REBELS BREAK DOWN BROOKFIELD

BROOKFIELD OH- Crestview continues to roll through their MVAC schedule. The Rebels have yet to be beaten within the conference. Their latest victim was Brookfield. Crestview rolled in a sweep of the Warriors (25-12 25-9 25-14).

Grace Auer was all over the stat sheet for the Rebels. She finished with 17 digs, 10 kills, 8 assists, and 5 aces. Lucy Montgomery collected another double double with a team high 11 kills, and 12 assists. She also had 3 aces and 4 digs. Kendra Greaves was in double digit digs with 10.

Crestview will stay in conference on Thursday as they host Liberty. Brookfield falls to 5-7 and will travel to LaBrae on Thursday.

WARRIORS STAY UNDEFEATED

BELOIT OH- West Branch was flying high into week 5 with a record of 4-0. This coming off a 2019 season where the Warriors won only 2 games. Calling it a turn around would be an understatement as the Warriors faced down their next challenge against East Liverpool. The Warriors traded blows with the Potters back and forth, but eventually found enough plays to win 34-28.

Brock Hillyer returned to the lineup going 16-25 with 208 yards and 3 TDs. Alek Wilson barreled in to the end zone to score what ended up being the game winner with just over 10 minutes remaining in the game. The Warriors ran for a total of 117 yards.

The Potters outgained the Warriors 331-313, but it wasn’t enough to prevail. The ground game was working for East Liverpool as they gained 275 yards on the ground on 40 carries. Howie Williams has 23 of those carries with 188 yards. He scored twice, once on the ground and once through the air.

West Branch now sets their sights on Canton South Friday in a game that will decide the EBC title. The Potters will close out their season next Friday at Edison.

QUAKERS RALLY FOR A THRILLING WIN

SALEM OH- The Quakers found themselves in a decisive set five after dropping the fourth set. They quickly responded in the match against Carrollton on Saturday and mustered up momentum to come back and win the match in five sets (25-18 24-26 25-18 14-25 15-8).

Stats:

Emma Hochadel: 18 assists, 5 aces
Morgan McGaffick: 12 assists
Rylie Troy: 35 digs, 5 kills

Zoie Reid: 9 kills

DESHIELDS CARRIES WARRIORS PAST CARROLTON

CARROLTON OH- Brock Hillyer couldn’t play Friday night as the West Branch quarterback, but that wouldn’t slow them down against a good Carrolton team. Dru DeShields stepped up as a back up and led West  Branch to a 37-20 victory.

DeShields gained a combined 302 yards on the night between his throwing, and running. He was also responsible for 4 Warrior touchdowns. Alek Wilison finished with 83 receiving yards and a touchdown.

West Branch remains undefeated and will host East Liverpool in week 5. The Potters are coming off of a loss to Crestview.

QUAKERS MAKE IT QUICK AT CANTON SOUTH

CANTON OH- The trip may have been long, but it was a quick sweep for Salem over Canton South on Thursday (25-22 25-14 25-12).

Kaley Davis has another good night for the Quakers with 9 kills, and 5 aces. Rylie Troy patrolled the back row and collected 16 digs. She also recorded 6 aces. Morgan McGaffick set up 15 assists. Zoie Reid finished with 6 kills. Kaelyn Helmick has 4 kills, and 2 blocks.

Salem will stay on the road on Saturday for a tough test against East Liverpool.

QUAKERS STORM BACK ON CARROLLTON

SALEM OH- Despite squandering two opportunities with 1st and goal to go inside the 3, and trailing 28-14 with under 6 minutes to go, the Quakers didn’t quit and came out with an exciting 29-28 victory over previously undefeated Carrollton on Friday night.

Trailing 7-6 at halftime, and 14-6 in the 4th, Salem marched down and scored and with the 2 point conversion, tied the game at 14 apiece. The Warriors then came out and scored on two consecutive possessions to take 28-14 lead but the no quit Quakers scored on their next possession to cut the lead to 28-21. After executing a perfect onside kick, the Quakers marched down and scored and went for a gutsy 2 point conversion to take the lead.
Carrollton then marched down the field and had a 29 yard field goal to win it but came up short and the Quakers held on. Jackson Johnson led the way with 4 total TDs for the Quakers.
Salem improves to 1-2 and will face Marlington next week at Sebo Stadium.

WARRIORS CONTAIN LEOPARDS; START OFF 1-0

BROOKFIELD, OH – The 2020 high school football season finally got underway Friday night with the Liberty Leopards traveling north to Brookfield to take on the Warriors but unfortunately the game was postponed until tonight with 1:21 left in the first quarter as the Warriors were leading 7-6.

Brookfield struck first Friday night thanks to a Haden Gibson touchdown run from eight yards out. Liberty then wasted no time answering on their next possession as Chris Cunningham took the handoff 80 yards to the house before the postponement occurred.

As we got back underway tonight, the Warriors took over and controlled the entire football game on both sides ball as they proceeded to score 28 unanswered points en route to a 35-12 victory. During that run, Teandre Craig had a rushing touchdown from one yard out and Isaiah Jones had a receiving touchdown on a 30 yard back shoulder fade.

Up next for Liberty (0-1) will be another road test as they will travel to Newton Falls (0-0) to take on the Tigers next Friday night.

Up next for Brookfield (1-0) will be the first road game of the year as they will travel up to Leavittsburg to take on the Vikings of LaBrae (1-0).

WARRIORS GET REVENGE ON SALEM

BELOIT OH-

Going along with the chaos of 2020, why should the football season opener be any different? After numerous lightning delays and torrential downpours, Salem and West Branch play 2 halves of football on 2 different days, concluding on Saturday with the Warriors coming out on top 44-20. Quarterback Brock Hillyer led the Warrior attack up and down the field, spreading the ball around to the wide array of weapons at his disposal.
After trailing at halftime 14-0, the Quaker offense showed signs of life striking on the 1st play of the second half to cut it to 14-6, but the defense was unable to stop the Warrior attack.  The Quakers never got closer than 10 the rest of the way, trading blows with the Warriors until a late interception and TD to follow put the game away.
Jackson Johnson threw 2 TDs (both to Blaize Exline) and Jason Austin ran for the other Quaker score.
Salem (0-1) travels to Canton South next week, while West Branch (1-0) travels to Minerva.
