Press Sports Editor sports@presspublications.com As it currently stands, there are six girls basketball teams in the Northern Buckeye Conference with a realistic shot at winning the league championship.
Eastwood rebounded from a double-digit deficit to defeat Genoa, 44-42, in both teams’ Northern Buckeye Conference girls basketball opener Friday.Eastwood 5-foot-7 senior guard Kayla Buehler led the comeback, scoring 23 points, mostly in transition.When Buehler decides she wants to score, she makes no bones about it, taking off full steam ahead toward the rim.Buehler had seven rebounds and five steals, often going coast-to-coast after a defensive rebound or getting an easy layup in transition off a steal. The Comets had no answer for her.
Last year, the Cardinal Stritch softball team was young, and keeping the season alive was the play of then-senior third baseman Allie St. Clair, who batted .574 (27-for-47) with 24 RBIs and 14 stolen bases.
