Four area teams landed berths in the three Baron Cup tournaments this week. Here’s a look at each:

BARON CUP I

Mike Haszto, Elyria Catholic’s assistant coach, promises Thursday night’s game between his No. 7 seed Panthers and second-seeded University School will be competitive.

“We aren’t afraid of the Red North,” Haszto said after EC tied North Olmsted on Saturday. “We outplayed Padua.”

That might have been the highlight of Elyria Catholic’s season — a 5-3 win over Padua, one of the six teams in the premier Red North, in the Titan Classic last month in Sylvania. The Panthers are 1-1 against Red North teams, having lost 4-2 to Lake Catholic in the North Coast League tourney.

EC (19-9-3) and US (15-10-2) present contrasts. The Panthers have scored 153 goals and allowed 86 this season (52 goals to 19 allowed in 10 league games). The Preppers have a 91-54 goal ratio (28-17 in league games).

US, which is on a five-game winning streak, likes to score quickly, then settle into a defensive game. That was what they did to North Olmsted in last year’s Baron Cup, winning 3-0 in the first round and going on to take the championship.

North Olmsted (19-7-1) hasn’t played any Red North teams this year. The Eagles get their first shot at a North rival when they face Padua (16-9-8) at 5:30 Thursday night. The EC-US game follows.

BARON CUP II

Amherst (20-10-1) played one team from the White East this season and lost, falling to Kenston 5-0 on Dec. 27. Should the Comets beat Chagrin Falls (16-11-1) they’ll play White West champ Rocky River —  which beat Amherst twice in the regular season — on Friday at 8 p.m.

Chagrin Falls scored 49 goals and yielded 35 in White East play. Amherst was 29 for and 31 against in White West games, but the Comets are 7-1-1 in their last nine games (3-0-1 in White games) with wins over two Baron Cup teams from the Red Division.

The puck drops for the Amherst-Chagrin Falls game tonight at 8:30.

BARON CUP III

Bay (17-10-1) plays Kent Roosevelt (9-15-1) this afternoon at 4:30. The Rockets are 1-1 against the Roughriders, having split a pair of games in the MLK Tournament. Bay has scored 102 goals while giving up 74. Kent scored 85 goals and allowed 100 in the regular season.

All tournament games will be played at the John Coyne Recreation Center on Memphis Avenue in Brooklyn.

Potent Panthers

Elyria Catholic had four of the top nine scorers in the Red Division this year. Justin Saunders was second with 23 points (six goals, 17 assists), Brad Oravets was third with 21 points (11-10), Kevin Andrews was fourth with 20 points (11-9) and Pat DeSouza was tied for sixth with 15 points (7-8).

OBERLIN — Rarely are there days when a basketball team is so on, virtually everything that can go right does.

Monday was one of those days for Lutheran West, which demolished Oberlin 72-27 in a Patriot Athletic Conference Stripes Division game.

The Longhorns (7-9, 6-4 PAC) connected on 13 of 23 3-pointers, shot 8-for-10 from the floor in the second quarter, held Oberlin scoreless in the third quarter and outrebounded the Phoenix 39-25, while committing only 10 turnovers.

The game was a makeup of a postponed game from Jan. 8 — hence, the rare Monday boys basketball game. The Phoenix, however, played like it left its game back in January.

Oberlin coach Kurt Russell left the gym quickly after the game without meeting with the media. Assistant coach David Watson spoke on the team’s behalf.

“(Lutheran West) shot the ball and we didn’t,” he said. “They shot the ball extremely well. We tried to make some changes defensively, but (the Longhorns) were feeling the groove and their shots were falling.

“They shot particularly well from the 3-point area, too. Hats off to them. They had a great shooting night, and we tried to switch up our defenses, but we just couldn’t find the answer for what they had tonight.”

Lutheran West’s Cal Thomay, a 6-foot-3 senior, set the tone when he buried his first four 3-point attempts — all from the left corner. He finished with six of his team’s threes and a career-high 20 points.

