WATERFORD - High seas and swirling winds are a sailor's worst nightmare.
On the basketball court, turnovers can become that perfect storm that wrecks any team's night.
But despite 13 second-half turnovers, over half of them in a four-minute stretch of the third quarter, the Waterford Wildcats rode the swells and weathered the storm to hold off the Belpre Golden Eagles for a 56-50 win at Waterford Elementary Friday evening.

Belpre’s Bryce Pittenger, right, maneuvers past Waterford’s Wyatt Porter for a layup during the third quarter in Waterford Friday. Waterford won, 56-50.
"It (turnovers) kept it closer than we would've liked," said Waterford's Wyatt Porter.
Those miscues in the third allowed the Golden Eagles to climb back from a six- point halftime deficit to tie the game at 39 with 57 seconds to play in the third, with momentum riding on their side.
But a clutch basket from Porter stemmed the tide, and Waterford would rattle off nine of 11 points to pull away and never look back.

The drives and cuts to the basket for points nearly weren't enough to keep the Wildcats from their second straight loss this week, as the Golden Eagles clawed for all they were worth to keep the game within reach.
For the fourth time on the season, however, Belpre found itself trailing at the break. And twice those deficits have been too much to overcome.
Those close plays helped Belpre overcome miscues and propel the offense down the stretch, as Belpre didn't hit consecutive buckets after Nick Therriault's bucket tied it in the third.
"We got in trouble, but we weathered the storm," said Waterford boys' basketball coach Tom Simms.
Shriver's 3-pointer off an assist from Cody Paxton put Belpre ahead 48-41 with 5:26 to play, ending the streak of nine of 11 points for the Wildcats.
While the Golden Eagles would answer with a bucket from Pittenger in the paint, who along with Therriault accounted for 43 of Belpre's 50 points, the Wildcats would never lead by less than four again.
