The freshman girls playing back to
back games for the first time are looking to redeem
themselves from the harsh loss from Central Catholic
yesterday.
The Jackets started out in a full court man to man
defense against Clays 1-2-1-1 full court press
falling back into a man to man defense. Perrysburg
got the tip the girls set up the offense ran it well
for a score by Smith. Clay turned around to an
unsuccessful offensive try just to have Perrysburg
come down court and have Dunphy hit a 3. Now with
3:00 left in the quarter Clay finally got their
first 2 points but Poll responded with a 2 pointer
at the other end. Clay got the ball down court to
another unsuccessful offensive try and Perrysburg
answered with a well run offensive possession which
set up Buehler for 2 with 10 seconds on the clock
and the end of the quarter with Perrysburg up 9-2.
The second quarter started with the Jackets in a
full court press falling back into a 2-3 zone
against the Clay's 1-2-1-1 full court press and man
to man defense. Clay started the quarter with a very
patient offensive possession but leading to a
turnover, then Perrysburg broke the press for
Whitacre to score with 4:30 on the clock. As both
teams exchange possessions they also rotated in some
fresh legs. With 47 seconds left Clay was fouled and
made 1 of 2 Perrysburg had a turnover and Clay was
fouled again but missed both to end the half
