(New Brighton,Pa) It was a beautiful night for football on WBVP as we traveled to Oak Hill Field in New Brighton. Bob Barrickman and Jason Colangelo called the action for Beaver County Radio. The New Brighton Lions got up early on Neshannock, and stayed up. On the second drive of the game, a 54 yard TD run by Kei’ondre Abercrombie gave the Lions an early 7-0 lead. Nya Green followed up the score with a 2 yard TD run of his own, making the score 14-0. The Lancers battled back with a 1 yard TD run by Brian Gennock, which also led to the ejection of the Lions Running back Nya Green,  but the Lions answered right back with a 17 yard TD catch by Jake Francona, leading to a score of 21-6. Brian Gennock scored on his second 1 yard TD run, but a failed 2-point conversion led to a score of 21-12. Francona caught a second TD for 49 yards, widening the margin to 28-12, and the Lancers answered right back with a 17 yard TD run by Ethan Weatherby out of the Wildcat formation. The Lions kicked a field goal at the end of the half. Making the halftime score 31-18. Defense was the name of the game in the second half, with both teams being shut out. The final score of the game was New Brighton 31 and Neshannock 18. The Lions are now 5-1 over all and 3-0 in The MAC. Neshannock fell to 4-2 over all and 3-1 in the MAC. The Lions victory sets up a huge showdown with the Freedom Bulldogs next Friday night that we will be covering on Beaver County Radio. The Bulldogs who played a non-conference game this week against Valley will come into next Friday’s action with a 6-0 overall record and 4-0 in the MAC. The Lions will face an up hill struggle from the beginning as one of their key players Nya Green was ejected in the first quarter of last nights game and is ineligible to play in the game. Air time on Beaver County Radio is 6:30 pm with kick-off from Bulldog Stadium scheduled for 7 pm.
