Wednesday’s game was the first time in nine games the Cavs had its entire team together due to illness or injury.

Holton’s return was a welcome addition for Coach Blue.

“There’s no question what she adds to our basketball team when we’re all together.”

Alyssa Oates led the scoring with 12 points, Bri Dawes added 11 and Holton popped in another 10.

“We were able to cause some turnovers and were able to outscore (Ironton) in the second quarter 15-4” which gave Blue’s Chillicothe squad a 27-15 halftime lead.

The Lady Cavs improved to 7-6 with the win and will resume SEOAL play Saturday with league leader Jackson (13-1/5-1). The day begins at 1:00pm with the JV’s and the Varsity plays about 2:30pm.

The Cavs played at Ironton in December for the Tigers' Holiday Invitational.

Summer Finley led the Cavs with a 389 series.

The Boys (8-1) and Girls (4-5) will travel to Logan Wednesday for a 6pm battle with the Chieftains.

The Chillicothe Girls Basketball team will host former SEOAL foe Ironton Wednesday night. The Lady Cavs are 6-6, Ironton is 2-12.

The Cavs Wrestlers will host a Tri-Match with crosstown rival Unioto and Wellston Thursday night. The Cavs haven’t been on the mat since December 29^th when they placed 7^th out of 17 teams in the Gallia Coaches Corner at Gallia Academy.

That day, sophomore Jacob Price placed 2^nd in the 132 class. Four other Cavaliers managed 4^th place finishes, freshman Jacob Johansen (138lbs), freshman Cristian Collins (160lbs), junior Mike Williams (220lbs) and freshman Tom Dunn (285lbs).

Chillicothe fell to Logan 55-39 in their home battle with the Chieftains Saturday night.

The Cavs took an 8-6 lead midway through the first period on a bucket by Alyssa Oates, but then Logan used an 8-0 run to go up 14-8 and didn’t look back.

The Chieftains used full court pressure and a quick passing game to go ahead 25-14 at the half.

Logan forced 12 turnovers and shot 70% from the field while Chillicothe managed just eight points in the
second and third quarters.

Coach Shawn Blue said after the game, “… they should shoot 70% when they were hitting layups, and that was due to our defense.”

Blue acknowledged the Cavs are still learning to develop the basketball savvy to play the way they need to.
“We’re 5-0 in games decided by six points or less.” Add to it the Cavs were winless last year and have a lot of kids who just haven’t been in competitive situations before this year.

Hence, the learning continues.

Meanwhile, Logan ended a four game losing streak to improve to 7-6 overall and 4-2 in the SEOAL. Brooke Simons scored 14 points to lead the Logan scoring, while Ashley Frasure chipped in 13.

Kayla Keener had 14 points in the second half to pace the Cavs and Bri Dawes was the only other player in double-figures with 11. Kaylee Wright (5pts), Alyssa Oates (6pts, 8rbs, 3 blks), Mindy Williams (2pts) and Nicole Camponeschi (1pt) combined for the Cavs’ other 14 points.

Chillicothe (6-6/2-4) will play former SEOAL foe Ironton this Wednesday night at Hatton Memorial Gymnasium.

The team was healthier than early in the week. Several Lady Cavs have battled illnesses to several players and remain without Jenna Holton for an ndetermined time following an appendectomy.
