HARROD - Mustang senior Spencer Miller scored 26 of his 43 points in the second half to lead host Allen East to a second half comeback win over local rival Ada 72-65 in a Northwest Conference boys basketball shootout Friday night.
The Bulldogs fell to 3-12 and 0-5 in the NWC with the tough loss, while the Mustangs improved to 8-6 and 1-3 in the NWC with their first league victory.
Ada led 57-48 early in the fourth period when Miller led a game-changing 22-2 spurt. Mustang senior Caleb Smelcer reeled off eight points in a row to give AE its first lead since early in the game at 58-57 with 4:35 remaining.
It didn't just happen. It took planning, coordination and lots of volunteers to step forward.
The food packets go to the hungry: 1,000 meals to ReStore in Ada, 6,000 meals to the West Ohio Food Bank and the rest to the African nation of Lesotho.
Here's Kristina Flax (left) and with coordinator BrittanyToney, who put it all together.
