MOWERYTOWN — The St. Joseph Flyers went on the road for their tournament game, but they must have forgotten to pack their offense.

WAVERLY — To say the Wheelersburg Lady Pirates had a cold shooting game is like saying it’s cold in the Antarctica, Cold shooting spelled doom for the Pirates as they fell to the Piketon Lady Red Steaks i48-35 in the Division 5 district semifinals on Saturday at Waverly’s Downtown Arena. The Lady Pirates were plagued early by turnovers and missed shots, many at close range. Head coach Dusty Spradlin said missing shots and giving up too many second shots hurt his team early. “

FRANKLIN FURNACE — If you went to the race track and bet a trifecta, it would be smart to include Eli Whaley. If you were just straight betting the race, go with the Green Bobcats.

Whaley scored a career high 32 points as he made eight 3-point goals. Whaley scored 12 points in the first quarter — all on 3-pointers — as the Fly
