With girls sectionals taking up much of the court time across the Hoosier state this week, Thursday was the big opening for the boys teams to get a game in before ceding their time back to the girls for the weekend and all four teams in Z-Land took advantage of that time with tough contests.
Heritage, Adams Central and South Adams are all scheduled to compete again on Saturday, while Bellmont will have the night off with hopes of supporting the girls team in the sectional finals Saturday evening at Norwell.
THURSDAY SCORES
Heritage 57 FW Canterbury 47
The Patriots (10-6) exploded in the second quarter with a 21-point performance on their way to a non-conference win over Canterbury (6-10).
Landon Lybarger led the team with 19 points, knocking down four shots from long range to lead the Patriots.
Lantae Cassel scored 18 for the Patriots in the win.
No stats were provided for Canterbury.
The Patriots will play an important game in the ACAC Saturday afternoon against Bluffton. That contest can be heard live on WZBD, 92.7 FM upon the completion of the Jay County Wrestling Regional.
Adams Central 56 Fremont 41
