FRANKLIN FURNACE —Perhaps Jerome McKinley, by making the most of his five steals on Friday night, made one of his head coach’s decisions easier.

“I sometimes wonder who I should nominate for Defensive Player of the Year off our team. You can go with Jerome (McKinley) on the ball, or Chase (Clark) in the paint, or you can go with (Kyle) Sexton,” said New Boston coach Adam Cox. “A lot of teams don’t have that luxury of me putting in 6-foot-6 (Chase Clark), 6-foot-5 (Kyle Sexton), 6-1 (Jerome McKinley), 6-1 (Tanner Voiers) and some length and rebounding pressure and putting Jerome on the ball. It allows us to put a defensive lineup in the game. Every time we did, we got a stop.”

By getting defensive, especially late and spearheaded by the sophomore McKinley, the visiting Tigers took one of their biggest steps towards clinching their first Southern Ohio Conference Division I boys basketball championship in 22 years.

McKinley made five steals, turned four of them into subsequent points, and collected the most crucial takeaway with 20 seconds remaining — as visiting New Boston captured a critical 66-63 victory against the Green Bobcats in front of a full house at Green High School.

With the win, the Tigers — the second-ranked team in the third weekly Associated Press Ohio High School boys basketball Division IV poll — raised their stellar record to 15-1, and remained perfect atop the SOC I standings at 10-0.

Thanks to the hard-fought triumph over the game and determined Bobcats, the Tigers can clinch that coveted SOC I championship — a share on Tuesday night at East and the outright on Friday night at Ironton St. Joseph.

It will be the Tigers’ first SOC I title since the 1997-98 campaign, which —of course —is a long time coming to the basketball-crazy New Boston community.

As the Tigers celebrated with their fans following Friday night’s win, loud chants of “S-O-C” could be heard all over the Green gymnasium.

“You grow up living in New Boston and going to Glenwood and dreaming about going to the Convo (Ohio University Convocation Center for the district and regional boys basketball tournament), but you really, really dream about winning the SOC. That Gold Ball (trophy awarded the SOC I winner) is a really nice shiny trophy,” said Cox. “Our kids are really working hard towards accomplishing that goal. Hopefully, we can clinch on Tuesday.”

But first things first, the Tigers had to complete the season sweep of the Bobcats, which made New Boston work for its win in the foul-fest of a contest in the two teams’ initial meeting on Dec. 20.

There were 54 fouls and 48 foul shots combined in that matchup, as Friday featured fewer fouls —and only 22 total free throws.

Instead, it came down to New Boston making not one, not two, not three, not four, but count ‘em five massive defensive stops in the final two minutes and 47 seconds —as Green, despite trailing by three points at either 59-56 or 61-58 — had five opportunities to tie with a three-point goal.

The first three were missed shots, with McKinley actually grabbing two rebounds — before a traveling violation on Green’s Gage Sampson with 31-and-a-half seconds showing.

Finally, following a New Boston turnover and Green getting the basketball underneath its own basket, the Bobcats’ inbounds pass was intercepted by McKinley — and it set up Kyle Sexton sinking five clutch one-and-one free throws in the final 19 seconds.

The Bobcats’ buckets in the final 3:23 were three by Ethan Huffman, a Levi Sampson score with six seconds left to make it 64-60, and finally Levi Singleton sinking a three-pointer from the corner pocket for the 66-63 final.

Which, with that shot, makes McKinley’s major defensive plays —and the Bobcats’ 18 turnovers and missed opportunities at the end —loom even larger.

Green’s final turnover, trailing 63-58, was an over-and-back call with just 13 seconds remaining.

Head Coach Dirk Hollar

“We had five or six possessions there late we didn’t convert,” said Green coach Dirk Hollar. “(Ethan) Huffman had a runner that went in and out, then he shot a layup that I thought went in and looped back around and came out. So we got good looks on back-to-back layups. The out of bounds play we ran, we had backside wide open but we forced it (pass), so there was another turnover. The over-and-back, we weren’t thinking and lost track of what was going on. We beat ourselves, and that’s continued to happen all year. We continue to play hard and fight, but we have to finish those games. It was there, but we missed two layups in a row, and turned the ball over.”

McKinley’s awareness and interception of the inbounds pass was arguably the most important, because the Bobcats only trailed 61-58 — with only 20 seconds AND the ball underneath.

McKinley was fouled after making the steal, and despite missing a one-and-one free-throw attempt, the ball was in New Boston’s frontcourt —setting Sexton up to get fouled and mesh his five free throws.

But McKinley made four other steals which led directy to immense points as well.

In the first quarter, he had two thefts —the first of which he turned into a layup with the second resulting in a Tanner Voiers rebound putback which made it 13-8.

