VANLUE — One place to start when figuring out who won the Jefferson at Vanlue boys basketball season-opener Friday night at “The Stage” in Vanlue was experience; the host Wildcats have six seniors — five of whom played Friday night — versus the visiting Wildcats’ two — only one of whom suited up.

The second is size: Vanlue has 6-10 Toledo signee Zach Garber, while the tallest Delphos player was 6-3.

It all added up a 53-45 Vanlue victory.
