Fairmont falls to Princeton in district final
DAYTON — Fairmont kept the quick Princeton offense in neutral for the first half.
Then the third quarter started.
Princeton, last season’s Division I state runner-up, outscored the Firebirds 27-14 in the third quarter after leading by just one at halftime to win the district championship 59-44 on Saturday, March 13, at UD Arena.
Fairmont finished the season 15-9, but not before leading the 19-4 Vikings in the second quarter and trailing 21-20 at halftime. But, with a mix of quick points and Fairmont turnovers (the Firebirds committed nine in the quarter), Princeton took control in the third period and moved on to the regional semifinals.
Fairmont was further hurt when two key players — guards Mark Shadowens and Sherman Wilkinson — each picked up a fourth foul with more than six minutes left in the third quarter.
Adam Westbeld led Fairmont with 12 points, and Matt Lee added 10 while Kevin Sharick combined six points with 10 rebounds.
Ohio State recruit Jordan Sibert scored 26 points on 8-of-15 shooting for Princeton, and Darrien had 13 points and 10 boards.
Halftime: By slowing the game down and limiting second-chance opportunities, Fairmont has stayed close with favored Princeton and trails this Division I district final 21-20 at halftime at UD Arena.
But two key players, guards Mark Shadowens and Sherman Wilkinson, each have three fouls, and Princeton’s Jordan Sibert, an Ohio State recruit, has collected 12 points.
Trailing 11-8 after the first quarter, Fairmont (15-8) scored six straight points to go ahead 14-11 before Princeton (19-4) quickened the pace and scored on seven straight possessions to end the half.
Adam Westbeld and Kevin Sharick each have five points for Fairmont, which has held Princeton to 6-of-19 shooting, including 1-of-7 from 3-point range.
