Could this year be special for GWOC Champs Northmont? |
Dayton City League
Dunbar survives Thurgood and Rivalry Game
The Wolverines held off a game and scrappy Thurgood team in what was a 60-59 win. Thurgood had a couple chances to get the upset victory, but couldn't seal the deal and the upset. The Wolverines were forced into a slow pace game, didn't shoot well, and Cougars Head Coach Shawn McCullough came up with a great game plan to hold down the Wolverines.
Not to mention Dunbar-Thurgood has been the premiere rivalry in Dayton Public for the last 20 years. So when that happens, all records go out the door. Dunbar moves to 17-3 on the season.
Stivers ends Meadowdale win streak, move to 2nd place
The Tigers picked up after their first loss in 7 games with a win over Meadowdale 61-51. Both teams were playing good ball of late, as the Tigers had won 6 straight before a setback on Saturday. Meadowdale was on a 4 game winning streak, but Tony Boddie was the key player, leading the Tigers to 2nd place in the City League with one game to go.
Belmont knocks off Ponitz
The Ponitz Panthers got a big City victory over Belmont, as they try to get ready for the tournament run. Ponitz, a week ago, felt like they had a outside shot at a city league title, but a couple of losses doomed that. Now Coach Steve Pittman and the Panthers crew are working towards a 2 spot in the city and a lengthy tourney run. Star F Floyd Scott led the Panthers. Belmont still is trying to find its rhythm this season, but could be a tough out come tourney time.
