(Basketball)Alexander Spartans tame the Waterford Wildcats 49-44


 

Albany, Ohio The home team, the Alexander Spartans, came in with a 1-7 record, while their counterpart in this one, the Waterford Wildcats, was 3-4. Waterford had just three seniors on their roster, while the Spartans had six, with just two of them being in the starting lineup.


Alexander took a 13-12 lead after one quarter, with both teams playing hard with a lot of contact, allowed by the stripes. The Spartans maintained their lead 25-22 as the half ended. Neither team seems to be getting into any real type of flow as the defenses and some untimely turnovers seem to control the half.

The Wildcats would have a solid second half but not solid enough to overcome the Spartans as they fall 49-44. The Spartans were able to do just enough to post the win, holding off a fierce late-game comeback.

The Spartans had three players score in double figures, with Jace Cooper leading the way with 17. Scoring ten apiece were Mason Morris and Isaac Waller. For the Wildcats, Finn Pennock had 17 points, three three-pointers.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line t...

It’s an honor playing for Coach Pendleton; he knows what it takes to be successful and play at the next level. A coach demands excellence and accepts nothing less. What makes Coach different from other coaches is that he teaches us toughness, and that’s what separates Ironton from other teams. Coach has surrounded us with some of the best staff in Ohio.
