TIGERS TOPPLED AGAINST UNITED

/in /by

Hanoverton, OH – Wikipedia describes Murphy’s Law as an adage or epigram typically stated as: “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” That was the sentiment for the Wellsville Tigers as they suffered a 46-30 loss to United tonight that ended their 3-0 start to league play. 

The second quarter is one the Tigers would soon like to forget. Senior superstar wide receiver Darien Suggs left the game with an injury, from there nothing seemed to go the Tigers way on offense. Multiple turnovers dropped passes, and penalties helped the Eagles put up 30 points in the second frame. The end of the first quarter saw the Eagles with an 8-6 lead, at halftime it was 38-16. 

On the defensive side, the Tigers had no answer for Eagles tailback Tyler Lippiatt. The senior put his team on his back, finishing the night with 27 carries for 292 yards and four touchdowns.  Lippiatt came up with several 3rd down conversions, long runs, and seemed to break multiple tackles each time he touched the ball. 

The Tigers tried to stage a second-half comeback, but two consecutive long drives in the third quarter ending inside the 10-yard line did the Tigers in. Troy Carter finished 18 for 31 with 271 yards passing and two touchdowns to go with two one-yard touchdown runs. Sophomore receiver Valen Krzyston had 10 receptions for 151 yards and a touchdown, while Justin Wright pitched in with a 61-yard touchdown catch of his own. Krzyston also had an interception on defense. 

The Eagles outgained the Tigers by just 12 yards on the night, but it was their 10 minute time of possession advantage that sealed the Tigers fate. With the loss, Wellsville moves to 5-2 on the season, while the Eagles improve to 3-4. The Tigers play at Columbiana next week, while United heads to Southern Local.

EYE OF THE TIGER, WELLSVILLE KNOCKS OUT EP

/in /by

WELLSVILLE, OH – No opponent on the Wellsville schedule this year has kicked off to Justin Wright – and for good reason. Wright is the defending OHSAA Division III 100m state champion. Tonight, the East
Palestine Bulldogs decided to be the first to kick to the speedster – and they reminded the rest of the
state of Ohio why that strategy should be avoided. Wright took the opening kickoff 80 yards to pay dirt
to put the Tigers up 6-0 just 11 seconds into the opening frame. Casey Lemasters added the extra point,
and the Tigers never looked back on their way to a 67-13 victory on homecoming night.

On the Bulldogs opening drive, senior do-it-all receiver/defensive back Darien Suggs recorded
his 6th interception of the season – and his 3 rd for a touchdown – to put the Tigers up 14-0 within the first two minutes of the game. Nine Tigers would score points for Wellsville on the evening. Joining Wright were Seniors Jason Tice, Justin Sarge, Gary Wilson, and Suggs. Junior quarterback Troy Carter threw a touchdown pass, and also ran for one, while Lemasters went 7 for 7 on extra points. Sophomore QB Valen Krzyston took a QB keeper 95 yards for the only score of the second half for the Tigers, and
freshman Isaiah Greathouse also added a score for the orange and black.

For the Bulldogs, senior QB Dominic Cathers found a hole and scored on an 80-yard touchdown
run in the first half. Sophomore Tyler Bistarkey also found the end zone in the third quarter to cap off
scoring on the evening for the Bulldogs.

Wellsville defensive end/tight end Draven Crow received YSN player of the game honors. The
senior recorded multiple sacks, tackles for loss, and fumble recoveries for the Tigers. Crow also recorded 30+ yards on the ground for the Tigers offense. The defensive specialist has had multiple sacks/tackles for loss in every game this season for the Tigers.

Next week, Wellsville – who sat in 2nd place in division 7, region 25 before tonight’s game – head
to Hanoverton to face the United Eagles and start their most difficult stretch of the season, while East Palestine still searches for their first win as they host the undefeated Southern Local Indians. Both
games can be heard on YSN.

*Abigail Cline was crowned homecoming queen tonight for the Tigers.

TIGERS UNCAGED, WELLSVILLE ICES DEVILS

/in /by

LISBON, OH – In Columbiana County high school football history, only two teams have played for an OHSAA state championship – the Lisbon Blue Devils and Wellsville Tigers. Tonight, those teams faced off in Week 2 of EOAC conference play, with the Tigers coming away with a convincing 31-0 victory. 

The Tigers got things started off quickly on their first drive of the night. After holding the Blue Devils to a punt on their opening drive, the Tigers went right down the field and capped things off with a 6 yard touchdown run by senior tailback Jason Tice just 5:03 into the opening frame.  Tice would finish the day with 75 yards and a touchdown on just 9 carries. 

It was all Tigers in the first half as Troy Carter hooked up with his favorite target in the 2nd quarter – senior do-it-all wide receiver Darien Suggs – for an 11-yard touchdown pass. Suggs made a nice move to get free and increase the Tigers lead to 14-0 just 2:13 into the 2nd quarter. 

Senior fullback Justin Sarge capped off the first-half scoring with a nine-yard touchdown run with 7:22 remaining in the first half. Junior kicker Casey Lemasters kicked a 31-yard field goal at the end of the first half to put the Tigers up 24-0. Lemasters would finish the evening as the YSN player of the game, going 4/4 on extra-point attempts, 1/1 on field goals, and notching a touchdown-saving tackle on the Blue Devils first kickoff return of the second half. Lemasters is also a starter on the Tigers soccer team. 

The second half saw just one score – a 10-yard touchdown run by freshman running-back/defensive back Isaiah Greathouse. Greathouse hit pay-dirt with 5:16 left in the game. The Freshman Phenom led the Tigers in rushing with 99 yards on just 11 carries. Tice was second on the team for the evening with 75 yards and a touchdown on 9 carries. 

The Tigers had a touchdown was taken off the board on their opening drive of the 3rd quarter – a 20-yard touchdown pass from Carter to Suggsn – because of a block in the back penalty. It was the 3rd touchdown pass of the year that has been dropped or called back because of penalty for Carter.

The Tigers host East Palestine next week for homecoming night, while the Blue Devils travel to undefeated Southern Local. Southern defeated Crestview 41-24, while the Bulldogs took one on the chin from the United Eagles, 43-14.
