The Quakers jumped out to a 14-0 lead 7 minutes into the game, but were unable to find the end zone again until the 4th quarter. Alliance took advantage of three Salem turnovers (2 INT, 1 fumble), two of which ended drives in the red zone. Salem was 2-6 for the night inside the 20 yard line.

On a more positive note, albeit in defeat, Sophomore Dominic Maniscalco had a career night, rushing for over 100 yards and a score for Salem.

CANFIELD MAKES THE TRIP WORTH IT

/in /by

The Cardinals defense forced a quick 3 and out on the first Quaker possession of the game, but the Quakers defense answered with a goal line stop to turn the Cardinals over on downs. New Philadelphia had another 3 and out, and the Cardinals took advantage with a 34 yard touchdown reception for Paolo Papalia to make it 7-0. Two possessions later, Oliver Kovass caught a 19 yard touchdown pass on 4th down and long. Toby Smith got in on the touchdown mix as he caught a 20 yard touchdown pass before the half. Canfield entered the locker room at half, up 21-0.

The Cardinals got the football to start the second half, and started right where they left off. The Cardinals stomped 80 yards down the field and capped it off with a Mike Crawford touchdown run. On the following possession for the Quakers, Ryan Schneider had a pick six to make it 35-0.

The Canfield defense would complete the shutout, while forcing 4 turnovers and not allowing New Philadelphia to cross midfield.

Canfield would beat the Quakers 35-0, improving to 3-1 on the season. The Quakers are now 2-2, and will travel to Canton Central Catholic next week. As for Canfield, they return home to take on the Chaney Cowboys. We will have the call on YSN.

SALEM LOOKING UNSTOPPABLE

/in /by

SALEM OH- The Salem offensive machine kept rolling on Friday night ripping off 21 points in the first quarter en route to a 41-0 drubbing of Akron Firestone. Coming in averaging 47 points/game, the Quaker offense did not disappoint, leading 35-0 at the halfway point, and salting away the victory in the second half with the running clock.

As is always the case when talking about the high octane Quaker attack, junior quarterback Jackson Johnson and senior receiver Blaize Exline were on full display. Jackson accounted for five touchdowns on the night: four through the air and another on the ground. Blaize, his #1 target, continued his record-setting career with four of his own, catching 3 of those touchdowns and rushing for another score. Junior Donnie Oesch would account for the other score (a 28-yd catch and run from Johnson).

The Salem defense stood tall all night surrendering less han 100 yards of total offense to the Falcons. Sophomore Ross Davidson led the way, flying all over the field and accounting for 2 interceptions (3 total for the season).

Salem finishes their non-conference schedule at 4-0, beginning EBC play next Friday night against Alliance at Mount Union Stadium. Kick off is set for 7 p.m.
