The Road to Playoffs

By: Sydney Guyer

Saturday February 16th, the Lady Blue Streaks Varsity team sought to kick off the first round of the OHSAA State Tournament. The #7 seeded Blue Streaks took on the # seeded Riverside Beavers for their third time this season.

The two teams faced off last month at home with the Blue Streaks dominating the entire game and claiming their win with a score of 53-47. The Blue Streaks just recently played against the Beavers last week at Riverside in an intense, nail-biting, double-overtime 47-46 victory. The Blue Streaks had the home advantage against the Beavers and were looking to bring the same fire to the court to be able to bring home another win.

Senior Brannigan Cramb was looking forward to playing in her last high school basketball tournament games and was hoping that the team will advance to the next round. She believed that it was going to be "An aggressive and intense game," and thought that if they work well with each other, they would win.

Senior Zara Fedele knows from her years on the team that the playoff games are the most important part of the season. She said that the team "needs to come out strong on offense and play some great and hard defense to pull out a victory."  

The Blue Streaks have not had a great run with tournament game wins the past couple of years, but they were hoping to break that losing streak and advance farther in the tournament.
