QUAKERS NAIL DOWN NILES

/in /by


NILES OH- Both teams suffered from losing seasons last year and were looking to bounce back in 2022, but only one would come out on top on Tuesday.  After a close first half which saw the Quakers only leading the Red Dragons by four, the tables would turn in the second half as Salem went on a three point streak winning by the final of 78-64. 

 

For coach Andres’ team, the leader was Caden Swiger who showed swagger on the court, dropping 23 points.  The next to lead the pack was Camden Sampson with 17, Trent Fink with 12, Lance Bailey scoring nine points, eight for Ross Davidson and six for sophomore Evan Jones.  Swiger and Sampson were dangerous behind the arc with Sampson hitting two in the fourth.  For Niles, Sam Perrone got the first points on the board during their opening 7-0 run, but soon collapsed in the second half.  Perrone finished with 16 points.  Stefon Dorsey finished with 12 points after being banged up in the later part of the game, Robert Strickland scored 12 points and Anthony Budak, the Olmstead Transfer and Niles quarterback studied up his basketball game and scored 13 off the bench.  

 

Salem will travel to their neighbors in Alliance on Friday, while Niles will host Champion on Friday at the Memorial Gymnasium.  After the game, Ian O’Brien caught up with coach Jeff Andres to talk about the big performance and what to expect against Alliance.

SALEM OH- The time has come once again to get excited about high school basketball.  Salem is coming off of one of their best seasons in program history so there are plenty of reasons to get excited for Quaker fans.

Although they graduated 5 seniors, the Quakers have a lot of pieces to work with that should keep them one of the best girls programs in the area.

Head coach Sarah Hamilton is back for another year at the helm of the Quakers. She was kind enough to take her time and talk to YSN’s Ty Bartell to help preview the season.  She talks about the ride last year was, how this team will separate themselves from last season’s, and so much more.

QUAKERS CANT OVERCOME OLD EBC RIVAL

/in /by

The 2022 Salem Quaker football team met an untimely end on Friday night at the hands of former EBC foe Canton South 28-21. The Quakers found themselves down 21-0 at halftime and were unable to completely claw back into it.

An uncharacteristically slow start for Salem in the 1st half told the story. Of their 1st half drives, two ended in interceptions by South, giving them new life to which they would capitalize to the tune of 14 points. That would prove to be a deficit too insurmountable for Salem to overcome on this night. Salem would mount a comeback in the second half, recovering an onside kick to start the 3rd quarter, and twice getting within one score, just couldn’t get any closer.
 Junior quarterback Poochie Snyder would lead the way for the Wildcats as he’s done all season. He would finish the night 16-23 for 203 yards and three scores (Pugh), one of which was an acrobatic scramble that saw him elude numerous Quaker defenders and complete a 7 yard strike. That score made it 28-14 in the 4th, all but sealing the fate of the Quakers. He would also be helped by Freshman tailback Xion Culver, who would chip in 124 yards of his own on the ground, to go with 145 from Snyder.
For Salem, the loss marks the end of a record setting career for quarterback Jackson Johnson, who holds every passing and nearly every rushing record in Salem HS history. For the night he would finish 14-24 for 234 yards passing and add another 49 yards and three scores on the ground.
Salem finishes their season at 6-5, while Canton South moves on the play the 2-seeded Beaver Local Beavers next week.
