Surprising Pattonsburg has won their fourth out of their last six, their latest at the expense of Stewartsville/Osborn for third place at the OSHS Tournament Friday. They outworked and outhustled the Wildcards to build up a lead of as much as 15 before the Wildcards mounted a frantic rally in the fourth before coming short 38-33.
The Wildcards led 6-5 in the first quarter after Addie Jackson’s pullup with 57 seconds left, but after a two minute defensive standoff to start the second quarter, Kinsley Johnson took on three Wildcard defenders and scored to take the lid off the basket. Cheyenne Miller added a steal and then got behind the OSHS defense as Addie Iddings got her the ball to make it 11-6. The Panthers were swarming and crashing the boards at will at one point, with Jayden Goble, who led the team with 14 boards, getting a sixth chance putback to make it 13-6.
Wildcard sparkplug Rylie Squire hit a 3-pointer and Laine Downs a putback to cut it to 13-11, but Kinsley Johnson drove and found Annabelle Gardner backdoor, and Jayden Goble got her second putback of the quarter to make it 17-11 at the half.
Addy Ramos hit a 3-pointer to cut it to 19-18 in the third, but Kinsley Johnson knocked down a shot in the high post with defenders draped all over her and Addie Iddings hit a 3-pointer after Annabelle Gardner had crashed into the stage to save a ball from going out and Cheyenne Miller pushed it up the floor.
The avalanche continued as Addie Iddings found Gardner backdoor again, Iddings hit an NBA triple, and Kinsley Johnson drove and threw up a one-handed push shot that went in to make it 31-18 after three.
Johnson scored off a drive to start the fourth to make it 33-18, but then the Panthers started trying to do too much on offense and Addy Ramos’ guarded three was enough to ignite the OSHS crowd. As the turnovers started to mount, Ramos hit two free throws to cut it to 33-23 and then she jumped a pass to cut it to 33-25.
Addie Iddings restored order with a 3-pointer, but Addie Jackson scored three straight and Ramos got loose again for three to make it 36-31 with 2:08 left. The Wildcards had fouls to give, which meant they could afford to be aggressive.
After the Wildcards missed two shots that would have made it two points, Pattonsburg was finally able to get on the line and Jayden Goble and Cheyenne Miller hit free throws down the stretch to hold off the Wildcards.
