The OVAC All-Star game pitting Ohio vs. West Virginia is tonight at 7 at Wheeling Island.
It’s always televised live on WTOV9 out of Steubenville, and not sure if it’s streamlined on www.wtov9.com or not.
Half, 27-14 Ohio.
Seems like this game is being played earlier than usual, of course, with the schools starting in mid-August now and these young man playing in this game heading to college, that makes sense. Been to quite a few of these games over the years on the island, a lot of great memories. Just my opinion, which of course is biased, this is one of the best run and organized HS Football All-Star games around. My hat is off to the OVAC, the all-star committee, and all of those involved who make this a great event, year in and year out. Hope that the Ohio squad can hold on for a victory tonight.
The OVAC game is always the last Sunday in July.
Ohio won 27-26
WV placekicker from Wheeling Park missed 2 extra points, one from 33-yards out after a penalty on TD.
Beallsville’s DE Dalton Secrest won game MVP, completing dominating WV lineman from Morgantown.
Shadyside’s Littell leaped over defensive line to stop WV RB on 4th-and-inches.
All in all an exciting game. Highlights on channel 9 (wtov9.com) and 7 (wtrf.com)
Steubenville Central qb Collabella played well.
