PROTECT THE HOME TURF, WELLSVILLE BOUNCES EDISON

/in /by

WELLSVILLE, OH- In front of a packed house on “Black Out Night,” the Wellsville Tigers newly renovated stadium and turf field started off in style with a 41-7 win over the visiting Edison Wildcats. The Tigers got things started quickly on the first drive of the night with quarterback Troy Carter going in for a one-yard score just 2:43 into the first quarter. The score was set up by a 30-yard pass from Carter to senior wide receiver standout Darien Suggs. The duo would hook up for three first-half scores. 

After taking a 14-0 lead in the second quarter, Edison responded with its own scoring drive – senior signal-caller Noah Woods capped off the drive with a run from inside the one-yard line. Woods suffered an injury in the second quarter and did not return. That one-yard score would be the only time Edison would find the end zone on the night. 

Carter finished the night with 173 yards and 3 passing touchdowns to go along with his one-yard touchdown run. The Jr. signal-caller also had an interception on defense. Suggs led all receivers with 5 catches for 135 yards and three touchdowns to go with two interceptions on defense. Freshman Isaiah Greathouse led the Tigers on the ground with six rushes for 48 yards. Jason Tice and Justin Wright also came up with interceptions on the night for the Tigers – Tice’s went 65 yards for the score. Tyler Griffith led the Wildcats in rushing with 19 carries for a hard-earned 103 yards. Vinnie Marcino chipped in seven runs for 24 yards. 

Wellsville had six takeaways and no turnovers on the night, and now have 10 forced turnovers on the year. With the win, Wellsville starts 2-0 for the first time since 2014. Edison falls to 0-2 and will host Toronto next Friday. Wellsville will host Malvern in a rematch of a game that came down to the wire in 2018.

TIGERS TOAST TORONTO TO BEGIN SEASON

/in /by

TORONTO, OH- The Wellsville football team ended the 2018 season with a disappointing 36-0 loss at rival Toronto. On that rainy night, Red Knights quarterback and Ohio State baseball recruit Nathan Karaffa set several school passing records. In a rarely seen twist of fate, the Tigers opened their 2019 season at the same place it ended the year before, but this time with much different results. In a game filled with cramps, penalties, and highlight-reel plays, the Tigers avenged their loss from 2018 with a 26-15 win at Bud Bucher Field. 

The Tigers were led on offense by senior running back/fullback combo Justin Wright and Justin Sarge. Wright led both teams in rushing with eight carried for 132 yards and a touchdown, while Sarge chipped in nine carries for 106 yards and a touchdown of his own. The duo each had long runs to paydirt. Wright ran 93 yards for a score in the first quarter, while Sarge had a 58-yard scamper in the third quarter. Wright is the defending OHSAA Division III 100 meter dash state champion. 

Seniors Jason Tice and Darien Suggs also scored for the Tigers. Tice’s score came in the third quarter on a five-yard scamper, while Suggs picked up right where he left off in 2018 with a highlight reel pick-six. Jojo Savage and Garrett Dozier led the Red Knights on the ground with 78 and 72 yards respectively, while sophomore QB Aiden Mick threw for 100 yards and a touchdown to go with four interceptions. 

The Tigers are back in action on September 6th in a home game against Edison. This will be  Wellsville’s first home game on their new turf field at Nicholson stadium.

/in /by

A new era in Wellsville has begun, and it’s all about speed.  Speed in the maturity of this team, speed in the time to contend for an EOAC Championship, and now with the new turf in place; speed on the field.

A team that has been known to push around opposition with brute force, the Wellsville Tigers will focus on speed and athleticism in 2019.  Not to say that they still can’t move bodies upfront, but the eyes will be on the skilled players and how quickly they can get behind a defense, or track down tackles.

The man tasked with it all is Top Tiger, Moose Ramsey who sat down with the voice of YSN-Wellsville, Gary Althiser for our first edition of Wellsville Football Coach’s Corner.
