DELPHOS — The Jefferson boys basketballers had not played a home game at “The Stage” since last season, so Friday night’s Northwest Conference clash versus Ada was welcome for head coach Marc Smith and his young charges.

The fans in attendance got their money’s worth as it came down to the final seconds, where freshmen Trey Smith hit a close-in shot with six ticks left to cap off a Wildcat comeback and help secure a 47-46 triumph.
