The turnover differential is often one of the first things coaches point to following a loss. The more turnovers you have, the harder it is to win. That was certainly the case at Tidioute Charter Friday night. TCCS finished with more turnovers (32) than points scored in a 71-29 loss to North Clarion. “Turnovers were at a high tonight and you can’t have turnovers against North Clarion,” TCCS coach Christy Valentine said. “Bad passes turn into fast breaks and easy buckets for such a strong team. (Our) 32 turnovers tonight were mostly bad passes and that won’t keep you in ...

We got a little sloppy and got in some foul trouble.” The second quarter Cotterman referred to saw the Panthers outscore Tidioute (8-5 overall, 1-1 Region ...
The Eisenhower girls methodically took care of business on Tuesday, beating Tidioute 59-34. Lydia Giannini had another double-double with 22 points and 18 rebounds, Emiley Wheeler had 14 points and Lilee Renninger 10 points, eight rebounds and three steals. “A win is a win, we’ll take it,” said Eisenhower coach Mike Logue. “We looked a little tired and fouled a lot, which allowed the game to stay close early.” Logue praised the work of Renninger, as well as Alexis Courtney. “They both had great games for us,” Logue said. “They kept us going in that rough ...
