TIGERS RAISE DISTRICT TROPHY

MINERAL RIDGE OH- Coming in to this season, everyone pointed to Springfield as one of the area’s best chances to get into regionals. The Tigers returned a ton of young talent from a season ago, and still have strong senior leadership. It’s been a long season, with more ups than downs. Going through all of it has gotten the Tigers to this point.

After rolling in their first three games of the bracket, Springfield found themselves in a dogfight for the trophy.  Maplewood gave the Tigers all they wanted. Especially on the defensive side. A 15 point third quarter was enough for the Tigers to hold on during a slow 6 point fourth. Springfield came out on top 36-31 to secure a trip to regionals.

Springfield was led by Jacey Mullen who got in to double figures with 11 points. Madison Lesnak was right behind her scoring 9. Jameka Brungard added 6 points to the night.

The Tigers advance to the regional semifinals. They will be paired with Buckeye Central. That game will take place on Thursday at 6:00 at Massillon Perry High School.

They faced a tough task on Wednesday against Maplewood. In the end, the Rockets were just too much and ended the Jays season with a 51-30 win.

Senior Chelsea Williams finished her career by leading the Blue Jays with 11 points. Fellow senior Kylie Wilson was also in double figures with 10. Ava Darney contributed 9 points as well.

Jackson Milton ends their season with a record of 12-11. We congratulate the Blue Jays on a great season.
