Patriot cagers end with victory
Jay County High School’s girls basketball team finished its regular season with a 33-25 victory over the visiting Delta Eagles on Thursday.
The Patriots (18-5) survived a lackluster opening half, as they took a 11-10 lead into halftime.
But seven points from Taylor Homan and four from Abby Wendel helped the home team pull away in the third.
Homan, who finished with a game-high 13 points, scored eight points in the second half. Wendel followed Homan with six points, and Catherine Dunn and Bre McIntire both added five points.
Lyla Muhlenkamp and Ava Kunkler had two points apiece.
Jay County more than doubled its win total from last season (13), and won more games than the last two years combined (15). The team won 18 games for the first time since the 2008-09 team went 18-1 and was undefeated through the regular season.
The Patriots open sectional play against Huntington North at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Homestead.
