Behind a first-quarter scoring outburst that saw them put 34 points on the board, the St. Paul Flyers defeated Danbury, 84-35, to win the Division IV Sectional Semifinal last week at Norwalk High School.

In the first quarter, St. Paul shot 15-of-18, including 4-of-6 from the three-point line to build a 34-10 lead that was pushed to 49-20 at the half.

In a game that saw momentum switch hands a number of times in the second half, Clyde managed to weather the storm and answer every Oak Harbor rally to edge the Rockets, 54-51, in the Division II Sectional Semifinals at Clay High School.

Down 45-35 midway thru the fourth quarter, the Rockets staged a rally that started with a three-pointer by A.J. Cecil and ended with a Greg Haar triple to cut the deficit to 47-43 with 2:30 remaining.

After some back-and-forth possessions that didn’t net any points, Paul Cullen hit what appeared to be the dagger, connecting on a three-pointer out of the left corner with 1:01 remaining.

After defeating Oak Harbor twice in convincing fashion during the regular season, the Port Clinton Redskins needed a clutch performance to defeat the Rockets this time around, beating Oak Harbor, 52-45, to win the Division II Sectional Title.

Led by junior center Tiffany Colston, Port Clinton rallied from a six-point, first-half deficit, outscoring the Rockets, 26-18, in the second half.

Colston, who had a game-high 20 points and nine rebounds, helped the ‘Skins slowly pull away from Oak Harbor in the fourth quarter. After Rocket guard Makayla Carpenter scored on a three-point play with under a minute to play in the third quarter, Port Clinton outscored Oak Harbor, 18-9, from that point forward.
