MORNING JOURNAL/JIM BOBEL Firelands' Rachel Holowecky steps around Buckeye?s Julia Sekerak to score in the third quarter on Wednesday at Firelands. The Falcons beat the Bucks, 42-31, to clinch the Patriot Athletic Conference Stars Division title.
HENRIETTA TWP. ? It has been a long time coming for Firelands.
Relying on defense and exhibiting patience on offense, the Falcons claimed their first conference championship since 1996-97 with a 42-31 Patriot Athletic Conference Stars Division win over Buckeye.
?This is an awesome feeling,? Firelands senior Rachel Holowecky said. ?Being a season and to win a championship is great. We were a little nervous in the beginning, but once we settled in ? we knew we could do it.?
Firelands (14-5, 13-1) struggled a bit early on against Buckeye?s zone defense, but freshman Keely Hall and junior Casey Morrissette provided enough offense needed to give them a 9-5 lead at the end of the first quarter. Morrissette had five of her team-high 12 points in the quarter, while Hall scored four.
?We were a little frustrated early on,? Morrissette said. ?(But) we knew we had to work together.?
