After leading by only one going into the fourth, the OFA Girls Basketball team found itself in a very close, down to the wire league game on Wednesday evening. After building their lead to 9 points in the fourth, Norwich went on a 7-0 run to close the lead to only two points with 30 seconds remaining, Norwich had the basketball and a chance to tie or take the lead in the final seconds, but Owego’s Kaylee Miner came up with a clutch steal, and Rachel Merrill knocked down two huge foul shots to seal the 4 point victory.
It was the Lady Indians fifth straight victory, and the team improved their record to 7-2 overall on the season, 4-1 in league play. Great efforts were put forth by everyone, but leading the team statistically were Rachel Merrill (16 points, 14 rebounds), Emily Merrill (13 points, 12 rebounds), and Jill Silvanic (9 points, 8 rebounds).
Next up is a tough matchup on Friday, 1/10, against Chenango Valley. The game will start approximately at 7:45, in OFA’s Reppert Gymnasium.

The OFA Lady Indians jumped out to a quick first quarter lead, and never looked back, while defeating the Lady Wildcats by a score of 61-45. Led by a tenacious defensive effort that forced eight first quarter turnovers, the Lady Indians got out in transition and took advantage of some quality interior looks. Leading by double digits the entire game, the Lady Indians solidified their lead by outrebounding JC 51 to 28 for the game, and minimizing turnovers. Some fantastic individual efforts were put forth from Rachel Merrill, who finished with a game high 23 points and 25 rebounds, Jill Silvanic (16 points, 8 rebounds, 5 steals), Caitlin Watson (6 points, 7 assists), Kim Lavender (6 points, 5 steals), as well as Kaylee Miner, Vic Young, Mikayla Castellana, Coco Heitman, and Emily Merrill.

The OFA Girls Varsity Basketball team started the season in impressive fashion, with victories over Seton Catholic and Susquehanna Valley at the Kristen O’Neil Memorial Basketball Tournament in Binghamton this past weekend. On Friday evening, the Lady Indians defeated Seton Catholic by a score of 60-49. After a close, low scoring first period, the Lady Indians exploded in the second quarter by getting out in transition and getting opportunities at the foul line. They outscored the Saints 27-6 in that quarter and comfortably maintained a 20+ point lead going into the fourth quarter. The Lady Indians were led by senior Rachel Merrill (20 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals), senior Jill Silvanic (16 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals), sophomore Kim Lavender (13 points, 15 rebounds, 4 steals), and sophomore Emily Merrill (6 points, 10 rebounds).
For the final game versus Susquehanna Valley, Owego jumped out quickly in the first half behind their 1-3-1 trapping defense and held a 24 point advantage at the break, before wrapping up a 55-34 victory. Great initial defensive effort contributed to the excellent first half, as the Lady Indians outrebounded SV by 12 and created 18 deflections in the first two quarters. Leading the way individually was Jill Silvanic (21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals), Caitlin Watson (12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals), Rachel Merrill (5 assists, 4 steals), and great defensive efforts by Emily Merrill, Kaylee Miner, Kim Lavender, and Coco Heitmann.
