Presented By Accurate Heating, Cooling & Plumbing

The (17-5) Zane Trace Pioneers had a tough fight on their hands against (12-10) Meigs through the first three quarters, but the Pioneers outscored the Marauders 18-6 in the final stanza for a 57-40 Division 3 Sectional Championship at Zane Trace High School Friday night.

Meigs got out to a 6-2 start, before the Pioneers went on a 6-0 run for their first lead at 8-6. From there, it was nip-and-tuck for most of the next two quarters.

Meigs’ Ethan Stewart hit a three-pointer to pull the Marauders within 32-31 with two minutes to play in the third quarter, only to see the Pioneers finish on a 7-3 run to close the third period went to 39-32.

The fourth quarter was total domination by the Pioneers in their 18-6 final quarter run.
