in the contest. A more impressive statistic, though, is the 41% of their three-point
shots on which they connected, going 5
for 12 as a unit from behind the arc. Of
course, after those numbers would have
been higher if, after shooting between 40%
and 50% on field goals in the first three
quarters, their shooting percentage hadn't
dropped to a meager 25%.
Antwerp shot over 50% in both of their
18 point quarters. They were unable to
shoot better than 40% in the other two periods.
The most successful shooter for the
Blackbirds was Tate Kauffman. With 20
points, Kauffman produced more than half
of Pettisville's points against the Archer
defense. Going 4 for 7 from the three-point
line, the Blackbird senior made 63% of his
overall shots. He also put 2 of his 3 free
throw attempts through the bottom of the
net.
Free throws were an issue for the Blackbirds, though. With a 60% success rate,
one would think they simply missed too
many shots from the charity stripe. However, the real problem is that they only had
10 attempts from the line. Pettisville would
have been in much better shape, had they
found ways to earn more trips to the free
throw line. Such a lack of attempts is typically a symptom of teams settling for too
many jump shots, instead of being more
aggressive with the basketball.
Pettisville was good enough to beat Antwerp on the Archers' home court. Inconsistent play on the defensive end insured
they'd have an uphill battle to do so, however. It also didn't help that Kauffman
served as the only true scoring threat for
the Blackbirds in the game. In the fourth
quarter, when Pettisville only managed to
score 6 points, the senior missed his only
shot in the period. More players will need
to step up for Coach Nofziger's squad if
they plan on winning a lot of games this
year.
And they'll have to do so consistently.

The Hometown Huddle - Edon, Montpelier, North Central, Hilltop, Stryker, Fayette, Pettisville & Wauseon Sports Action - 3
In the third period, the young Montpelier squad expanded their lead by outscoring their counterparts from Edon 9-1. A
tight fourth quarter made no difference on
the game's end result, as Montpelier took
the victory.

The Hometown Huddle - Edon, Montpelier, North Central, Hilltop, Stryker, Fayette, Pettisville & Wauseon Sports Action - 5
sinking only 9 of their 21 attempts. Getting there clearly wasn't an issue for the
North Central girls, but they failed to make
the most of the extra points. Of course, the
fact that Hamilton was simply abysmal
from the charity stripe nullified this flaw
entirely. The Lady Marines shot just 27%
from the free throw line, connecting on 5
of 18 shots.
Turnovers were another problem faced
by the Lady Eagles. The home team committed 20 of the critical errors, which cost
them several possessions. Again, though,
their guests from Hamilton canceled out
the adverse effects of these mistakes, turning the ball over 27 times themselves.
And it was that defensive performance
that carried North Central to such a convincing victory. They limited the Marines
to 2 points in each of the first two quarters,
enjoying a 16-4 lead at the half. Hamilton
was able to more than double that first half
production in the third quarter, as they
were allowed 5 points. With momentum
on their side, the Lady Marines scored 10

in each of the last two quarters of play.
As dominant as this win was by North
Central, one has to wonder just how much
more impressive it would have been had
the Lady Eagles taken care of the basketball and made their free throws. These are
things they are going to need to improve
upon going forward if they are to meet with
a high level of success in Buckeye Border
Conference play.
GET OFF OF ME! ... Natalie Koenig fends off the Bryan player trying to disrupt her shot
as she keeps her focus on the basket.
FROM THREE POINT LAND ... Cady VanDeVoorde (3) shoots a three point shot over the
heads of two Lady Marines. VanDeVoorde made four threes in the game.
NAVIGATING THROUGH TRAFFIC ... Lady Eagle senior Rachel Oxender, amid several
Hamilton girls, prepares to carefully place a bounce pass to a teammate waiting in the
paint.
AND ITS UP ... Yackee (15) releases the ball, watching it sail toward the net while a
Bryan player looks on helpless to stop the shot.

The Hometown Huddle - Edon, Montpelier, North Central, Hilltop, Stryker, Fayette, Pettisville & Wauseon Sports Action - 7
the latter pulling down 9 rebounds. Michaela Bates, a junior for Fayette, claimed
8 points and 8 rebounds as well. Overall,
the Eagles had eight players register 5
points or more against the Lady Bombers.
A decent amount of those points came
from the free throw line. Shooting 69%
from the line, the Lady Eagles were able to
make 18 of their 26 attempts. Edon also
had a decent night from the charity stripe.
The Lady Bombers shot 67% on their extra
points, hitting on 16 of 24 attempts.
Neither side was particularly careless
with the ball. Committing 18 turnovers,
Edon could have done a better job in this
area, but that isn't what lost them the
game. Bates had a hand in a good many of
those turnovers, stealing the ball 5 times
from the Bombers. Her team limited their
turnovers to 12.
Depth is what decided this game. Edon
played seven girls in the contest while,
again, Fayette had eight players score 5 or
more points. Not only that, but the Lady
Bombers are still relying too heavily on
the trio of Kiess, Sonneberger, and Chrisman, though teammates Hannah Kaylor
and Shaylee Manahan, both sophomores,
showed they had the potential to do more,
scoring 5 points each.
Fayette is widely considered the favorite to win the Buckeye Border Conference
this season. If they continue to play as balanced as they did against Edon, then it's
hard to go against that prediction.
A NICE, RELAXING DRIVE ... Alex Kiess (22), an Edon senior, blows by Fayettes Hannah Machacek (15) as she looks to score.
ITS GOOD! ... Lady Loco Maddie Richmond (5) connects on one of her four successful
three point shots.
FLOATER ... Hannah Blake lets the ball glide out of her hand, over three Edgerton defenders turned spectators, and into the basket for two points.
JUKED YA ... Kaitlyn Sonneberger (20) uses a crossover to get past Lady Eagle Jessie
Wheeler , and make a break for the open lane.
MORE THAN JUST A SHOOTER ... Richmond drives toward the basket, putting pressure on the Lady Bulldog guarding her. The Locomotive junior earned several trips to
the free throw line with this aggressive mentality.
BATTLE FOR THE BALL ... Katelyn Bates secures the ball tightly as Edon senior Kaitlin
Chrisman attempts to jar it loose from her grasp.

to a hopefully open teammate.
