Boys

Sidney 3, St. Marys 3

ST. MARYS — The Sidney High boys battled St. Marys to a 3-3 deadlock Saturday to complete regular-season play at 10-5-1.

The Jackets jump right into Division 1 Sectional play Monday night at Centerville at 7 p.m.

Jalen Hudgins scored all three goals for the Yellow Jackets to give him 27 on the season, tops in the Greater Western Ohio Conference.

Assists came from Luke Rees, Gage Fridley and Riley Kittle, and for Rees it was assist No. 21, adding to his single-season school record.

Ian Humphrey was credited with seven saves.

“A very close and hard fought game,” said Sidney coach Daniel Wicks. “We controlled a great portion of the first half, but conceded a goal against the run of play. We were very sloppy to start the second half, going down 3-1. With six minutes remaining we made it 3-2, then tied it up with four minutes left. I’m very proud of the way we fought back against a solid St. Mary’s team (11-3-1).”

Lehman 2, Milton 0

Lehman ended its regular season on a good note, blanking West Milton at home 2-0 to finish the regular campaign at 6-9-1.

The Cavs will enter sectional tournament play Monday night at home against Greeneview at 5 p.m.

The game Saturday was scoreless at the half, but Jake Emrick converted on a penalty kick after Jacob Schmiesing was knocked down in the box. It gave the Cavs a 1-0 lead and about ten minutes later, Emrick assisted on a goal by Trey Kerrigan to make it 2-0.

“That’s the best Milton team we’ve faced in my four years here,” said Lehman coach Tom Wiseman. “They are faster and more physical than we’ve seen. It was great to be able to keep possession enough, win on Senior Day, and notch a victory going into tournament.”

New Knoxville 2, Ottoville 1

New Knoxville defeated Ottoville in non-league action on Friday, 2-1, to end regular-season play at 4-11-1.

The Ranger goals came from Jonah Lageman and Joseph Baende.

The Rangers open D-3 Sectional Tournament play Tuesday at Lima Temple Christian.
