WEST BRANCH MAKES QUICK WORK OF QUAKERS

BELOIT OH- The age-old rivalry between The Salem Quakers and The West Branch Warriors has found a home inside of The Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) in recent years. One thing is for certain, no matter the sport, the record or the year, when it is Salem vs. West Branch, heads turn.

This edition of the rivalry occurred on the hardwood on Tuesday night, where The Quakers made the trip to The Village of Beloit. West Branch wasted little time in jumping on Salem in Set 1. With the combined efforts of Mikalyn Fitts, Adele Peters and Big Dog Brunner (Claire Brunner) The Warriors set the tone with big runs and not allowing The Quakers offense to get any sort of traction. Winning Set 1 in dominating fashion, by a total of 16 points, allowing West Branch to take an early set lead in the match. 

More fight was to be had from Salem in Set 2, staying scrappy and hanging in there with a tough Warriors squad. However, some unfortunate times errors pumped the brakes on The Quakes, allowing West Branch to seal the Set 2 victory and take a commanding lead in the match. By Set 3 The Warriors were just riding a wave of momentum, drawing back to the first set by going on more big scoring runs and capitalizing on Salem’s mistakes. Taking the match victory in straight sets, West Branch earned their fourth victory in The EBC Tuesday night. 

Riding off the win, West Branch (9-2) will now hit the road to do an inter-conference battle with The Minerva Lions (2-9) on Wednesday, September 14th. As for The Quakers (2-6) they will head to the hangar in a conference matchup with The Alliance Aviators (3-7) on Thursday, September 15th.

QUAKERS FALL SHORT AGAINST CRUSADERS

SALEM OH- n a matchup of two talented teams, and two special quarterbacks, it was the Canton Central Catholic Crusaders and Jack Talkington who were able to get the better is Jackson Johnson and the Salem Quakers on Friday night by a score of 35-31.

In a game that went back and forth all night long, it was CCC who got the last lead change and we’re able to seal the deal on a late interception and run just enough clock off to make it nearly impossible for a Quaker comeback.
For the Crusaders, it was a heavy dose of Talkington all night long, rushing for 214 yards and a score, and throwing for another score late that pushed CCC ahead. His counterpart did not disappoint either, throwing for 276 yards and three scores (Oesch- 2, D. Monroy) and rushing for another. He also carried the ball for over 110 yards on the night.
Donnie Oesch led the Quakers with six catches for 133 yards and 2 scores, while sophomore Marcus Phillips had 4-56, Dillon Monroy had 2-41, and Caden Swiger hauled in five passes for 32 yards.
With the loss, the Quakers fall to 3-1, and will finish their non-conference slate next week on the road, they take on the Padua Franciscan Bruins.

SALEM QUAKES THE POTTERS

SALEM OH- The Salem offense scored early and often, all in the 1st half Friday night, which led to a 38-6 victory in dominating fashion over Columbiana County rival East Liverpool. After scoring 40 points against Beaver Local, the Quakers picked up where they left off in week 2 and put up 38 unanswered 1st half points, en route to picking up their 3rd consecutive win to start the 2022 campaign.

Leading the way for the Quakers was Quarterback Jackson Johnson, who threw for 159 yards and four touchdown passes (Swiger, D. Monroy, Oesch-2), and ran for another. He spread the ball around to a number of different receivers on the night and they did a great job making contested catches, as well as picking up big yards after the catch.
Defensively, the Quakers ones suffocated the Potter offense, to the tune of 20 total 1st half yards and only one first down, which came with under four minutes to go until halftime.
With the 30 point separation between the two teams in the 2nd half, the 2nd string Quakers were able to see some snaps the entirety of the 3rd and 4th quarters.
Salem (3-0) will host Canton Central Catholic next week, while East Liverpool (1-2) will welcome rival Beaver Local.

SALEM FOOTBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 2) WITH RON JOHNSON

SALEM OH-  I caught up with Salem Head football coach Ron Johnson before his week 3 matchup with East Liverpool. Coach Johnson touched on how happy he was with the week one grinder with Crestview, and the offensive improvements that led to the explosion in week 2 against Beaver Local. He talked about the newer guys improving and getting reps as they prepared for week 3 and beyond, and how important it is for all the guys to gain experience.

SALEM WINS ON THE ROAD

EAST LIVERPOOL OH- The Beavers and Quakers went at it on Friday night in a high scoring affair that saw the Quakers take home victory by a score of 40-27

 

The Quakers got the scoring started on a TD pass from QB Jackson Johnson to Ross Davidson. Salem kept their foot on the gas on both sides of the ball, forcing multiple punts and turnovers in the first half and moving the ball at will, as Jackson Johnson led the offense to two more scores before half by way of a Dominic Maniscalco TD run and a Jackson Johnson TD run. Going down 21-0 at half, the Beavers came out with a spark in the second half, with a solid kick return by Blake Lucas to set up a 37 yard TD pass from Austin Cline to Dylan Ferguson.

 

Salem decided to get right back at the Beavers with a long TD pass from Jackson Johnson to Donnie Oesch. A couple drives later the Beavers connected on a 14 yard TD pass, as Cline found Caleb White to cut the deficit back to 2 scores, but once again Salem answered. Dillon Monroy caught a TD pass from Johnson to stretch the lead back out to 3 scores, but the Beavers were never going down without a fight. On a roll out, Cline fired down the field for White as the two connected for the second time on the day, this time from 44 yards out. It was a 2 score game heading into the 4th, and Johnson showed the savviness of a 4 year starter, putting together a long, time consuming TD drive that he capped off with another TD run, his 5th total TD of the day, that out the lead wide enough to win the game. Beaver Local wasn’t ready to give up though, as they put together a quick score via a Cline QB sneak TD, but Salem got the ball on the kickoff and didn’t give it back before the clock reached zeros, as the Quaker offense showed up and showed out in the win.

 

The Quakers go back home for a matchup with East Liverpool, while the Beavers get a chance to get in the win column on their home field against Minerva.
