Bishop O’Dowd looked to point guard Savannah Jones to build a lead and then help hold off a Moreau Catholic comeback in the NCS Division II girls title game.
The dominant player was Savannah Jones, a 5-foot-4 inch junior who considers herself a facilitator but led all scorers with 25 points. Jones is the steadying figure on a team that started three freshmen. Two of those freshmen were also in double figures — Lizzy Quinteros with 13 point and Devin Cosgriff with 11. Senior Nya Greenwood, a senior, also had 11 for the Dragons.
The Mariners, who trailed by as many as 16 points in the second half, somehow scrambled to within 47-41 with 6:11 to play before O’Dowd reasserted itself and closed out the game.O’Dowd led 17-12 after the first quarter and 34-22 at halftime and then built on that lead in the early third quarter, leading by as much as 40-24 and 46-30. Moreau, particularly early on, had lots of good looks at the basket but couldn’t convert, which the climb that much more difficult.
When Thomas scored for Moreau to make it 47-41, Jones countered with a basket and Greenwood with a layup to put O’Dowd up 51-41. It was the beginning of a run that saw the Dragons get theier lead back up to 15 when Quinteros buried a 3-pointer off a feed from Jones with 3:56 to play.
