TIGERS STAY UNBEATEN

/in /by

LEAVITTSBURG OH- Not only was this a conference rivalry game between these two teams, but this was a battle between the 36 and 38th team in Division three Men’s basketball as the LaBrae Vikings with a record of four and one were taking on the 2-0 Newton Falls Tigers.  Last time these two teams met was in the playoffs last season and now the Tigers with limited games were looking to get revenge while the Vikings were looking to continue the winning streak.  

First Half

The first quarter was all Newton Falls as they started the game with an eight point run, until LaBrae cut it to four.  However, the Tigers would lead at the end by one 15-8.  In the second quarter, it was back to back between the two teams and it looked like the Tigers would lead going into the half.  However, a foul happened which led to two made free throws by LaBrae as both teams went into the half tied at 27.

Second Half

The third quarter was still close but Newton Falls was still up 39-31 as what was a defensive game was becoming more offense for the Tigers with momentum on their side.  In the end, the game came down to the wire with Landon Kiser, and Aiden Stephens leading the Viking squad against Joey Kline and Jordan Dowling.  Newton Fall was leading but they would foul Connor Meyer which would give him three opportunities to make three free throws.  In the end, two of the free throws were missed as the Tigers improved to 3-0 winning 51-46

Josh Honeycutt finished with 16 points, Jordan Dowling had 11 points, Joey Kline finished with 10 points, Cole Marquette who was dangerous in the paint finished with nine, bench player Jake Kline finished with five and Alex Pennington had two.

THE BLUEPRINT (VOL. 6)

/in /by

LEAVITTSBURG, OH – When talking to the Labrae community and fans, the most common talking point is football. This passion and excitement surrounding the Vikings football team comes from a great program that is being built every week by Coach Armeni but also how the players believe in the team and themselves just as much as everyone else. This drive to succeed stems from great leadership on and off the field by many players within the LaBrae football family and one such leader is junior running back/defensive back, Devin Carter!

Devin has been on the varsity stage for three years but he has wasted no time showcasing his football talents as he is already LaBrae’s all time leading rusher! By proving his ability on the football field, Carter is able to lead by example but he is also an incredible teammate too. He is the first to give credit to everyone around him that helped him achieve his goals as an individual, such as his offensive linemen who create the holes and get great blocks to spring him free to pick up great yardage. Devin is also a great leader in the classroom and community, which is allowing him to create a buzz in the LaBrae area.

YSN’s own, Steve Leslie, had the opportunity to sit down with Devin this week via video chat to talk about his career so far as a Viking, what some of his goals are for this season as LaBrae is currently in the third round of the playoffs against Wickliffe, what his plans are for after high school, a rapid fire question session to learn some of the things that not many people know about himself, and much more!

Make sure to take some time to check out this exclusive player profile with LaBrae Vikings junior football star, Devin Carter!
