Barwick Pours in Team High 20 for Louisville
Courtney Barwick scored 13 of her team high 20 points in the second half to lead the Lady Leopards. She also hit Louisville’s only 2 three-pointers in the game during the third quarter.
Ella Tillett also reached double figures with 10 and Maggie Baker added 6. Reagan Biery and Ezela Manko rounded out the Leopard scoring with 4 points each.
Nicola Scores Game High 30 to Lead Massillon
Hannah Nicola made 6 three-pointers and scored a game high 30 to lead the Lady Tigers. Four of those three-pointers came after halftime. Nicola poured in 22 in the second half, including 14 in the fourth quarter.
La Nia Moore also amassed 19 points and Delaney Pierce dropped in 15. Other scorers for Massillon included Jaryn Wolff with 3 and Rylee Adams who tacked on 2.
The Leopards led 8-7 at the end of the first quarter, but it was all Tigers after that. Massillon outscored Louisville 16-5 in the third, 18-12 in the third, and 28-13 in the fourth quarter.
The Lady Tigers have yet to be beaten on the court winning all 8 of their contests. However, Massillon’s record stands at 3-5 because they were forced to forfeit their first five games. The OHSAA ruled that an ineligible transfer player played the first five games of the season. This ruling does not impact the Tigers tournament eligibility.
Tigers Snap 6-Game Skid Vs. Leopards
Louisville won their prior 6 matches with the Tigers prior to Wednesday, including the last two played at Massillon. The Lady Leopards still lead the all-time series 19-11 overall, which includes a 7-6 record when playing at Washington High School.
