Fairmont advances to regional final
FAIRBORN — Holly Carey scored 15 points and Cassie Sant added 13 points, nine rebounds and six assists to help the Fairmont High School girls basketball team top Princeton 49-41 in a Division I regional semifinal on Tuesday, March 9, at the Nutter Center.
The Firebirds (21-2) advanced to the regional final for the second straight year, in large part because of offensive production from Carey and Sant, key ball-handling from freshman point guard Chelsea Welch and Princeton’s struggles from behind the 3-point line (7-of-24).
Fairmont led 24-20 at halftime and improved its advantage to 35-25 after three quarters, in part because Sant (the University of Dayton recruit who was held scoreless in the first half) scored nine straight points to end the quarter.
Against constant pressure bringing the ball up the floor, Welch steadily got the Firebirds into their offensive sets while adding six points, three steals and two assists in the best all-around performance of the game.
Princeton finished the season 21-3.
Fairmont will play the winner of the upcoming Butler vs. Walnut Hills regional semifinal (the teams are warming up now) in the regional final at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Nutter Center. The Firebirds will attempt to advance to the state tournament for the first time in school history.

Someone needs to teach Mr. Nagel some journalism basics ….. you don’t have to say “first time in school history.” By saying “first time” and leaving it at that it’s a given that it’s the first time ….. period. Oh well. It’s Dayton.
