Cleveland Heights Girls' Lacrosse Falls to Medina, 11-10

Bees' late rally knocks off Tigers

As the Cleveland Heights girls’ lacrosse team held a three-goal lead midway through the second half against Medina, the Tigers' championship destiny appeared certain.

Unfortunately, Cleveland Heights had the No. 3 Battling Bees on the ropes only to watch it unspool from a string to a bare thread that Medina junior attacker Ellie Hudson-Heck snapped with the game-winner at 5:19.

Cleveland Heights’ Bryce Jones won the 110- and 300-meter hurdles along with a combined field event at the Ned Weingart Relays held at Cleveland Heights High School on Saturday. “Bryce Jones ended up winning the MVP of the meet,” Heights track coach Nick Continenza said. “He won the 110 hurdles first, which was a PR (personal record) for him.