“It was a good shooting day for me,” said Thomay, who was 6-of-8 from the floor, all from 3-point range. “They were leaving me open, and I like to seize the opportunity whenever I have open shots. My teammates were passing well and we were moving the ball around.

“I usually like (to shoot) from anywhere around the perimeter, but our offense sets it up where we have two guys in the corners and we can drive and dish. That’s where I was setting up today, and I was just feeling it.”

The Longhorns were only getting started.

In the second quarter, it seemed that virtually every shot they took was destined to go through the net. As a result, a 17-6 lead blew up to a 40-15 halftime advantage.

Lutheran West shot an astounding 80 percent from the floor (8-for-10) and 100 percent from the free throw line (4-for-4), en route to a 23-point second quarter. And that was mostly with the Longhorns’ second unit on the floor.

It was that kind of night for the Longhorns.

“Before the game, I questioned how ready we’d be,” Lutheran West coach Ray Durban said. “My pregame talk was, ‘Are you ready?’ I guess they were.

“We came out great Friday night and let one get away from us by a Brooklyn team that’s really come a long way. Tonight, they played a great game in almost every facet you could think of.”

The Longhorns showed they could play a little defense, too, especially in the third quarter.

The Phoenix (3-13, 1-9) went 0-for-11 from the floor and 0-for-2 from the line in being shut out in the third quarter. Meanwhile, the Longhorns only made five of 12 shots in the third, but that was enough for 12 unanswered points and an insurmountable 52-15 lead.

“What was more impressive than the way we shot was how we defended,” Durban said. “To shut a team out for a whole quarter is a significant feat. I thought we made good decisions (and) I thought we played unselfish.”

Senior Dorian Pretlow snapped a nine-and-a-half minute scoring drought for the Phoenix with a layup off a steal 35 seconds into the fourth quarter, which led to a 12-point quarter. But the Longhorns weren’t finished giving the nets a workout by any stretch.

Leading 58-21 midway through the fourth, the Longhorns ended the game with a 14-6 run, pushing the final margin to 45 points.

Marcus Spelich added 13 points, including three 3-pointers, and a game-high nine rebounds for the ’Horns.
“Cal Thomay’s a great shooter,” Durban said. “He’s battled some health things a little bit this year, but tonight, he was all that.

“We got our whole team a chance to play, at least those that were healthy. It was a good win for us. When we shoot it like that, it’s easy. But I think we’re capable of shooting it like that, and it gets us in a good frame of mind because we have Clearview on Friday night (at home).”

For Oberlin, senior Anthony Barnhill led the way with seven points and nine boards.

NORTH RIDGEVILLE — Domination was the order of the day at the 10th annual North Shore Bowling Conference Tournament at Brunswick Zone.

The Keystone girls won for the third straight time and the North Ridgeville boys for the second time in three years as both teams dominated the three regular games, forcing all challengers into playing catchup.

Keystone’s girls topped Vermilion 3,562-3,490, beating the Sailors by 57 pins in the three regular games and padding their margin by another 15 pins in the Baker round. Amherst (3,358) took third ahead of league dual-meet champ North Ridgeville (3,345), which struggled much of the day.

The North Ridgeville boys amassed 4,354 pins and were never seriously threatened. The Rangers led by 266 pins after three regular games and ended up winning by 319. Keystone rallied from sixth place in the last two Baker games to finish second with 4,030. Only 56 pins separated second and seventh place on the boys side.

Junior Amanda Keathley led the ’Cats with a 543 series, the fifth-best mark of the tournament. Seniors Alli Branham and Rachel Salyer tied for the No. 6 spot overall, each with a 522 series.

“We just kept cheering each other on,” Keathley said. “If anyone was having a bad game, we were all right there to help pick that person right back up.”

Keathley, Branham and Salyer also all bowled well at last year’s NSBC classic.

“We were determined,” Branham said. “We all wanted to win. It took awhile to get the team chemistry going this season. When we got it, we all took off.”

