Piketon survives OT thriller against Adena
Redstreaks outscore Adena 20-6 in extra period
Huntington beats Unioto
Magill scores 16 in win
After 32 minutes of play, Piketon and Adena were tied at 62-62 and heading to overtime. A much smaller Adena team was much improved on the boards compared to their round-one loss to Piketon. A big key on the boards was the ability to get Evan Legg in foul trouble. In the first meeting, Legg was able to get to the paint and breakdown the Adena defense making it impossible to deal with Piketon's size on the glass. In Friday's thriller, Adena was able to contain Piketon's fine guard play and that put them in a position to steal one on the road; however, the extra period saw Buddy Barnes foul out and Piketon take over. The Redstreaks outscored Adena20-6 in the extra period to secure the win and leave them two wins shy of an SVC title.

Jordan Brabson scored 18 of his team-high 23 points after halftime and Keenan Brush added 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead Piketon. Cody Smith chipped in 14 points.

For Adena in the loss, Clay Roll scored a game-high 28 points. Zach Skaggs added 14 points while Barnes scored 11 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
Staying mathematically alive in a bid to defend their Scioto Valley Conference championship, the Huntington Huntsmen used a big second half to blow past the Unioto Shermans 46-33 Friday night in the Huntington Hills.

The Huntsmen (9-7, 7-4 SVC) trail first-place Piketon by two losses, and would need a lot of help, but, at least mathematically they are still in the hunt.

Craig Magill, playing with three fouls for most of the second half, rallied Huntington in the second half, helping erase a 20-14 deficit. Magill finished with 16 points. Corey Cottrill added 10 and Kyle Deal six.

For Unioto (1-15, 1-11 SVC), Quentin Detillion led with 12 points and eight rebounds. Cody Strange scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds.
Zane Trace stays in race with win over PV
WF wins big to keep pace with Piketon Gabe Haynes scored 20 points and Kirk Maxwell added 17 as ZT jumped out early and never looked back. The Pioneers will now need to win out - including a must win against WF next week - and get help from Southeastern or Unioto against Piketon to grab a share of this year's title.
Seven Westfall seniors played their final game in The Dome Friday night and went out on the friendly side of the scoreboard. Tyler Kritsch scored 16 points and grabbed eight rebounds and Tyler Cobb added 15 points and nine rebounds. Senior floor general Bryant Gibson scored 10 points, dished out 10 assists, and recorded four steals while classmate Tyler Burleson scored 13 points.

Westfall now faces three straight tough road games with Zane Trace, Huntington, and Adena - three games that Westfall will probably have to have to share the title with Piketon.

In the loss for SE, Devin Willard scored a game-high 20 points and pulled down a game-high 17 rebounds.
