BLUFFTON — The Fort Jennings  Musketeers  boys basketball team pulled away from a see-saw first half of action  Wednesday  and downed Riverdale 50-40 in their Division IV sectional contest at Bluffton High School.
The Musketeers (12-9) move on to face the Arlington Red Devils in the finals on Friday evening (approximately 8 p.m.).
Aaron Chandler hit four from long range in leading all scorers with 14 points, while an ailing Derek Geise came off the bench to drain 11 markers, while pulling down nine rebounds, for the Orange and Black.
Landon Kessler led Riverdale with 10 points.
The Musketeers led 15-8 after one period of action.
Riverdale came back to tie the contest and a Kessler 3-pointer gave the Falcons their first lead in the second stanza. The game would rock back and forth from there but a late basket by senior A.J. Korte (5 points) gave Jennings a boost going into the break with a 26-22 advantage.
Riverdale kept pace in the third with Kessler adding four points in the frame but a pair of Chandler triples kept the Musketeers in the lead going into the final period, leading 38-34.
Riverdale  could  muster just three baskets from the field in the fourth as Jennings built  up  as  much  as  a  13-point  lead,  outscoring  their foe 11-6 to gain the victory and move on in the tournament.
