Fairmont falls 61-55 to Toledo Waite in D-I state semifinal
COLUMBUS — Toledo Waite, led by Ms. Basketball Natasha Howard, withstood a spirited fourth-quarter rally by Fairmont and won a girls basketball Division I state basketball semifinal at OSU’s Schottenstein Center on Friday, March 19, 61-55.
Howard, headed to Florida State University, scored 22 points and added three blocks. But she drew her fourth personal foul trying to defend a nifty inside move by Cassie Sant and with 1:00 finally left the game.
Sant led the Firebirds with 25 points and was particularily effective in the second half, scoring 17 after drawing a fourth personal foul on Howard with 1:00 left in the third quarter.
Fairmont trailed by as much as nine points in the second half, but pulled within 56-55 with less than 2:00 remaining on another inside power move by Sant. But Waite ended the game on a 5-0 run to earn a spot in Saturday night’s championship against the Canton McKinley/Reynoldsburg winner.
Holly Carey added 12 points for Fairmont, but was also saddled to the bench after she was tagged with three personal fouls in just three seconds of the second quarter.

Appreciate you’re being there to report the game, Marc. At 7:11 pm, it’d be nice to have at least a third quarter score. Just typing the numbers would be enough……
