CONTINENTAL — Columbus Grove scored the final five points of the second quarter to pull within three points of Continental at halftime of their Putnam County League game Tuesday night.

That run by the Bulldogs didn’t go unnoticed by Pirate coach Jaaci Carr. Carr brought that run to the attention of her players at halftime. The Pirates took note of their coaches halftime talk, then went out and played a solid third quarter.

Continental held the Bulldogs to one point in the third quarter that broke open a close game as the Pirates rolled to a 48-25 PCL win at the Don Huber Memorial Gymnasium.

The Pirates are now 1-0 in the league and 2-1 overall, while the Bulldogs are 0-1 in the league and 1-3 overall.
