The Ottawa-Glandorf side filled King Horn to the rafters on Tuesday evening ...and the crowd went home happy.

O-G defeated Liberty-Benton 48-37 in the regional to advance to the state Elite 8 in Division III girls basketball. During the season, L-B had a nearly perfect record, having lost only one game and that was to its nemesis O-G.
