MUSLOVSKI STAYS RED-HOT; CLIPPERS BOUNCE BULLDOGS

EAST PALESTINE, OH- It was a game that was circled on the calendars for both teams, albeit, for different reasons.  East Palestine was attempting to gain its first victory over the Clippers in the Muslovski-era of Columbiana, while Columbiana was looking to lock up a stranglehold on the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference.  It ended up being Columbiana who showed up shooting off the bus, essentially, on their way to a 75-33 drubbing of the Lady Bulldogs.

Columbiana Senior, Kayla Muslovski, was phenomenal in her finale against the Bulldogs putting up 36 points in about 3 and a half quarters of play.  Grace Witmer also showed up in a big way adding 10 in the scorebook for Columbiana while Karissa Tringhese and Grace Hammond set the tone on the glass combining for 16 boards.

For East Palestine, Morgan Rutledge led the way with 12 points and was supplemented by Kenzee Johnston’s 7, and Paige Snyder’s 6 tallies.

Both team’s next test will be against Southern Local.  East Palestine (10-7, 6-4) will host the Lady Indians on Wednesday while Columbiana (15-3,11-0) will travel to The Wigwam Thursday to wrap up their conference schedule.
