S p or t s Page D3 WWW.MEDINA-GAZETTE.COM BOYS BASKETBALL: COPLEY 57, HIGHLAND 53 BOYS BASKETBALL: MEDINA 52, STRONGSVILLE 50 Tourney preview Bees slug out slow-paced win Albert Grindle The Gazette STRONGSVILLE — A methodical, half- court game was a well-timed change of pace for Medina’s boys basketball team with the tournament just two weeks away. Corey Tripp and Jajuan Jackson were up to the challenge Friday, as the guards led the Bees to a 52-50 Greater Cleveland Conference victory over Strongsville that wasn’t nearly as close as the final score indicated after the Mustangs (9-8, 1-7) scored 27 points in the fourth quarter. Medina (13-5, 7-2) led 39-23 after three and allowed a rally by making only 7-of-14 free throws in the fourth. Strongs- ville never had the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead, as Justin Wypasek made a 3-pointer with less than five sec- onds remaining and Tripp alertly never attempted to inbound — the Mustangs were out of timeouts — allowing the clock to run out to the confu- sion of some Strongsville players and fans. “It was great to pull it out, and it was really good for our kids,” coach Chris Hassinger said. “To have the opportunity to win by a couple possessions is Tripp what you want. “Our kids are excited about winning. We’re tak- ing every situation as a tournament game. We’re not worried by how much we win.” Coming off a 35-point triple-double against Brunswick, Tripp finished Jackson with 25 points on 7-of-11 field goals and 11-of-15 free throws to go with other team highs of seven rebounds and four assists. Jackson added eight points — all in the first half — while Chris- tian Howard had five points, six rebounds and three assists. No other Medina player had more than six points, but that wasn’t a big deal on RON SCHWANE / GAZETTE a night in which the Bees held the Mus- Highland’s Rob Huttner puts up a shot against Copley’s Caleb Laurich. tangs to 10-of-36 shooting (.278) through three quarters.
