“Anytime you come to Wadsworth and you win on a snowy Wednesday night, it’s a great win,” Brecksville head coach Joe Zenir said. “Wadsworth is really good. Andy Booth’s a great coach with a great staff. We just won a Wednesday league game. probably not gonna send us to the Hall of Fame for a thing of beauty, or, you know, Tom Emanski instructional video, but we survived. These kids have come a really long way.
While the Grizzlies' matchup with Twinsburg was cancelled, a win over Brecksville would have kept the Grizzlies right in the mix at the top of the SLNC, with a chance to avenge the Hudson loss coming on Saturday. “There is not a better athlete in our conference than Ashley Perdion,” Zenir said. “She’s just got a real quiet competitive streak. I think she sensed we were struggling to score. So she said, ‘You know what, I’m gonna take the ball to the basket.' And she did. She’s just such a quiet, competitive kid. She’s pretty darn good.”
“I thought we had a great start the first four minutes,” Wadsworth head coach Andy Booth said. “I thought we did a lot of things that we wanted to do, and then it seemed like we almost like we got a little taste of that success, and then we decided we’re going to just try to force that a little more. And I think they did a good job of kind of trying to take that away.”
Wadsworth did everything it could to slow the Bees down in the third quarter. The Grizzlies locked back in on defense and held Brecksville to just seven points in the period.
