LISBON, OH- In a battle of teams looking to right the ship in the 2019 campaign, Lisbon knew they had to do more than average to beat a gritty East Palestine team.  They needed a budding star to emerge and take the reigns on the future, and they got that in RJ Schreffler on Friday when they rushed past the Bulldogs 26-7.

Schreffler ran for a trio of touchdowns on the night during his 21 rush, 108-yard performance.  Tyler Welsh also had a big night with a pair of scores, both on the ground.  Joey Fisher was the leading receiver with a catch for 25 yards.

For East Palestine, Dominick Cathers racked up 142 yards on 29 rushes while scoring the second touchdown of the season for the Brown and White.  Tyler Bistarkey was 2/3 from behind center and also had a reception on the night.

ANSWERING THE BELL

/in /by

It’s been a journey in 2019 for Logan Bell, but one that he’s learned from and grown from to become an Ace for seemingly any team he joins.  Lisbon’s standout pitcher rewrote the record books at his now alma mater, and while that was enough to drive him- the chip on his 6’3 200-pound frame comes from the adversity he’s faced.

Bell will tell you that he’s not the naturally gifted type of athlete, he’s worked (and outworked) his opponents to earn everything he’s been afforded to this point.  The early morning workouts, the late-night study sessions to become a Division 1 recruit and eventually landing at the University of Akron to help rebuild their baseball program.

A fourth-generation Lisbon Blue Devil athlete, Bell showed Astro Falcon Manager Don Pletcher all he needed to see both on the mound and in the dugout.  Bell is one of the rare pitchers that show up in support of his teammates on the days he isn’t pitching.  His demeanor, leadership, and commitment to his team has not only solidified the spot on this ultra-talented roster but has earned him the reputation of being one of the best teammates some have ever had.

“Logan’s a sponge, he’s always asking questions and picking the brains of coaches and players between starts,” said Astro Manager Don Pletcher.  “Logan wants the ball, and he’s a gamer but what impresses me is how he’s constantly showing up and asking how he can support the team in any capacity, a manager’s dream,” added Pletcher.

Bell finished the summer session a perfect 9-0 for the Astro Falcons and was able to live out his dream of opening up the Palomino World Series and facing international competition while blanking Mexico.
