BEAVER LOCAL CONTINUES TO CRUISE

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL OH-?The Beavers continued their path of destruction on Friday night, as they defeated the Indian Creek Redskins 56-13.

 

The Beavers forced a turnover on downs on the first drive of the game, and followed it up with a 2 play TD drive as Austin Cline found Caden Foster from 12 yards out. On their next possession, it took them 5 plays to reach the end zone thanks to a 35 yard house call by Kaydon Bobby on a screen pass. Indian Creek didn’t just go away though, as Isaac Robinson housed the ensuing kickoff from 75 yards, and then both defenses took control the rest of the first quarter. In the second, the Beavers found their stride. Following a muffed punt Austin Cline threw a fadeaway pass to the endzone where Noah Bowyer made a tough catch while also drawing a pass interference call to make it 21-6. The penalty was enforced on the kickoff, and the Beavers went with a surprise inside kick which they recovered.

 

Austin Cline then ran it in from 20 yards out for his 4th total TD on the day, putting Beaver Local up 28-6. Their defense continued to create stops, and a Gabe Morgan 1 yard TD run followed by a 4 yard TD pass from Cline to Bobby again made it 42-6 at the half. The Beavers put the cherry on top with a Blake Lucas kickoff return TD to start the second half and a Wade Foster TD run in cleanup duty late in the fourth. Indian Creek scored one more time in the third, but it wasn’t enough as the final was 56-13.

 

The win secured a second straight Buckeye 8 conference title, and the Beavers will look to extend their 6 game winning streak next week against John Hay.

POTTERS CANT FIND GOOD FORTUBE IN WINTERSVILLE

/in /by

WINTERSVILLE OH- Both East Liverpool and Indian Creek came into Week 2 wanting a win. Liverpool wanted to build off momentum from Week 1, while the Redskins wanted to find momentum after dropping their first game, it was Creek that would find all the fortunate breaks as they beat the Potters 26-14.

After Indian Creek scored first, East Liverpool put together a drive trying to to tie the game. A Michael Hardy 5 yard touchdown run put them within one, but the conversion failed and they still trailed 7-6.  The Redskins weren’t phased by the Potters score though as a couple more big plays gave them a 20-6 lead by halftime.

Indian Creek would swing the door open for a Potters comeback as they fumbled on a fake punt. The turnover set up a touchdown run by Gavin Wright.  It put the Potters within a score 20-14.  Indian Creek would once again answer as another score would seal the deal 26-14.

East Liverpool will need to bounce back in Week 3 as they have a big road test in Salem.

MCELROY SHINES AS URSULINE PUNCHES TICKET TO CANTON

/in /by


EUCLID- OH; The road to state means a lot for coaches and players.  For Dan Reardon, he made fourth state appearances and won three with living legends like Akise Teague, and Paul Kempe.  The senior class led by Brady Shannon, started off their freshman season with a one and nine record and have since turned the tables.  Now, three seasons later for this senior class, 11 years later, and six years since their last trip to the state semis, the Irish have a chance to get back where the school was once.  In order to get to state however, the Irish would have to get past the Port Clinton Redskins with coach Beau Carmon and quarterback Cam Gillum who has thrown for 34 touchdowns and 2,360 yards on the season. 

 

First quarter for the Irish opened with two touchdowns, both from DeMarcus McElroy.  The first was a 33- yard touchdown up the middle and a two point conversion pass to Ty’Req Donlow made it 8 to 0 Irish.  The second game from eight yards out after a Brady Shannon 49-yard jump ball pass to Dean Boyd.  With McElroy’s second touchdown and a Raegan Smith extra point, it was now 15 to 0.  

 

Port Clinton did not go away however with two touchdowns to their favor.  One was a tip off of Donlow in the hands of Josh Hurst for a touchdown and then Gillum took it in himself from six-yards out making it 14-15 after a PAT.  The Redskins took the lead late in the third after a 20-yard field goal on the left hash by Andrew Hanson making it now 17-15 and having the pressure against the Irish once again at Euclid.  

 

However just like with their game winner against Glenville at Euclid, the same happened two weeks in a row and the Irish did not hesitate with three more DeMarcus McElroy touchdowns from 42, two and 74-yards to put the game out of reach by the final of 34 to 17, and give Ursuline their fifth state championship appearance in the 2000s era and their first since 2010 where they beat the Coldwater Cavaliers in the Division V State Championship.  

 

Stats 

Brady Shannon: 10 of 16 for 207 yards 

 

DeMarcus McElroy: 257 yards, five touchdowns. 

 

Dean Boyd: three receptions for 92 yards 

 

Will Burney- three receptions for 34 yards 

 

Jakylan Irving: two receptions for 18 yards. 

 

Garrett Cornell: 69 yards rushing 

 

Cam Gillum: 57 yards passing, 66-yards on the ground with a rushing touchdown. 

Up Next: 

Ursuline (11-3) will head to their fifth state title appearance in the 2000s, and have a chance to win their fifth championship and Coach Dan Reardon’s fourth as they face off against the Clinton Massie Falcons (13-1) who are coming off of a big 24 to 21 win against Bloom Carroll who finished their season with a 14 and one record. Kickoff is Friday 10:30am at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.  

 

The Redskins of Port Clinton meanwhile, end their 2021 campaign with a record of 13 and two.  Now coach Beau Carmon and the Redskins will look towards the 2022 campaign and a trip back.

JFK PUTS ON A SHOW

/in /by

WARREN OH- In their last home game of the season, Warren JFK gave their hometown crowd a show to remember. Their offense exploded in a 62-28 rout of Cuyahoga Heights.

Caleb Hadley got the scoring started for the Eagles with a designed quarterback run. Then Antwan Brown entered the party. His first touchdown of the game gave the Eagles a 13-0 lead after a quarter of play. Things would only get worse for Cuyahoga Heights as the Eagles offense put their foot on the gas. Michael Mauro’s impressive 30 yard touchdown run left little doubt of the outcome. Mauro would later run another one in from over 50 yards out. Brown would score five touchdowns on the night. JFK’s offense has scored 119 points in their first 2 playoff games.

JFK advances to the Division 7 Region 25 semifinals against Norwalk St Paul. That game is slated for Saturday at a site TBD. Stay tuned to YSN for all updates concerning the OHSAA football playoffs.

BEAVERS WIN FIRST BUCKEYE 8 TITLE

/in /by

Beaver Local made school history on Friday night, defeating the Indian Creek Redskins by a final score of 41-7, capturing their first Buckeye 8 Championship in school history.

The Skins got the ball to start things off, and they took it right down the field on Beaver Local, going 65 yards for the score. The Beavers responded though, turning to junior Caleb White for a 50 yard TD bomb to tie things up. The Beaver defense put the clamps on to get their offense the ball back, where Austin Cline ran in his second total TD of the game from 11 yards out. On the next Beaver offensive possession, they turned to the reliable Logan Blissenbach for a 40 yard TD pass, making it 21-7 through a quarter and a half.

The Beaver offense found the end zone one more time, courtesy of Austin Cline on the ground again, and went into the half up 27-7 with the Buckeye 8 title in their sights. They got the ball out of the halftime period, and didn’t slow anything down. Cline found Caden Foster for a 63 yard bomb to make it 34-7, putting the game out of reach for the Skins. They turned to Micah Jones to run it in from 4 yards out to put the finishing touches on the victory, capping off a 41-7 win on a night that the Beavers will not soon forget.

The Beavers still have some work to do to earn a playoff berth, as they look to add to the 6 game win streak next week, hosting Martins Ferry on Senior night at Pastore Field.
