The Delphos Jefferson Wildcats played tenacious defense and used their size to control the boards en route to a 54-44 Northwest Conference victory over Lincolnview Friday night.<\/p>\n

With two post players measuring 6-4 and 6-5, and two guards standing at 6-0, the taller Wildcats out-rebounded the Lancers 20-10 during the game, and outscored Lincolnview 18-9 in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted it more,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Brett Hammons said. \u201cThey executed better than us, we didn\u2019t rebound and we got stagnant in our half-court offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Lincolnview\u201cIt\u2019s kind of been the common theme of our year — teams push us around down low, and we need to get tougher,\u201d Hammons added.<\/p>\n

The Lancers trailed 36-35 to start the fourth period. The Wildcats scored with 4:48 left on a basket by Drew Reiss.\u00a0 Lincolnview responded with a three-pointer by Caden Ringwald to tie the game at 38. Delphos Jefferson countered with a trey by Tyler Bratton, but Chayten Overholt drilled a triple to tie the game at 41 with 4:03 remaining in the game. The basket would prove to be Lincolnview\u2019s final points until just five seconds were left on the clock.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats went on a 12-0 run, including a three-pointer by Jace Stockwell and five points by Reiss to seize control of the game. Lincolnview\u2019s final points came with five seconds left in the contest, on a basket and free throw by Tristin Miller.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew going in that Ringwald, Rager, Overholt, and the Miller boys could stroke it,\u201d Delphos Jefferson head coach Jordan Jettinghoff explained. \u201cWe knew if we extended a little bit and made them get into the lane into our \u2018bigs\u2019, they would be bothered by our height, and we did an absolute fantastic job in the fourth quarter of executing the game plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lancers led 10-6, including a buzzer-beating by Overholt at the end of the first period. In the second quarter, Delphos Jefferson\u2019s Brenen Auer scored eight consecutive points, but it was Stockwell\u2019s trey at the buzzer that tied the game at 26 at halftime.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats opened the third quarter by scoring the first eight points to lead 34-26.\u00a0 The Lancers didn\u2019t score until the 4:01 mark, when Ethan Kemler hit a basket, followed by a trey by Overholt.\u00a0 A buzzer-beating basket by Ringwald trimmed the deficit to 36-35 at the end of the period.<\/p>\n

Overholt led all scorers with 18 points, including 12 in the first half.\u00a0 Stockwell and Auer each scored 16 for the Wildcats.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats (7-9, 4-1 NWC) will play at Arlington tonight.<\/p>\n

The loss dropped Lincolnview to 8-9 (2-4 NWC). The Lancers will host Delphos St. John\u2019s tonight.<\/p>\n