In the third frame, in the first 80 seconds no less, McKinley made back-to-back steals —and went in for layups to make it 37-30.

The Tigers’ largest lead was actually eight points twice (41-33 and 44-36), thanks to five points including a three-pointer from Voiers, but it was McKinley making those two early plays that allowed New Boston breathing room — as the second-half advantage ranged from two to eight points over the opening 12-and-a-half minutes.

Voiers poured in a game-high 24 points on 11 total field goals — and Sexton secured a triple-double with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists — but McKinley’s 11 markers on five field goals and a first-quarter foul shot can’t be understated.

Cox said he called out McKinley, albeit privately, and was delighted to see him respond.

“I won’t say exactly what I told Jerome at halftime, but basically I told him he had shown up before the last three games not ready to go at the shoot-arounds or walk-thrus, and I was tired of watching it. He was a freshman on the Elite Eight (Division IV regional runner-up) team last year, and if he wasn’t going to wake up and play, then he needed to come off the bench and realize that there are other kids that want to. The third quarter, he stole the ball twice on the opening possessions,” said the coach.

There were actually eight lead changes in the first 15 minutes and 10 seconds, as New Boston built a 16-10 first-quarter bulge on Voiers’ first three-ball, but the Bobcats doubled up the Tigers 10-5 in the final three minutes of the first.

Green — which also held one-point leads of 4-3, 6-5 and 8-7 — gained its last lead at 22-21 on a Gage Sampson rebound stickback just 13 seconds into the second stanza.

The Tigers — taking the lead for good at the 6:50 mark of the period — led anywhere from one to five points throughout the second quarter, before Huffman drove and scored for the 33-30 halftime score.

McKinley made the two steals and layups, Voiers rained in a three at the 4:25 point to make it 44-36, and the lead ranged from four to eight points until the 5:41 mark of the final canto.

“It seemed like every time we missed a shot or did something goofy or turned it over, they went down and scored,” said Hollar. “That was a big difference in the game.”

The Bobcats’ fourth-quarter three-point deficits were 53-50, 55-52, 57-54, 59-56 and 61-58 —with Green getting the deficit down to one twice at 57-56 and 59-58.

Huffman hit a left-handed layup with a crossover move with 1:50 remaining, but back came Voiers only 22 seconds later for the final three-point advantage (61-58).

The score then remained 61-58 for the next minute and 11 seconds, as the Tigers turned back the Bobcats on five consecutive possessions.

Like the previous meeting, Green never got the lead back, but if it did…

“If we could get over that hump, we should be able to win. But it seemed like every time we made a play to get over that hump, we couldn’t finish,” said Hollar. “Those five possessions that we didn’t convert and we missed a box out on the other end, that was pretty much it. We stress taking care of the ball and boxing out, but we pick the worst times in the world to turn the ball over and that’s what happened.”

Lost in all of the anxious final three minutes was the scoring and statistics, as New Boston had 32 rebounds including 25 defensive — and the Tigers turned it over only eight times.

There were two 1,000-point scorers in the game —the junior Sexton and the senior Sampson, as Sexton scored five field goals —including his three-pointer just 40 seconds in to get New Boston on the board.

Sampson, even as the Tigers face-guarded him, scored 14 of his team-high 22 points on seven first-half deuces — as he hit Green’s other trifecta — outside of Singleton’s five.

Singleton splashed two treys in the opening quarter and two more in the third, as his final for his 15th point beat the game-ending buzzer.

Huffman had a dozen markers for the Bobcats on four field goals and 4-of-4 free throws, while Levi Sampson added eight on three baskets and 2-of-2 fourth-quarter freebies.

The Bobcats — which are off for a week before traveling to Western — fell to an even 9-9, and to 5-6 in the SOC I.

However, they battled the Tigers tooth-and-nail twice this season, especially on Friday night.

“Our kids always play hard, they’ve played hard since the first day of practice. That’s what they do and will continue to do because they are a great group of kids,” said Hollar. “We just have to take care of the ball better.”

Cox, quite frankly, was happy to leave foggy Franklin Furnace with a victory —which inched the Tigers to within the doorstep of winning the SOC I championship.

“Hats off to Green. They should be very proud. A three-point win on the road at Green, I will take it every year,” he said. “They were ready to play and this is a tough atmosphere, and (Gage) Sampson is an amazing senior, but we held on and that’s what matters.”

Titans pull off stunner of Panthers

By Paul Boggs

 

ROSEMOUNT — Call it indeed divine intervention, but the Notre Dame Titans will remember this one —while Friday night’s outcome will be one for the Clay Panthers to most certainly forget.

