BASKETBALL
Boy's Varsity (18-2, 9-1) While the conference title was already wrapped up, Medina put the finishing touches on an incredible regular season defeating Lakewood Monday night 62-42.  Jake Kinsey, who scored a career-high 11 points and a team-best 11 rebounds, jumpstarted the offense in the first half and gave the Bees the jolt they needed.  In the second half, Tyler Peters (17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists) scored 9 of his 17 points in the final frame.  Kenny Kaminski rounded out double-figure scorers for Medina, finishing with 12 points and 8 rebounds.
 
The Bees earned a "bye" the first round so tournament action begins this Friday. With a win, Medina would play Wed., March 10 @ 6 pm against the winner of Amherst and North Olmsted.  GO BEES!!!
