“We were winning big, up 18 or 20 points at one time, but we didn’t put them away. We had opportunities and give them credit. They kept chipping away at our lead,” said Oak Harbor coach Adam Steinbrick. “We made some mental mistakes. You’ve gotta give them credit, they hung in there and didn’t give up. They got back into it.”

Oak Harbor’s Ryann Steinbrick had a game-high 23 points, Riley Steinbrick scored 19 points and Auna Tack chipped in with 10.

“We’ve got a bunch of great girls, we’ve gotta keep working and try to keep improving and try to build depth,” said Steinbrick. “As a coach, it’s hard to stay patient, but this is the first year with these girls and it’s going to take some time and we just have to continue to build.”
