“They get her the ball, we’re going to foul,” a diplomatic Beavercreek coach Ed Zink said after discovering Centerville was 17 of 27 from the free throw line while Beavercreek was 12 of 17. “Were there some questionable calls? Maybe. (But) Coffee’s a heck of a player. First half we did a real nice job on her.”
When Centerville coach Adam Preifer ordered a large Coffee. Centerville (7-3, 2-0 GWOC Central) pounded the ball inside regularly and Coffee responded with eight of Centerville’s 12 points.
