The freshmen girls started out
against their across the river rivals in a man to
man defense against Maumee’s full court pressure
falling back into a 2-3 zone. Perrysburg got the tip
and Whitacre hit a jump shot from a Dunphy assist to
start out the first offensive possession. From there
we had a lapse till Smith hit a turnaround jumper at
the 3 minute mark. At the 2 minute mark Scheckelhoff
stole the ball out front and was fouled on the layup
making 1of 2. Maumee returned with a couple of foul
shots from a Perrysburg foul and then with 40
seconds left Buehler hit a jumper from a Dunphy
assist to bring us to the end of the quarter up 7-2.
The Jackets started the second quarter in a man to
man defense picking up there girl at half court
against Maumee’s full court pressure falling back
into a 2-3. Perrysburg had a good first possession
running the play and taking the time needed for the
play to materialize but fell short of scoring.
Maumee turned around and did the same thing and also
fell short. At the 5 minute mark Scheckelhoff was
fouled and missed both. At the 4 minute mark Buehler
was fouled and missed both. At this stage both teams
stepped up the pressure defense causing for some
ugly offensive possessions. With 2 min on the clock
Poll hit a jumper, Maumee hurried the transition and
caught Perrysburg off guard to get an easy jump shot
that forced Perrysburg to foul, which Maumee made 1
out of 2. The next time down court Maumee in the
full court defense left Whitacre open for a layup in
turn they had to foul and Molly made both. This left
about 1 minute left on the clock and Maumee set up
their offense ran their play took the shot made it
and was fouled missing the free throw. Perrysburg’s
line error with 25 seconds on the clock allowed
Maumee to inbound under their basket which they ran
flawlessly for an easy 2. Perrysburg had one last
chance when Whitacre was fouled but came up empty on
the free throws. This lead to a half score of
Perrysburg 11 Maumee 7.
Maumee had a group of approximately 25+ boys taking
up a better portion of the front row of the home
cheering section. They let it be known that they
were cheering for their Maumee girls and spared
nothing to heckle our girls when they had a chance
(for the most part professionally). This seemed to
distract our girls at times but was good experience
for what lies ahead of this talented group of girls.
The Jackets started the third quarter in a man to
man full court defense against Maumee’s 1-3-1 half
court trap falling back into a 2-3. Maumee’s first
possession they scored 1 out of 2 foul shots. Then
Bueler hit for 2 and was fouled missing the pt
after. Next Maumee came down hit a turnaround jumper
to make the score 13-10. The next couple of time
down the court Bueler was fouled and struggled
making the free throws. At the 2 min mark Whitacre
hit for 2 and Maumee answered with 2 and forced a
Perrysburg turnover and hit for another 2 bringing
the score to 17-15. With 5 seconds left Perrysburg
had the ball Whitacre got the rebound dribbled out
front passed to an open Buehler for an easy 2 to end
the quarter up 19-15.
To start the 4th quarter Maumee scored to make it
19-17. After this Perrysburg defense stepped up and
forced numerous turnovers and with Maumee’s
frustration they committed numerous fouls.
Unfortunately in the next 3 minutes Perrysburg could
only convert on 2 of 8 foul shots. At the 3 minute
mark Smith hit a turnaround jumper and the next time
down court she hit Perry for a turnaround jumper
then with 1:45 left on the clock Smith was fouled
and made both. Maumee made one last run and made 4
of their 6 foul shots in the next minute to bring
the score to 27-21, but that was all Maumee could
muster as Whitarce hit 2 free throws with a few
seconds left to end the game Perrysburg 29 Maumee
21.
