DELPHOS - There was little to choose between Parkway and St. John’s Thursday night -- except for the 3-point shot
The Lady Jays drained seven -- five by Jessica Recker -- while the Panthers hit only one as Delphos won the Midwest Athletic Conference opener 48-39.

St. John’s is 3-2 overall, Parkway 0-4.

This was no mismatch, the outcome in doubt until the last two minutes of the game. The Jays had things seemingly in hand at 41-26 with the clock ticking down to end the third quarter, at which point things got really interesting.

Parkway’s Kylie Snyder heaved one in from just beyond half court at the buzzer to make it 41-29 after three.

The Jays’ first three baskets of the second quarter were all treys by Recker, then Rebekah Fischer capped it off with one of her own at 0:30 to give the home team a 27-18 halftime lead. Snyder muscled in a layup with 4:53 left in the third period to cut the margin to 32-26 but Delphos scored the next nine in a row, the last three on a Recker bomb from out front, to lead 41-26.
