VALLEY CHRISTIAN DOMINANT AS EVER

/in /by

CAMPBELL OH-

As always Valley Christian showed up to play on Saturday night as they played host to the Leetonia Bears. Valley was undefeated coming into today and Leetonia had yet to win a game. The game was about as close as expected as Valley Christian was bigger, faster, stronger, and they have a lot more depth available. Tyree Washington was named player of the game after his pick six and rushing touchdown in the first quarter.

The Eagles never had a drive of more than six plays as their quick strike ability was in evidence as they scored every time their offense had the football. Jhordan Peete has his best passing game on the season as he was finding Gurley and Spradley all half long and earned a couple touchdowns to go along with it. Ja’Sean Lindsey pulled off some big runs again this week as his great season continues. Overall, this Eagles offense is developing into a team that may have a chance against the likes of Mogadore and Kirtland.

Valley Christian’s defense was dominant as always as they pitched their second shutout of the season and were playing in the Bears backfield all night long never allowing a rush of over 5 yards in the first half. The defense is now allowing just nine points per game through the first six weeks of the season.

The Bears had some bright spots on the night as their special team’s unit played excellently blocking an extra point and returned multiple kickoffs passed the 25-yard line. They will look to get this team healthy and make a push against their rivals in Lisbon and Columbiana in the final three weeks of the season.

The Leetonia Bears fall to (0-6) and will travel back home next Friday as they play host to the undefeated Southern Indians. Valley Christian continues their chase fir the EOAC title this season moving to (6-0) and will hit the road for the next three weeks starting with Columbiana on Friday.

/in /by

HANOVERTON OH- United entered week 5, coming off their first loss of the season, looking to quickly erase the memory of that defeat. Leetonia provided the eraser as the United offense wasted no time scoring quickly en route to a 44-0 victory on Alumni Night.

The Eagles took the lead early as Leetonia’s punter saw the snap sail over his head recovering in the endzone giving United a quick 2-0 lead on the safety. Following the ensuing free kick Luke Courtney hit Brock Rhodes in the flats and the senior wide receiver did the rest going 58 yds for the score. After a Leetonia 3 and out, Courtney found Grant Knight for a 35 yard touchdown pass and a 16-0 lead.

NIck Hardgrove would add a 35 yard touchdown run and the lead quickly grew to 23-0 in the 1st quarter. The 2nd stanza was much of the same as Luke Courtney would hit Parker Newburn from 9 yards out extending the lead to 30-0. Courtney would finish his night  in the first half going 6-6 135 yards and 3 touchdowns. Parker Newburn took over the signal calling at that point and he would find Hayden Casto for a 46 yard touchdown pass. Newburn would cap the first half scoring, adding another touchdown on the ground making it 44-0.

Leetonia (0-5, 0-2) is in the middle of a tough stretch of their schedule as they are set to travel to league leader Valley Christian next week. United (4-1, 1-1) looks to stay sharp heading into week six as they welcome Columbiana to Hanoverton.

/in /by

LEETONIA OH- Leetonia’s defense would not get a break in Week 3 as the Bears welcomed in the undefeated Broncos of Mathews. The Mustangs came into Week 3 outscoring their opponents 102-15.  The task was great for the Bears, and though their effort was commendable they fell to Mathews 49-0.

The Mustangs struck quick on a touchdown run by sophomore Dominic Toto. He would score again on a bubble screen for the Mustangs.  Mathews would then recover a fumble and run it back for a touchdown.  After that first half however, the Bears never stopped fighting holding the Mustangs to 14 second half points.
