Rochester Loses to Imani Christian 78-41

Imani Christian had a big advantage with their rebounding and speed , plus they kept the defense up all game not taking any chances with the very talented Rochester team that did not look like a playoff team a few weeks ago but had just beat union on their last game of the section A. so  you can’t blame Imani to come out strong and not give the Rams a chance to get going.

Freedom Lady Bulldogs Dial Up Big Late Fourth Quarter Comeback To Advance 45 – 41

Freedom didn’t waste no time getting on the score board with a bucket and  the lead, as Julz Mobrbacher passed the ball  on the give and go to Morgan Keller for the first points and the lead. That was the offensive for the first quarter, the Bulldogs were trailing 7 to 6 after one. With Mohrbacher getting into foul trouble in the second quarter and and the Freedom team turning the ball over giving Chartiers  all they needed to keep Freedom at bay. The first half Freedom shot one for five from the line, and started to fall away from the Buccaneers, a couple back to back baskets from keller to get the game to 17 -13 with 2:54 left in the second looked good but the Buccaneers broke away to the half with a 23 -14 lead.  The third quarter Chartiers hit nothing but threes in the third quarter and went in to the fourth quarter with a 32-22  lead .In the Fourth Quarter Olivia Henderson brought the somewhat tense Freedom crowd to life with a loud roar when she sank a 3 pointer to get the Bulldogs to within five and they all came alive. In the Fourth quarter Julz Mohrbacher playing with four fouls was taking over the game leading her team up and down the court , they played magnificently and that’s what they needed to do, what a great team effort to get the lead 38 -36 and went into overtime tied 40 -40. The 4 minute overtime was mostly defense but it was a very exciting victory for the Freedom Bulldogs.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Curry is the new inside linebackers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Curry replaces Jerry Olsavsky. Olsavsky was not retained by the Steelers after more than 20 years with the organization as a player and coach. Olsavsky’s role diminished in 2022 after the Steelers brought in Brian Flores as a senior defensive assistant. Flores left Pittsburgh recently to become the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings. Curry spent the last four years working in various roles for the Seattle Seahawks, including assistant defensive line/defensive ends coach in 2022.
