COUDERSPORT 58, KEYSTONE 45

CLARION, Pa. – Coudersport claimed the third and final PIAA playoff spot awarded to District 9 in Class 2A with a 58-45 win over Keystone in the consolation game Saturday afternoon at Clarion University’s Tippin Gym.

The Falcons (20-4) built a 32-20 halftime lead they never relinquished on their way to the win.

Hayden Keck scored a game-high 17 points, with all the tallies coming in the first three quarters, while Travis Gleason added 16 points, 10 in the fourth quarter. Dillon Keglovits chipped in nine tallies, and Kolby VanWhy eight.

Troy Johnson led Keystone (21-4) with 14 points with Marc Rearick adding nine on three 3-pointers and Alex Rapp eight.

Coudersport will face District 10 runner-up Farrell in the PIAA playoffs Saturday at a District 10 site. It is a rematch of sorts, as Farrell beat Coudersport in the PIAA Class 1A football playoffs last fall.
