The Indians (11-3), who limited New Knoxville to 28 points in their previous win Thursday, held South Adams (9-9) to six or fewer points in each of the first three quarters. That included a 19-2 advantage in the third quarter to build an insurmountable 44-13 lead.
Val Muhlenkamp and Alli Vaughn each scored a dozen points to lead Fort Recovery, which will host Coldwater on Thursday. Kierra Wendel followed with 10 points.
Kristen Wynn led South Adams with nine points.
