The Leetonia Bears came to town this past Friday with a 5 & 1 record. When they got on the bus to go home after the game both the Bears & the Tigers had records of 5 & 2 on the season. With an impressive display of some hard hitting defense Wellsville held Leetonia scoreless winning the game 18 - 0. There were a couple of times I could hear #25 - Jacob Cole's pads cracking when tackling a Leetonia ball carrier. Reminded me of Donnie Shell of Steelers fame when they started winning Super Bowls - nice, clean hard hitting defense.
My vote for game ball goes to Chad Elliott. He scored two of the Tiger's three touch downs. The first was a pass reception from Bubba Dowling and the second was an interception return for a TD. That score on the pass reception was the only completed pass for WHS on a wet & rainy night. The other TD was scored by Jeremy Carter on a 45 yard sprint around the outside corner. Carter finished the night with 94 total yards rushing. My second choice would be the defense. Not only did they shut out the Bears they had four interceptions and made one heckuva goal line stance denying Leetonia a chance to score.
Half-time was crowning the Homecoming Queen. Lindsy Koontz came home from Akron U to do the honors crowning this year's queen, Krislyn Dalrymple. Other members of this year's Fall Homecoming court were Celeste Hanselman, Rachel Vallera, Taylor Buzzard, Britne Thomas and Emmalee McIntosh.
Wellsville faces Jackson-Milton at home next Friday. The drive for a play-off spot will continue.
I apologize for not having any pictures this week. Something happen to my camera card and I can't get the pictures to download. It's distressing!

Hey Nib, let's not forget about the defense who had 4 sacks in that game. Joe Hall had 2, Jeff McMahon and Christian Kapp each had 1.
Whoops! I missed mentioning the sacks. Those guys were on first name basis with the Bear's QB Lance Tullis by the end of the game.
Sorry about that guys.

Great game for the Tigers on both sides of the ball. Hopefully, we will get back our injured players for the Jackson Milton game, we need them as we make our drive for the playoffs. GO TIGERS.......
I just want to say good luck to all the senior players.
