Patriots, Indians to renew rivalry
Local roundup
The Patriots and Indians are ready to battle again.
School officials signed a contract this morning to renew the state-line rivalry between Jay County and Fort Recovery high schools in boys basketball.
The Patriots and Indians will end a four-year hiatus when they meet during the 2013-14 season. The two-year contract calls for games Dec. 28, 2013, at Fort Site Fieldhouse and the following season on Jan. 3, 2015, at JCHS.
Jay County and Fort Recovery played in boys basketball for the first time in 1997 and met every year through 2006-07. The schools then took a year off before playing again in 2008-09.
The Indians lead the all-time series 7-5. Seven of the meetings between the two schools have been decided by three points or fewer.
Nichols places fourth
MONTPELIER — Travis Nichols continued his run as the top area driver Saturday at Montpelier Motor Speedway.
Nichols, a Portland resident, drove to a fourth-place finish in the Thunder Cars event. The only other local competitor to place in the top 10 was Fort Recovery’s Jamie Heiser, who finished eighth in the Super Streets race.
Richard Williams, Portland, and Cody Timmerman, Fort Recovery, followed Heiser in 14th and 18th respectively. Mason Stewart of Portland was 16th in the UMP Modifieds event.
