Entering the fourth quarter, the Wauseon Indians trailed the Evergreen Vikings on their home court by eight points, then staged a furious comeback by outscoring the visitors 19-4 to win going away 51-44 in a battle for the top spot in the NWOAL Boys Basketball standings.   A Rliey Dunbar putback at the buzzer to end the third quarter gave the Vikings the eight-point lead and what appeared to be all the momentum heading into the final eight minutes.  However, the Indians quickly flipped the script, getting scoring from five different players in the quarter, including six each from Riley Riegsecker and Tyson Rodriguez and blitzed past the Vikings to sit alone in first place in the league.

Connor Keefer led Wauseon and all players with 15 points.  The victory improves their record to 3-0 in the NWOAL and 9-5 overall.  Next on the Indian’s schedule is a trip to Patrick Henry on February 2^nd to take on the Patriots.  Eli Keifer scored 13 points to pace Evergreen.  The Vikings drop to 2-1 in the league and 11-3 on the season.  They will next travel to Fairview on January 29^th to play the Apaches.

Holding a tenuous two-point lead with under two seconds remaining in the game, the Archbold Lady Blue Streaks escaped with a 48-46 road victory when Delta’s three-point attempt from the right baseline just missed its mark as the buzzer sounded.  The Lady Panthers actually had two shots from beyond the arc in the final seconds but could not find the bottom of the net in a heart-breaking loss.  Delta had rallied from an early ten-point deficit and had pulled within one point several times in the fourth quarter but missed several chances to take the lead. 

Sophomore Charlee Forward led the Lady Streaks and all the players in the game with 18 points.  Senior Kate Friess scored 16 points to lead the Lady Panthers.  The Archbold win moves their NWOAL record to 1-2 and 8-9 overall.  They will next play at home against the Evergreen Lady Vikings on Thursday, February 1, 2024.  Delta drops to 1-3 in the league and 8-8 on the season.  Their next game is away on Monday, January 29, 2024 against the North Central Lady Eagles.
