2/12
A big third quarter helped the Blanchester girls basketball team to a 46-39 win Wednesday over West Union in a non-league game at WUHS.
The Lady Wildcats completed the regular season with an 8-13 overall record. In Southern Buckeye Conference National Division action, the Lady Wildcats were 4-6.
Sarah Burton led Blanchester with 18 points.
“We told them at halftime that we just needed to calm down and hit the easy shots that we were getting and once they did it forced West Union to change its defense,” said BHS coach Andy Hamm.
The coach said Hosler’s defense on Natasha Barr of West Union was integral to the win.
“Ana followed her the entire night and our defense did a great job of protecting the rim when Ana did need help,” said Hamm.
Barr scored the 1,000th point of her career in the fourth quarter.

On a free throw with no time on the clock by Kayla Dugger, the Blanchester reserve girls basketball team defeated West Union 39-38 Wednesday in a non-league game at WUHS.
The Lady Wildcats finish the season with a 16-3 record.
“These girls competed as hard as any team I have ever coached in practice and in games,” said BHS coach Bennie Carroll. “The fight and determination they showed in this last game epitomized their attitude all year. They were a joy to coach. I hate to see the season end.”
Culberson tied the game with 10 seconds to play on a pair of free throws then Blanchester stole the ball from West Union on the ensuing possession. Dugger was fouled attempting a three-pointer as time expired. She went to the free throw line and made the first attempt to give the Lady Wildcats the win.

Blanchester 49 Williamsburg 30
We got down 3-0 pretty early but they never let it bother them. We did a good job of rebounding the ball with Sarah and Cierra and our guards did a great job of looking down the floor. We got a lot of transition buckets throughout the game, and Sydney did a great job of getting the ball down the floor. She threw some incredible passes that led to layups. We did a good job in the 2nd half of making sure they didn't make a run. I thought Cierra played very aggressive throughout, and Sydney did a great job of setting up our offense. - Coach Hamm

LC 48 in OT
"Lynchburg might be the 2nd or 3rd best team we play all year long and I thought we played a great ball game tonight. We have preached a lot lately that our defense is good enough to play with anyone. We came out tonight and Sarah Burton hit a couple big shots early to get our confidence up and we used that energy on defense. LC is 9-4 with a very tough schedule and we held them to 5 in the 2nd quarter. I thought the keys to the game were Sydney's ability to break the press by getting the ball to Hannah, and Hannah doing a good job of attacking the basket. Each girl came up big in certain spots but I thought the trio of Hannah, Sarah, and Sydney really got after it. Sarah filled up the stat sheet and Syd and Hannah did a good job of getting the ball down the floor." - Coach Hamm
