Unbeatens fall
They are becoming fewer and fewer.
I’m talking about area unbeaten basketball teams.
Findlay’s boys and Fostoria St. Wendelin’s girls both fell from the ranks of the unbeaten yesterday.
The Trojans went up to Toledo Scott and dropped a 67-54 decision to the Bulldogs. They scratched their way back into the game and got to within 2 points with a few minutes left when a technical foul on an FHS player kind of turned the tide back in Scott’s favor.
St. Wendelin, meanwhile, started 10-0 and dropped a 40-34 game at Van Buren last night. The Mohawks were doomed by a 2-of-25 performance from 3-point range and 0-of-2 effort from the line.
Hey taking a loss isn’t all that bad --- especially when it’s a non-conference game. I think it really does help some teams in the long run because it takes down that cloak of invincibility that some teams feel they have when they are unbeaten. It refocuses them on those little things they have to do to get better.
In the 10 area leagues we have teams in at The Courier the unbeatens are now few and far between.
On the boys side, we have Liberty-Benton (10-0) and Van Buren (11-0) seemingly on a collision course in the Blanchard Valley Conference while Van Wert is 10-0 in the WBL and tied for first in the standings with Ottawa-Glandorf at 3-0.
For the girls in the 10 conference just one unbeaten team remains --- Hopewell-Loudon at 13-0.
This is the stretch run where games begin to matter than much more…it should an exciting lead up to Ohio HS March Madness.

…If you have a pint sized Big Ben fan this might be the perfect Christmas gift.
