BOYS BASKETBALL

Delaware Hayes stormed back late, cutting a 37-24 fourth-quarter deficit to a single point with 1:04 to play, but turnovers on its next two possessions killed the rally during a 46-38 loss to host Dublin Scioto Friday night.

The Irish (4-1, 1-0) made seven of their nine free throws in the final 49 seconds to seal the deal.

“I was proud of our kids for staying together and fighting, but playing tough for 32 minutes will continue to be our goal,” Hayes coach Jordan Blackburn said. “They showed a lot of fight getting back into it … but there is a winner and a loser. If we can eliminate turnovers next time, I like our chances.”

Terin Kinsway led the Pacers (2-4, 1-1) with 17 points and nine rebounds.

Victor Mwamba led Scioto with 15 points.
