The Red Devils beat East
Liverpool on Ryan Lopez’
27-yard field goal.

CAMPBELL — Campbell High football coach Jeff Bayuk got his first win with his new school and it was pretty refreshing.

Red Devil kicker Ryan Lopez made a 27-yard field goal with 13 seconds left to lift Campbell to an 18-15 win over East Liverpool in a Metro Athletic Conference game on Friday.

The win snapped a 17-game losing streak for the Red Devils, who gave Bayuk a postgame Gatorade shower.

“They were so excited,” said Bayuk. “It was worth it.”

Maurice Kerns scored two touchdowns for Campbell (1-3, 1-0), which took 15-0 lead late in the third quarter. John Turner had 88 yard rushing and Darrio Bivens added 80, while David Glenn and Vince Simon each blocked a punt for the Red Devils.

Brandon Edison rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown and Denny Ours added 48 and the game-tying score with just under two minutes left for the Potters (0-4, 0-1).

East 16, Eastlake North 8

EASTLAKE — East took a 16-0 lead, then battled injuries and hung on before a goal-line stand sealed the Panthers’ victory.

Senior wide receiver Jeff Purdie caught an 81-yard pass from Sal Battles to set up East’s first touchdown by senior fullback Ray Catley.

Catley’s run was from 3 yards out and Roncarlos Hilton’s conversion run gave the Panthers an 8-0 lead that increased to 10-0 when junior outside linebacker Chris West tackled Eastlake North’s punter in the end zone with nine minutes remaining before halftime.

Junior tailback Anthony Robinson scored East’s other TD on a 52-yard run.

Battles injured his throwing hand and was replaced by Hilton, a junior, in the second half.

Eastlake scored with 4:40 when Brian Swilley ran in from 10 yards out.

With 1:50 remaining, East stopped Eastlake on the Panthers’ 2-yard line. After a 1-yard gain, Eastlake got stuffed behind the line of scrimmage by a defense led by tackle Luis Charriez and Maurice Harris.

Maple Heights 22,
Chaney 7

MAPLE HEIGHTS — Chaney’s Marqueal Smith tied the game at 7 with a 57-yard run in the second quarter but Maple Heights scored 15 unanswered points in the second half to get the win.

Dontae Wallace caught touchdown passes of 44 and 52 yards from quarterback Cortez Harris to lead Maple Heights (3-1).

The Cowboys are 0-4.

Poland 34, Salem 0

SALEM — Trent Vallinger scored two touchdowns, while Tyler Vallinger, Greg Sabol and Ross Lopez added one apiece on the ground as running backs took the limelight for Poland (3-1).

Poland, which held a 21-0 halftime lead, used 50 rushing plays to amass 326 yards, while Salem managed only 14 yards rushing, due to the Bulldogs’ tenacious defense.

Poland also had an 18-9 advantage in first downs.

Sabol, a junior, gained 100 yards on 10 attempts, while Trent Vallinger added 76 on nine carries for the winners.

Senior defensive back Mitch Baird had two of Poland’s three interceptions. Baird’s second pickoff led to Lopez’s TD.

Austen Hutton picked up 40 yards on 13 attempts and the senior running back also had five receptions for 34 yards for Salem (0-4).

Salem quarterback Zac O’Brien completed 11 of 20 passes for 94 for the Quakers. Ben Eisel was Salem’s top receiver with five catches for 48 yards.
