LEXINGTON — When the Margaretta girls basketball team forced turnovers in their zone and man-to-man press with trapping and man-to-man defense in the half court, defense often led to offense.

CLYDE — Upper Sandusky advanced 10 wrestlers to district competition and placed second in Division II sectional action Saturday at Clyde. The Rams were topped by Clyde, 180.5-165.5, for first place, with Tiffin Columbian third with 147.5 points.

Branin Natatorium at Canton McKinley High School in Canton, but hoped to advance to the consolation finals or top eight finals on Friday.

NORTH ROBINSON — With Upper Sandusky leading by three late in the game Friday night, Jevon Dible was not about to just sit back and wait for Colonel Crawford to force the action.

CAREY — Seneca East gave the Carey boys basketball team a late scare Friday night, but the Tigers fourth quarter rally fell just short in the final game of the regular season for both Northern 10 Athletic Conference squads.
