BELOIT OH- The West Branch girls were able to complete one of the greatest comebacks you will see this season! The Warriors came back from a 24 point second half deficit to win the game 53-52 over Howland! This was West Branch\u2019s largest comeback this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Howland started off strong building a 15-7 lead after the first quarter. The Tigers outscored the Warriors in the second quarter to gain a 15 point halftime lead. For the most part, Howland was able to hold Sophia Gregory to limited scoring, hurting the West Branch offense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Howland came out of the half scorching hot building a 41-17 lead. That\u2019s when coach Deshields called a timeout and told his girls to keep battling. The Warriors were up to the task with a gritty effort defensively and clawed their way back for a big time win.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For Howland, Alyssa Massucci led the way with 20 points as she knocked down four three pointers. Gio Hoso contributed 9 points for the Tigers. Hose also was a big contributor defensively.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

West Branch was led by Hannah Egli who had 18 points and knocked in five three pointers. Sophia Gregory had 17 points and Cami Cambell had a big game with 10 points.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the loss, Howland drops to 9-10 on the season. West Branch improves to 8-10 with the win and will prepare for a big EBC showdown at home against Salem on Wednesday at 7 pm.<\/p>\n
