BERLIN CENTER, OH- In the latest episode of YSN’s “Coaches Corner with Coach John Armeni,” the focus was on Western Reserve’s victorious Week Twelve playoff game and the upcoming rematch against Lowellville. Coach Armeni shared his insights and thoughts on the team’s performance, individual records broken, and the importance of the offensive line.

Week Twelve of the playoffs has been a whirlwind for Coach Armeni and his team. It’s hard to believe that the regular season has already reached its end, with playoff football now captivating the community. The atmosphere during their last game against Lisbon was electrifying, with the players showing immense excitement and determination. Practice sessions even took place in the snow, adding an extra challenge to their preparations.

Regarding the victory over Lisbon, Coach Armeni credited their offense for having little trouble during the game. Their offensive line dominated, allowing them to open up running lanes and get their skill players involved. Defensively, there were some struggles early on, but adjustments were made, leading to an improved performance. One crucial moment in the game was calling a timeout and being able to score right before halftime, which boosted their momentum and ultimately propelled them to victory.

Nathan Hemberger, an exceptional talent and the league leader in tackles, played a significant role in the game against Lisbon. Not only did he score six rushing touchdowns, but he also blocked a punt and scored a touchdown off the block. Hemberger’s outstanding contributions broke multiple records, including the most touchdowns scored in a game, most touchdowns in a season, and the school record for Western Reserve. Additionally, Air Henning, with both a thousand yards passing and rushing, showcased his importance to the team’s success.

Coach Armeni emphasized that the personal accomplishments and records are a testament to the team’s overall success. Of course, he acknowledged that none of it would be possible without the support and efforts of the offensive line. The linemen have been dominant recently, and their contributions should not go unnoticed.

Looking back at the regular season, Coach Armeni noted that their biggest win was against Louisville, a fiercely competitive opponent. He praised Lowellville’s coaching staff and their talented roster, including strong linemen and skilled athletes. Western Reserve’s game plan was to control the tempo, which they executed successfully, resulting in a hard-fought victory. As they head into the rematch, the team aims to replicate their previous strategy and turn the game into a battle rather than a track meet.

Coach Armeni mentioned that his players have responded well to the playoffs and are focused on playing their best football. While personal accomplishments and records are great, the primary goal remains winning games and advancing further in the playoffs.

As Western Reserve gears up for their rematch against Louisville, the entire community is filled with anticipation and excitement. The team’s dedication, the spectacular performances, and the resilience of their offensive line have all contributed to their success. With the playoffs in full swing, Coach Armeni and his players are determined to continue their winning streak and make their mark in the postseason.

LISBON, OH – It was a crisp autumn evening in Lisbon, Ohio, as the Lisbon Blue Devils prepared to face off against their rivals, the Wellsville Tigers. Not only was it the last game of the regular season; Lisbon also honored all 17 student-athletes who are seniors in the fall sports season.

The game kicked off with a bang. Lisbon’s quarterback, Trevor Siefke, wasted no time making his presence felt. Just moments into the first quarter, he connected with his wide receiver, Logan Stauffer, on a stunning 66-yard touchdown pass. The crowd erupted as Ben Webber successfully added the extra point, giving Lisbon an early 7-0 lead with 9 minutes and 58 seconds remaining in the quarter.

Lisbon’s offense continued to sizzle. With 7 minutes and 21 seconds left in the first quarter, Siefke once again found Stauffer, this time for a 40-yard touchdown pass. The reliable Ben Webber added the extra point, extending Lisbon’s lead to 14-0.

But Trevor Siefke wasn’t done showcasing his skills. With just over a minute remaining in the first quarter, he connected with Austin Dailey on a 24-yard touchdown pass. Although the two-point conversion was unsuccessful, Lisbon maintained a commanding 20-0 lead.

The second quarter saw no respite for the Tigers. Siefke, in a league of his own that night, launched a beautiful 32-yard touchdown pass to Luke Kraft. Ben Webber was once again right on target with the extra point, and Lisbon stretched their lead to an astonishing 27-0 with 7 minutes remaining in the first half.

Hunter Dailey joined the scoring spree, bulldozing his way through Wellsville’s defense with a 1-yard touchdown run. Ben Webber’s foot remained golden as he successfully converted the extra point, making the score an overwhelming 34-0 with just 3 minutes and 37 seconds left in the second quarter.

The Wellsville Tigers, though facing a significant deficit, showed their resilience as Clayton Kersey unleashed a remarkable 53-yard touchdown pass to Landon Ramsey. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful, leaving the score at 34-6 with 1 minute and 27 seconds to go in the first half.

The Lisbon Blue Devils weren’t ready to take their foot off the gas. In the waning moments of the second quarter, Trevor Siefke found Luke Kraft again, this time for a 14-yard touchdown pass. Ben Webber added another point after touchdown, and Lisbon entered halftime with a commanding 41-7 lead.

Wellsville came out of the locker room with renewed determination in the third quarter. Richie Dowling bulldozed his way through Lisbon’s defense for a 2-yard touchdown run. The Tigers successfully converted the two-point conversion, narrowing the gap to 41-14 with 4 minutes and 7 seconds left in the third quarter.

However, it was too little, too late for Wellsville, as the Lisbon Blue Devils held onto their commanding lead until the final whistle. The game showcased the remarkable skill and teamwork of the Lisbon Blue Devils, led by their star quarterback Trevor Siefke and an unwavering Ben Webber on the PATs, securing a convincing 41-14 victory over the Wellsville Tigers.
