Game Recap: HMS 7th Grade Boys vs. Eversole
The Heritage Panthers continued their strong play with a convincing 30–14 victory over the Eversole Run Eagles, using relentless defense and steady execution to control the game from start to finish.
Heritage came out locked in defensively, building a commanding 14–3 first-quarter lead behind the efforts of Jake Maul, Caden Ludban, and Luke Schimmoeller. Adding to the momentum, Angelo Gum calmly stepped to the line and knocked down two technical free throws, helping extend the early advantage.
The Panthers’ defensive intensity never let up, as they carried a 16–6 lead into halftime, forcing turnovers and limiting quality scoring chances. That effort continued into the third quarter, where Cole Lybarger, Brandt Windholz, and Dylan Vincent helped clamp down on the Eagles, pushing the lead to 23–6 heading into the final period.
Offensively, Ethan Smith and Thomas Smith led the scoring for Heritage, with Conor Moore adding points late to cap off the team effort. The Panthers closed out the game with poise, securing the 30–14 win.
It was a complete performance built on defense, teamwork, and unselfish play.
The Panthers return to action Thursday at Upper Arlington Hastings.

The Panther 8th Grade Boys Basketball Team hit the road Tuesday night to take on Dublin Eversole Middle School and delivered another strong performance. Coming off a solid win last Thursday, Heritage wasted no time setting the tone. Right from the opening tip, Braxton Wingo and Maddox Hart led the charge, scoring early and often to give the Panthers a 17–9 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The momentum carried into the second quarter as the Panthers’ defense continued to shine. True to form, Heritage applied relentless full-court pressure and held Eversole scoreless in the period. Balanced scoring was on full display, with nine Panthers finding their way into the scoring column, as Heritage took a commanding 30–9 lead into halftime. Hart finished the night with a team-high 12 points, while Wingo added 6.
After the break, the Panthers kept their foot on the gas. Myles Sankey contributed 6 points, Jeremiah Lee and Isaiah Jones each added 3, Christian Sherrill scored 2, Jonah Novosad chipped in 5, Zavier Hunter added 6, and Amir Keita scored 5 while providing strong defense in the paint. All 12 Panthers saw quality minutes, played with great effort, and competed as a true team. Heritage closed out the night with an impressive 48–34 road victory.
