NORWALK — Throughout the 2018-19 season, Upper Sandusky’s Trevor Clifford had not scored 20 or more points in a game. He picked the ideal time to do so. Scoring inside early and often, Clifford scored 23 points and Cameron McCreary added 23 points of his own as the Upper Sandusky boys basketball team overwhelmed Western Reserve 66-53 in the Division III district semifinals on Wednesday at Norwalk.

NORWALK — Trailing throughout the game, Carey made a run in the third quarter, but it came to a screeching halt as foul trouble mounted. Willard was able to steal back the momentum in the fourth quarter and took a 69-54 victory in a Division III district semifinal Wednesday night at Norwalk. The Blue Devils trailed by 11 in the second quarter and by nine midway through the third, but led by Griffin Summit and Hayden Stone, rallied to within two.

Upper Sandusky is selling tickets for its district final game from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. today and Friday and 4-6 p.m. Friday in the high school athletic office. Pre-sale tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for students.

FOSTORIA — Slowing a future Big Ten basketball player was a tough enough task facing Mohawk on Tuesday night. Also trying to stop his teammates in the Division IV district semifinal was more than the Warriors could handle. Maumee Valley Country Day star junior Zeb Jackson, already committed to play at the University of Michigan, scored 25 points, but it was the 3-point shooting support of Parker Chatman and Lucas Fankhauser and the inside presence of J.R. Lumsden that proved to be too much in the Hawks’ 94-78 victory at Fostoria.

CAREY — Carey junior Tanner May is already the youngest Carey wrestler to win 100 matches. He also is the first district champion, two-time state placer and three-time state qualifier in the coaching tenure of Carey wrestling coach Ryan Pratt.

FINDLAY — Arlington took control of the paint on both ends of the floor from the opening tip and Riverdale’s outside shooting was not on target often enough to keep pace as the Red Devils pulled away for a 58-35 victory in a Division IV district semifinal game Tuesday night at Findlay.

SYCAMORE — In a sibling rivalry, Morgan Price has a chance to get an edge on his older brothers. The Mohawk junior is the third of his brothers to qualify for the state tournament, and he is hoping to become the first of them to place when he heads to Columbus this weekend.

Upper Sandusky’s Alexis Fogle and Wynford’s Olivia Grove earned All-Northern 10 Athletic Conference girls basketball first-team honors released Monday. Fogle, a senior guard, is the N10’s leading scorer at 15.0 points per game and is first in steals at 3.8 per game.

KANSAS — With a dominant performance all weekend, Tanner May became Carey’s first district champion in a least a couple of decades on Saturday. May pinned Norwalk St. Paul’s Camden Caizzo in 2:35 in the 182-pound first-place match in the Division III district tournament at Lakota and will be making his third state appearance. Mohawk’s Morgan Price also is headed to state as a fourth-place finisher at 145 pounds, and the Warriors’ Caden Gurney is a state alternate after taking fifth place at 132 pounds.

NORWALK — Sure, the 2018-19 wrestling season may have ended sooner than three members of the Upper Sandusky wrestling team hoped it would. But the improvements they made as the season progressed, along with the fact they will all return next season, are what Upper Sandusky coach Noah Blankenship reflected on at the conclusion of the second day of the Division II district wrestling tournament Saturday at Norwalk.
