Girls Basketball Ends Season with Loss to Toledo Start...

The Fremont Ross Little Giants saw their season come to a close with a 46-29 loss to the Toledo Start Spartans. Despite falling earlier in the season to the Spartans in a decisive defeat, the Little Giants came out determined to execute their game plan—and for the first half, they did just that.

Fremont Ross slowed down Start’s fast-paced offense with a well-structured zone defense that proved difficult for the Spartans to pe*****te. This defensive effort kept the game within reach, and the Little Giants took a narrow 16-14 lead into the halftime break.

However, the start of the third quarter proved costly for Fremont Ross. A series of mistakes led to easy transition baskets for the Spartans, who took advantage of the momentum shift. By the end of the third quarter, the Little Giants found themselves trailing by nine points. Despite their best efforts to claw back into the game, they were unable to cut into the deficit, and Start pulled away for the victory.

Ava Jones led the offensive charge for Fremont Ross with 10 points, while Jazmin Heidleburg, Camila Sanchez, and Lanae’ Tucker each contributed five.

The loss also marked the end of the high school careers for seniors Jazmin Heidleburg, Lanae’ Tucker, Maylin DeWalt, and Lyndi Wolf, who leave behind a legacy of dedication and leadership for the program.

While the season came to a disappointing end, the Little Giants showcased resilience and growth throughout the year, setting the foundation for the future of the program.

The Rivalry is Alive and Well: Fremont Ross Rallies to Defeat Sandusky...

This past Saturday, the storied rivalry between Fremont Ross and Sandusky took center stage once again, reminding everyone in attendance that the competitive fire burns as strong as ever. The evening was filled with thrilling moments, heartbreak, and ultimately, a dramatic comeback that sent the Fremont faithful into a frenzy.

The night began with the freshman and junior varsity games setting the tone for the varsity showdown. The freshman squad battled hard but fell in overtime, while the JV team saw an early lead slip away in the final minutes, giving Sandusky victories at both the sub-varsity levels.

The varsity game, however, delivered a spectacle worthy of the rivalry’s history. Sandusky came out firing on all cylinders, building an early lead that only grew throughout the first half. By halftime, the Little Giants found themselves in a daunting 18-point deficit, leaving many to wonder if they could mount a comeback.

But Fremont Ross refused to back down. The Little Giants came out of the locker room with a renewed defensive intensity, forcing turnovers and capitalizing on their offensive possessions. Shots that failed to fall in the first half started to drop, and as the third quarter came to a close, the deficit had been cut significantly, bringing the home crowd to life.

The energy in the gym reached a fever pitch as the fourth quarter unfolded. With just over a minute remaining, Dekentre Hardin drilled a clutch three-pointer to give Fremont Ross its first lead of the night. The final minute saw three lead changes, each basket intensifying the roar of the crowd. Clutch free throws from Hardin and Lee extended the Little Giants’ lead to four points with just seconds remaining. A desperate last-second shot from the Blue Streaks missed its mark, sealing a thrilling victory for Fremont Ross on senior night.

This emotional win not only secured bragging rights over their fiercest rival but also provided the Little Giants with a surge of confidence as they head into sectional play on Thursday. If Saturday’s performance was any indication, this team has the resilience and firepower to make some noise in the postseason.

Little Giants Edge Lorain in Thrilling Finish...

The Fremont Ross boys basketball team bounced back in dramatic fashion Tuesday night, securing a heart-stopping road victory over Lorain. After suffering two tough losses to Whitmer and Southview last week, the Little Giants found themselves on the right side of a thriller, pulling off a last-second 57-56 win.

The contest was tightly contested from start to finish, with neither team gaining a significant advantage. Lorain held a slim lead at halftime, but the second half continued to be a back-and-forth battle, with both teams exchanging baskets and defensive stops.

The final ten seconds provided all the drama. With the score tied, Michael Stover powered his way to the rim and converted a clutch layup, giving the Little Giants a 55-53 lead with just five seconds remaining. However, Lorain quickly pushed the ball down the court, and with fouls to give, Ross attempted to stop the play before a shot could be taken. A controversial call resulted in a continuation and an and-one opportunity for Lorain, which they converted to reclaim the lead, 56-55, with just 2.1 seconds left.

Coach Cahill immediately called a timeout, drawing up a last-second inbounds play. Off a series of screens, Dekentre Hardin found space to catch and fire a desperation three as time expired. The shot didn’t go down, but Hardin was fouled on the attempt, sending him to the line for three free throws with no time on the clock. The pressure was high, but Hardin remained calm, sinking the first two shots to give Ross the one-point victory.

With the win, the Little Giants improve to 11-8 on the season and will look to carry the momentum into their next matchup as they host Springfield at home this Friday.
