GIVE US MOORMAN

YOUNGSTOWN OH- Ursuline senior Anisah Moorman is no stranger to playing basketball at an elite level. She played at St Christine’s before high school being coached by her uncle. That youth program seems to pop out talent at the high school level like its their job. Now a senior Anisah’s work ethic and drive hasn’t died down one bit. Her goals to be the best she can be are still the same, and she tries to instill that drive into the rest of her team.

The Irish have had to deal with their fair share of adversity. Like many teams in the area, they have had to navigate shutdowns due to COVID concerns. Anisah said it has been hard for the team to keep their competitive edge while stopping and starting throughout the year. But their tough schedule means they don’t take long to sharpen back up. Another reason the Irish have been able to persevere is their senior leadership. They have a large group of seniors that have been playing together for quite some time. Anisah and her senior teammates have no plans to end their careers any time soon. Their team goals have become laser focused on winning a district title. You do not want to be the team that gets in their way.

Anisah took the time to sit and talk with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig. She fit in the interview before a film session, which just backs up her drive to excellence. She talks with Anthony about the obstacles this season has presented, her favorite memories with the program, and much more. Gear up for the final stretch of the basketball season with this Lady Irish player profile “Give Us Moorman.”

IRISH BREAK AWAY FROM BADGER

YOUNGSTOWN OH- Ursuline got back to work Monday night with a dominant win over Badger 72-44. The Irish hadn’t played in over 10 days.

Alayna Smith led the Irish with 19 points. Senior Anisah Moorman was right behind her with 18 points. Cara McNally was also in double figures with 13.

Ursuline will travel to Kennedy Catholic on Wednesday to try and stay in the win column.

CLIPPERS JET THROUGH URSULINE TO DISTRICTS

COLUMBIANA OH- In December, Ursuline handed Columbiana a 49-30 loss, a loss that stayed in the mouths of the clippers until Saturday afternoon. Revenge was sweet as the Clippers got by Ursuline 54-43 to advance in the tournament.

The Clippers did not have to deal with any of the rust a bye week can bring. They flew out of the gates and had an impressive first quarter gathering 17 points to lead by 7. Their lead grew in the second quarter to 11, but thanks to a big three by Cara McNally, and bucket in the closing seconds by Anisah Moorman made it 32-25 at the half.

An 8-0 run out of the locker room by the Clippers would all but seal the fate of the Irish. They did not have enough firepower to mount another comeback. Not without effort, however, as the Irish did cut the lead down to nine again at the end of the third. But all that work to still be down by a point more than at halftime. The energy exposed took its toll.

Columbiana was led by Grace Witmer and Tori Long who both scored 13. Kayla Muslovski added 11.

Paris Gilmore and Moorman both led the Irish with 13.

Columbiana advances to the district semifinals on Wednesday against South Range at Struthers. The tip is set for 6:00.

The Raiders did just enough to keep a decent lead throughout the third quarter. They led 37-31 after three. The Irish had a very strong fourth quarter racking up 16 points and keeping things interesting. But the Raiders made enough plays to keep the Irish away and win 50-39.
