A CHAMPIONSHIP 38 YEARS IN THE MAKING

SOUTHINGTON, OHIO- The NAC championship came down between the Badger Braves and the Chalker Wildcats. After a little bit of a shaky start, the Braves got back on track and after a buzzer beater three pointer by Katie Grexa, they led the Wildcats 22-11.

The Wildcats tried to keep pace, but the Braves defense kept a strong hold. The Braves were led by Katie Grexa with 15 points. Bree Huscroft and Gabby Miller combined for 12 points, and Addison Thompson added 8 points, along with a great night defensively. The Braves pulled away from the Wildcats to win 43-28, winning their first NAC championship in 38 years.

The Braves started the year with just a 1-4 record and then proceeded to win 17 games in a row, with the first win of their streak coming against Chalker. The Braves will go for 18 in a row to finish the season strong, when they take on Girard next Thursday.
