BIG TIGER RUN PROPELS THEM TO FINALS
NEW MIDDLETOWN OH- It was a very intriguing matchup in Tuesday’s district semifinal between Springfield and Champion. The Flashes record on paper might not measure up to Springfield, but when you break down the way they started the season, to how they finished it is easy to tell they were playing a great brand of basketball. After trailing at halftime 22-20, the Tigers used a huge 11-0 run to win the second half 34-19 on route to a 54-41 victory.
The Tigers were led by both Alex Rothwell, and Beau Brungard who finished with 14 each. Adam Wharry added 13 points to contribute to the Tiger offense.
Austin Wilforth played admirably for the Flashes scoring a game high 19 points to lead Champion.
Springfield hosts the winner of South Range vs Pymatuning Valley. That game got moved to Wednesday to off set South Range’s girls team playing in the regional semifinals on Tuesday. The district final at Springfield will be Friday at 7:00.
