Sophomore Drew Dillen knocked one in early in the first half to take a 1-0 lead. The assist went to Angelo Paquelet. That was all the scoring for the first half, but in the second the Leopards would add to their lead with a goal from freshman Dominic Porter-Kovecich. Joe Reynolds earned his sixth shutout of the season securing one save in front of the net.

Louisville will hit the road again as they advance to travel to sixth seeded Mentor Lake Catholic on Saturday. That game is slated to kick off at 4:00.

SALEM OVERCOMES SLOW START IN MARLINGTON

/in /by

MARLINGTON OH- After a slow start by the high powered Quaker offense, they were able to find traction on the ground to the tune of 260 yards and knock of Marlington 35-17. After recent weeks where the aerial assault was in full force, it was the run game that dominated the night for the Quaker offense.

Jackson Johnson led the way with over 100 yards on the ground of his own, but was not alone, as Blaize Exline and Jason Austin carried the load for 80 and 89 yards respectively.

Salem was also aided by their defense, who surrendered only 3 points through the first 3 quarters, before Marlington was able to put two late touchdowns on the board. The Quakers also forced three turnovers on the evening, all interceptions, by Cam Jaquette, Donnie Oesch, and Damon Wolfe.

Wolfe’s interception couldn’t have come at a better time for the Quakers, who saw the Dukes driving and looking to cut into the Quaker lead. Deep in Quaker territory, Marlington tried to run a pitch to the left, which ended up in the hands of Wolfe, who would rumble 93 yards for the score, and put the game on ice.

Salem (6-1) now heads into the meat of the schedule with games next week at Carrollton, Canton South, before finishing off the regular season at home against West Branch. Combined, those teams are 17-4.

/in /by

SALEM OH- The Salem Quakers bounced back from their first loss of the season in a big way Friday night with a 66-0 victory over Minerva on Homecoming at Sebo Stadium Friday Night.

After a 27-21 OT loss at Alliance in week 5, which saw the Quakers turn the ball over 3 times, and struggle to finish drives, Salem scored early and often to the tune of 42 first quarter points.

Offensively the Quakers were led by Jackson Johnson, who threw for a school record 7 touchdowns on the night: 3 to Senior Blaize Exline, 3 to Caden Swiger, and one to Austin Sinkovich. Johnson would also punch in two scores on the ground.

Not to be outdone, the defense pitched their second shutout of the year (Akron Firestone in week 4). They forced the Lions into 7 turnovers (four INTs, 3 fumbles) which gave the a Quakers short field and they were able to take advantage. Ross Davidson was the star on defense and led the charge with three interceptions and a fumble recovery. Senior Cam Jaquette had the other interception.

The Quakers (5-1, 1-1) continue EBC play as they travel to Marlington next week to take on the Dukes. Kickoff is set for 7:00.

BLAZING PAST YOU

/in /by

SALEM OH- Salem’s offense has been one of the most explosive units we have seen in the 2021 season. Big play after big play has Salem off to an impressive 4-1 start to the campaign. A majority of those big plays are coming off the feet of senior wide receiver Blaize Exline.

Some call Blaize the “x factor” of Salem’s offense, and they might be right. The Quakers seem to find success if they can get Exline the ball in space. His elite speed, and ability to read the field in front of him make him one of the most dangerous players in the YSN family. But if you ask him, he says the most improved part of his game is his route running. A dive into film will quickly show just how right he is. Blaize is able to run pristine routes that give opposing secondaries a lot of problems. Another big attribute to Exline’s game is his ability to make cuts on a dime. It really makes him hard to read. He’d call it a sense of the unexpected.

Blaize was kind enough to drop in to Running Point this week to talk about his season, and winning Baird Brothers Big Dog of the Valley this week. He also talks with Anthony Hartwig and Ty Bartell about his coaching staff, how he gets ready for Friday nights, and much more. Check out the latest Salem Football Player Profile “Blazing Past You.”
