MASSILLON OH- Howland came into Tuesday’s district semifinal with all the confidence in the world. They got to this game by beating league rival Canfield for the second time of the season. Standing in their way of a trip to the district championship was the Polar Bears of Massillon Jackson. Two big Polar Bear runs weee the difference as Jackson knocked out the Tigers with a 64-30 win.

The first Polar Bear run came in the first quarter, and leaked into the second. After the game started back and forth, the Polar Bears turned a 7-6 lead into a 19-6 one in the blink of an eye. The Tigers responded by winning the second quarter overall 13-10 and taking a 29-19 deficit into the locker room.

The Tigers came out of the locker room and scored quick to make it a 29-21 game. That however would be their only points from the floor in the frame as the Polar Bears won the third 30-3 and pretty much put the game away.

Senior Taylor Lawrence led the Tigers getting in double figures with 11. Alyssa Massucci finished with 7.

The Tigers finish the season 18-7 and AAC champions. We at YSN want to congratulate the Tigers on an incredible season! Thank you for bringing us on the ride!
