Creek tops Beavers for Buckeye 8

From Staff Reports

CALCUTTA –Indian Creek won at least a share of the Buckeye 8 Athletic League North Division title with a 35-0 win over Beaver Local on Friday night.

Indian Creek is 6-2 and 3-0 in the Buckeye 8 North Division. Beaver Local falls to 3-5, 1-3.

Indian Creek got on the board first with a Trevor Fante to Brandon Hiles 12-yard shovel pass on 4th and 5 with 3:43 left in the first quarter. It was set up due to a botched Beaver Local snap which gave the Redskins good field position in what otherwise was a stalemate first quarter.

Beaver Local nearly countered at the start of the second quarter but a Tanner Johnston 45-yard touchdown run was called back due to holding. An interception by Creek’s Cody Allan ended that drive.

Indian Creek hit paydirt on a fourth down again as Sam Mazar hit Matt Mamula on a 19-yard touchdown pass with seven minutes left in the second quarter to make it 14-0.

A long punt return by Brandon Fleming set the Redskins up with another opportunity deep in Beaver territory, but the Beaver defense stopped the Redskins on a fourth and short at the 11 with 1:55 left in the half.

Indian Creek marched down on its first drive of the third quarter and scored on a Mazar to Fleming 5-yard pass to make it 21-0 with 7:04 left in the third quarter.

Indian Creek put the game out of reach with a short passing touchdown with 38 seconds left in the third quarter. Another short running touchdown was added on late in the fourth quarter.

Beaver Local’s starting quarterback Ethan Lewis left the game with an injury in the first quarter and did not return.

Beaver Local is at Martins Ferry next Friday.
