LADY FALCONS DRAW EVEN IN SECOND HALF TO TIE BOARDMAN

/in /by

BOARDMAN, OH- The Lady Spartans would jump out in front in the first half to take an early advantage over their rival from down the road.  However, the aggressive play of the Falcons and control of possession in the second half led to a tie game when Ashley Givens found the back of the net on a penalty kick.

 

ANDERSON LEADS BOARDMAN OVER IRISH

/in /by

YOUNGSTOWN, OH- It was a nerve-wracking battle at the Cafaro Gymnasium on Tuesday night. The 19-1 Boardman Spartans boys basketball team were given a run for their money by the 9-11 Youngstown Ursuline Fighting Irish. 

The Fighting Irish came up just short against Boardman, at a final score of 62-60. Leading the way for Boardman was Derrick Anderson. Anderson scored a phenomenal 38 points, 61% of the team’s points. In the third quarter, as the Fighting Irish surged ahead of the near-perfect Boardman, Anderson took matters into his own hands. Anderson visited the free-throw line three times, making all six shots, while also putting the Fighting Irish in foul trouble. In the final seconds, Anderson launched a three-pointer in from the bench area, double-teamed, and nailed the shot. Anderson’s shot swung the momentum back to Boardman and were able to pull away with the victory. 

It was a heartbreaker for the Irish, who were celebrating senior night. The team was led by senior Daysean Harris, who dropped 18 points. Harris fought hard in the final seconds, looking for a game-tying shot, but his attempts were unsuccessful. 

The Irish were 25 of 53 from the field, while Boardman was 19 of 38. Most importantly, once again, it was free-throw shooting. Boardman was a stellar 18 of 22, while the Irish were 5 of 12. The Irish fall to 9-12, with their next matchup coming on the road against the Massillon Washington Tigers. Boardman, on the other hand, improves to a stunning 20-1 and will look to get their second win of the season against the Austintown Fitch Falcons next.

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH – As the 2019-2020 girls basketball season wraps up, the final game of the year for the Crestview Lady Rebels was a home, non-conference match up against a very talented McDonald Blue Devils team. The Lady Rebs also closed out their season with senior night to honor Madi Wick and Tanner Hoffer.

The first two quarters saw both teams battle each other with very little separation as Molly Howard’s three first half three pointers gave McDonald a 17-14 lead at the break. The third quarter saw much of the same as McDonald clung to a five point advantage heading into the final quarter. In that fourth quarter however, the Blue Devils sprung to life, as Crestview’s tough defense did all they could to try to contain Howard and Sophia Constantino, but ultimately, the Lady Rebels fell short, 43-29.

The McDonald Blue Devils were led by Molly Howard with 21 points and Sophia Constantino with 13 points.

The Crestview Lady Rebels were led by Krista Perry with 10 points and Addison Bandy with 8 points.

Up next for Crestview (14-8) will be their first game of the 2020 OHSAA state playoffs, as they will welcome the winner of the #5 Rootstown vs #12 Canton Central Catholic game to town on February 22nd.
