LADY BULLDOGS PREVAIL IN OVERTIME

/in /by

EAST PALESTINE, OH- It wasn’t quite a playoff game in the Dog Pound last night.

But boy, did it feel like it.

In a game that neither Springfield nor East Palestine wanted to let slip through their fingers, it was an incredible showing of togetherness and tenacity from “The Fab 5” dressed in white that stole the show on their way to a 61-59 victory over Springfield in overtime.

Outstanding and timely defense from junior Payton Sherry and Kenzee Johnston set up opportunities for the offense on the other side of the floor.  Sherry was able to cash in on a perfect play call on an in-bound pass to set up overtime.  Then, in the extra session, it was Joclyn Fristik who came up with the shot of the night from beyond the arc down by 1- leaving 6 seconds on a running clock to which Springfield couldn’t respond.

Fristik led the way in points for both sides with 26, along with a side of 3 steals.  Payton Sherry had 10 points, 7 boards, 6 assists and 2 vital charges taken that swung the momentum back to the Brown and White.  Contributions were spread evenly offensively as Morgan Rutledge and Paige Snyder tacked on 8, while Kenzee Johnston tallied 7.

Abby Joseph led the way for the Lady Tigers with 16, while Kylee Kosek chipped in 15.

EP will now ramp up for EOAC leader and rival, Columbiana on Monday.

REBELS UNWRAP A VICTORY OVER SPRINGFIELD

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- Nothing gets you in the Christmas spirit quite like a dominating win. Crestview enjoyed a 63-36 win over Springfield on Monday night.

Crestview shot the lights out of the gym as the whole team shot well from three. The Rebels had five different players hit a three-pointer. They shot 50% from beyond the arc (7/14). The Tigers had no answer for the strong shooting performance. With Tanner Hoffer in foul trouble early, Krista Perry has a dominant first half with 19 points at the break. The Rebel defense came close to holding the Tigers to their lowest total of the season as Springfield tacked on a couple of buckets late to avoid that stat.

Krista Perry led the Rebels with career-high 24 points and 10 rebounds. Shianna Mathis and Tanner Hoffer both finished in double figures with 10.

The Rebels return to action Saturday as they travel to Lowellville.

TIGERS TROUNCE CLIPPERS

/in /by

New Middletown, OH- The Columbiana Clippers came into their matchup with Springfield brimming with confidence and intent on avenging two straight blowout losses to the Tigers. It was made clear very early that that was not going to happen. After forcing a three and out on
the Clippers first possession, the Tigers quickly found the end zone on a Beau Brungard to Garrett Walker 21-yard strike. Dominating the line of scrimmage, the Tigers methodically pulled away for a 35-0 victory.

The Clippers struggled to stop the Tiger running game led by Austin Tindell. Tindell was the workhorse though the rushing touchdowns came from Brungard, David Duvall, and Chris Shoemaker. Brungard also returned an interception for a touchdown right before the half
leaving little doubt about the outcome going into the break.

Any offense the Clippers could muster was thwarted by turnovers as the Clippers could not sustain a drive, never crossing the Springfield 30 yard line.

Springfield (3-0) travels to Lowellville next week while Columbiana (1-2) hosts Southern Local to kickoff the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference schedule. You can catch the Clippers and Indians on YSNLive.com
