Maryland women's center signee Malina Howard has finished her high school career on top.
Howard scored 14 points Saturday night to help Twinsburg to a 57-51 over Kettering Fairmont in the Ohio Division I championship game. It was Twinsburg's second straight state title.
The Firebirds pulled within 36-34 with 6:07 left, but Twinsburg grabbed the momentum by going to 6-4 senior/Maryland recruit Malina Howard, who scored two quick backdoor buckets off Leah Fechko assists to push the Tigers in front, 40-34. A layup and three-point play by Morrissette improved Twinsburg's lead to 45-38.
