Girls, boys basketball seasons end in losses on February 15

The Titan girls played what turned out to be their final game of the season February 15 against Cusick, losing 52-36, to be eliminated from further competition at the District 7 playoffs in Deer Park.

Kendall Todd led the scoring for O-H with 9. Jessie Whitaker was right behind her with 8, Jordyn Tanke 5, Charli Moffet 4, Rebekah Marshall 4, Chelsea Fisher 4 and Cydnee Kieffer 2. Hannah Schmidt, Carley Williams and Katelyn Worley also saw playing time but did not score.

In a much closer game than the score would indicate, the Titan boys ended their season against league rivals ACH, losing 65-49. In Deer Park on Wednesday, February 15, the Titans came out firing on all cylinders in the first quarter and still led by three points midway through the game.

After the half-time break, ACH came out of the locker room resolved to fight harder. The game stayed close until the closing minutes, when the Titans were forced to foul in attempts to regain possession of the ball. The Warriors almost invariably made their foul shots and pulled away for an even larger lead.

Stetson Sanford was the first-half spark and made most of his 19 points in that half. After the half, ACH found ways to keep him from scoring. Cade Weber had 13 points, Brett Larmer 6, Justin Hunt 6, Markus Smith 3 and Jacob DeWulf 2. Jared King was a key defensive player.

For ACH, Derek Isaak was, as usual, the high scorer with 24, although Colin Deyarmin was close behind with 19. Drew Isaak had 11, Thunder Wellhausen 9 and Mitch Hunt 2.
