ANNA — Anna stayed undefeated on Friday by beating Shelby County Athletic League rival Fort Loramie 59-51.

The Redskins led for most of three quarters and were up 11 points midway through the third quarter, but Anna rallied behind senior forward Griffin Doseck to come back and win.

Fort Loramie scored the first eight points of the second half, but Carter Elliot hit a deep 3 from the left corner to end the run. Anna outscored Fort Loramie 14-2 to end the third and led by one point going to the fourth.

The teams traded blows early in the fourth quarter, but a Doseck 3-pointer gave the Rockets a seven-point lead at 52-45 with just under three minutes to play.

The Jets led 21-13 at the end of the first quarter but the Wildcats used a 14-8 scoring advantage in the second to pull within two points at halftime. Fairlawn led 44-41 at the end of the third, but Houston battled back to tie it before Piper’s game winner.

Riverside took a 51-50 lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Cardinals made 10-of-16 free throws in the quarter to re-take control.

“In that first half, our guards weren’t very successful in handling New Bremen’s pressure,” Riverside coach Seth Bodenmiller said. “We had 14 turnovers that let them build up a nice cushion.

“In the third quarter, then, we tried amping up our defense and started knocking down some shots. …When it got down to it, though, New Bremen made their free throws and those self-inflicted wounds of the first half proved to be the difference.”

Mitchell Hays led the Cardinals with 16 points while Bryce Blickle added 15. Brandon Heitkamp scored 11 and both Nolan Bornhorst and Patrick Wells scored 10.

Kameron Schlumbohm led the Pirates with 17 points while Kyle Knight scored 14 and Wyatt Auflick scored 10. Riverside shot 22 for 42 (52.4 percent) from the field. Both teams had 25 rebounds.
