The fourth quarter saw Chillicothe secure the win with 16 points against Hillsboro’s 11 points. Cam Reed threw a in two 2-pointers and a long 3, and Mason Swayne and Anderson threw in a 2-pointer apiece, but it wasn’t enough to catch up to Chillicothe, who scored 24 points for the quarter.

Kelton Anderson led scoring for the Indians with 20 points.

“We threw it all around the court, at times it felt like they had 10 guys out there.” said Hillsboro head coach Bruce Miles. “We did a real poor job of handling the pressure in the first half, and we dug too big a hole to climb out of. In the second half, I was extremely proud of our effort. The guys never gave up.”