Coming up big for Keystone were senior Brittany Norris (461), junior Alexis Sanislow, sophomore Shelby Cyrus and sophomore Jessica Koleszar.

“The most important thing is that we all stayed very positive throughout,” Salyer said. “Our biggest downfall, when we don’t do so well, is when someone gets upset for not doing well. It sometimes pulls the entire team down. Today, everyone stayed positive. That was the most important part.”

The North Ridgeville boys set the tone early, dominating just as they did during the dual-meet portion of the schedule.

Seniors Collin Oliva and Joe Sas led the way, finishing 1-2 overall in top series with marks of 736 and 709. Oliva, who had a high game of 277, bowled 70 pins above average and Sas, whose best game was a 265, was 121 pins above average.

“We went undefeated in the conference, so why not win here?” asked Oliva, who took second last year to Keystone’s Tyler Minnich (707) with a 703.

Last year, North Ridgeville finished second behind Vermilion in the dual-meet standings. The Rangers were third at the 2009 NSBC Tournament as Keystone and Amherst ran away with it.

“It was all about staying positive,” Sas said. “I had to keep myself up instead of getting mad over mistakes.”

North Ridgeville boys coach Frank Kotas liked what he saw.

“We started off strong,” he said. “A couple guys fell off a little in the third game, so we moved some guys around. They’re still well-focused. They’re looking forward on trying to go to state again this year. No complaints about the team. These guys are just fantastic this year.”

Junior Brandon Becka (631), senior Adam Kotas (573), senior Ricky Cayet (412) and junior Mike O’Sullivan (155) also contributed for the Rangers.

The Amherst girls made a big improvement, taking third with 3,358 pins, up 566 pins from last year when they finished seventh.

Senior Allison Flock finished with a 571 series, 82 pins above average. It was the second-best girls score of the day.

“I was actually a little surprised we did so well,” Flock said. “I’m very excited. We really came together as a team for Bakers. … We were more focused and we made better shots.”

ELYRIA - Elyria Catholic staged a remarkable fourth-quarter comeback and put together an overtime shutout Saturday afternoon to win its biggest game of the season to date.

The Panthers, trailing by eight points with just 3:30 left in regulation, made a gutsy 18-2 run from then to the end for a 58-50 victory and a share of first place in the North Coast League White Division. It avenged a 65-59 loss to VASJ on Jan. 14.

The game was tied at 50 at the end of four quarters, thanks to EC junior Emily Taylor’s drive to the hoop in the final 31 seconds.

The Panthers then made 8 of 12 foul shots in the four-minute overtime and held the Vikings scoreless. VASJ (12-5) and EC (14-3) are 8-2 in the NCL, each with three league games left.

The momentum began to swing in EC’s favor when junior Myrasia Flowers drained a 3-point shot with 2:45 to go. The shot not only launched the Panthers’ 18-2 run, it also kept them within striking distance, 48-43. From that point on, EC limited the Vikings to two foul shots over nearly seven minutes.

“I just remember being wide open,” Flowers said. “Emily (Taylor) penetrated and kicked it out to me. I was wide open and I just hit the shot. I was thinking, ‘Now we have to come back and play ‘D.’ We need to get a stop, come back and get another shot.”

The Panthers had to make two comebacks. They trailed 24-15 late in the second quarter, but reeled off eight straight points to cut the margin to 24-23 at the break. After that, the 5-foot-6 Taylor - who scored just two points the first half –came alive. She scored seven points in the third quarter and a total of 15 in the fourth quarter and overtime to finish with a game-high 24. She made 12 of 16 foul shots after the half.

Her performance was especially impressive since she has been ill and missed the last two days of school. She said she was motivated by her teammates.

“I looked at my team and we went through the same deal with (the Vikings) when we were playing at their place,” Taylor said. “We were up at halftime and they came back to beat us. I just looked at my team and I was like, ‘I’m not letting that happen again. I don’t care what it takes.’”

The Panthers got another strong job under the backboards from 5-11 junior Ashley Schuster, who came away with 11 rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals.

