Lady Dragons drop battle with Central

ERIE – Region 6 has turned into an all out 4-team battle for the top spot.

Warren handed Central Tech a 15-point loss on its home floor on Jan. 14 and this time it was the Lady Falcons turn, as they earned a 45-32 win over the Lady Dragons on Thursday.

“We basically swapped scores,” said Warren coach Lisa LaVan. “It’s always tough playing up here and we didn’t do ourselves any favors. Our offensive rebounding wasn’t where it should be; second-chance points didn’t really happen.”

Jamiya Eaddy scored a game-high 16 points to lead Central Tech, while Margo Loutzenhiser led Warren with 11.

Maddie Loutzenhiser added seven rebounds and Autumn Hultberg four steals for WAHS.

It was the second straight loss for the Lady Dragons (12-3 overall, 6-3 Region 6), proving just how tough Region 6 is.

Warren and Central, along with Harbor Creek, Fort LeBoeuf and McDowell have all been jockeying for position, with LeBoeuf currently holding the top spot with just one region loss.

“Thank god we took care of business early in the season against them,” LaVan said. “It’s really a battle for the top four spots in the region. We just have to keep making our adjustments and getting better.”

The Lady Dragons did win the JV game, 35-23 behind 11 points from Taylor Childress and eight by Morgan Lupole.

Warren returns to action on Saturda, going out of Region when they host Bradford (1 p.m. JV, varsity to follow).
