The storybook season for the Hillsboro Indians had a less-than-happy ending Thursday night when the Gallia Academy Blue Devils upset the homestanding FAC Co-Champions 59-58 in the D2 Sectional Final. HHS, in a frantic fourth quarter, trailed by as many 8 points twice in the final frame. However, the Indians came back both times and had two chances at a potential game-winning shot. Unfortunately, Hillsboro was unable to convert and was ousted from the tournament by the lower-seeded Blue Devils.
HHS, who never held a lead in the entire game, was led in scoring by Quentin Captain with 19 points. Other top contributors were Lawton Parry with 16 and Ryan Scott with 10.
