This year’s basketball season was a good one for Switzerland County High School, as three of the school’s four teams claimed conference championships.
The latest came this week, as the Switzerland County boys varsity team claimed a piece of the conference title – only their third title ever – when South Ripley defeated Jac-Cen-Del on Friday night.
The loss ended the conference season with the Pacers and the Eagles each holding 5-1 marks in ORVC play.
The boys reserve season also ended in unusual fashion, as five teams ended the year with records of 4-2 – creating a five-way tie for the conference championship.
Those sharing the title included Switzerland County; along with Jac-Cen-Del, Rising Sun, Southwestern, and South Ripley.
When the girls season ended, it was announced at that time that the Switzerland County Lady Pacer junior varsity team won the conference championship outright; and the Lady Pacer varsity girls team finished tied for third place in the league.