They also got a huge rebound from 6-0 senior Sara Schneider late in the overtime and another from 5-5 senior Mimi Rothgery shortly after that. Rothgery was fouled as she headed up court with the ball, then made two foul shots with 10.9 seconds left to finish the scoring.

“I knew if they got the rebound they’d get a putback,” Rothgery said. “I also knew we were in the double bonus and that could be a big thing. I missed two (foul shots) in the first half, and I’m a good foul shooter in practice. I was like, ‘This is ridiculous, I’m not going to miss two more.’”

EC coach Eric Rothgery said the Panthers’ two big runs built their confidence.

“That was tough, but I want to tell you the girls pulled down and got it from their guts,” he said. “I don’t know where they got it from, but this could be a big step for us. You know, Emily was sick, missed a couple days of school and I looked at her at the beginning of the second half and said, ‘She’s done. I thought she was done.’

“I don’t know where she grabbed it from. There’s something inside that kid that’s amazing. I’ve been coaching her since she was in the fourth grade and I probably know her better than anybody. She just said, ‘We are not losing today.’ She was so positive and so pumped up.”

Vikings coach Anthony Redding said poor shooting hurt his team.

“I just told them in there, we missed the front end of quite a few one-and-ones,” he said. “We missed free throws and they came down and hit that three (by Flowers).”

In fact, the Vikings missed nine of 17 foul shots, including the front end of two one-and-ones in the last 1:58. Had they made them, they could have won the game. VASJ also missed 51 field-goal attempts for the game.

WESTLAKE - It was an obstacle Westlake had never faced in the 29-year history of the Southwestern Conference Swimming and Diving Championships: The loss of its coach at midseason.

Jim Walsh was forced to resign Monday due to health issues.

This past year, the 65-year-old Walsh battled through liver tumors, gall bladder surgery and heart arrhythmia. He was given a recent clean bill of health by a neurologist, but said he was told to resign anyway.

Walsh led Westlake to nine SWC titles - five girls, four boys - in seven years, more than any swim coach in conference history.

Despite the shakeup and with assistant Jessica Dye as their new coach, the Demons refused to be denied Saturday as the girls won their sixth straight SWC title and 18th overall and the boys won their fifth straight conference crown and eighth overall.

The Westlake girls won just one event - the 400 free relay - but their depth was too much for second-place Brecksville to handle. The Demons had six second-place finishes and four fourth places.

Westlake trailed by four points after nine events, but amassed 102 points in the last three events to beat the Bees, 299-261.

“Everyone pulled together,” Westlake senior Grace Pophal said. “We were scared for a while, but everyone knew what they had to do. Success hasn’t spoiled us. We knew we had to work for it.”

Pophal teamed with sophomore Lauren Choban, junior Heather Smith and junior Megan Splain to win the 400 free relay in 3:48.96.

“We were very disappointed when we first heard the news (about Walsh),” Pophal said. “But everyone pulled it together. Coach Dye has done an awesome job.”

Pophal contributed with second-place finishes in the 50 free (25.33) and 100 free (56.93).

“The kids really stepped up wherever we asked them,” said Dye, 27, who was a Twinsburg assistant for four years before coming to Westlake. “It’s a big meet for them, just with the tradition with Westlake swimming. They put a lot of pressure on themselves to focus to do well as the teams have done here in the past. They’re carrying on that pride and tradition.”

Junior Joe Craven led the Westlake boys. He won the 200 free (1:48.11) and 100 fly (52.95). He also teamed with seniors Bobby Knurek, Andrew Medoro and Tyler McFarland for an SWC record in the 200 free relay (1:32.53).

“It was a good meet,” Craven said. “Today were my season-best times. It wasn’t quite the performance I was hoping for, but I should be back on track for sectionals.”

Westlake finished with 307 points. Amherst was second with 296, equaling its best finish since 2000.

Amherst senior Dominic Pecze broke Craven’s 2009 100 fly record (54.90) with a time of 54.49.

“Joe’s a good friend,” Pecze said. “I had a good day. It’s just nice to have this type of day coming off a shoulder injury. It’s a good sign for the rest of the season.”

