/in /by

Week nine saw Coach Josh Ludwig and the East Liverpool Potters travel into West Virginia to take on the Red Riders of Weir. Unfortunately, the Potters fell just a little short.

YSN’s own Tommy Pease caught up with Coach Ludwig to discuss what he took away from last week’s hard-fought game against Weir but also what he thought about how the 2019 football season went for the Potters.

CARTER PROVIDES BLUEPRINT FOR LIVERPOOL, POTTERS TOAST BUCKEYE LOCAL

/in /by

RAYLAND, OH- You could say that Senior Runningback Derek Carter had “A Night,” but then you’d just be scratching the surface.  Carter and his Potter teammates got the Blue Train chugging back on the tracks against Buckeye Local to the tune of 49-8.

Carter must be a fan of mp3’s because he broke several records on Friday when he ran for 217 yards on 17 carries which crowned him as the school’s All-Time Leading Rusher with 2,251 (and counting.)  That wasn’t all though, on those carries, Carter scored 6 times to break the East Liverpool record for scores in a game.  Collectively, the Potters ran for 290 yards on the evening with Devin Toothman running for 44 yards in his own right.

Nick Woodyard would go 4-6 through the air for the Potters but would put together a highlight reel touchdown at the end of the first half.

With the victory, East Liverpool evens its record at 4-4 (3-1 in Buckeye 8) and turns its attention to Weir in Week 9.

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- It was Senior night at Patterson Field for the Potters final home game of the 2019 campaign and they left it all on the field with a 54-7 victory over Buckeye 8 rival the Edison Wildcats.

The Potter defense was solid as it’s been all year as the Edison Wildcats only score came on a 75-yard kickoff return late in the first quarter. After that East Liverpool didn’t look back as the offense exploded for 521 yards of total offense led by senior running back Derek “CUTBACK” Carter toted the rock 17 times for a total of 263 yards and 2 scores. The Potters now (3-4) will look to continue their Buckeye 8 dominance as they travel down river next week to take on the Buckeye Local Panthers.

The drive was capped by a 6-yard touchdown pass from Ethan Lewis to Daniel With on a third & goal. A good extra point by Chase Flati gave the Beavers a 7-6 lead with 31 seconds left in the first half. A squib kick on the ensuing kickoff gave the Potters the football on their own 45 but Potters QB Nate Davis was intercepted by Beavers linebacker Nate Sprouse, preserving the Beavers 7-6 halftime lead.
The second half belonged to the East Liverpool Potters. East Liverpool started their first series of the second half in the Beaver Local 40 thanks to a 12-yard punt. On a fourth & ten from the Beavers 25, Davis would hook up with wide receiver Timmy Neal to give the Potters a 12-7 lead.

QUAKERS SHAKE EAST LIVERPOOL, STAY PERFECT

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The East Liverpool Potter football team dropped a hard fought 20-14 decision to their Columbiana County rival Salem Quackers.

Salem senior quarterback Niko Walter slashed the Potter defense for a combined 346 yards, as the Potter defense did not have an answer for Walter.  Senior wide receiver Jax Booth hauled in 5 receptions for 116 yards and 2 scores.
Potters senior Nick Woodyard led the Potter offensive attack with 10 receptions for 118 yards. Senior running back Derek Carter rushed 17 times for 60 yards and a touchdown.
After a sluggish first half offensively and training 8-0, the Potter offense came to life in the third quarter, scoring 14 points, with touchdowns from seniors Carter and Timmy. Neal.  However, that was not enough as Niko Walter answered  Neal’s touchdown with a dominant drive to take the lead once and for all.
The fourth quarter was scoreless, as Walter engineered a drive that ran nearly 9 minutes of 4th quarter clock.  The Potters finally stopped the Quakers at the Potter 2 yard line, but could not muster a final 2-minute drive. The Potters made a valiant effort and were able to move the ball to the Salem 41 yard line before Walter intercepted Potter quarterback Nate Davis to ice the game for the Quakers.