That’s because the visiting Titans, which had lost by 31 points against Clay in early-season Southern Ohio Conference Division I competition, turned the tables completely on the Panthers in their return meeting — and did so in absolutely and inexplicably stunning fashion.

After trailing by as much as seven points midway through the third quarter, Notre Dame rallied, withstood an epic fourth-quarter stall-ball tactic, and miraculously flipped Clay’s penultimate possession into two Caleb Nichols free throws for a jaw-dropping 37-35 victory.

Following the most inopportune turnover by the Panthers, Nichols notched his only points on Friday night —two foul shots with only nine seconds showing on the clock.

Gage Moore, the Panthers’ leading scorer but trying to atone for losing the ball on their previous possession, missed a three-pointer near the buzzer, as Jermaine Powell —who made the massive steal and whose missed layup set up Nichols’ free throws — grabbed the final rebound for the Titans.

This one, quite frankly, you had to see to believe —but underdog Notre Dame did what any other club would do in that situation.

That being trying to take advantage of the opposition’s mistakes.

With the wild upset win, the Titans gained a gigantic measure of revenge against the Panthers, which handled them 59-28 in their mid-December matchup.

Notre Dame also bounced back from a disappointing 63-39 home setback against Western on Tuesday night.

The Titans are now 5-8, and 2-6 in the SOC I.

In his postgame media interview, Notre Dame coach Matt Mader described the finish as simply “crazy”.

However, it was hustle plays by his Titans that put them over the top.

“That was a great defensive play by J.P. (Jermaine Powell) to extend out on their point guard. It could have been over-and-back or other things called there, but J.P. stayed with it, the ball got loose, he made the steal and took it to the rack. Then we had two guys following up right behind him with Caleb (Nichols) getting fouled,” said Mader. “Give J.P. credit for making the play, then give Jarren (Edgington) and Caleb credit for running the floor. When Clay beat us by 31 at our place, we got out-hustled and out-played in every facet of the game. To see these guys come back tonight with the tenacity and energy and togetherness…”

Here’s how the final 94 seconds played out.

With Clay clinging to a 35-33 advantage, the Panthers’ Reece Whitley drove the lane but missed, and the Titans corralled the rebound.

On Notre Dame’s possession, Jarren Edgington —who paced the Panthers with 14 points on seven field goals — got a big rebound putback for the 35-35 tie 29 seconds later.

Clay then appeared to hold the ball for the final —and potentially game-winning — shot, as Moore maintained his dribble despite being guarded closely by Powell and out as far as half-court.

But somehow — all of the sudden — Powell picked up a loose ball and raced in for a layup, which he missed but both Edgington and Nichols were right there trailing behind.

Edgington didn’t get the follow-up stickback, but Nichols got his board —and was fouled in the act of shooting with exactly 8.8 seconds remaining.

He calmly sank both foul shots, giving the Titans an unbelievable 37-35 lead.

Clay coach Garrick “Tiny” Anderson opted not to call a timeout to set something up for his Panthers, and instead Moore moved quickly upcourt for the game-winning three-pointer —but he missed and Powell pulled down the rebound as the Titans celebrated wildly when the buzzer sounded.

“The discussion there was whether we wanted to call a timeout trying to set our defense up. In doing that, Coach Anderson has two (timeouts) of his own. We both elected not to call anything. We trusted our defense and did a nice job of getting back and getting set up to force a tough three,” said Mader.

Anderson expressed disappointment in that his Panthers simply didn’t close either the third or fourth quarters out.

“We knew this game would be a dogfight, but it’s a matter of knowing the situation of the game and closing out the game. We are up two (35-33) with a minute and 34 seconds left, and we try to force a shot. At the end of the third quarter, we have the ball with seven or eight seconds left and we don’t get a shot off,” he said. “Those are just closing quarters out and finishing the game. At the end, Notre Dame came out and picked up the pressure, and our kid just mishandled the ball. We tell our kids that every possession matters. This is a prime example of it.”

There were very few possessions in the frantic fourth quarter on Friday night, thanks to a five-minute lull.

Or, rather that should read “stall”.

Whitley opened the fourth by canning a three from the wing, making it 33-29, but Edgington answered immediately on the other end.

Then, for the next nearly five minutes, the Panthers —with the Titans standing back and content in a zone defense — passed the ball around out top or Moore simply stood out front and dribbled.

Clay was trying to get the Titans to come out and defend it man-to-man, but Mader explained that he was trying to primarily and temporarily rest his players — as Notre Dame only played six men with one not playing beyond the first quarter.

Hence, for the final three periods, Edgington, Nichols, Dylan Seison, Dominic Sparks and especially Powell were on the floor without a break.

