Southview outlasts Elyria 59-56

Despite being outsized down low, Southview played tough against Elyria and held off a last-second three-point attempt to win 59-56.

6-foot-6 Will Rudolph and 6-foot-5 Chase Farris combined for 29 points for the Pioneers, but a scrappy Saints defense didn't make things easy for them.

Farris could have had more points had more putbacks under the basket fallen in.

Mike Divila of Southview led all scorers with 16 points, uncluding two three-pointers in the fourth quarter. The Saints made seven three pointers in the game.

Charles Fletcher hit two free throws with less than 30 seconds left in the game to put Southview up the three points the team would ultimately win by. This might be the final game between the two teams, as Southview will most likely combine with Admiral King by next season.

Southview improved its record to 7-5, while the Pioneers fell to 6-6.