Pecze also led off two winning relays - the 200 medley (1:46.85) and the 400 free (3:28.62).

Andrew Machesky, Frankie Keeling and Tyler Moore joined Pecze on the medley relay. Wengerd, Keeling and Moore teamed with Pecze on the 400 relay.

Olmsted Falls junior Amanda Paliska had an outstanding meet. For the third straight year, she won the 200 IM (2:14.56) and 100 fly (1:00.04).

“I was so nervous. I could barely sleep last night,” Paliska said. “It’s a good accomplishment. Times were good today. I can’t wait for districts.”

Paliska is only the second girl in meet history to win the IM and fly events three times. Previously, Molly Kuhlman of Westlake won the 200 IM (1988-90) and Westlake’s Lisa Schuette took the 100 fly (1989-91).

“You don’t know what everyone else’s taper is like,” Paliska said. “You just have to swim your own race and do your best.”

Avon Lake swept boys and girls diving Friday.

Avon Lake senior Logan Crist won his second straight SWC title on his 11th and final dive, doing it with a school-record total of 451.35. North Olmsted senior Curtis Sampson was second (449.55). It was the second-closest final in meet history.

Avon Lake junior Morgan Srail pulled ahead of North Olmsted senior Tiffany Platko in the eighth round and went to win, 420.00-413.45

NORTH OLMSTED - Dan McBride should be lauded for his performance, and for his frankness.

“I felt like puking,” said McBride, the North Olmsted goalie. “Really, I was so excited I thought I was going to puke. I felt like passing out.”

What put McBride in such a state was the tenseness and the gravity of Saturday’s Red Division game between the Eagles and Elyria Catholic - a game North Olmsted couldn’t afford to lose.

The Eagles didn’t lose it, but they came dangerously close.

A goal with 1:25 to play enabled North Olmsted to squeeze out a 3-3 tie. The draw enabled the Eagles to win the Red East championship outright. North Olmsted (18-7-1, 6-3-1 Red East) also grabbed a berth in this week’s Baron Cup I tournament, facing Walsh Jesuit on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

The tying goal came 55 seconds after Elyria Catholic (19-9-3, 7-2-1 Red South) went ahead and 29 seconds after a penalty against the Panthers gave North Olmsted a power-play opportunity.

The goal that evened the score, by Mike Minch off a pass from Ryan Sutton, allowed the Eagles to not waste a terrific performance by McBride, who came up with 42 saves for the day.

“He was huge down the stretch,” North Olmsted coach Tim Murphy said. “He came up huge when we were at a 5-on-3 disadvantage (for 1:33 of the third period).”

McBride, a senior in his first season as a fulltime goalie, came up even larger in the second period when he faced 20 EC shots and allowed just one goal.

The teams skated for eight scoreless minutes in overtime. Murphy said he kept the fact a tie would bring the same result as a victory to himself.

“I didn’t want them in that mind-set, thinking all they had to do was tie,” Murphy said. “All we did (to play a more defensive game) was keep one guy positioned higher. We didn’t want to give up a home run (uneven rush by EC).”

“We were thinking straight win - to win it all,” McBride said when asked if he and his teammates might have played only to keep EC away from the net.

EC had less of a stake in the game, as the Panthers had secured second place in their division and knew they were a Baron Cup I entry no matter what happened. Assistant coach Mike Haszto, filling in for Dave Phiel, insisted his team needed a strong showing against the Eagles.

“We take each other seriously,” Haszto said. “This is the second overtime game in three games we have played against these guys.

“We were playing for pride. We were playing for momentum going into the Baron Cup. We were playing for the seniors, for their last regular-season game. We wanted to go in (the tournaments) on a high note.”

The Panthers also play Thursday night, against University School, just after the North Olmsted-Walsh Jesuit game. Starting time is 8 o’clock.

