BURTON—Madison’s Zoey Deligianis used a late and-one to send Wednesday’s Chagrin Valley Conference game into overtime, where her Lake Division All-Stars pulled out a 68-67 win over the Metro Division All-Stars at Berkshire High School.
Deligianis added a pair of free throws and Geneva’s Delaney Marrison scored two points in the overtime to secure the Lake Division’s win.
The Lake All-Stars jumped out to a 36-22 halftime lead behind six points from Marrison and Geneva’s Brooke Richmond, who drained two first-half 3-pointers.
Madison’s Claire Wakim scored five points in the first 20 minutes and Jefferson’s Mia Contenza, Perry’s Victoria Lynch, and Edgewood’s Katie McCollister each recorded four points in the first half. Harvey’s Alyssia Franklin drained a three to spark the Lake squad.
Down but not out, the Metro All-Stars went to work in the second half as Trinity’s De’Oshania Bennett and Brooklyn’s Ashlyn Dyson found their shot.
Both sharpshooters were held scoreless in the first half, but Bennett closed out the game with 14 points in the second half on four 3-pointers and Dyson scored 11 in the final 20 with three 3-pointers, including the game-tying three.
Behind Bennett and Dyson, the Metro All-Stars not only erased a double-digit deficit, but they went on to take a two-possession lead before the Lake All-Stars rallied behind Deligianis to force overtime.
Deligianis finished the game with 12 points, Richmond contributed to the win with 11, and Wakim also scored in double figures with 10 points.
Bennett and Dyson scored 14 and 11 points, respectively, for the Metro Division. Fairview’s Gabby Davenport scored eight.
