Fairmont wins to join Xenia, Butler at regional level
HARRISON — After watching Fairmont’s Cassie Sant put a bulging ice pack on her right shoulder last week in the Firebirds’ sectional final win, I wondered how physical she would be in the district final Saturday, March 6.
Answer: Very.
Sant led all scorers with 17 points and added nine rebounds and eight assists as Fairmont beat Miamisburg 52-32 at Harrison High School to advance to Tuesday’s Division I regional semifinal at the Nutter Center against the winner of the game happening now, Princeton vs. Sycamore.
Sant started early, scoring seven of Fairmont’s first 13 points on a layup, a three-point play and a rebound and put-back. In the second quarter, she added a 3-pointer and a left-handed layup to show off a wide skill set.
The 6-foot-2 senior and University of Dayton recruit showed no signs of the shoulder discomfort — caused when she tangled with a Springboro player under a basket last weekend — or the stress fracture in her lower right leg that bothered her early in the season.
Fairmont doesn’t have great depth — the varsity roster includes eight players — but the Firebirds do have one of the area’s best in Sant, and she showed Saturday she’s still sharp despite some physical play.

It takes a team to win a ball game not one individual. If Cassie did not have the support from the team members she could not have done what she did. I think your comments take away from a overall team effort. You want to build up Cassie fine, but she could not accomplish what she did without an overall team effort. Your article be-littles the efforts of the rest of the team.
