The McClain High School Lady Tigers opened South Central Ohio League play with a 46-42 loss Saturday night against the Wilmington High School Hurricane.

Beth Montgomery, who was 4 for 5 from the free throw line, had 16 to lead McClain while Makenzie Montavon had 12.

Malea Montavon, who finished with 8 points came right out of the blocks with a 3-pointer that sparked the Tigers to a 9-0 run at the start of the game. It wasn’t until a little over 1:30 left in the quarter that the Hurricane was able to score its first points.

After getting off to a slow start, Wilmington managed to take the lead (18-17) with 3:40 left in the second quarter.

Both teams came out of the locker room ready to go at the start of the second half but forced turnovers and excellent ball movement gave Wilmington a 10-0 surge at the end of the period that allowed them to take the lead 34-32 with one period remaining.

McClain tied the game early in the fourth and lead changes were numerous in the quarter until Wilmington’s Faith Sanderson hit a 3-pointer with less than 3:00 to play.

A steal and layup along with a 3 pointer from Wilmington took their lead to 46-40. Montgomery added 2 points late in the game but it wasn’t enough to overcome the 6-point deficit.

WHS took the win at 46-42.
