EAST LIVERPOOL COACH’S CORNER WITH JOSH LUDWIG (EP 1)

Actions speak louder than words ever will.  When Coach Ludwig said that he wanted to send a message to the world in Week 1 against Shadyside, it wasn’t clear what type of message it would be.

Fast forward a week later: Message Received.

The Potters are BACK!

Under the tutelage of Potters from the past, this team is getting back to its winning ways in a hurry.  With rival Indian Creek on the docket this week, The Big Blue Wrecking Crew know one thing, and one thing only: They’re in for a fight.

Our Tommy Pease sits down with Coach Lud in our first episode of East Liverpool Coach’s Corner!

 

GO GO GARCIA!

When you score three touchdowns in the opening week of your season, it’s hard not to get excited for what’s to come in Week 2!  For Beaver Local’s Donovan Garcia-it’s business as usual.  Garcia comes in as arguably the most underrated back in the area, but that’s a role he’s willing to take on with a smile.

Donovan Garcia is out to prove to the world that he’s a top-tier ball carrier, and prove it he will.

What does a game like that do for confidence, is there more adrenaline playing in front of a home crowd?

THE ALLEGRETO CRESCENDO

When you talk about elite athletes in the area, the name Isaac Allegreto is among the top of the names on that list.  As a South Range Sophomore, Allegreto was a hard-hitting defender who served as a jack of all trades when his name was called.  He served as a special teams stud for Coach Yeagley in 2017, and was the backup for the area’s most premier quarterbacks.

But, this year?

2018 is Isaac Allegreto’s stage, and he’s planning the grand crescendo this Fall at Raiders Stadium.

We caught up with QB1 for Coach Yeagley’s squad to talk about his mindset heading into Week 2 and their Home Opener against Cleveland JFK in this week’s South Range Player Profile:  THE ALLEGRETTO CRESCENDO

WU IS PERFECT AGAINST YOUNGSTOWN, LIFTS CHINA TO VICTORY

WASHINGTON, PA- Sin-Jie Wu earned the win for Chinese Taipei. He went five innings, allowing zero runs on zero hits, striking out nine and walking zero.  Colten Shaffer took the loss for Youngstown.  He surrendered four runs on two hits over five innings, striking out one and walking zero on 69 pitches (40 strikes.)  The game was only five innings due to poor weather from Monday’s schedule.  All 6 games today will be under the 5-inning schedule.

Chinese Taipei was sure-handed in the field and didn’t commit a single error. Chiu-Teng Chen had the most chances in the field with ten.

For Chinese Taipei, they were able to capitalize on errors by Youngstown as only 1 of their 4 runs were earned.  The victors will now wait to see who emerges from the Youngstown/Dominican Republic game this afternoon.  That game slated for 1pm.

POTTERS’ PATIENCE PAYING OFF

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH-  The numbers 3, and 7 consecutively are not charming in the eyes of Potter Nation.  For three straight seasons, the East Liverpool Football Program finished with a disappointing 3-7 status.  This year, Coach Ludwig and his staff feel the change from the foundation up.  You can see it on the field in their new uniforms.  You can hear it in the way they talk about this year.  You can point out how they refer to their historic program

“120 times prior to today, this picture has been taken.  We feel privileged to be 121” Ludwig said at media day while his team was frozen for a team photo.  This is the 121st year of East Liverpool Football, and while the recent history hasn’t been kind to the Potters, history tells us East Liverpool is never down for long.  “We’re going to show what we can do up front, and show everybody that we’re not just here to play around.  We actually want to do some good things this year,” says Senior Lineman, Joaquin Johnson

The Potters return all starters on offense and will have to improve on 2017’s numbers where they averaged just over 50 yards per game through the air.  If their ground-game stays consistent, it will allow the White and Blue Wrecking Crew to control the pace of the game, and take pressure off the defense who gave up 26.5 points per game in 2017.

Overall, the future is now for the Potters and now looks great from all standpoints.  Ready to get back to their winning ways, East Liverpool is set to kickoff against Shadyside at home on August 24th at 7:30.  Tommy and Rob will have the call on YSN-East Liverpool all year!

From all of us at Your Sports Network- Good Luck Potters!
