Spartans Dodge Bullet to Stay Undefeated

Last week the community of Lima was treated to a battle of the undefeated!! In one of the most exciting middle school games ever, Coach Marcus Addy’s Lima West Spartans (15-0) defeated coach Duane Morgan’s 15-0 Dayton Wogamon Elks 56-54 on a game winning put back by Anthony Mosley.

This was a game of runs, and it was clear that whoever could make the last run would win.  Lima started the game on a 9-0 run, before Wogamon came storming back with a 9-0 run of their own. The rest of the first half was back and forth as Lima took a 2 -oint lead into halftime. 

In the 2nd half, Wogamon’s standout point guard Sellers Littles IIIl led his team on a run that would put Lima face to face with defeat for the first time this season. The Elks expanded their lead to 54-45 with 1:54 remaining in the 4th qtr. 

Faced with serious adversity, Lima West responded with an 11-0 run to win the game in front of a packed house. Lima’s big 4 all contributed. Quintel Wilson Jr chipped in with 9 points, Khalil Luster, and Cecil Benton Jr. both scored 11, but Camren Miles had a standout performance leading all scorers with 24 points. Sellers Littles III led the Wogamon Elks with 21 points and 6 assists, while big man Shawn Phillips controlled the lane with 11 points and 6 blocked shots. Congratulations to the Spartans for a big time win!