“That was something we did the other night to mainly get J.P. some rest. He was just out of breath because he was doing it on both ends. Our guys have logged a ton of minutes all season and we don’t go very deep. When you do that, you play a lot of minutes,” said Mader. We were mainly trying to get our guys a breather on the floor to finish the game out.”

With Clay holding the 35-33 lead during that, Anderson said there was no hurry on his Panthers’ part.

“We were committed to it (stall offense), because we knew our best bet was for them (Titans) to come out and try to guard us,” he said. “That’s what they did, but we did score on it.”

Indeed they did, as Whitley was fouled when he drove the lane with two minutes and three seconds left.

He made both free throws, but again the Titans quickly answered with a Powell basket only 13 seconds later for the 35-33 deficit.

That set up the final minute and 34 tics, in which Anderson emphasized that his squad simply didn’t close the deal.

Or, the third frame.

Notre Dame —following a hotly-contested first half of six lead changes and six ties with no lead larger than five by either team — led 23-22, but the Panthers, on two baskets apiece by Moore and Shaden Malone, pushed out to their biggest lead at 30-23 with 4:48 remaining.

But Seison — who canned the Titans’ only three-pointer which forged an 18-18 tie — secured two foul shots, Edgington added a basket, and Sparks scored on a lob to get Notre Dame back within one at 30-29 three minutes later.

With 2.5 seconds showing in the third, the Panthers set up for the last shot, but never got a shot off.

“We’ve struggled with that all year. We’re up six, seven or eight points, then the next thing you know, we’re only up one,” said Anderson. “It’s just not finishing.”

For those into counting, Notre Dame outscored Clay 14-5 over the final 12 minutes and 48 seconds.

“The kids stayed with the gameplan, we executed and didn’t panic,” said Mader. “We have a young team, but these guys know that if there is time on the clock, there’s a chance to win.”

The Titans turned the basketball over only seven times too, which didn’t allow Clay’s trapping press defense to be as effective as it would like.

Instead, Notre Dame got shots.

“That was huge for us,” said Mader. “If we can continue to do that and take care of the basketball and get shots versus turnovers, we’re going to be in more games.”

“In order for us to get into our press, we have to score. We didn’t do a good job of that. Then we get into our traps on our diamond press, and they just split it,” said Anderson. “We did not do a good job of forcing the tempo tonight.”

Clay also missed four free throws on only six attempts, as Moore made two second-quarter threes while Evan Woods did the same in the opening half.

Whitley’s triple in the fourth gave the Panthers five, as Moore led with 10 points while Whitley — with two first-quarter two-pointers —netted nine.

Woods and Malone manged six points apiece, as Malone also scored in the opening period.

Jaden Jessee and Dakota Dodds both tallied a second-stanza basket, as all of the team statistics were as close as the final score would indicate.

It’s just that, for Clay anyway, it’s one that indeed got away.

The Panthers fell to 5-10, and to 4-5 in the SOC I, with the loss.

“It’s frustrating, but we knew this game would be a dogfight,” said Anderson. “We just didn’t close the game out.”

In addition to Edgington’s 14 points, Powell posted 10 on four field goals — with three in the first quarter — and 2-of-5 free throws.

Sparks scored six points, including back-to-back baskets as part of eight unanswered points in the opening period that gave the Titans their largest lead at 12-7.

However, call it divine intervention perhaps —or just plain solid clutch character coming through in the end —for the victorious Titans.

“Just a ton of credit goes to our young kids. We have a lot of character in that locker-room. Those guys fought hard and we’re very proud of them,” said Mader. “A great win like this we hope will be a momentum-builder and confidence-booster for the second half of the season against a tough schedule.”

Glenwood holds off South Point in big win

By Paul Boggs

NEW BOSTON — New Boston boys basketball coach Adam Cox considered it the Tigers’ best performance of the season.

No doubt, at the very least, it had to impress members of the 1960 squad which were in attendance —and honored —on Saturday night.

The host Tigers led wire-to-wire, and executed their gameplan to near perfection, in capturing a key 68-63 non-league victory over the South Point Pointers inside an amped-up Homer Pellegrinon Memorial Gymnasium in New Boston.

With the victory, the Tigers —the third-ranked team in the Associated Press Ohio High School Boys Basketball Division IV poll —raised their stellar record to 11-1, while South Point of Division III fell to an even 5-5.

The Tigers, in front of the famed 1960 team which was honored on Saturday night for winning the regional championship 60 years ago, took pages out of an old-school playbook against the Pointers.

