0

CASSTOWN — Fort Loramie survived a scare from Miami East on Saturday and won a nonconference game 46-43.

The Redskins struggled for the first 28 minutes to get the ball to go into the rim in part due to turnovers and lack of ball movement against Miami East’s zone pressure.

Miami East led 7-2 at the end of the first quarter. Fort Loramie outscored the Vikings in the second quarter 11-8 but still trailed by two points at halftime. Miami East outscored the Redskins 13-5 in the third to take a 28-18 lead.

Fort Loramie trailed by eight to 10 points for much of the fourth quarter. The Redskins were down seven with under 20 seconds left when Taylor Ratermann drained a shot and was fouled. She hit the free throw to put Loramie within four with 12 seconds remaining.

Miami East tried to go long on the inbounds play, but the ball went out-of-bounds. Fort Loramie got it on the baseline as a result and Ava Sholtis grabbed an offensive rebound for a putback to bring the Redskins within 38-36 points.

After an inbound pass to Morgan Haney, Fort Loramie doubled team her. A jump ball was called to give the Redskins one last possession.

With two seconds remaining, the ball was thrown into Dana Rose, and she hit a two-foot shot as the buzzer sounded to send the game to overtime.

Marissa Meiring hit a 3-pointer on the first possession in overtime to put the Redskins up and then hit a basket on the next possession to extend the lead to five points. Fort Loramie went 3 for 6 from the free-throw line to win the game.

Ratermann finished with 10 points, Meiring had eight points and eight rebounds and Sholtis has nine points and seven rebounds. Kenzie Hoelscher led the squad with 10 rebounds.

“I’m proud of the girls for fighting hard today and getting the tough win,” Riverside coach Bryce Hodge said. “Tight games like this are only going to better prepare us for the postseason.

“I’m grateful my team always works hard and gives great effort, that’s the difference on days like today when our shots aren’t falling. We just grind it out and get the job done.”

BOWLING

Sidney boys 5th, girls 13th in Boro RollOff

The squad was fifth out of 22 teams.

“I was happy with our play today,” Sidney coach Trent Knoop said. “We’ve been doing a poor job with our spare shooting, but I thought today was much better overall. We let ourselves be in good position all day (standing wise). We unfortunately didn’t make it to the top four, but I’ll take fifth place. We did a good job.

“Jaxon had a superb tournament. He rolled the ball great and did a good job spare shooting. He earned all-tournament team.”

The girls were 13th out of 20 squads. Camryn Smith had a 485 series, Sarah Bell had a 422 series and Kate Miller had a 384 series.

“Not a bad showing at all,” Knoop said. “We weren’t bowling on a very easy shot, and we only had five girls today. So overall, I thought they did well. We keep getting better and gaining more valuable experience along the way.”
