MASSUCCI AND HER TIGERS TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS

/in /by

HOWLAND CENTER, OH – The Howland Tigers got the right rhythm into play in their final regular season contest against Lakeview. They needed to show the community what kind of team they would become. The Tigers would jump out to a big lead and never looked back as they downed the Bulldogs at home 62-32.

 

The Bulldogs kept it competitive in the first quarter, with the bulk of the load coming from senior Maggie Pavlansky. She picked up all of Lakeview’s shots from downtown with six three-pointers, as in the first and second half, she picked up three each. Her night finished with her leading the team with 22 of their 32 points.

 

Howland had a deadly shooter of their own in junior Alyssa Massucci. She picked up five 3’s alone in the second half. She would also cash in 21 points in the final two quarters, including 12 points in the third, en route to a game-high 29 points on the night. Massucci’s efforts were good enough to earn her our YSN Live Player of the Game.

 

Howland ends the regular season at 10-12 as they will now prepare for their Sectional Semifinal matchup next Wednesday at home against Notre Dame Cathedral Latin (NDCL). The Tigers will look to defend their sectional title from a year ago with a 7:00 P.M. tip. Lakeview will also end the regular season at 10-12 as they will have a first-round bye in the tournament. Next Saturday on February 18th, they will either travel out to Brookfield or play host to Cardinal Mooney in a Sectional Final. Tip-off is slated for 1:00 P.M.

THE NE8 IS STILL PAINTED BLUE AND PROPERTY OF POLAND

/in /by

POLAND OH- Everyone in the NE8 knew coming in to this season Poland was still the team to beat. No one had ever dethroned the Bulldogs in the 4 years the NE8 existed. Only once did a team even share the top spot with them.  They’ve only lost 3 conference games in 5 years. Yet, there were still expectations that they wouldn’t be what they were.  The Bulldogs had to field all the outside questions about what they graduated last year, and how they would possibly be able to maintain their dominance.  Well they found an answer all season long, and at the end of the road here we sit looking at a Poland team that is still on top.  Their 60-26 win over Lakeview on Monday night clinched an outright title.

Ten different Bulldogs scored on the night. Senior Brooke Rowe ended her last NE8 matchup with a 12 point performance to lead the way.  Katie McDonald was also in double figures with 10 points on the night.  Ava Nicholudis added 8 points to the offense.  Mary Brant and Sarah Forsyth both contributed 7 points.

Maggie Pavlansky had herself a heck of a shooting night. She hit five threes on her way to a game-high 15 points. Izzy Haines chipped in 6 points.

Poland can now squarely look at their tournament tune ups now that the NE8 is wrapped up.  The Bulldogs host round 2 of the Battle of 224 on Thursday against Canfield.  Lakeview will continue their schedule on Thursday as well as they travel to Howland.

 

RAIDERS BREATHE EASY

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- South Range had been cutting it close over the last few weeks.  It seems like every game came down to last second heroics.  On Tuesday however while hosting Lakeview it was done third quarter heroics that let the Raiders pull away from the Bulldogs and breathe east down the stretch. The Raiders outscored Lakeview 14-7 in the third frame to take an 11 point 35-24 lead into the 4th. They’d go on to win 51-33.

Luke Rohan continued his scoring streak with 18 points to lead the Raiders.  Ayden Leon put in a lot of work in the paint and finished with 15 points.  Landon Moore was also in double figures with 12.

Lakeview was led on the night by Ryan Gee with 12 points.  They also got a good contribution from Tyler Capon who got into double figures with 10.

South Range will celebrate senior night on Friday as they host Poland in another NE8 clash.  Lakeview will try and bounce back on Friday as they host Struthers.

SAUERWEIN SETS THE TONE FOR SOUTH RANGE

/in /by

CANFIELD OH- In a game where the offensive start was slow, it was South Range point guard Devin Sauerwein that set the tone and scored the first 4 points of the game for the Raiders on steals, and transition layups.  The offense relaxed after that slow start in a 43-30 win.  The Raiders used a balanced offense to get the job done.  4 players scored at least 8 points for the Raiders.  The Raiders defense was lock down as usual. They held Lakeview to 4 points in the third quarter to firmly take control of the game.

Sauerwein led the way for South Range finishing the night in double figures with 10 points.  Emma Cunningham was right behind her scoring 9 points on the night. Maddie Dado and Taylor McClish both were able to contribute 8 points.

Lakeview was led by Izzy Haines finishing with 8 points on the night. Next on the stat book for the Bulldogs were both Maggie Pavlansky and Brooke Schneider both finishing with 6.

South Range will stay in league play on Thursday as they’ll host Girard. Lakeview will try and bounce back as they host Jefferson.

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 –

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). The Bulldogs and Raiders matched up back on December 22nd, in a game that saw South Range leave Cortland with a 39-34 win. The game will take place on Monday, January 26th at 7 o’clock.

WILDCATS KEEP THEIR CLAWS ON THE TOP SPOT

/in /by

CORTLAND OH- Everyone in the NE8 knows how hard it is to play in Lakeview. The small gym can get awfully hot and provide a massive home court advantage for the Bulldogs.  The brand of defense Lakeview plays makes it even harder. Struthers learned that the hard way on Monday night as they had to use every ounce of energy to hold of the Bulldogs 42-32.

Adrionna Rudzik led the way for Struthers busting in to double figures with 14 points. Chloe Neider scored some key points down the stretch and finished with 8.  The ever reliable Faith Stellato also dropped 8 points.

LAKEVIEW RIDES THE COMEBACK TRAIL

/in /by

NILES OH- The NE8 started their conference play last night and both the Lady Niles McKinley Red Dragons and the Lady Lakeview Bulldogs looked to go back to.500 and to go over .500 and gain momentum before the Christmas break.  The game started out one way in favor of the Red Dragons, but in the end, it was the Bulldogs with a second half run getting the 37 to 29 victory at the Veterans Memorial Gymnasium.  

 

On coach Kevin Haynie’s team, it was Maggie Pavlansky leading the pack with nine points.  That was followed up by seven in the paint with Isabella Isenberg, six by Makenna Werner, five by Kalyssa Werner, four for Brook Schneider, three by Izzy Haines, two by Annabelle Humphrey and a free throw by Mackenzie Stowe.  On Niles’ side, two of their star players fouled out late.  Katie Heinselman fouled out in the late third and so would Abbey Reed who scored 10 points.  Alaina Thigpen scored nine points, both Kennedy Barrell and Brooke Money scored with a three point shot behind the arc, and four points by Gianna Wagner who played good defense, swatting an attempted layup early on.  

 

After the game, Ian O’Brien caught up with coach Haynie and player of the game Maggie Pavlansky after the big victory and will take a trip on Monday to play against the Lady Indians of Girard.  Niles meanwhile will host the Lady Bulldogs of Poland.
