DOVER – They’ve made history.
Sparked
by some intense first-half defense and senior Mandi Johnson’s perfect
third quarter, the Crawfordsville girls basketball team won their first
Indiana High School Athletic Association sectional championship in
school history Saturday night.
Johnson scored 26 points,
including 19 in the third quarter, and Class 3A No. 6 Crawfordsville
earned a 52-32 win over Sagamore Athletic Conference rival Danville in
the IHSAA Western Boone Sectional.
“It feels awesome,” said
Johnson, who went 12-of-15 from the field and 4-of-6 from the
free-throw line. “I don’t know what to say except I’m very excited.”
Crawfordsville
(21-2) advances to the Mount Vernon (Fortville) Regional, where the
Athenians will play Class 3A No. 12 Batesville (21-1). Batesville won
the Batesville Sectional with a 47-35 victory over Greensburg on
Saturday.
After picking up two first-quarter fouls and sitting
on the bench for most of the first half, Johnson erupted in the third
quarter.
She went a perfect 8-for-8 from the field and 3-for-3
from the free-throw line, scoring all of the Athenians’ 19 points in
the quarter.
In fact, Johnson scored 24-straight second-half points to push Crawfordsville’s lead to 19 midway through the fourth quarter.
Crawfordsville coach Darren Haas said she and senior Lexi Stevens (eight points) stole the show.
“They
absolutely stole the show,” he said. “Mandi was electric in the second
half. She was absolutely awesome. No one could stop her. Lexi is just
an amazing player.”
Crawfordsville dominated with its defense
again. They didn’t allow the Warriors (10-11) to hit a first-quarter
field goal and held them to just three points. Danville went 0-of-7
from the field and scored all three points off free throws.
They
shot just 4-of-21 (19.0 percent) in the first half and struggled,
especially with senior point guard Molly Stewart picking up three
first-half fouls and spending most of her time on the bench.
She led the Warriors with nine points, while junior Amy Kramer added eight.
