By Alan Brads
The Cedarville Lady Jackets basketball team fell to Wayne State 78-68 in their home opener.

By: Maggie Fipps
Every coach adage, every cliche, sounds the same: ‘it doesn’t matter how you start, it matters how you finish.’
Sometimes, that finishing moment can erase the past. With 7 minutes left in the 4th quarter, senior guard Paige Garr glided around her defender, the ball lazily rolled into the net, and simultaneously the penalty whistle blew. Instantly, it seemed that the first three quarters of struggles would be washed away. The team gathered under the basket, certain ...
Lady Jackets’ win over Erie Storm, gaining ground in GMAC.
by Jonathan Snyder
The Cedarville Lady Jackets continue to turn their season around with an 83-77 win over the Lake Erie Storm.
The Lady Jackets displayed fluid ball movement in the 1st quarter, getting out to a 26-13 lead thanks to a 12-3 run to round it out. The Lady Jackets' stingy defense only allowed 4 points in the paint.
The Lady Jackets would keep Lake Erie at arm’s length for the rest of the first half, but the Storm’s three-point shooting would close the gap a bit in the ...

Hillsdale (11-10, 8-7) sits in fourth place, which is the target to host a G-MAC quarterfinal game, but only lead Cedarville and Findlay by half a ...
