MOUNT BLANCHARD — It had been a while — at least four years — since the Wynford girls basketball team defeated Riverdale. And even longer since the Royals turned the ball over eight times or less in a game. The last time was reportedly against Lucas in 2011.

CAREY — Hayden Stone had 19 points and 12 rebounds but it was not enough as Carey fell 61-51 to Van Buren on Saturday evening at Carey. Nick McCracken led the Black Knights (1-0) with 13 points in their season opener. Carson Goble finished with 11 points.

MANSFIELD — Abbey Wenger won three events and was named the female swimmer of the meet, leading Upper Sandusky to a third-place finish Saturday in the Friendly House Invitational hosted by Lexington at the Friendly House.

NORTHWOOD — Mohawk’s James Clouse won the 220-pound championship this weekend at the Jim Derr Invitational wrestling tournament at Northwood. The Warriors also got a second-place finish at 195 pounds from Kaleb Leeth and finished 14th as a team. Riverdale tied for 24th place.

FINDLAY — Carey finished 2-3 in the season-opening Findlay Duals on Saturday. The Blue Devils got a 41-40 victory against Wapakoneta and another win that was not available.

BUCYRUS — Josh Crall scored 30 points but it was not quite enough as Wynford fell 63-59 to Margaretta in overtime on Saturday evening. The Polar Bears (2-0) made 14 of 17 free throws in the game and outscored the Royals (0-2) 12-8 in the extra period.

McGUFFEY — The Riverdale boys basketball team dropped its second consecutive game with a 81-45 loss to Upper Scioto Valley on Saturday at Upper Scioto Valley High School. The Rams outscored the Falcons 19-9, 18-13, 28-9 and 16-14 in each of the four quarters.

ARCADIA — Scoring in double figures in the first three quarters, the Arcadia girls basketball team cruised to a 53-27 victory over Carey on Saturday at Arcadia High School. The Redskins outscored the Blue Devils 14-4 in the first quarter, 13-7 in the second quarter and 20-5 in the third quarter.

SYCAMORE — After an early eight-point lead prompted a New Riegel timeout, the Mohawk boys basketball team knew exactly what adjustment to make to put the game out of reach. After coming out in a half court man-to-man defense, Mohawk coach Paul Dunn switched to a full court press.

CAREY — The Carey boys basketball team opened its regular season with a non-conference game against area rival Riverdale and the game didn’t disappoint. Both teams traded big swings of momentum with Riverdale having an opportunity to tie the game in the final 10 seconds, but the Falcons fell just short as Carey won 55-52.
