The Okaw Valley boys’ basketball team won the Little Okaw Valley Northeast Conference championship by defeating Decatur LSA but could not carry that momentum into the LOVC companionship game against Cumberland Saturday.

“We had a solid week going 3-1 and played three of the best defensive games in a row that I have been a part of,” said OV coach Brooks Inman. “We allowed 83 points total over the first three games of the week. Our effort and attention to detail was tremendous.”

Against Decatur LSA, OV had to make a fourth quarter comeback to overtake LSA in a close 38-36 game.

OV took a 14-11 lead into half, but LSA outscored the Timberwolves 13-4 to take a 24-18 lead.

In the fourth quarter, OV came back with a 13-4 run to overcome LSA.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
