ANOTHER TITLE FOR THE MAC

You can hang another championship banner in the MAC Conference this year.

While many people around the state talk about the GCL as being Ohio's top conference, many in Western Ohio will tell you the MAC is the conference of champions. How can you say otherwise, this small school conference has produced many champions over the years. Almost every school in the conference can lay claim to a championship, while in just the past 4 seasons titles have been won in Track, Football, Cross Country, Baseball and both Girls and Boys basketball. Plus you will have 3 Boy's teams fight for a title next weekend.

Well you can give the MAC a three-peat in Girls Basketball with Minster's 44 - 33 victory over Mansfield St. Peter's in the Division IV Girls State Championship game. Minster would take an early lead and never look back.

Paula Bartlett would lead St. Peter's with 12 points and 5 boards, followed by Diana Reindl with 8 points. Shooting 26.2% for the game would not be enough to beat 25-2 Minster.

While only shooting 39.4% for the game, Minster saw Robyn Hoying take charge to score 16 points and haul in 9 rebounds in a MVP performance.

The championship is just another sign that Western Ohio is home to many great athletes and teams.
