NEW BOSTON - Even if you’re missing one star, that doesn’t mean the constellation doesn’t shine.
The Coal Grove Lady Hornets were missing their star guard Chelsea Markins, but her teammates still managed to pull out a road win over the New Boston Lady Tigers 48-45 Saturday.
Markins missed the game due to a sprained ankle she suffered in the first half of Thursday’s loss at Fairland.
“To lose a girl averaging 20 points a game and win is a tribute to the effort of our girls,” Coal Grove coach Nick Miller said. “New Boston has been playing well lately and they’re tough on their court. This was a good win.”
Samantha Hall scored 15 points and Jordyn Cox 12 to lead the Lady Hornets (14-4). Maggie Young and Brittany Harris had eight each.
“Maggie Young stepped up and did a nice job for us,” Miller said.
Jessica Waugh scored 14 to lead New Boston (8-9).
New Boston was ahead 15-13 after the first quarter before Coal Grove rallied to take a 29-24 halftime lead.
Young and Cox scored six points each in the third quarter as Coal Grove extended its lead to 39-30.
New Boston outscored Coal Grove 15-9 in the fourth quarter as Waugh had nine points, but Hall scored seven to help the Lady Hornets maintain the lead.
Foul shooting proved a
key factor because neither team shot well from the line.
New Boston was only 10 of 24 from the line including 5 of 11 in the fourth quarter. Coal Grove was just 9 of 18 from the line for the game and 3 of 11 in the fourth quarter.
“We didn’t shoot the ball well from the foul line, but we were fortunate that they missed as many as they did,” Miller said.
