WESTERN RESERVE MAKES CLUTCH PLAYS TO GRAB VICTORY

BERLIN CENTER OH- The MVAC never shies away from putting on a show. Tuesday night was no exception as Western Reserve welcomed in Mineral Ridge for a big conference bout.  Western Reserve would jump out to a big lead early, leading by as much as 10 in the first half. Mineral Ridge however would quickly make a game out of it, and would never go away after that. Fast forward to the final second of the game, with a one point lead 58-57 Western Reserve drew up a great inbound play to get Joe Serensky loose in the back court. He made a layup, got fouled and completed the three point play to seal a 61-57 win.

Srensky led the Blue Devils with an impressive 19 points. Luke Henning was also in double figures for Reserve finishing with 16 points.  Luke Ramsey was able to chip in an important 11.

Mineral Ridge was paced by Jon Rozzi who finished with 18 points.  Tristan Valley also got himself in double figures with 11 points. Trey Rigley contributed 9 points for the Rams.

Western Reserve hits the road on Friday for a non conference matchup with Leetonia.  Mineral Ridge will be off until after Christmas as they return to the court Tuesday December 27 against Niles.
