Ottawa Hills evened the score against the Hawks tonight winning at the Varsity Gym 45-38. It was a game of streaks, with the Green Bears jumping out to a 13-4 lead at the end of the first. The Hawks roared back in the second quarter to lead 24-21 at the break.
OH's key stretch came in the third when they were able to find an opening in the Hawks zone at the right wing during the last 3:38 of the third quarter and converted several key shots to go up by five at the end of three, 32-27.
MV cut the lead to one during the fourth, then to two as late as the 2:45 mark, but could not convert down the stretch. Between the free throw line and the melee of pressing while behind, the Bears got it back up to seven by game's end.
The Hawks had their chances - taking the same 38 two point attempts as OH, firing 18 three point attempts to 10 for the Bears, and going 4-6 from the line vs. 3-4 for the visitors. But the rims weren't kind for the home team this evening and it was not to be.
For the Hawks, Rick Deichert led the way with 11, followed by Julius Turner with 9 and Jared Sturt with 8. Dave Brown had 6 for MV, Jon Krueger scored 3 and Dixon Stoddard added 1.
Lucas Janowicz led all scorers with 17 points for Ottawa Hills.
So Maumee Valley needs to think like an NFL cornerback and quickly forget. It's off to Cardinal Stritch Friday for the last regular season TAAC game, then back home Saturday for an out-of-conference game against North Baltimore.
