Girls Basketball Ocosta 48, Crescent 37
OCOSTA — The Crescent girls basketball team hung tough with Ocosta, but an injury late in the game gave the edge to the Wildcats, who went on to win 48-37.
“It was a good, good game,” said Crescent coach Brian Shimko. “We battled them really well.”
Senior Lexi Dunavant, who was having a solid game with 10 points and 11 rebounds, rolled her ankle in the fourth quarter and was replaced by one of Crescent’s eighth graders. That turned out to be too big of a loss to overcome down the stretch for the Loggers.
Fellow senior Naomii Sprague scored 23 points and hit a pair of 3-pointers. She also had eight steals.
“[Dunavant] was scoring for us inside. Both seniors had really good games,” Shimko said.
The Loggers’ (8-9) game against Lake Quinault on Friday was canceled. Crescent’s next game is at Forest Ridge next Monday.
