Girls Basketball Wins Thriller
The Lady Falcons  - at full strength for the first time this year - won its second straight last night by defeating a very good Fairport Harbor team. The Falcons where down at half but turned in a strong third quarter to take the lead. The Lady Falcons were lead by its freshman phenom DarJaney Edwards with 13 Shakenna Johnson with 9,  Kaela Marable with 8, Torrie Simmons with 7, Jazmyne Darby with 5, Jerri Pollard with 4 and Deja Ligon with 1. The Falcons turned the game around in the third quarter with some solid man to man defense and timely scoring by Kaela Marable and Torrie Simmons . With its starting point guard picking up her 4th foul  late in the third quarter, the Falcons relied on their younger players such as Tiara Finley, Jazmyne Darby,and Adrianna Harris to shoulder the load on defense. They responded by holding Fairport Harbor's leading scorer to 2 points in the second half in route to another Falcons victory. The Falcons then relied on the steady guard play and rebounding from Kaea Marable and Torrie Simmons to close out the win. The Lady Falcons play at Washinton Massilon on Thursday December 6th
