CARDINALS FLY HIGH IN HUBBARD

/in /by

HUBBARD, Ohio –

Ashton O’Brien drops twenty-six points to pace the Cardinal Mooney Cardinals (12-10) in their 62-36 road win over the Hubbard Eagles (4-18).

Last night’s non-conference matchup between the NE8’s Hubbard Eagles and the SVC’s Cardinal Mooney might as well have been two games within one. The first half saw both teams trading blows with multiple ties and lead changes in the half. The two teams were knotted at nine after the first period, and Mooney led by just two heading into the break.

Coming out of the half, Mooney ramped up the pressure defensively and made the Hubbard offense look completely inept. Mooney would continuously force the Eagles to turn it over and allow the Cardinals to easy looks at the other end.While Hubbard kept pace with their own offensive output, scoring eight in the third, Mooney’s seventeen points in the period blew the game wide open.

Leading by twelve to start the fourth, Mooney would force turnovers on the first three Hubbard possessions in the last before the Eagles were even able to cross mid court. The defensive pressure would once again lead Mooney to a dominating quarter, winning the fourth 23-9 and the ballgame 62-36.

TOP PERFORMERS –

HUBBARD:

Nik Hendrix – 11 points

Gavin Rybicki – 8 points

CARDINAL MOONEY:

Ashton O’Brien – 26 points

Nick Pregibon – 9 points

WHAT’S NEXT –

Hubbard: Stumbling into the postseason off four straight double-digit losses, the #26 seeded Hubbard Eagles will faceoff with the #2 seeded Canfield Cardinals (17-5). The Cardinals come in with a three-game winning streak to end the regular season and 10 straight victories over Hubbard in the series matchup.

Cardinal Mooney: Snapping their four-game skidwith a dominating win, #5 Mooney will look to build upon their momentum in a first round matchup against the #27 seeded Lakeview Bulldogs (3-19). Lakeview was able to snap a losing streak and end regular season play with a win of their own against McDonald on Tuesday.

RAIDERS BACK IN THE PICTURE

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- The NE8 has been wild this season, and with every team in the conference so close together it makes every night important.  South Range came in to Tuesday night just 1 game back of first place in the NE8. They trailed both Jefferson and Girard. Because of that, it became supremely important for the Raiders to win league games to stay on pace.  They welcomed in Hubbard looking to do just that. After a close 10-10 first quarter, the Raiders took control of the game and never really let go.  After the Raiders got their lead up to 17, the closest Hubbard could get was 9. The Raiders won by a final score of 50-40.  Little did they know that while they were winning their game, Poland was busy knocking off Girard. This puts the Raiders right back in the picture of the NE8.  They will play Jefferson next Tuesday and if the Raiders win, they could tie the Falcons for first place.

Leading the way for the Raiders on this night was Landon Moore who matched his jersey number with 15 points.  Luke Rohan was also in double figures for the Raiders scoring 13 points.  Dylan Turvey added 9 points, while Ayden Leon celebrated his senior night with 8.

 

The Eagles tried hard to come back, and that effort was led by a great push from off the bench from Kenyen Franklin. He finished the night with 11 points, he tied the team lead with Javon Greene who also put in 11.  Gavin Rybicki was able to add 7 points as well.

The Raiders finish up their regular season Tuesday at Jefferson with a spot in first place on the line.  Hubbard will stay on the road Friday with a non conference match up with Salem.

BULLDOGS CLINCH A SHARE OF THE TITLE

/in /by

HUBBARD OH- Poland put themselves in position to at least share the NE8 championship on Thursday as they traveled to Hubbard. It was an absolute barrage of defense from Poland as they only allowed 1 point in the first half.  The Bulldogs didn’t need a massive offensive output this night as they got away with a 36-21 win.  The victory earned Poland a piece of the conference championship.

The offense was led by Brooke Rowe who rallied a total of 8 points.  Elliana Thompson contributed 6 points to the cause.  Ariana Daniels and Mary Brant both chipped in 5 pints.  Hubbard was led by Eleni Grillis with 6 points.

Poland can go for the outright NE8 championship on Monday as they host Lakeview on senior night.  Hubbard will make the trip to Jefferson on Monday.

 

LAKEVIEW FURIOUS IN THE FOURTH

/in /by

HUBBARD, Ohio –

Led by seven Maggie Pavlanksy points, the Lakeview Bulldogs erased a fourteen point Hubbard lead in the final quarter to escape The Nest with a win.

The Hubbard Lady Eagles (3-14) had dominated most of the ball game, lighting in up from beyond the arc and stifling the Lakeview offense. However, the fourth quarter seemed as if there were two completely different teams on the floor.

Lakeview’s offense had only mustered eleven points through the first three quarters of play and trailing by fourteen, they would have to score more than double their previous output just to draw the game even.

The Bulldogs would ramp up the pressure defensively forcing turnover after turnover in the fourth turning the stolen possessions into five points off giveaways while holding Hubbard to just two points in the final quarter. An outstanding 14-0 would see the game drawn even before two Eagle free throws would give Hubbard the lead once again. Lakeview still had some left in the tank, finishing the game on another 4-0 run to complete the comeback and grab the win 29-27.

 

TOP PERFORMERS –

HUBBARD:

Sophie Murphy – 9 points

Mary Frangos – 7 points, 4/4 FTs

Livia Reese – 6 points, 2 made threes

LAKEVIEW:

Maggie Pavlansky – 15 points, 3 made threes

Mackenzie Stowe – 5 points

WHAT’S NEXT –

Hubbard: Now losers of their last four matchupsthe Lady Eagles will look to get back on track with another NE8 conference foe in the likes of the Niles Red Dragons (3-13). These two schools last met on December 22nd, a matchup that went the way of the Eagles 51-21. Hubbard will host Niles Monday, January 26th at 7:00 pm.

 

Lakeview: Collecting their fourth road and ninth overall win of the season, the Bulldogs are back to .500 and will look to break above even for the fifth time this season when they travel to take on the South Range Raiders (8-8).

RAIDERS WIN STREAK CONTINUES

/in /by

HUBBARD, Ohio –

South Range (5-6) has four Raiders post double digits for their third straight conference road victory.

Winless on the season, the Hubbard Eagles (0-12) road the back of Gavin Rybicki’s strong first three minutes to take an early 7-2 lead. South Range’s Landon Moore would respond with a strong finish to the period, finishing with all seven of the South Range points to close the gap to just three at the end of one.

Moore would add four points to his total in the second quarter and would receive assistance from Luke Rohan and Ayden Leon, each adding in three points, sending the game into a tie of 17 all at the break.

Coming out of the break, the South Range Raiders would turn great defense into easy offense. Five different Raiders would score three or more points in the third quarter that saw South Range post 22.

Trailing by nine to start the fourth quarter, Hubbard went on multiple runs to draw the game within two possessions, but could never string together stops with scores to take back the lead. South Range would escape with the victory, 53-49.
