WARRIORS SLAM PAST BLUE DEVILS

LISBON, OH – The final home game of the 2019-2020 regular season for the Lisbon Blue Devils saw them host the Brookfield Warriors in a non-conference match up. The meeting of these two teams will be the first in well over a decade. Both squads entered the game looking to build some momentum before the state playoffs begin next Tuesday.

Brookfield came out of the opening tip on fire as they connected on two threes but also pounded the ball inside as they took a 17-12 lead into the second quarter. The Blue Devils however matched the Warriors on the offensive end in the second but still trailed, 30-25, at the half. Once the second half got underway, the Warriors continued their offensive attack as they proceeded to outscore Lisbon 20-13 in the quarter. The Blue Devils tried to battle back in the fourth quarter but two thunderous slam dunks by Brookfield’s, Conner Stevens, put the game just out of reach for Lisbon as they would fall, 69-62.

The Brookfield Warriors were led by Conner Stevens with 17 points and both Gage Emery and Haden Gibson added 15 points.

The Lisbon Blue Devils were led by Blayne Brownfield with 27 points and 12 rebounds. Gaige Rohm chipped in with 12 points, as Ryan McCullough also added in 9 points and 10 assists. Nic Mundy was on the boards hard as well, racking up 7 on the night.

Up next for Lisbon (9-11) will be the final game of the regular season, as they will travel up to Jackson-Milton to take on the Bluejays on Friday night.

RISE OF THE ROHMAN EMPIRE

When you look at the Lisbon boys basketball program in recent years, one of the things you might see is that they have produced a lot of players that truly know how to shoot the ball and shoot it well. Gaige Rohm is another one of those shooters that can be seen on the floor this season as he returned back home to Lisbon from Virginia for his senior year of high school. Gaige has worked hard to perfect his shooting touch as he gets likes to get up as many shots as he can during the week in practice so on game day, he feels comfortable hitting some shots from deep. Although Gaige was away from the team throughout high school, the current senior class welcomed him back with open arms as he played with them throughout junior high. With that being said, most kids might miss a beat or be a little set back trying to fit in, for Gaige, he stepped right in and meshed great, and that can be seen on the floor as his chemistry with the others allows him to currently be shooting exactly 50% from the field on the season.

YSN’s own, D.J. Yokley was able to sit down with Gaige to talk about what it means to be back in a Lisbon Blue Devils uniform for his senior year, but also what the main differences are between playing down in Virginia compared to northeast Ohio, what his post-graduation plans are, and much more.