EC struck first when Brad Oravets took a pass from behind the net from Justin Saunders and shot the puck past McBride’s waist just 29 seconds into the second period. North Olmsted tied matters with 5:18 remaining in the period on a similar play, on which Mike Konyesni fed Tim Musat for Musat’s third goal of the season.

Casey Jones scored an unlikely goal from beyond the blue line on a pass from Sean McBride to give the Eagles a 2-1 lead. James Baker scored with nine seconds left on a power play to tie the score for the second time, and Saunders gathered a pass from Oravets and skated between two defenders to beat McBride for EC’s go-ahead goal.

GARFIELD HTS. - Although Elyria wasn’t able to defend its Northeast Ohio Conference tournament title from a year ago, the Pioneers had plenty to be positive about after Saturday’s action was over.

The Pioneers had four freshman wrestlers place in the brutally tough event, junior 189-pounder Jason Gott repeated his runner-up performance and junior Myles Wright finished third at 140 pounds after picking up five pins in six matches.

“It was a pretty good weekend for our young guys,” Pioneers coach Erik Burnett said. “It’s nice to get on the podium in a tough tournament like this. Our older guys are obviously a little disappointed. Jason and Kodie (Egnor) came to win it, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. That’s when you got to come back and wrestle hard.”

Gott was the lone Elyria wrestler to advance to the finals, where he met Twinsburg’s Drew Rader - the only wrestler to hand him a league loss this season. Gott and Rader used explosive takedowns and escapes in a highly entertaining match, but when the dust settled Gott was on the wrong end of a 12-9 decision.

“He just knew everything I was going to do,” Gott said. “(If we meet again) I just won’t make the mistakes I made during the first two matches (against him). I was runner-up last year and I wanted to win it this year. But next year I’ll just come back harder.”

Coming back with a vengeance is exactly what Wright did after suffering his lone defeat of the weekend Friday night. After opening the tournament with a first-period pin of Medina’s Shane Hotchkiss, Wright lost to Brush’s Devon Range.

Wright bounced back with four pinfall victories Saturday - over Twinsburg’s Jeremy Clark at 3:33, over Mayfield’s Connor Shaughnessy at 2:58, over Brunswick’s Jacob Stephens at 4:37 and over Strongsville’s Nick Chrzanowski at 4:10.

“I knew I wasn’t seeded, so I felt I had to come in here and make a statement for myself,” Wright said. “Getting pins is something I work on during practice. I kind of look for that during matches, and it almost becomes like a habit. I don’t even know I’m doing it.”

Joining Wright with a third-place finish was freshman 103-pounder Nate Miller, who advanced to the championship semifinals before taking his first loss. He bounced back for a pair of wins - including an 8-0 major decision over Mayfield’s Nick Bishop in the third-place match.

“I know there’s some tough kids in our conference, and I lost to a few of them of course, but I just try to come back and do the best I can,” Miller said. “Third place at a tough tournament like this is great. Of course I’m aiming for first, but I think I’m at a peak (in the season).

“You want to wrestle the best so that you can get better. We have a tough schedule, we get the best of the best.”

That’s just one of the many reasons Burnett was happy with his team’s seventh-place finish Saturday night. After a grueling season that included the Walsh Jesuit Ironman, the Brecksville Holiday Tournament and the tough conference dual meets and tournament, Burnett knows his wrestlers are battle-tested and ready for the postseason.

“That’s the bottom line - to get better,” he said. “We haven’t had an undefeated wrestler yet come through, but the kids get better and better. That’s what we’re trying to do - better wrestlers, better people … the whole 9 yards.”

“It’s pretty much individual now. You want your guys to get through sectionals, get to districts and get down to Columbus and do the best they can.”

The other three freshman to place for Elyria were Brandon Egnor (sixth at 112), Eli Garcia (fifth at 125) and Zach Woodings (sixth at 160). Kodie Egnor, a senior, placed fifth at 130.

“Our younger guys are getting better and better, and that’s all you can ask,” Burnett said. “They’re buying in and doing a lot of things right, and you can’t ask much more than that.”

