Basketball

The Beaver local boys basketball team will host southern local this Saturday. Last years game was a down to the wire game with the results of a Beaver local win and a crushing defeat so a repeat of a good game coming this Saturday to a Beaver dome near you will be a high energized game hope to see you there.

Basketball

The beaver local boys will travel to buckeye local this Friday in hopes of another crushing win against the buckeye boys team. The last time the two teams met up everything went right for the beavers as they blew them out 91-53 and are looking to do the same thing this Friday.

Basketball

The boys basketball team was supposed to have a home opener against the East Liverpool potters this Tuesday but due to weather the game was canceled and will be moved to a later date. The boys team 4-6 are looking to tack on another win this week against the potters who beat them last time at the potters field house. The beavers managed to knock them off last year at home so this years returning players are looking to do the same.

Student athletes

What’s it like being a student athlete? What comes first sports or school? Being a athlete isn’t just about excelling on the field and court. It’s about excelling in the classroom. For example Luke Call has managed to maintain over a 4.0 in the classroom and dominate on the Football field. We sat down with Luke and talked to him and he told us “Homework and studying always comes first at his house before anything else”. But sometimes that’s not always an option for some of the kids out there. So what are some ways that you can get your homework done or get some studying in? First off you should talk to your coach about it and see if there’s a way you could get some studying done before practice. Take the Football team for instance they’ve set up a system to where they lift, study and practice. Sounds like a lot doesn’t it? But the system works on Monday’s and Wednesday’s they lift on Tuesdays and Thursday they study. Of course they still practice on all of those days but they are still getting their work done. We went in and examined a “study table” which is what they call it and it’s all business no play. It is expected of them to have no grade lower than a C. If they have a C or lower or any missing assignment it is mandatory to be working on something. For those who have higher than a C they are allowed to watch film but most usually use the time to get their work done. So what’s the reasoning behind it? It’s for them to be able to sit in a working environment and want to finish and study what they have to in order to succeed. The study table is the real deal and is taken seriously at all times and hopes to get the Football team mentality prepared to tackle any challenge thrown their way.

Bounce back

After a crushing loss last week the beaver Local football team looks to get back on track. They fell 38-0 to Indian Creek last Friday.Talking to stand out corner Chris Yanni he’s looking to “get the bad taste out”. What does that mean? It means that the Beavers are planing to come out swinging in the game on Friday against Martian Ferry’s football team. The beavers are sitting at 6-2 going into week 8 and are looking for another W in the win Column. After having to step out of the lineup this week jacob Kane will have to sit due to a concussion. Instead Donavan Garcia will start at corner this Friday night. Come out and watch the beavers play in one of their last home games this season kickoff starts at 7:15.

Basketball season


It’s basketball season again and that means try-outs are back. Try-outs this year will take place this Friday and Saturday. Coach Pac is looking to fill some key roles in his lineup after three of his starters graduated last year. The beavers finished with a 10-11 record and are looking to beat that this year. They kick off away at crestview this December.

Ball season

The boys basketball team opened up their season with Hubbard last night in a home scrimmage. Three seniors come back for their last season in the red and white. Zak Pappas, Drew thesis, Shane Wright. Cody Bennett will also come out as a senior for his first year for the beavers. Stepping into the spotlight for varsity basketball is Luke chetock, Josh Hilditch, Tate Joseph, and Jaden kiddy three of the four got sometime last year at the end of the season and are looking to come in with a bang. Cody Flowers and Grant Hall are also two juniors that played varsity last year as sophomores. This this team is a young team with good potential this year to help the seniors leave their mark as beavers.

Rival Week

Week five. What makes week five so important? Maybe the most important game of the year showing out for your home crowd more people there than normal for two reasons. The first reason being it’s the homecoming game and people are there to see which girl wins queen. Then around 7:15 the game starts and you finally realize that the reason why so many people are at the game is that it’s against Liverpool. You heard me fight the East Liverpool Potters and you now see why the football players were so amped up all week for this game. But why is this game so important? I talked to Beaver Local’s Noah West and he said that “the reason why this game is so important is that they are the team down by the river and we share a close area with so it’s always good to have bragging rights”. And there you have it this is why the game Friday means so much.
