Weekend Roundup
Fort Recovery went on the road Saturday night and had much the same experience Jay County did in its two games this weekend.

Fort Recovery (3-6) shot 49 percent for the game, including 54 percent in the second half, but could not overcome the Lancers’ free throw advantage.
Lincolnview went to the foul line 37 times in the contest. It made just 24 of those shots (65 percent), but it was more than enough.
The Indians took just seven free throws in the contest and were called for 25 personal fouls. Lincolnview was whistled for just eight personal fouls.
Dusty Tobe put in 23 points for Fort Recovery, which trailed by five at halftime and 10 after three quarters but could not make a comeback. John Bihn finished with 10 points and nine rebounds, and C.J. Tobe had nine points.
Tyler Wuebker had five rebounds, and Greg Faller finished with four assists.
Nick Missler was outstanding, hitting 12-of-14 from the field and 8-of-9 from the line for 32 points. He also matched teammate Ross Evans for a team-high eight rebounds for the Lancers.
Travis Osting scored 14 points and had five steals, and Evans added five steals and three assists.
Fort Recovery also lost the junior varsity contest 41-37 in overtime. The Tribe shot just 1-of-7 in the overtime period.
