2010- 2011 ELHS Sports Season

We got a late start last year. That resulted in a very sparse recognition of ELHS athletes. We hope to do a better job this year and in future years. Help and cooperation from the student athletes, coaches, and the school is asked for and will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

FOOTBALL

The East Liverpool Potters had an exciting and successful 8-2 regular season record. They appeared in the playoffs for the first time in 8 seasons where they lost in the first round.

One Example: Friday September 24, 2010, East Liverpool Potters v. Struthers High School at Struthers. East Liverpool won 28-21 in 2OT. One particular play by QB Marky Thompkins was captured on tape and has become a internet as well as national media hit.

H/T Nic.

Update: It's necessary to add that the play was called back. According to JJHUddle.com, in Ohio high school football, "hurdling a player who has a one or two feet on the ground is a penalty." Injury Concerns.
