Game notes: This is the eighth meeting all time between Jay County and Adams Central, and the Patriots have won all seven contests. After becoming conference rivals in 2014, these teams had not played since the 1970s ... Jay County scores 53.6 points per game while giving up an average of 46.8 to its opponents. Adams Central scores 45.5 points per game, and has allowed 57.3 points per game at the other end ... Including a loss to South Adams in the sectional tournament last season, Adams Central has lost each of its last three games against ACAC?opponents ... Jay County senior Jay Houck is closing in on the 1,000-point plateau. The forward needs 70 points to become just the third Patriot to reach the milestone.