That gameplan indeed worked, as the Tigers —having never trailed and only taking 10 total three-point attempts — tallied 27 field goals from inside the arc on an array of elbow jump shots, high-post to low-post passes, and the classic beat ‘em backdoor Princeton-style cuts.

It all started with — and centered around — six-foot five-inch Kyle Sexton scoring seven first-half field goals, and ended with Tanner Voiers and others attacking the basket in the second half.

It appeared to be throw-back basketball, with excellent ball movement and more importantly ball-sharing, but Cox claimed it was the “best-followed gameplan of the season”.

“That was our gameplan. That’s the best our kids have followed a gameplan all year. We have detailed reports on everybody we play. But tonight was the first time I thought they (Tigers) trusted the gameplan 100-percent. And we went eight deep, and you didn’t see us drop off when anybody came in the game. Even in timeouts, they responded and got the ball where we wanted to. We came in and practiced hard this week of playing against a zone. They (Pointers) zoned us last year, and we really didn’t have a good offense for that. I thought that tonight we were able to establish a presence on knowing we were going to go to the post, no matter whether they zoned us or not,” said the coach. “We didn’t think they would have an answer for Kyle, but not a lot of teams do have an answer for Kyle.”

Sexton scored 16 points on seven first-half field goals and 2-of-3 fourth-quarter free throws, as he also grabbed 14 rebounds and dished out six assists.

Sexton drew double and triple-teams, which freed up the likes of Tanner Voiers, Marcus Saunders and Jerome McKinley — as Voiers went off for a team-high 18 points on seven field goals and 3-of-4 free throws.

Voiers scored 16 in the second half, as Saunders and McKinley mustered seven points apiece on three second-half field goals.

Grady Jackson, on three field goals and 2-of-2 foul shots, and Chase Clark —on four buckets —added eight points apiece.

Malachi Potts and Devon Jones scored a basket apiece, as the entire offense was predicated off of Sexton’s passing.

“We executed really well on trying to make sure we went inside then out. Instead of relying on the outside shot. We really developed that in the second half at Peebles (52-46 loss on Jan. 4) and realized how undeniable we were once we established a post game. We did a great job of establishing Kyle (Sexton) inside early, and that makes people around Kyle a lot better, as long as they don’t stand,” said Cox. “I thought we did a good job of moving off of Kyle’s passes in the post. He had 14 in the first half, and only scored two points in the second half, but he drew two or three defenders the rest of the way out. We then tried to establish Tanner (Voiers) more in the post with a mismatch on him. Just to give it a different look and to get Tanner’s confidence going.”

But, even the best gameplans can go off script —and some even work out when they had no business to begin with.

Case in point.

The Tigers maintained anywhere from a two-to-eight point advantage in the opening 18 minutes and 45 seconds, before finally leading 43-32 with 3:08 to play in the third quarter.

However, the Pointers sliced the deficit to 43-41 with nine unanswered, including back-to-back steals and layups by Chance Gunther and Nakyan Turner —and a three-point bomb by Gunther with a minute and 27 seconds to go.

A Clark basket snapped a two-minute scoring drought, but Voiers’ three-point basket to beat the quarter-buzzer was indeed the sight to behold.

With time winding down, Sexton and a South Point player scrambled for a loose ball near the elbow —with Sexton, on his backside, basically back-tapping somehow the ball back to Voiers on the wing.

Voiers caught the pass, and off-balance bagged a dagger of a three-pointer to make it 48-41.

The play happened directly in front of the Tigers’ bench, as they roared in celebration —and Cox was the first to high-five Voiers.

“Just how we drew it up,” joked Cox. “Let’s knock the ball around about three times, travel and get away with it, have Kyle tip it off the floor, which was a very heads-up and great hustle play by Kyle, and Tanner hit that off-balance three on one foot. Tanner had been in a shooting slump and scoring slump lately, but tonight was a really good breakout game for him.”

But South Point never went away.

In the final period, the Pointers shaved the deficit to five four times (48-43, 50-45, 52-47 and 54-49) through the first three minutes and 20 seconds —before Saunders scored on a run-out basket at the 3:47 mark to make it 56-49.

But Saunders wasn’t done.

At exactly the three-minute mark, he splashed a corner-pocket three for a 59-49 Tiger advantage, as South Point never got the deficit under eight after that.

The Tigers sank 5-of-7 free throws in the final 6:25, while the Pointers —which were in the bonus situation for the final four minutes including the double bonus for the final two —could only make four of 10 attempts at the line in the last quarter.

In the second half, in fact, they were 5-of-14 —part of a paltry 6-of-18 for 33-percent for the entire game.

Gunther, who poured in a game-high 25 points including all three of the Pointers’ treys, canned a pair in the final 1:37 —including swishing one at the buzzer for the 68-63 final.

