/in /by

LISBON OH- Fresh off a big win over Jackson Milton on Tuesday, Badger came in to Friday with upset on their mind. They knew they’d have a height advantage, and tried to use as much as possible.

The Braves defense was actually the hero, getting a big stop while Lisbon had opportunities to tie the game. The Braves defensive stand let them hold on to their 46-44 win. Badger outscored Lisbon 17-8 in the fourth quarter.

Leading the Braves was Jack Lendak who had a monster game finishing with 25 points. Jaden Richards was also in double figures with 13 points for the Braves.

BADGER BOYS BASKETBALL COACH’S CORNER (EP 2) WITH JOSH UPSHIRE

/in /by

KINGSMAN OH- Badger brings a ton of size with them to this division 4 district tournament. That is a big advantage they have over other teams, and head coach Josh Upshire knows it. Now, Jackson Milton knows it as well. The height of the Braves caused too many problems for the Blue Jays to overcome in the sectional semifinal. Badger moves on to travel to Lisbon in the sectional final on Friday, and they hope their size will be just as dominating.

Coach Upshire took time to come on YSN’s Running Point this week to talk about where his team is at heading into their next tournament game. He talks with Anthony Hartwig, and Ty Bartell about the game plan heading in to Lisbon. Check out Episode 2 of Coach’s Corner with Josh Upshire.

/in /by

LOWELLVILLE OH- Lowellville has been steadily but surely under the radar this season. Although they may not have had all the results they wanted out of the regular season, they still did more than enough to earn a top 15 seed in the division IV district.

The Rockets went into Kingsman with upset on the brain, and they got it after a marathon double overtime classic. The Rockets got the 60-55 win.

Frankie Lellio led the Rockets with 16 points. She was not the only one in double figures however as she was joined by three teammates. Sammie Moore, and Savannah Procick both racked in 13. Procick was 3/5 from three point land. Lilly Coppola added 11. Lowellville hit 8 threes as a team.

The Rockets advance to the district semifinal on Wednesday. They will match up with top seeded Bristol. That game is taking place at Grand Valley High School. Tip is set for 6:00.