MAYFIELD - It’s too bad not many people got to see Elyria play at Mayfield on Friday night. They may have missed the Pioneers’ best all-around performance of the year.

Elyria handled the Wildcats rather easily, 54-37, in a Northeast Ohio crossover game that does not count in the standings. Elyria improved to 8-7 overall, while Mayfield fell to 9-6.

“We just talked about it walking off the court,” Elyria coach Brett Larrick said. “I’ll tell you what, our guys did a tremendous job of playing together. Everyone that played tonight bought into what we wanted to accomplish.

“Defensively, we switched up every two, three possessions … we trapped different possessions. Offensively, we passed the ball against the 1-3-1 (zone defense). It’s the best we’ve handled that.”

Mike Cannon and Devin Swidecki each scored 16 points. It probably wasn’t that huge a surprise to see Cannon lead the way with his quick first-step penetration to the basket, but for Swidecki, it was a career night. Coming into Friday, Swidecki had scored a total of 25 points the entire season.

“We knew (Mayfield) would try to press us a lot,” said Swidecki, who started in place of Elyria’s leading scorer Will Rudolph, who was suspended from playing Friday for violating team rules. “We just wanted to work the ball around against them and it was a good defensive effort against them. We ran our defenses right and it threw them off-guard.”

Cannon was the key to the offense. The smooth 6-foot senior found ways to penetrate the lane for layups.

“Coach wanted me to be aggressive and get everyone involved,” Cannon said. “We didn’t have Rudolph in the paint so we needed to get plays from my other teammates.”

The Pioneers methodically built a lead and withstood a Mayfield burst at the end of the third quarter that sliced a 12-point lead to 39-33 entering the final eight minutes. With Swidecki scoring 10 of his points in the final quarter, Elyria went on a 13-0 run to put the game away.

At one point, the Pioneers worked over a minute off the clock before Cannon found Swidecki for a layup. You can be sure Larrick will show his team that sequence over and over again to remind them how the game should be played.

“We did a lot of good things,” Larrick said. “We slowed it down a little bit. First half, we were a little stagnant. We didn’t recognize what (Mayfield) was in. At the end, we were getting layups against pressure. Our guys are learning how to handle traps, handle pressure. Mike Cannon has been doing a fabulous job the past couple weeks. He’s playing great.”

Chase Farris drew Mayfield’s defense but the 6-6 junior still managed 10 rebounds and seven points. He also made three of four foul shots.

“Chase is still the backbone of everything we do,” Larrick said. “I know he was getting frustrated, but heck, they put two and three (guys) on Chase and that left Devin open.”

Mayfield coach Keith Leffler gave credit to the Pioneers.

“(Elyria) executed much better than we did,” Leffler said.

EATON TWP. - Vermilion’s Madison Montgomery made just one field goal in the Sailors’ 52-49 West Shore Conference win over Midview on Friday, but it was a critical hoop at the end of the second quarter.

Midview junior forward Patrick Geyser had just hit a 3-pointer from the left corner with only eight seconds remaining in the first half, but Montgomery responded by taking the inbounds pass, jogging up the floor and pulling up for a shot from the blue “M” that adorns the center circle of the floor at Kubuski Gymnasium.

No Middie stepped up and tried to defend the shot, which sailed through the air, hit squarely on the backboard and dropped in for the buzzer-beating score.

“You know, I’ve been practicing those shots all the time in practice, just messing around,” Montgomery said. “I got the feel for the ball and I just let it go. It just gave us a lot of momentum going into that second half. Our coach always preaches about finishing off a game and we came out and did that.”

“It was a huge momentum breaker because they hit a huge three to end the half,” Vermilion Coach Kurt Habermehl said.

“He comes and hits the half-court shot and it kind of breaks that momentum they have going into the half.

“We’ve been telling our kids they’re good players. They’ve got to make plays. Tonight, they made plays.”

The Sailors improved to 10-6 overall and 6-4 in the WSC, while the Middies fell to 4-12, 3-7.

