PAULDING \u2013 The Paulding Panthers moved within one more victory in the Green Meadows Conference of the boys basketball league championship as the maroon and white held off a pesky Fairview squad 51-37 Friday night at the \u2018Jungle.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Panthers were on top 12-9 at the end of one period before outscoring the Apaches 17-16 in the second quarter for a 29-25 halftime advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fairview slightly trimmed into the deficit in the third period, picking up ten points compared to the Panthers\u2019 nine as the black and gold pulled within 38-35 entering the final period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the fourth quarter was all Paulding as the Panthers bucketed 13 markers and limited the Apaches to two points to secure the 51-37 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick Manz paced a balanced Panther attack that saw a trio of players reach double figures, scoring 13 points on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ethan Foltz and Peyton Adams both chipped in ten markers for Paulding, which improves to 11-5 on the season and 5-0 in the Green Meadows Conference. The maroon and white visits second place Tinora next Friday before hosting Wayne Trace in the conference finale on February 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke Zartman also had seven points for the Panthers with Isaac Reeb posting five and Casey Agler finished with four. Kane Jones recorded the remaining Paulding basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eli Shininger scored a dozen markers to top Fairview, which falls to 2-13 in all games and 0-5 in the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kale Salyers (seven), Brody Retcher (six), Adam Lashaway (five), D\u2019Andre Hastings (four) and Kasen Kauffman (three) completed the Apache scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
