It didn’t take long for the Heritage 8th Grade Boys Basketball Team to return to their winning ways after last Saturday’s tough road loss. The Panthers came out motivated against Dublin Sells Middle School and made their statement early, using full-court pressure and an up-tempo pace to build a 15–4 first-quarter lead. Maddox Hart led the offense with 13 points, and Myles Sankey added a first-quarter three.

The momentum continued in the second quarter as Isaiah Jones drilled two threes on the night and finished with 10 points, while Braxton Wingo turned turnovers into 11 points. Amir Keita anchored the paint and added 6 points while Jonah Novosad contributed a free throw as Heritage stretched the lead to 32–14 at halftime.

In the second half, all 12 players contributed, with Jeremiah Lee scoring, Zavier Hunter adding 5 points, and Adam Osheba knocking down the late exclamation three. Heritage closed out a convincing 54–36 win to improve to 5–1 and now looks ahead to Tuesday’s road matchup with Marysville Eversole.

The Heritage Panthers delivered a strong all-around performance in their 36–15 victory over Dublin Sells, showcasing tough defense, balanced scoring, and excellent teamwork from start to finish.

The Panthers set the tone early, holding Sells to just one point in the first quarter and jumping out to a 9–1 lead behind aggressive ball pressure and disciplined team defense. Brandt Windholz, Angelo Gum, and Jacob Maul anchored the defensive effort, shutting down passing lanes and forcing Sells into tough shots.

After a slower-paced first half, the Panthers exploded offensively in the third quarter, putting up 20 points to break the game open. Thomas Smith, Ethan Smith, and Caden Ludban led the scoring surge as Heritage stretched the lead to 31–10 heading into the final period.

Heritage closed out the game with contributions from across the roster, including Conor Moore (3 points), Luke Schimmoeller (4 points), and steady play from Dylan Vincent and Carter Holstein, rounding out a true team victory.

The Panthers’ combination of lockdown defense and unselfish offense powered this convincing win and continues to define their identity.

Heritage now prepares for a challenging stretch with three road games next week, looking to carry the momentum into a tough slate.

The Heritage Panthers turned in a dominant performance last night, defeating Karrer 34–15 in a game defined by relentless defense and steady team play.

The Panthers set the tone early, locking down Karrer’s offense with outstanding defensive pressure. Caden Ludban, Thomas Smith, and Luke Schimmoeller led the charge, forcing turnovers, contesting shots, and creating transition opportunities. Their effort helped Heritage take a 15–5 lead at halftime and extend it to 27–6 by the end of the third quarter, effectively sealing the game.

Offensively, the Panthers were paced by Ethan Smith, who poured in 12 points to lead all scorers. Brandt Windholz, Luke Schimmoeller, Jacob Maul, and Luke Kosarko each added 4 points, giving Heritage a balanced attack that kept Karrer on its heels all night.

It was the Panthers’ help defense, communication, and unselfish teamwork that powered this impressive victory from start to finish.

Heritage returns to action Saturday at Pickerington Lakeview as they look to keep the momentum rolling.
