BLUFFTON — For the fifth straight season, the Patriots are champions.
Jay County High School’s girls basketball team secured the Allen County Athletic Conference regular-season championship on Friday with a 48-29 win over the Bluffton Tigers.
It gives the Patriots (9-7, 5-0 ACAC) back-to-back solo titles after earning a share with South Adams during the 2016-17 season.
Jay County doubled-up the Tigers (8-7, 3-2 ACAC) in the first quarter to the tune of 12-6 before grabbing a 23-16 advantage at halftime.
A 16-point effort in the third quarter allowed the Patriots to get out front 39-20 before putting away the Tigers in the fourth quarter for their 13th consecutive regular-season win against ACAC opponents.
Shelby Caldwell and Hanna Dillon led Jay County, which opens ACAC tournament play on Tuesday at Adams Central, with a dozen points respectively, and Kendra Muhlenkamp hauled in 10 rebounds.
