Wynford reaches district final again by defeating Danbury

LEXINGTON - One extended cold spell in the second half was all it took to bring Danbury's season to an abrupt end Thursday evening.
The Lakers went nearly nine minutes without scoring a point in the third and fourth quarters, which allowed Wynford to take full advantage as it rolled to a 45-38 victory in a Division IV district semifinal girls basketball game at Lexington High School.
The win will set up a rematch of last year's district final game, as Mansfield St. Peter's picked up a 53-38 victory against Sandusky St. Mary's in the second district semifinal bout at Lexington on Thursday.

Balanced offense, pressure defense lead to easy victory

FINDLAY - While many teams rely on one player to carry the scoring load, Riverdale showed Thursday night how good it can be to have multiple options on offense.
Kayla Brown, Kristi Kotterman and Allysha Wells all scored in double figures - in the first half - to lead the Falcons to a runaway 64-49 Division III district semifinal victory against Evergreen at Findlay High School.
Thanks in large part to Brown's 14 first-quarter points, the Falcons (20-2) jumped out to a 20-7 lead. Wells and Kotterman scored 11 points each in the second quarter, helping Riverdale pull ahead even more, 42-24.
