The Keystone Wildcats had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10 points), and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They slipped by LaBrae 55-54. The win was all the more spectacular given Keystone's disadvantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 459th, while LaBrae is ranked 222nd).
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Keystone to victory, but perhaps none more so than Grant Hartley, who scored 24 points along with six rebounds and five steals. Hartley is crushing the steal category: he's posted at least two every time he's taken the court this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Liam Goran, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and 11 rebounds.
