERS MAUL FITCH

/in /by

AUSTINTOWN, OH – In a game where the Austintown Fitch Falcons felt that they could put a ripple across the state of Ohio, the Massillon Washington Tigers showed exactly why they are considered to be the favorite come December to win another state championship, as they beat the Falcons, 55-7.

Peppered with multiple three-star recruits and a four-star wideout recruit, the Tigers took one play from scrimmage on a 42 yard touchdown strike from Aidan Longwell to Jayden Ballard. Ballard is a junior four star wideout who is committed to Ohio State. The real narrative in this game was the running game from the Tigers, led by the three-star recruit, Terance Keyes Jr. The senior running back, Keyes Jr., finished the first half with 16 carries, 185 yards and four touchdowns, which was when his night was done.

The lone score from the Falcons came on a 2 yard touchdown run from quarterback Devin Sherwood, which cut the Tigers lead to 14-7. A few plays prior, Sherwood found Donnie Ellis for a 35 yard completion.

Austintown was led through the air by Devin Sherwood with 1 completions on 6 attempts for 35 yards. Austintown was led on the ground by Devin Sherwood with 13 carries for 38 yards and a touchdown. Austintown’s leading receiver was Donnie Ellis with 1 reception for 35 yards.

Fitch now prepares to take on Bishop Hartley next Friday at Greenwood Chevrolet Falcon Stadium.

WARREN, OHIO – The Austintown Fitch Falcons came into the game 3-0, knowing the next four games of the season was going to be a gauntlet. On the other sideline was a team looking to even their record at 2-2, in the Warren G. Harding Raiders. It was a defensive struggle through the first half until late in the second quarter when Harding quarterback Elijah Taylor found Ty Artis on a 22 yard fade for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead at half.

Fitch came out in the second half looking to find their rhythm but were stymied at every turn. Harding’s Noah Murray tacked on a 35 yard field goal in the third quarter to put the Raiders ahead 10-0. Fitch’s offense was held scoreless until late in the fourth quarter when Devin Sherwood found Chris Evans on a 32 yard completion to the Harding one yard line. Sherwood then snuck it in himself to cut the deficit to three, 10-7, which would turn out to be the final.

Leading the Falcons in passing was Devin Sherwood with 10 completions on 15 attempts for 106 yards. Leading the Falcons on the ground was Devin Sherwood with 17 carries for 56 yards and one touchdown. The leading receiver for the Falcons was Chris Evans with 3 receptions for 58 yards. Defensively, Chris Scott and A.J. Winterburn led the way for the Falcons with 6 tackles each.
