BLUE DEVILS PROD WELLSVILLE

/in /by

LISBON, OH- Lisbon rolled to a convincing 14-3 win over Wellsville on Thursday, thanks to some heavy lifting from the bottom of their lineup. Carter Oliver, Logan Sturgeon, and Marc Moore turned the game around, combining for five of Lisbon’s 10 hits, scoring four runs, and driving in four.

Wellsville initially took the lead with a two-run wild pitch in the first inning, and they tacked on another run in the second when Tyler was hit by a pitch.

Lisbon quickly turned things around in the bottom of the second. Moore, Oliver, and a dropped third strike brought in a total of four runs, pushing Lisbon ahead 5-3. They didn’t let up, adding more runs in the third off a passed ball and another RBI single from Moore.

The fourth inning saw Lisbon break the game wide open, scoring five runs from hits by Ryan Carpenter, Aiden Myers, Bryce Esarey, Sturgeon, and another double from Moore.

Sturgeon picked up the win, pitching three and two-thirds innings of no-hit ball, striking out five. Myers started the game for Lisbon, and despite a rocky start, the team bounced back. Richie, Wellsville’s starter, struggled through four innings, allowing 13 runs, but only eight were earned.

Moore was the standout for Lisbon, going three-for-three at the plate. Oliver and Esarey also contributed significantly, each with two RBIs. Lisbon showed patience at the plate, drawing six walks, with Gage Owens and Carpenter each walking twice. The team was aggressive on the bases, stealing eight in total.

Defensively, Lisbon was solid, committing no errors with Carpenter getting the most action with six fielding chances.

Lisbon’s next challenge is a game against East this Friday.

SIEFKE DOUBLES DOWN ON ALL-STATE SELECTIONS

/in /by

LISBON, OH- It wasn’t long ago that Lisbon senior Trevor Siefke earned 1st Team All-State in football and Academic All-Ohio by  The Ohio High School Football Coaches Association (OHSFCA), and now he has done it again with state honors in basketball. Siefke has earned All-State basketball honors for three consecutive years. He has also been named Academic All-Ohio by the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association (OHSBCA). Siefke is only the second student in Lisbon’s history to receive state basketball honors for three consecutive years.  

Coach Chris Huckshold has been Siefke’s longtime coach and remarks, “Trevor’s level of play on the court and dedication to his academics make him a great leader on our team on and off the court. There is no better deserving nominee for this award,” He continues, “I’ve seen Trevor grow as a kid and as a player. I’ve coached him since he was in 4th grade and so he is more than just a basketball player, he is a good person and a well-rounded individual going out into the world. I am proud of him.” 

The All-State recognition and Academic All-Ohio awards are based on Siefke’s accomplishments on the court and in the classroom. The qualifications for Academic All-Ohio nominees are arduous requiring a 3.6 GPA or higher and  All-State recognition to be considered. DAHS High School Principal, Keith Edenfield, explains, “To receive one of these awards is commendable, but to receive All-State honors and Academic All-Ohio honors in multiple sports is truly incredible. DAHS is proud to have Trevor represent Lisbon at a state level in both football and basketball.  Trevor is the epitome of a student-athlete.”  

For his part, Siefke says, “It’s an honor to be part of Lisbon’s history. There is no other school that I would rather be a part of and make history for.” He credits his dad (Lisbon Schools Superintendent Joe Siefke) and his teammates for his success saying, “My Dad has always played a big part in motivating me to take the next step. My teammates  have helped me throughout all four years and I couldn’t have done it without them.” 

Siefke’s historic basketball career includes All-State honors for three consecutive years including Honorable  Mention All-State for his sophomore and junior years and Special Mention All-State for this year.  

 

LISBON LOCKS DOWN COWBOYS

/in /by

LISBON, OH- Brady Carpenter turned in a stellar pitching performance, striking out 12 batters to lead the Lisbon Blue Devils to a commanding 6-1 win over Chaney.

Carpenter was in control from the start, allowing just two hits and a single run across seven innings, issuing only a couple of walks along the way.

The Devils wasted no time getting on the scoreboard. In the very first inning, Aiden Myers made it count by grounding out to bring in the opening run. While the Devils’ bats were active, it was Carpenter who stood out not only on the mound but also at the plate. He went 2-for-3 and drove in two crucial runs, helping his own cause and bolstering the team’s lead.

On the opposing side, Johnson struggled with the Devils’ lineup. The Chaney starter was pulled after four and a third innings, during which he surrendered five runs, but only two were earned due to some fielding missteps. He managed to rack up five strikeouts and walked one.

Alongside Carpenter, Marc Moore and Ryan Carpenter each notched two hits. Moore showed off his speed, stealing two bases as part of a total of four steals by the team, which kept the pressure on Chaney throughout the game.

Chaney did manage to scrape together a run thanks to Moon, who drove in their lone run and was one of just two Chaney players, alongside Polk, to hit safely against Carpenter’s dominant outing.

Looking ahead, the Devils are set to face Wellsville on Wednesday to finish the season series.

With a focus on team unity and a strategy centered around the team’s strengths, he expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming season despite the changes in the roster.