Montgomery might have hit the first big shot of the game for the Sailors, but it was not the last. Senior guard Dan Oates also hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key at the end of the third quarter.

The Sailors used Oates’ shot as a springboard and outpaced Midview 16-9 over the final eight minutes.

The Middies turned the ball over on their first two possessions of the fourth quarter and watched a four-point lead quickly turn into a deficit. Oates connected on a 3-pointer from the right wing to start the fourth and followed Mitch Novak’s putback with another 3-pointer.

Midview got within a point of the Sailors when Nick Clark made a baseline jumper with 1:19 remaining, but Vermilion made three of four free throws late to seal the win.

Vermilion made six of 10 free throws, while the Middies were three-of-seven from the foul line in the fourth quarter.

“In the second half, our free throw shooting was terrible,” Midview coach Troy DiFranco said.

“We were five of 15 and missed a couple front ends of one-and-ones. We gave up seven offensive rebounds and still had a chance to win it.”

LORAIN - As the days count down on Admiral King’s final wrestling season, the Admirals are doing everything they can to enjoy the final ride.

The program was able to cross another item off its bucket list Friday night - defending its Lake Erie League Erie Division championship.

“It feels really good,” Admirals coach Jim Black said. “We tried to step up the level of competition in our schedule this season, and it paid off at the conference tournament. Hopefully, it’ll pay off at sectionals, too.”

Admiral King swept all four dual meets to win the team title, and eight Admirals captured individual championships along the way.

The tournament host downed Warrensville Heights 53-21, Shaw 67-6, Euclid 57-16 and Bedford 42-33.

The final match against Bedford was a true championship dual as both teams had 3-0 records coming in.

Senior Brandon Medina got the Admirals off to a good start with a solid display of mat technique against Bedford’s Antoine Gurley in the 189-pound match. Medina used a pair of first-period takedowns to grab the early lead, rode Gurley out in the second period and piled on more points in the third for a 10-3 decision.

“This is a great feeling, especially since I’m a senior and it’s Admiral King’s last year,” Medina said.

Medina ground out several close decisions against some of the top wrestlers. He wore down his opponents by refusing to give up escape points several times when the other wrestler chose the down position to begin a period.

“A lot of the guys I wrestled were captains on the other team,” Medina said. “So they were important matches because I was beating their leaders.

“I had said I wanted to work on my riding this year. My arms are numb, so that’s a good sign that I was able to do that.”

The Admirals continued to build momentum in the championship match, including a gutsy victory by 130-pounder Blake Binyard.

Binyard, who is listed among the 119-pounders on the Admirals roster, won his first three matches by forfeit. He was down by two points in the second period against Bedford’s Kenneth McGinnis when he used a single-leg to put McGinnis on his back for the pin.

“I’m only a freshman, so being a conference champion is a big deal to me,” Binyard said. “I just tried to stay focused during the match and not give up too much. I finally was able to take a shot and took him to his back.”

It’s a statement Caleb Borden could say after every one of his matches. Borden wrestled at 215 pounds Thursday night, but was the Admirals’ heavyweight for the LEL Duals. The senior went 4-0 with four pinfall victories, even though he was outweighed by more than 50 pounds by some of his opponents.

“It gets tiring trying to throw those big guys around because I’m so little,” Borden said. “I might be the littlest heavyweight ever. But I had it in my mind that I was going to beat them, so that’s what I did.”

Borden said making the weight cut to 215 left him feeling weak during his Thursday match, and being able to get his fluids before Friday’s competition made him feel stronger at the higher weight class.

“I don’t think I’ve ever felt so good in my life,” he said. “When I went to 215, I felt like I had no strength. But today I felt great.”

Also winning conference titles for the Admirals were Antonio Lopez at 103, Johnny Spinkston at 119, Juan Lugo at 125, Bishop Overton at 140 and Amon Willis at 215.

“Eight champions … that’s kind of nice for Admiral King,” Black said. “We know there are peaks and valleys in every season, and we’re obviously wrestling pretty well right now. One of our big season goals was to repeat as league champs, and we did it.”