He erupted for 11 total field goals and scored 17 in the second half, as Turner totaled 17 points on seven field goals and 3-of-5 freebies —13 of which were over the second 16 minutes.

Austin Webb chipped in 13 points on five field goals and three made free throws, but Cox said his Tigers — especially Sexton — stymied him to almost half his scoring average.

“The Webb kid is averaging 25 points per game. I thought Kyle clamped him down all game long,” he said.

Indeed, defensively AND offensively, Cox said his team “needed that” — as in arguably its best performance of the year.

“That’s our biggest win of the season so far, in my opinion,” he said. “I felt like we needed that. That’s a good Division III team that we beat. We’re 11-1 right now and we work our tails off.”

And, it had to impress the 1960 regional champions — which went 24-1 (90-5 in four years) and is the only New Boston boys basketball team to ever reach the state tournament.

The Tigers of 60 years ago sat right behind the current Tigers’ bench to witness the win firsthand.

“These guys wanted to show those guys what they want to carry on. They feel like they are the best team since that 1960 team,” said Cox. “They (2020 Tigers) wanted to show that they are proud to be mentioned in the same sentence as them. We respect our alumni here at New Boston and it’s something special.”

New Boston shoots 33 FT in 56-43 win

By Paul Boggs

 

NEW BOSTON — Adam Cox admitted he found himself sweating this one out.

“I haven’t sweated all year, and I sweated all night tonight,” said Cox, the Tigers’ third-year head coach. “It just was a hard-fought game. They battled every quarter.”

That’s because the visiting Green Bobcats had the Tigers seeing proverbial red, or even white on Friday night, and were within an eyelash of perhaps stealing their undefeated Christmas.

But not so fast friends and countrymen — the sky is not falling, rumors of the Tigers’ demise are greatly exaggerated, and New Boston’s happy holiday is indeed saved.

The Tigers — having to navigate a minefield full of foul calls, foul shots and many missed shots — tallied the final 11 points over the game’s final three minutes and 56 seconds, and carved out from the free-throw fest a 56-43 Southern Ohio Conference Division I boys basketball victory inside Homer Pellegrinon Memorial Gymnasium in New Boston.

With the win, the talented and highly-touted Tigers are now a perfect 7-0 — and 4-0 and tied atop the SOC I with newcomer Ironton St. Joseph.

While Whiteoak — in a non-league encounter a week ago — only lost to the Tigers by eight points (58-50), Cox commented that the Bobcats brought a much greater and intense physical challenge.

There were 54 combined free throws — on 48 total fouls called.

“I’m just proud of our guys to weather through the storm of what was definitely the most physical ballgame we’ve played all year. The physicality was…with all the free throws, it was hard for us to get into a rhythm. And I’m not so sure that wasn’t the most fouls I’ve ever been a part of in a high school game in my life,” said Cox. “There were a lot. We shot 33 free throws and they shot 21. There were a lot of quick whistles, and both Green and us had to adjust to the style of play that they were calling. We battled through it, we showed some resilience.”

So too did the Bobcats, but Green head coach Dirk Hollar was clearly frustrated with all the whistles — and elimination of the game’s flow.

In the first half, the Tigers were in the one-and-one bonus situation with 6:17 remaining — and in the double bonus by the 4:24 mark.

In the second half, both teams were in the one-and-one for the final 9:39 — with New Boston being in it for the final 10:16.

A half-dozen Bobcats picked up at least three personals — as their leading scorers Gage Sampson (14 points), Alec Smith (11 points) and Ethan Huffman (eight points) all fouled out.

“It’s very frustrating, because I feel like we got nothing,” said Hollar. “It’s really sad for the kids because that was a great ballgame, and I’m not saying that it would have made a difference in the outcome, but we felt the kids on both sides were taken out of the game tonight.”

The Bobcats — now an even 4-4 but 1-3 in the SOC I — also battled back from a 22-7 deficit with five minutes and 27 seconds remaining in the second quarter.

Green’s lone lead was at 3-2 on a Smith three-pointer, as the Tigers turned up the pressure and began to pull away before Smith started the Bobcats’ comeback bid with his other three-pointer — at the 5:17 mark of the second to get Green within a dozen (22-10).

It sliced that deficit in half to 27-21 at halftime by outscoring the Tigers 14-5 over the final five-plus minutes, then trailed 42-36 after three quarters — as Green got the deficit down to two points three times in the third (34-32, 36-34 and 38-36) and twice more in the fourth (44-42 and 45-43).

However, the Bobcats never got within one, tied or took the lead again — and actually failed to score again after Huffman hit 2-of-3 free throws over a 26-second span midway through the final period.

