SPRINGFIELD — The Kenton Ridge High School boys basketball team is going to need some help to win its second Central Buckeye Conference Kenton Trail Division title in three seasons. Trailing by seven points at the half against Jonathan Alder, the Cougars took a two-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but were unable to hold off a late surge from the Pioneers, falling 70-62 on Friday night in Springfield. The first-place Pioneers improved to 12-4 and 6-1 in the division, moving one game clear of Urbana (12-3, 5-2) and two games ahead of Kenton Ridge (12-4, 4-3).ExploreWittenberg men’s basketball: Tigers stay in contention in NCAC with victory against Wabash “We took a big step backward...
