Ironman92....Final score was Jackson 71, Unioto 45 actually.

mhs95_06.....Please know what you are talking about — or at least be specific. The report on the Marietta at Jackson girls game from Feb. 5 was in The Jackson County Times-Journal print edition and online, as it was for the Telegram.

I also emailed a copy of that box score and a few details to The Marietta Times, both Ron Johnston and Kevin Pierson. Sounds like you need to take this issue up with them. Thanks.

I will post my box score, by the way, in another post.

Grosel breaks Ironladies’ hearts

JHS loses at buzzer…again

By PAUL BOGGS

Sports Editor

With Valentine’s Day approaching, don’t expect Marietta’s Meagan Grosel to receive any cards, candy or even flowers from the Jackson High School girls basketball team.

Not after breaking the Ironladies’ hearts on Saturday.

After Logan’s Bailey Topf turned the trick in the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League opener on Dec. 4, Grosel closed the Ironladies’ home slate in similar gutwrenching fashion.

Grosel landed a buzzer-beating three-point shot from the corner on Saturday to give the visiting Tigers a thrilling 51-50 victory in a key SEOAL contest.

The loss left the Ironladies at 15-4 overall, and 7-4 in the league, which will lock up outright third place in the conference this season.

Marietta — meanwhile — moved to 16-2 overall and 9-1 in the SEOAL, and maintained its chance for at least a share of the SEOAL championship with Logan.

The Tigers traveled to Logan on Friday night with the league championship on the line for Marietta.

The Tigers are leaving the SEOAL for the East Central Ohio League after the academic year, and Grosel ended Marietta’s annual two-hour treks to Jackson with a shot that will forever be remembered.

For Marietta that is.

It’s one the Ironladies would rather forget.

But give Grosel, and the remainder of the Lady Tigers, credit for making the play at the end.

After Madison Ridout made two free throws with 8.7 seconds left for a 50-48 Ironlady edge, the Tigers tried to score with Erica Dawson driving toward the basket against limited Ironlady pressure.

But Dawson was cut off by the Ironlady defense, and passed the ball to Betsy Schramm just outside the lane, who found Grosel in the left corner.

“In the timeout, I told them (Ironladies) absolutely no threes and don’t foul. She (Grosel) made a great shot with a hand right there on her,” said Jackson coach Anna Allen. “There’s not one thing we could have done differently there. She made a clutch shot.”

Grosel, with Jackson junior Meredith Harless’ hand directly in her face, swished the shot from the corner.

The Lady Tigers celebrated wildly along their bench — with Marietta coach Scott Cozzens sprinting down the court with his fist raised in victory.

“Marietta came in and battled the entire game. They are confident in themselves and they know they are a good team. You know they are never going to give up, no matter what the score is. So hats off to them,” said Allen.

As excited as Marietta was for its win, it was a stunning setback for the Ironladies.

Their only regular-season losses, entering Saturday night’s SEOAL and regular-season finale at winless Chillicothe, were sweeps by Logan and Marietta — including Topf’s 28-foot, banked-in buzzer-beater that gave Logan the 44-42 triumph.

“Like the Logan loss, it’s a learning experience,” said Allen. “These girls have had two really tough losses at home on last-second shots. But I told them they can learn from them and get better.”

The Ironladies also lost at Marietta 54-50 on Dec. 29, and again at Logan 57-49 on Jan. 15.

In all four instances, Jackson held the lead with less than three minutes remaining.

For those into counting, the Red and White lost all four of its games by a combined 16 points.

In the two home defeats, the Ironladies led by at least eight points in the third quarter.

In Saturday’s see-saw affair, the Ironladies erased an 18-15 halftime deficit with a 14-2 run in the first 4:40 of the third period.

Jackson’s Kari Jenkins, who poured in a team-high 16 points on five field goals and 6-of-7 free throws, had four of those field goals and 3-of-3 foul shots in that stretch.

But Marietta made its comeback in the final 3:20 of the third, outscoring the Ironladies 13-3 to close the quarter and lead 33-32 heading into the last.

“It’s a game of spurts. We made a great run there in the third quarter and wish we could have kept it going,” said Allen.

But the Ironladies didn’t because of their turnovers against the Tigers’ pressure.

Jackson was guilty of 25 giveaways, but made nine in the third as part of the Tiger charge.

“We knew they were a trapping team. Any time we had the ball in the corners, they came and trapped us. We really needed and still need to take care of the basketball,” said Allen. “In a game like this, it hurts when we had as many turnovers as we did.”

The fourth quarter saw the two teams trade one-point leads until a basket by the Ironladies’ Lydia Poe with two-and-a-half minutes remaining.

Jackson led 44-41 at that point, but Marietta managed a trio of ties (44-44, 46-46 and 48-48) to set up the final 50 seconds.

Actually, it was the final 8.7.

That’s when the Ironladies appeared to play for the final shot, as Ridout drove the lane and was fouled on a close block-charge call just inside the foul line.

The call went in the Ironladies’ favor as a block on the Tigers, giving Ridout two free throws for the lead.

She hit both of the one-and-one bonus situation, setting up Marietta’s final possession which ultimately ended in Grosel’s game-winner.

Although, Dawson driving appeared as the first option for the Orange and Black.

She poured in a game-high 24 points on six total field goals, including a second-period three-pointer, and 11-of-12 free throws.

The only freebie she missed was her final.

Ali Summers added six field goals for a dozen points, including 10 counters in the second half.

She notched a double-double with a game-high 10 rebounds, and dished out four assists.

Grosel gained four steals, and scored 10 points thanks to a third-quarter deuce, two fourth-quarter free throws, and two treys.

Schramm scored five points on two field goals and a free throw, as Marietta only shot 33-percent (17-of-51), reduced by the 3-of-19 effort from three-point range.

The Ironladies — on the other hand — shot a sizzling 51-percent (18-of-35) overall, including a fiery 55-percent (17-of-31) from inside the arc.

Joining Jenkins with 16 points was Ridout, who finished with six field goals and 3-of-3 free throws.

Ridout recorded the squad’s only trifecta — from the right wing just 10 seconds into the contest.

She also secured eight rebounds.

Nicole Chapman chipped in 10 points (four field goals and 2-of-4 free throws), and nearly notched a double-double with nine boards.

Harless, Poe and Emileigh Cooper collected a field goal apiece, as Poe put in two free throws for four fourth-quarter points.

The first half was hotly-contested as well, with Jackson leading 12-8 before eight unanswered by the Tigers gave them a four-point lead (16-12).

The team statistics were almost even, as both clubs played only seven players, committed 15 fouls, and chalked up 10 assists.

The Marietta meeting marked Senior Day for two Ironady seniors — Chapman and Cooper, who have been varsity regulars since their sophomore seasons.

Afterward, Allen already talked about the Ironladies moving on with the conclusion of the regular season, which was Saturday night at Chillicothe.

“The girls come in every single day and work hard. I’m as upset as they are, I hate this loss for them, because they do come in and work so hard. They deserve to pull some of these games out,” she said. “But it’s a learning experience. No one is going to be sitting around having a pity party for ourselves, so we need to get over it.”

The Ironladies had a chance, at Chillicothe, to tie the single-season school record for most wins in a regular season with 16.

Only the 1990-91 Jackson club won 16 regular-season games.

Jackson’s junior varsity team gained a split for Saturday by winning the reserve tilt 47-28.