Huffman hit a foul shot with 3:56 remaining, but the Tigers scored the final 11 over the final two-and-a-half minutes.

As the Bobcats misfired from the field, including a Huffman three-pointer from the wing which would have given Green a 46-45 lead, the Tigers took advantage — as Grady Jackson grabbed the rebound and drove coast-to-coast for the layup and a four-point (47-43) bulge.

New Boston standout Kyle Sexton scored inside at the minute-and-a-half mark, and the Tigers — despite shooting a whopping 33 free throws and only making 18 of them — converted seven of their final 10 over the final minute and 13 seconds.

The Tigers netted 9-of-17 freebies in the second half, as all 10 of Sexton’s attempts with five makes were over the final 16 minutes.

Sexton — despite sitting most of the second quarter with two personal fouls — poured in a game-high 17 points, as he also made six field goals.

He ripped down 20 rebounds as well, and amassed five assists and five steals.

“We called a couple of sets to get Kyle some looks and we were able to hit some free throws down the stretch. We started to run our sets with more patience,” said Cox. “We were able to spread them out to the point where they had to come out and guard us.”

But the final four minutes of shutout basketball was more of a credit to the Tigers’ defense.

Trailing 49-43 and only 90 seconds still to play, Green was forced to foul — so its personals number inflated to 28 along with New Boston’s free-throw attempts to 33.

Hollar said his charges didn’t protect the basketball in the final few minutes, much they like did in falling behind 22-7.

“We turned the ball over too much tonight. We panicked and we rushed and tried to get shots, but in doing so, we just didn’t take care of the ball. Plain and simple,” said the coach. “We went over and over and over that you can’t dribble the ball against this team. New Boston did a great job defensively, but we can’t dribble against a 2-2-1, and we continued to try it tonight.”

The Bobcats started slow again, scoring just the seven points prior to the 5:27 point of the second quarter — on Smith’s three and a basket and 2-of-4 free throws by Sampson.

“Ever since the South Webster game, which was the second game of the year, it’s like we have no sense of urgency to jump out on a team and get that swag before they get it,” said Hollar. “We can’t start every game down five, 10, 15 points. We scored seven points tonight in a quarter-and-a-half.”

Sampson finished with five field and 4-of-6 free throws, while Smith sank four field goals and a foul shot.

Huffman had eight on three deuces and 2-of-3 fourth-quarter free throws, while four other Bobcats combined for two field goals and 6-of-8 at the line.

Green made 13-of-21 at the stripe.

Jerome McKinley followed Sexton with 14 points on five field goals and 4-of-6 free throws, while Tanner Voiers — on two third-quarter field goals and 5-of-8 free throws — notched nine.

Jackson scored eight off the bench on four buckets, as four other Tigers tallied at least one point apiece.

The Tigers, despite not canning a single three-point goal and missing several short-range in-close opportunities, totaled a 19-14 advantage in total field goals.

Cox said a key was his club keeping steady the ship when Sexton was on the bench in first-half foul trouble.

“I made a decision, given the amount of fouls being called, to sit Sexton second quarter. I wanted to show our depth and our bench that I believed in them, even if our captain and our leader was on the bench with fouls. I wanted to see what they could do to handle it,” he said. “What was crazy was that we just practiced on Wednesday without Sexton. He was icing and rehabbing his knee which he hurt against Clay. I thought we looked good that practice, and I thought that really helped us tonight to get through that and maintain the lead.”

Hollar believes had his Bobcats either tied or taken the lead late, they would have captured the victory.

“We couldn’t get over that hump. But when you miss a lot of easy layups and jumpers, you don’t get over that hump. I thought if we got over the hump, we would have a chance to win. I’m very proud of how my kids played and fought. New Boston is one of the best teams in Southern Ohio. It was a one or two-possession game for the final two-and-a-half quarters.”

The Bobcats returned home, and returned to non-league action, on Saturday night in a makeup matchup against Fairview (Ky.).

Meanwhile, New Boston is off until Friday night — when it travels to Meigs County and sees a solid Southern squad.

But first things first, Cox can quit sweating — and start enjoying — this Christmas holiday.

“My first two years, we didn’t win the game right before Christmas. I’ve lost every Christmas break game and I’ve struggled through Christmas. So it’s an early Christmas gift,” he said. “We’re undefeated in the league and we’ll have some time to get some work in. Give Green all the credit in the world and they weren’t backing down from us. For us winning a game like this, where we have a lot to improve on, it builds character. I was glad we were able to persevere and hold the ball and seal it with some made free throws.”

