Get your motor running
Columbiana coach Bob Spaite thinks Friday’s Columbiana at East Palestine football game is going to be one to remember. “If you’re a high school football fan and like contrasting styles, this is the game to be at,” Spaite said. “You’re going to see NASCAR vs. a tractor pull.” Both teams come in unbeaten which is a rarity in this series. The winner could come out with the inside track in the hunt for the Inter-Tri County League upper tier crown — especially since the schedule has so many top matchups early on. “By week three of the league season everyone should know where they stand,” Spaite said. East Palestine coach Jeff Sharkey doesn’t see it being that clear though. “I think this year is going to be a lot like last year,” Sharkey said. “The difference between one and eight in the league is not all that great. Even though the winner of this game will be in a great position, it doesn’t mean that those teams who finish four, five and six won’t be able to win here or there.
