Daily Tournament Fix — Feb. 24
Here’s your daily tournament fix for Tuesday, Feb. 24:
Tonight’s games: Girls D-IV — Yellow Springs vs. Ansonia, 6 p.m. at Brookville High School. Boys D-I — Tecumseh vs. Northmont, 7 p.m. at UD Arena; Boys D-IV — Catholic Central vs. Franklin Monroe, 6 p.m.and Cedarville vs. Jefferson, 7:30 p.m at the Vandalia Butler Student Activities Center, 7:30 p.m.
Short Takes: The Yellow Springs girls squad started the year 3-8 before winning six of their last eight games. … Tecumseh fell to Northmont 60-44 earlier this season. … It’s been an odd season at Catholic Central. The Irish started 0-8, then ran off five wins in six games. But since then, they’ve lost six in a row, including a 49-48 loss at the buzzer to West Liberty-Salem. … Cedarville hadn’t won a game since Dec. 20 against Ridgemont until Friday’s victory over rival Greeneview 64-61. They face the top-seed and D-IV ninth-ranked Jefferson tonight. … There are just four girls teams still playing in the Springfield area: Yellow Springs, Southeastern, Kenton Ridge and Graham.
Masked Marauders: “We’ve got two kids (Michael Butler and David Pritchett) with broken noses and both are wearing face masks,” Jefferson coach Art Winston said told the Metro Buckeye Conference web site after the tourney draw. “I’m excited to start. It’s about keeping focus because we haven’t won our league yet. Once we finish that up, we can start preparing for the tournament.”
Last night: Graham upset 15-5 Indian Lake to advance to a D-II sectional final at VB at 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Game was moved up from 7:30 p.m. to allow fans time to travel from the boys game at Troy on Friday to get to the girls game.
Chelsea Black had 12 points for the Falcons and Graham coach Christie Dodane said Black caused problems for the Lakers from the middle of the Falcons’ press.
“She did a good job anticipating at half court and really put on the pressure,” Dodane said. “She stepped up as a senior leader like she should.”
