Down by two points at halftime, the defense of the Pettisville Blackbirds shutout the Fayette offense in the third quarter and only allowed nine fourth quarter points and went on to defeat the visiting Eagles 39-26 on Saturday night. Fayette led 17-15 after the first half, but had allowed 6’9″ Pettisville center Cayden Jacoby to score 12 points, all inside the paint area. In the second half, they were able to hold Jacoby to just three more points but could not contain his teammates. Blackbird junior Joey Ripke scored all nine of his points after halftime and senior guard Jaret Beck scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter to fuel the comeback.
Fayette: 5-12-0-9 = 26 Kaden Frenn (7), Chase Moats (2), Wyatt Mitchell (7), Skylar Lester (3), Demitrium Whiteside (4), Xander Dunnett (3)
Pettisville: 11-4-9-15 = 39 Cayden Jacoby (15), Jaret Beck (10), Joey Ripke (9), Jack Leppeimeier (5)
