The Beacon
BY YANEEK SMITH, BEACON CONTRIBUTOR
PORT CLINTON For the 11th year in a row, the Oak Harbor girls track team has won a league championship. The Rockets won the Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division, finishing with 166 points.
Margaretta was second with 124 points, followed by Edison (116), Huron (113), Willard (71) and Port Clinton (47).
“I think all year long they felt a little pressure from Huron and Margaretta. In our eyes, it was going to be a really close meet. They were really making us wonder if we could win this year,” said Oak Harbor coach John McKitrick. “This senior class didn’t want to be the ones that lost the streak. Everybody did their job.”
Port Clinton wins distaff nail-biter over Perkins, 53-52
From staff reports
PERKINS TWP. For every team going through the rebuilding process, there’s usually a marquee win that signals the program has turned a corner and is on the path to success. That might’ve been the case for Port Clinton in its 53-52 victory over Perkins.
The Redskins (4-11, 2-6 Sandusky Bay Conference Bay Division) rallied from a seven-point deficit in the fourth quarter to defeat the Pirates in dramatic fashion. With about six minutes to play, the Port Clinton girls trailed, 47-40, but finished the game on a 13-5 run, which culminated with Da’Cariya Lanier, who had a game-high 28 points, stealing the ball and scoring on a layup with eight seconds to play for the final points.
