(Girls) Fairfield Union 47 Lakewood 46



 

Friday night took me back to Hebron, Ohio, to watch the red-hot Lakewood Lancers, winners of four straight battles, against a very good and deep Fairfield Union squad. The Lancers were in control for three quarters, leading 44-30 and looking like they were going to win their fifth straight game, but Fairfield Union Head Coach Keith Barr said in a press conference that the Lancers were never able to break, leading to a 17-2 run and one-point Falcons win when Maycee Martindill made a highly contested shot at the buzzer. The Lancers had double-digit turnover in the fourth quarter alone. Lancers head coach Ian Green did call some timeouts to try and fend off the rally, but whatever adjustments he made never came close to working. The Lancers looked very lost and sluggish in the fourth quarter, which made sense, seeing as I was told the team had been fighting an illness all week.

Maddie Mitchell had 10 points for the Falcons. Maycee Martindill had three threes and the game winner to finish with 11 points. The girl has a sweet shot. One of her threes came during the big fourth-quarter run. Macie Wolfe came off of the bench, as did Martindell; she finished with 7 points.

For Lakewood, the super sophomore had 16 points; this was the first time I did not see her go for over 20. Jaylie Mass started hot, scoring 9 points, all of them in the first half if my memory is correct. By the time the game was close to over, she looked like she was going to pass out. Hallie Layne also started hot, scoring 7 early points. Senior Anna Crist totaled 6 points for the Lancers.

The highlight of my 2024 season was definitely the 42-yard free kick Coach Daniel Barker had me working on all week before we played that Friday night. For those that don’t know, a free kick happens after receiving a fair catch. Your team can choose to kick a field goal off a kickoff tee from where the fair catch was received. It’s very rarely used in football now. But I did do it. I made a 42-yard free kick, and it made my season! What was the toughest part of the 2024 season? The hardest part of the 2024 season was probably finding out that my best friend ...

  Jarred Johnson Huntington High School Guard, Defensive Line, MLB 2027 5'9, 230 lbs. Jersey Number: 59 Other sports played: powerlifting Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice. A big game last year for me was the game against Eastern Pike; even though the score didn’t show it, I feel like I had a good game on both sides of the ball. Eastern is always a good game. When we last spoke, you had said that 2024 would be the first year playing on the defensive line. So, how did that go? Last year was my first year playing defensive line; it went great. I loved being the one who did the dirty work for our inside linebackers! Last time we spoke, you said one of your goals was to become a leader. Were you able to achieve this goal? Yes, now that I’m considered an “upperclassman,” I feel that it’s my job to lead the upcoming pla...
