Jefferson beats Fort Loramie in D-IV boys regional semifinal
KETTERING — Joby Jackson scored 16 points and center Adreian Payne got a key steal and two free throws in the final 34 seconds to help the Jefferson High School boys basketball team beat Fort Loramie 50-45 in a Division IV regional semifinal on Tuesday, March 16, at Trent Arena.
Payne, a 6-foot-10 Michigan State recruit, finished with 12 points, while Fort Loramie’s Mark Frilling led the Redskins with 21.
Jefferson will play Fort Recovery in the D-IV regional title game at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Trent Arena.
The game was tied four times in the fourth quarter, but Jefferson trailed for only the first eight seconds of the quarter before Jackson got a basket to put the Broncos up 36-34 with 7:52 left.
Fort Loramie had possession with 1:30 left after Frilling made a free throw to cut the lead to 46-45, but the Redskins couldn’t convert on several 3-pointers, and Payne’s two free throws with 6.8 seconds left help to seal it.
