CAMPBELL OH- Even though the Campbell Memorial Red Devils had a loss last week to Western Reserve, the team got momentum especially with the early lead into the game. They were looking to build upon that Tuesday in hopes of getting their first win of the season. However, there was a team waiting for them in the Lowellville Rockets with a record of three and two as the Red Devils were looking for their first victory at home this season. However, the Rockets would blast off early on with a 4-0 lead and never look back into the game. The closest Campbell got to cutting the lead down was at ten points as they would be down at the end of one 20-10 and at the half 33-22. Even though they were down, all they had to do was eliminate the early turnover mistakes and get back on track to winning this game. Unfortunately, that did not happen as Lowellville pulled away winning by the final of 76-41.

Sophomore Anthony Lucente led the Rockets with 18 points, eight of those being inside the paint. Vinny Ballone another Sophomore finished with 17 points, getting six points on two’s and a three.

BERLIN CENTER OH- After the upset loss to Jackson Milton last Friday, the Western Reserve Blue Devils were looking for a bounce back win on Senior night, hosting another devil team in the Campbell Memorial Red Devils who were hungry for their first win of the season as they have been close a couple times, but now it was time to finish. The first quarter seemed to have been a little shocking again as Campell got out to a big 11-0 run before Western Reserve got their first buckets of the night thanks to a Ryan Gordon layup. At the end of the first, it was 17-15 Red Devils. However, that little upset possibility did not last long as Western Reserve was 39-28 at the half and never looked back as they pulled away quickly, beating Campbell 75-54, moving back to .500 with a three and three record.

Stats: Ryan Gordon finished with 26 points hitting two three from behind the arc, Noah Klasic had 10 points in the paint along with 25 total points, David Altiere had eight points, David Ashburn had five, Nick Martin finished with four points, Russell Adair with three. Meanwhile, Jake Pappagallo and Gabe Platt played excellent defense blocking shots, finishing a combined four points.
