GARFIELD MAKES ADJUSTMENTS AGAINST CHAMPION

WARREN OH- The first time Garfield and Champion met this season, the G-Men had to dodge a mighty upset bid.  Champion scored 19 points in the third and pushed Garfield to the edge, even though they won the game, the Flashes made them sweat it out.  On Monday when the two teams met again in Champion, Garfield would not let the team in purple gain momentum. They hit cruise control on their way to a 53-38 win.

Mandy Cardinal was the pace setter for Garfield with 15 points on the night. She wasn’t the only one that got in to double figures as Laura McCoy and Madeline Shirkey both scored 12.  Zoey May added 6 points to the Garfield offense.

Bella Meyer put together a great night as always for Champion. She finished with a game-high 17 points for the Flashes.  Kayla Haynie worked her way to 8 points while Addie Warzala finished with 7.

Garfield is still tied in first place at the top of the MVAC, and they’ll try to keep that up on Thursday as they host Liberty.  Champion will try to put it together on Thursday as they host Campbell.

THE MIGHTY MCCOY

/in /by

GARRETTSVILLE OH- From the outside this season looked like a rebuild in Garfield. Little did people know what head coach Aaron Gilbert had in mind. Senior Laura McCoy joins a cast of players that has made the Lady G-Men a major force to be reckoned with.  They stormed through the first half of the season going 11-0 before their first loss of the season.  They have a hold of the top spot in the MVAC.  Things are looking bright for Garfield as we speed towards the tournament.

McCoy has been a staple for the G-Men offense. She averages over 16 points per game on the season.  She’s also been known to go off for huge nights. She has a season high of 32 in a game.  McCoy also reached a career milestone this year hitting that 1000 point mark that every player dreams of.  However, McCoy is more than just a scorer.  She distributes the ball very well, which helps keep Garfield’s offense so balanced.  McCoy averages over 3 assists per game.  She also isn’t afraid to get in the paint and rebound.  Laura averages over 5 boards per contest.  All the numbers are just tangible proof of what an impact she has made on the team. There are plenty of intangibles that shine through as well.  You could call her coach Gilbert’s ace in the hole.

Laura took the time to chat with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig about her career. She talks about how welcomed she’s been at Garfield, what makes it such a special place, and so much more. Check out the latest Garfield Girls Basketball Player Profile only on YSN.

/in /by

LEAVITTSBURG OH- It was a special night for Garfield as one of their captains and leaders came in to Thursday night needing 7 points to grab 1,000 in her career. Laura McCoy had a lot on her mind in the flow of the game.  The Vikings knew very well what the moment was, and tried everything in their power to not be the team that gave up a milestone moment. In the end McCoy needed 7, and got 7 as the G-Men rolled their way to a 68-30 win.

Garfield was led by Madeline Shirkey who scored 15 points while the Vikings defense put attention on McCoy. Mandy Cardinal also prospered from the extra space getting in to double figures with 13.  That wasn’t it for the G-Men scoring either, Nora Trent punched in to double figures scoring 12.  Maggie Fogel added 6 points to the cause.

BROOKFIELD EARNS A PIECE OF THE FIRST PLACE SPOT

/in /by

BROOKFIELD OH- A lot was on the line for both teams on Monday night as Brookfield welcomed in Garfield in a MVAC showdown.  The Lady G-Men came in to the game undefeated overall, and in the conference. The Warriors were right behind them in the standings with just one loss inside the league.  A win for Brookfield would make it a four team log jam at the top with 1 loss.

A competitive first frame saw the Warriors hold a two point lead. The most important factor though in the first frame was that Brookfield was able to get Garfield leading scorer Laura McCoy in foul trouble.  She picked up her third personal before the end of the first. Garfield coach Aaron Gilbert had no choice to survive the second quarter with her on the bench. As expected Garfield struggled offensively in the frame. They were outscored 16-9 by the Warriors leading to a 30-21 deficit at the break. McCoy’s return in the third definitely provided a spark to Garfield as they crept closer and closer. However, the Warriors were too good to let them take control of the game. Some big free throws down the line extended the Warriors lead down the stretch and let them come away with a 53-44 win.

Sophia Hook led the Warriors with a mighty performance scoring 23 points and being the only Warrior in double figures. Cailey Wellman still had a good showing with 9 points and 14 rebounds.  Katie Logan added 5 points, and 6 assists.  Hook added 5 steals to her total on defense.

Garfield was led by a gritty game from Madeline Shirkey with 15 points.  McCoy was able to finiss with 11 points for the G-Men.  Mandy Cardinal was right behind them with 9 points.

Brookfield stays at home on Thursday as they host Campbell and Garfield stays on the road traveling to LaBrae on Thursday.
