WELLSVILLE, OH – As playoff seeding draws closer, the Wellsville Tigers and the Lisbon Blue Devils are both fighting for better positioning when voting begins in a few weeks. Last night’s game had a significant impact on those seedings as both teams are right in the middle of the pack, looking to emerge into one of those top four positions to receive a first game bye.

/in /by

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH- The Beavers picked up a nice home victory over the Wellsville Tigers by the final score of 59-54 in a back and forth affair.

Beaver Local jumped out to an early 10 point lead, but a late bucket by Darrion Suggs and a three pointer from Luke Green cut the deficit to 5 to end the first. Wellsville found a groove after that, taking the lead for the majority of the second quarter, as Justin Wright and Troy Carter found a couple buckets each in the post to find a 26-23 lead at the half. 

The Beavers came out of the locker room swinging and took the lead right back and stretched it to 8 entering the 4th. Wellsville went on a couple of runs and pulled to within one possession multiple times in the final quarter, but couldn’t finish the job as the Beavers took home the dub. They improve to 9-6 on the campaign.

Luke Chetock and Nathan Barber each had 16 points to lead Beaver Local. Logan Reed would chip in 9 points.

Darien Suggs led the Tigers with 18 points while Luke Green finished with 14.

LISBON, OH- If you’re a fan of motivational coaches, you don’t have to look very far to find one in Lisbon.  Chris Huckshold is renowned for firing up his team, and in turn, his team fires off victories that raise eyebrows county-wide.

Friday was no different.

The Blue Devils have had struggles in the early going after losing their all-time leading scorer Justin Sweeney to graduation.  However, if you ask any of the current players, they don’t buy into that excuse anymore, and on Friday a true TEAM victory propelled Lisbon back into the EOAC spotlight after a convincing 60-34 victory over rival Wellsville.

Ryan “Peanut” McCullough played inspired with 22 points and four assists, while the big man, Blayne Brownfield chipped in 14 points.  Adam Spencer cleaned the glass all night on his way to 11 boards.  Michael Davis had 6 rebounds, while Joey Fisher had 4 helpers and 4 steals for the Devils.

For Wellsville, Justin Wright had 10 points.

Wellsville (2-4) will return to action today on the road in Oak Glen, while Lisbon (3-7) will host Heartland Christian on Tuesday.

LADY BULLDOGS BOUNCE BACK; TOPPLE TIGERS

/in /by

WELLSVILLE, OH- If you have talked to East Palestine Head Coach Will Franklin over the course of the last week, he’s been anxiously awaiting his team’s return to the court.  After last Thursday’s loss to Leetonia, East Palestine was looking for an outlet for frustration, and a chance to show who they are.  Unfortunately for Wellsville, they were the first obstacle in the wake, and East Palestine bounced back in a big way for a 71-39 victory.

It’s been a week since the Lady Dogs took the floor, as their game with Southern was postponed on Monday due to weather (will be made up February 5th.) So, it’s been long practices that have left East Palestine doing some soul-searching about how they want this season to go.

On Thursday, the fire was back.

Three Lady Dogs finished in double figures including Joclyn Fristik with 19, Paige Snyder with 18 and 10 boards, and Patience Champney with a dozen.  Payton Sherry had a double-double with 10 assists and 11 boards to go along with 6 points.  Morgan Rutledge had 3 blocks, 3 steals, and 4 points as well.

For Wellsville, Cameron Carlevale had 10 points and Hunter Weekley had 9 for the Tigers.

The Lady Bulldogs (3-3, 1-1) will get a day’s rest before lacing up for the Battle of the Borders Tournament on Saturday at Noon in the Dog Pound.  Wellsville (2-4, 0-3) will tie up with Edison on December 30th at 7pm on the road.
