Redskins pull away from Badgers

Cuyahoga Heights outscored host Berkshire 14-5 in the fourth quarter on the way to a 42-27 conference win on Saturday.

The Redskins led 13-9 at halftime.

“It was a good road win for our girls against an aggressive Berkshire team,” Cuyahoga Heights coach Al Martin said.

Cuyahoga Heights opened the game with a 2-0 advantage after the first quarter.

The Redskins used five steals and forced nine Berkshire turnovers to keep the Badgers scoreless. Kelly Orlowski scored her only basket of the game in the quarter to give Cuyahoga Heights the lead.

Cuyahoga Heights converted on just one of 10 shots in the quarter while Berkshire went 0-for-6.

Brooke Wilson scored five of her game-high 20 points in the second as the Redskins extended their lead.

The Redskins heated up in the third with Wilson scoring four points from the field and four from the free throw line. She added six free throws in the fourth quarter and finished the day 13-of-17 from the line.

McKayla Spicer, who finished the game with 12 points, hit a pair of 3-pointer in the second half for the Redskins. Mia Spicer scored six points and Tori Santiago added two.

“Brooke Wilson played a great second half,” Martin said. “She scored 15 of her 20 points after intermission and had four offensive rebounds and three steals in the second half. McKayla shot well for the second straight game.”

Madison Chapman led Berkshire with 11 points. Lydia Kastor added five and Mollee Chapman and Alyssa Schafer both finished with four. Grace Lillibridge pitched in with three points for the Badgers. Shae DeLong led Berkshire with eight rebounds and Kayla Dingman finished with three steals.

Cuyahoga Heights improved to 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the Chagrin Valley Conference Valley Division. Berkshire dropped to 3-2, 0-2.
