Local roundup
INDIANAPOLIS - Rung by rung, the Patriots continue to climb.
Two more wins moved the Jay County High School girls basketball team one more step up as it earned the No. 7 ranking in the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association Class 4A poll released Monday.
Coming off of wins over Muncie Central, 61-50, and Anderson Highland, 57-50, the Patriots (9-0) earned 45 poll points. They were 13 ahead of No. 8 Penn (9-1) and 19 behind sixth-ranked Mooresville (8-0).
Ben Davis (9-0) remains atop the rankings, and South Bend Washington is second.
Jay County, which visits Blackford (5-3) tonight, is currently seventh overall in the Sagarin Ratings and was voted 14th in the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association poll.
The Patriots' averages of 35.1 points allowed per game and 28.2 average margin of victory both rank them fifth in Class 4A.
Stars beat Wes-Del
GASTON - There was just enough offense left in reserve.
South Adams High School's girls basketball team scored as many points in the fourth quarter Monday as it had in the previous three to defeat the Wes-Del Warriors 36-32.
