GARFIELD SURVIVES MIGHTY CHAMPION EFFORT

GARRETTSVILLE OH- You can never count out a Champion team, that is a lesson Garfield learned all too well on Thursday night. To say the start of the season has been bumpy for Champion would be an understatement. Plagued with injuries the Flashes have had to put players in to new situations with little to no experience.  They’ve taken their lumps, but a win on Thursday against an undefeated Garfield team could have sparked a huge turnaround. They got close. In the end it was the G-Men that showed grit and battled through Champion’s biggest punch to keep their perfect season alive 46-43.

Mandy Cardinal led the way for Garfiekd has she put in a big 16 points. Madeline Shirkey also got in to double figures on the night finishing with 13.  Laura McCoy finished with 5 points.

For Champion their efforts were led by Bella Meyer with a game-high 22 points. Kayla Haynie added one of the best games of her season getting in to double figures with 15 points.

Garfield escapes with the victory and moves on to travel to Liberty on Monday. Champion will stay on the road as they travel to Campbell.
