LATE TROJAN RUN ENDS BLUE DEVILS SEASON

SEBRING, OH – The Lisbon Blue Devils boys basketball team came into Friday night’s game at Sebring McKinley in familiar territory. Just a year ago, the Blue Devils embarked on the same journey to Sebring to try to win a sectional championship and move onto the Struthers Fieldhouse for a district semifinal match up, that team ended up losing to Sebring. This year, the Blue Devils knew it was a chance at redemption and a chance to once again win a sectional title and move on to the district semis.

From the opening tip, the two squads seemed to be even, with both teams trading buckets and neither breaking free from the other. The Blue Devils took a 14-13 lead into the second quarter, behind Michael Davis’ shooting. The halftime score saw Lisbon maintain their lead by just one point, 26-25. The third quarter was much of the same as the two teams duked it out looking for any edge they could get, as the score remained a one point game going to the fourth, 35-34. The final quarter however, saw the Blue Devils begin to run out of gas as the Trojans kept executing and kept the tempo in their favor, as they would go on a 19-9 run, ending the Lisbon Blue Devils season once again, by a score of 53-44.

The Sebring Trojans were led by Dylan Johnson with 12 points, Jake Hunter with 11 points, and Gabe Lanzer with 10 points.

The Lisbon Blue Devils were led by Michael Davis with 20 points and Blayne Brownfield with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Ryan McCullough added in 4 points and 7 assists.

From the opening tip to the final buzzer, the Lisbon Blue Devils controlled the tempo and handled everything Jackson Milton threw their way. The Blue Devils couldn’t break off a big lead until late in the third quarter. Once Lisbon went up by 10, the Bluejays were never able to regain any momentum or chip away at the Lisbon lead.

The meeting of these two teams will be the first in well over a decade. Both squads entered the game looking to build some momentum before the state playoffs begin next Tuesday.

Brookfield came out of the opening tip on fire as they connected on two threes but also pounded the ball inside as they took a 17-12 lead into the second quarter. The Blue Devils however matched the Warriors on the offensive end in the second but still trailed, 30-25, at the half. Once the second half got underway, the Warriors continued their offensive attack as they proceeded to outscore Lisbon 20-13 in the quarter.

PEANUT LEADS THE WAY

When you think of what you want in a basketball player, consistency and a leader usually come to mind. Junior, Ryan “Peanut” McCullough, is one of those players for the Lisbon Blue Devils, as he has not missed a single game in his three years as a player. Not only is Ryan a consistent player, but he is also the fuel that makes the Lisbon boys basketball team run. The confidence he has built up over the past two seasons is what makes him a true leader this year for the Blue Devils as he was named one of the team captains for the first time in his high school career. When asked what makes Peanut the player he is, his response is simply “the team around me.” Peanut is always the first person to give credit to his surrounding cast and build his teammates up before he takes the credit for himself. His playing style is identical to that as well, as he is one to get everyone involved on and off the floor as a leader and great teammate.

D.J. Yokley took some time to catch up with the junior guard this morning as they talked about his goals, what his personal multi-sport success can do on the basketball court as well as the football field, his plans for after high school, and much much more. Learn all about the man they call “Peanut” in this player profile with Lisbon Blue Devils star, Ryan McCullough!
