*** Freshman Game Summary ***
Perrysburg 25, Notre Dame 18 - 1/23/2010 By: Dean Scheckelhoff
The freshmen girls traveled to meet
the Norte Dame Eagles for the first time this year
and anxiously waited to see what the parochial
school is going to throw at them. Both teams started
out in a full court press with Perrysburg in a man
to man defense and the Eagles in a 2-3 zone. The
Eagles missed the first position as the Jackets
responded with a very patient offensive position
that led to a score. After that things got motivated
with both teams applying solid defensive pressure
but the Jackets prevailed with a quarter ending
score Perrysburg 13 Norte Dame 6.
The second quarter was much of the same fast paced
tempo with Lindsay hitting for 2 underneath the
bucket and Chloe making 1of 2 foul shots with 3:30
on the clock. The Eagles responded with 2 and then
at the 1:26 mark Shelby hit 1 of 2 foul shots to end
the half Perrysburg 17 Norte Dame 8.
The third quarter Perrysburg stayed with full court
pressure but fell into a 2-3 zone with Norte Dame
using a 1-3-1 zone and half court pressure. The
Eagles scored first and Chloe responded with 2. The
Eagles have a couple of quick girls that have good
moves to the bucket but Perrysburg’s pressure
distracted them enough to lead to missed shots and
the Jackets rebounding lead by Lindsay made sure
that they only got one shot. At the 3:26 mark Maddy
made both foul shots and then the next time down
court she hit a jumper. With 1:37 left on the clock
the Eagles hit the front end of a foul shot missed
the second but got the rebound and put it in for 2
and that was the last score of the quarter with
Perrysburg up 23-13.
Norte Dame started the fourth quarter with a 3 which
gave them some momentum so Perrysburg called a time
out. After the time out Perrysburg stayed in their
full court pressure and man to man defense as Eagles
came out with full court pressure and man to man
defense. The pressure from both teams lead to some
missed shot and turnovers from both teams. Finally
with 2:15 on the clock the Eagles scored and then on
the other end Chloe was fouled on a back door cut
making 1 of 2. After that both teams had some missed
opportunities with Norte Dame missing 2 foul shots
with 17 seconds on the clock and ending the game
Perrysburg 25 Norte Dame 18.