Jeeps have no trouble with young Tartans

By Paul Boggs

 

SOUTH WEBSTER — South Webster, while it was the season opener and against an over-matched East squad, was often in mid-season form.

That’s because the host Jeeps, in the non-league boys basketball lid-lifter on Friday night, never had a trouble spot against the visiting Tartans — cruising to a 71-22 victory in a matchup between neighboring Scioto County clubs.

It was South Webster’s first game since the graduation of standout and Division IV all-Ohioan Shiloah Blevins, who was responsible for most of the Jeeps’ scoring, rebounding and shot-blocking from their sectional championship team a season ago.

But Brenton Cole, the Jeeps’ third-year head coach, talked about “coming out and turning up the pressure” to turn the Tartans over.

They did just that.

“We knew the job we needed to do. It’s a varsity game, so get out there and get hands in passing lanes, look to get steals and shoot layups on fast breaks when we can get them,” said Cole. “We shot well tonight, and from three always helps, but we wanted to limit their possessions. When you don’t take breaks on defense, it can turn out bad for the other team. We forced a lot of turnovers, and when Devyn (Coriell) and Trae (Zimmerman) are out running and pushing the ball, it’s fun to watch when they are getting layups off those. It all starts with the defensive end and putting pressure on.”

Simply put, the Tartans struggled offensively as the Jeeps defended well.

“For the most part of the first half, we just didn’t do a good job of taking care of the basketball. We had a lot of turnovers early, and we let it frustrate us. When we were able to get a good look or a good shot, we weren’t able to knock them down,” said East head coach Adam Bailey. “It’s something, with us being so young, that we have to show up the next day at practice and work harder than what we’ve been working. The older we get, the harder we work, the less the struggle is going to be there. We want to become better at what we do.”

On Friday night, the Jeeps never trailed against a youthful and rebuilding Tartan team — as Devyn Coriell, in his return to the program after a year off, scored just a minute-and-a-half in.

East’s Austin Smith scored on the ensuing possession for the 2-2 tie, but the Jeeps scored the next dozen points over the next three minutes — and the anticipated blowout was on.

Bryson Ramirez and Chase Coyle canned three-pointers apiece to get the Tartans to within 14-5 and 16-8, but the Jeeps answered back with back-to-back threes by Andrew Smith and Brayden Bockway before the first quarter ended — and East never threatened again.

In fact, as South Webster won the second quarter 21-2 and the third frame 18-4, the only East points over those middle two periods were second-stanza free throws by Coyle and Smith — and third-quarter field goals by Landhen Pernell.

Both teams substituted liberally throughout the final three quarters, as East endured scoring droughts of at least four minutes three times.

The Jeeps, in fact, from the one-and-a-half minute mark of the second quarter until the 3:42 point of the third, scored 20 consecutive points to make it 56-10.

Jaren Lower, the freshman who tied the senior Bockway with three threes apiece, landed the final South Webster three-ball — and points — for the Jeeps’ largest lead at 71-20.

East ended up with four fourth-quarter field goals — one by Pernell, one by Coyle and the final two by Smith.

Cole, while instructing his Jeeps to work on sets and defenses during the second half, wanted his charges to maintain the intensity.

“We were able to only have two scrimmages with our entire team, so I had to get them in a little bit in the second half and execute and just keep the intensity up,” he said. “We worked our way into our bench, and everybody got in the game and was able to play a little bit.”

The Jeeps actually outscored the Tartans in total from behind the three-point line alone — as they nailed 10.

South Webster made four in the first — and two apiece in the final three quarters.

Bockway and Lower landed 13 points apiece on the strength of their three triples, as Bockway was also 4-of-5 at the foul line.

Bockway had all of his markers in the opening half, while Lower did the same in the second.

Trae Zimmerman, on eight total field goals, paced the Jeeps and all scorers with 17 points — almost outscoring Sciotoville by himself.

Andrew Smith scored 11 on five field goals, as Coriell collected eight points on three baskets — and Gabe Ruth recorded three buckets and 3-of-4 foul shots for seven.

Will Collins, with two second-stanza freebies, finished up the South Webster scoring.

Not only do the Tartans’ turnovers need to reduce, they need to improve their shooting — and even free throws.

East only made nine total field goals, and was just 2-of-8 at the stripe.

Bailey said the season is all about the Tartans improving.

“Our kids have shown up every day trying to get better. When we come back to practice, I expect them to have that exact same attitude. It’s a process and we’ve talked about it,” he said. “You mentally have to be tough through it, and at some point, hopefully the hard work will pay off for us.”

The Tartans travel to Eastern on Tuesday for another non-league tilt, while Webster goes to Green on Tuesday for another non-league bout itself.
