WHS Football Tigers Get Win Number 2

Friday - October 15: The Wellsville Tiger's football team picked up win number 2 last night in Leetonia. With what has been a trying season so far, the developing Tigers got their first, 1st Quarter touchdown on the year last night. From what we heard listening to the game on WHS Sports Station that seemed to be a wake up call.

The Tigers went on to score again in the 2nd Quarter to take a 14-3 lead into the locker room at half time. The Bears came back to score their only touch down of the night in the 3rd to make the score 14-11 but Wellsville answered that with their third touchdown of the night a short time later. That made the score 21-11 and that turned out to be the final.

Wellsville out gained the Bears with a total of 185 yards against the Bear's 154. The Tiger defense had a good night picking up two fumble recoveries and two interceptions. Leetonia only had 23 yards total for their passing game.

Last night's game show cased the all around athleticism of senior running back Chad Elliott. Elliott, pictured here, picked up 162 yards on the ground with 35 touches. He scored all three touch downs, on runs of 2, 20 & 14 yards. Elliott plays both sides and even put in some time at QB before the night was over. The picture is from the McDonald game on October 1.

Congratulations Tigers. It was a nice turn around that make us feel you can finish the season with a couple of more wins. Wellsville goes back on the road next Friday, October 22, to take on the Jackson Milton Blue Devils. Game time is 7 P.M. They wrap up their season at home October 29 with Lowellville coming to town. That game will also be Senior Night.

Good Luck fellows...
