Frontcourt Leads Bath Over Wapakoneta

WAPAKONETA — Wapakoneta had a plan, but Bath had other plans. In the Wildkittens’ 46-27 girls basketball win over Wapakoneta on Thursday night, the Redskins focused their defense on Bath’s backcourt and held leading scorer Heidi Craddock to two points. But Bath (10-4, 4-1 Western Buckeye League) got 38 of its 46 points from its frontcourt players, led by Bailey Dackin (14 points, 4 rebounds) and Elysabette Andrews (10 points, 8 rebounds). Wapakoneta (10-4, 4-1 WBL) got 13 points from Lexi Jacobs, but the Redskins struggled offensively for the last three quarters after jumping out to a 10-8 lead after one quarter. The Redskins had only four field goals in the last 24 minutes of the game and one of those came on a 60-foot throw by Jacobs just before the halftime buzzer. Bath had a 29-17 lead by halftime and led by as many as 20 points in the fourth quarter. “I thought our players did a really good job of finding our big kids when they had opportunities to score with the match-ups we were getting sometimes.
