Local Roundup
KETTERING, Ohio — The only time the Indians led in the second half was when it counted.
Fort Recovery High School’s boys basketball team trailed by 10 points with less than six minutes to play Saturday at the Greater Western Ohio Conference Holiday Hoops Invitational at Fairmount’s Trent Arena. But four different Indians scored as they rallied back to within one, and senior leader Wade Gelhaus hit the game-winning hoop in the final seconds for a 53-52 victory over the Miamisburg Vikings.
The Indians (7-1) finished the game on a 16-5 run with half of those points coming from junior Elijah Kahlig, who finished with a game-high 25. Ben Dilworth, Kyle Schorer and Wes Wenning also scored down the stretch for FRHS, which pulled to within one with 2:37 to play.
Miamisburg (6-3) pushed its lead back to 52-49, but Kahlig scored to close the gap to one again before Gelhaus hit the game-winner for his only hoop of the fourth quarter.
Kahlig shot 9-of-13 from the field as he led the Indians. He hit three 3-pointers and also grabbed seven rebounds. Gelhaus had 15 points and 12 boards.
Jeremy Randolph hit every shot he attempted, including four 3-pointers, to pace the Vikings with 15 points. Connor Brown added 14.
