UNITED GETS THROUGH BATTLE WITH INDIANS

/in /by

SALINEVILLE OH-

The early season matchup on Monday night between United and Southern was thought to be one that could set the tone the rest of the way in the EOAC.  After it was all said and done United was able to escape with the 35-30 victory over Southern.

Behind a very emotional start the Indians were able to get out to an early 16-11 lead behind timely three point shooting and transition baskets.  The second period, plagued by multiple miscues by both teams, was one that saw both offenses struggle.  Each team traded baskets and turnovers which led Southern to take a  22-17 lead to the locker room.

The message at the half by United Coach Josh Sigler was clear ”Don’t panic, we are making a lot of self-inflicted mistakes with missed layups and foul shots.”  The coach knew the early part of the third period was going to be key “ I told them if we come out and throw the first punch and lock down our defense we would be ok.”

Taylor Cope heard that message loud and clear.  Cope took control of the game inside on her way to a 15 point / 8 rebound performance.  Cope’s basket with 4:43 to go in the third gave the Eagles their first lead of the game and never looked back.  United’s defense limited Southern to just 8 second half points and forced 25 turnovers on the night.

 United Senior Colby Burton led the Eagle attack on the boards with a team high 9 rebounds.  Grace Knight contributed a solid game for the victors with 6 points / 7 rebounds / 3 steals. Ashley Shroades led Southern with 12 points / 12 rebounds in a losing effort.  Coach Sigler after the game ”We just played two undefeated league opponents on the road and did what we had to do.  We will enjoy the win, but tomorrow we have to get better and prepare for Wellsville.”

 United (3-1, 2-0) looks to keep their season going in the right direction Thursday night welcoming Wellsville to Hanoverton.

/in /by

CAMPBELL, OHIO. The Southern Indians traveled to John Knapick Field to take on the Valley Christian Eagles. Southern flexed to stay atop the EOAC with a 46-22 win.

In the first half in was all Southern as they blanked the Eagles 46 to 0 in the first half as the eagles offense struggled to get moving and had and couple of turnovers that were returned for touchdowns.

The eagles led by veteran head coach Andy Hake came out in the second half and blanked the Indians 22 to 0 as the offense led by quarter back Joey Battista, wide receiver Veshun Gurley, and running back Cameron Davenport scored on multiple drives in the second half.

Unfortunately as the Eagles were down by more than 30 points at half the running clock began and time just simply ran out of the Eagles as they fall 46-22 to the Southern Indians.
