TIGERS REEL OFF FIRST WIN OF YEAR OVER LISBON

WELLSVILLE, OH- In a battle of the only two Columbiana County schools to play for a high school state football

up 194 yards and 3 touchdowns through the air, while also chipping in a 1-yard TD run to open
up scoring on the night.

Isaiah Greathouse had a fantastic night for the orange and black, leading the Tigers in both in
rushing and receiving, and the sophomore jack of all trades came up with big plays when his
team needed it most several times on the night. Greathouse tallied 11 carried for 104 yards on
the ground and 8 receptions for 152 yards through the air. One of those eight receptions was a
92-yard touchdown on a third and long deep in the Tigers’ own territory.

and an impressive over the shoulder touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone. Caden
Weekley and Tyler Stanley were all over the field for the Tigers defensively, the duo had
multiple third-down stops and tackles for loss.

The Blue Devils kept themselves in the game by capitalizing on mistakes by the Tigers. Two of

Simms came up big on several defensive plays for the blue and white, including stops on third
