SCIOTO VALLEY CONFERENCE = BOYS BASKETBALL = Tuesday, January 20th

Huntington upsets Piketon

Huntington was able to keep the tempo slow for most of the game Tuesday night as the SVC's top defensive team held the high-powered Piketon offense in check during a 55-45 upset victory. Piketon was able to get the tempo faster for a short time in the third period; however, a Huntington timeout sparked a short run for the Huntsmen that left Piketon in serious foul trouble entering the fourth quarter. On the offensive end, Huntington had great balance. Derick Clark scored 15 points and pulled down 13 boards while Drew Trusty also scored 15 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Corey Cottrill scored 11 points and had 10 rebounds and Craig Magill scored 10 points and dished out 5 assists. For Piketon, Jordan Brabson and Cody Smith both scored 11 points and Evan Legg added 10 points.

Adena beats PV Roll scores 26 in win

Clay Roll continued his dominate scoring Tuesday night when he dropped 26 points on PV in a 63-50 victory. Zach Skaggs added 13 points and seven rebounds for the Warriors. In the loss, Matt Workman scored 24 points and pulled down 12 rebounds. Workman was the only Bearcat in double-figures.

Mustangs improve to 8-1 in SVC to take top spot all alone

Unioto played the Mustangs tough for three quarters trailing only 13-10 after one, 22-15 at the break, and 34-26 after three, but a 21-11 fourth quarter helped Westfall put the Shermans away for good. The win puts Westfall all alone in first place and the Mustangs will welcome Piketon Friday night. For Westfall in the win, Bryant Gibson scored 18 points. Tyler Kritsch added 10 points and 11 rebounds while Tyler Cobb scored six points, grabbed eight rebounds, and recorded six steals. In the loss for Unioto, Alex Kimsey continued his solid senior season with 15 points, 14 rebounds, and five blocks. Quentin Detillion added 10 points and nine rebounds.

After Southeastern beat Zane Trace earlier this season, the second round was all Zane Trace as the Pionners rolled to a 26-point victory. Kirk Maxwell led ZT with 14 points, eight rebounds, and four assists while D.J. Merriman scored 12 points and pulled down seven boards.
