RAIDERS SLIP AWAY FROM STRUTHERS

/in /by
CANFIELD – The South Range Lady Raiders hosted the Struthers Lady Wildcats on
Monday night where the Raiders were able to advance to 2-1 on the season with a
dominant win, 60-33. Both teams started out fast, with a quick pace. That quick pace
would start to produce turnovers by both clubs. In the 2nd quarter, the Raiders were
able to take control, and keep control all through the 2nd half.  The Raiders never
looked back and got an early victory in the season over the Wildcats.
For the Raiders, Izzy Lamparty, once again led the team in points with 19 on the night.
Behind her was Lexi Giles who added 15 points with three excellent 3s on the night for
her. Gabby Lamparty, just like her sister, had another great night with 13 points. For the
Wildcats, it was a tough night to get anything to fall as Emma Elia was held to 10 points
after coming off a 35 point game. Behind her was Emma Morris who put up 7, and Ella
Croyle with 6 on the night.
The Wildcats will be home next, on December 14th to host Louisville. The
Raiders will head to Ursuline to take on the Fighting Irish, on December 10th.

ELIA UNDER THE LIGHTS

/in /by

STRUTHERS OH- When you talk to Struthers standout Emma Elia, one thing becomes immediately apparent, she loves the sport of basketball. That love of the game breeds a unmatched work ethic that has taken Emma to the highest levels. She recalls wanting to be a point guard in fourth grade, when her coach told her what it would take, all she did was work towards those goals. When she achieved them, it cemented a solid work schedule.

Elia is going in to her senior season at Struthers and is already one of the top players in the NE8. Any opponent of the Wildcats has to have Emma at the top of their scouting report. Jefferson learned that the hard way in Struthers season opener last week. Emma went off, and scored her career high 35 points on the Falcons. Like most things in her game, she attributed it to work in the off season, Elia says her confidence has gotten better, and her shot is starting to get higher. She knew her weaknesses coming in to the year and worked on them in the summer. That shows that Elia can self evaluate her game and make changes accordingly.

Emma isn’t taking anything for granted in her senior season. She says the knowledge that any game can be their last has made her team much closer and tight knit. They have big plans to not only compete, but win the league this season.

Emma took the time to talk about her season and career with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig this week. They discuss her accomplishments, her work ethic, and much more. Don’t miss this exclusive interviews with one of the best players in the area “Elia Under The Lights.”

POLAND PUSHES PAST WILDCATS

/in /by

POLAND OH- The third matchup of the season between Struthers and Poland carried the most weight. The winner of this game moved on to the Fitch district semifinal, the loser would end their season. Poland needed every ounce of energy to beat a hungry Wildcat team 56-43.

The first half of the game was very competitive. A back and forth affair. Struthers made a statement out of the gate as Emma Elia knocked down a long two for the first points of the game. Poland would eventually grab the lead back, but not by much. The Bulldogs kept the lead for the rest of the half but Struthers never let it get over four. Poland held on to a 26-24 lead at the break. Much different than the first two matchups which were dominated by Poland.

The third quarter is when Poland began to create some separation. They got tremendous toughness inside from Kailyn Brown who finished through contact a couple times. They also got strong hustle plays off the bench from Ella Harrell. Brooke Bobbey has a key steal and fast-break layup near the end of the third to keep Struthers at bay. In the final frame, Poland’s depth took its toll as they slowly but surely pushed past Struthers. Harrell got half of her 12 points in the fourth quarter.

Jackie Grisdale became the seventh player in the Poland program to reach 1,000 points tonight. It came in the third quarter on her thirteenth point. She led the offense with 19 points in total. Three other Bulldogs were in double figures. Ella Harrell used a strong final frame to finish with 12, Kailyn Brown contributed 11 and Brooke Bobbey added 10.

Chloe Neider led the Wildcats with 13. Emma Elia put together a strong night with 10.

Poland advances to play Southeast Wednesday at Austintown Fitch in the district semifinals. The tip is set for 6:00.

/in /by

STRUTHERS OH- The Struthers Wildcats got their tournament run off to a great start Saturday afternoon beating Niles 61-34.

The third meeting between the two teams started out very competitive. With Struthers putting all eyes on Niles leading scorer Nae Fryer, her supporting cast was able to get some space. Struthers held just a 15-14 lead after 1. Niles stuck around in the second quarter even though Struthers started to stretch their lead. At the half it was an eight point Wildcat lead.

The second half was all Struthers as their defense began to clamp down on the Dragons. Turnovers led to easy transition layups. Emma Elia also showed great toughness finishing through contact multiple times. Struthers nearly doubled their first half total in the third quarter, putting up 22 in the frame to lead 47-29. Niles was only able to score five more points the rest of the way and the Wildcats came away with the 61-34 win.

Emma Elia led Struthers with 21 points. Renee Leonard also had a strong day with 15 points and 7 assists.

Nae Fryer led the Dragons with 15.

Struthers advances to the sectional final on Thursday at Poland. Tip is set for 7:00.

POLAND DEFENSE SILENCES STRUTHERS

/in /by

Defense was the story of the night for Poland. They got their first NE8 win Thursday night over Struthers 50-40.

Poland still is trying to find a solid rhythm in their young season. Lucky for them they have a suffocating defense to hold teams down while they find it. In the first three-quarters of the game, the highest-scoring frame for Struthers was 10. And in the first and third quarters they were held to 2, and 3 respectfully.

On the offensive side of the Ball, the Bulldogs got started quickly with 8 fast points. But then they stalled for a bit as the first quarter bled into the second. Poland’s perimeter game was not as on as it was earlier in the week vs Champion. Poland went 2/11 from three point land on the night. That didn’t stop sophomore Morgan Kluchar from having a great night on the glass. She led the team in rebounds with 10. Helping Poland limit Struthers to one opportunity, and giving them some extra opportunities on the other side. Poland rebounded well as a team totaling in 26, with 4 players having at least 5. The Poland lead was 40-15 in the 4th quarter before a majority of the varsity starters subbed out. Struthers made a fierce rally to close the gap, but Poland still came away with the 50-40 win.

Jackie Grisdale led the Bulldog charge with 14 points. Kailyn Brown had a strong night with 8 points and 6 rebounds.

Emma Elia finished with a game high 19 for Struthers.

Poland returns to action Monday as they host South Range.
