Needing a big spark offensively in the second half, the Dayton Broncos got that, and then some from Gilbert Sanchez as the senior scored all 20 of his points in the second half, and that would be enough to make Dayton a 60-55 overtime winner over the Cleveland Indians in the district opener for both teams on Friday night at the Broncos Gymnasium. Cleveland got a game-high 26 points from Antonio Wheeler. The Indians jumped out early on as a Wheeler steal and bucket made it 8-2. Dayton quickly came back and got back-to-back three-pointers by Donovan Orebo and Houston Gault to tie the score at 8-apiece. Tanner Boufford then got into the act and connected from downtown, and the Broncos led 11-8. Cleveland then went on a 12-5 run to move ahead 20-16 thanks to a three-pointer by Wheeler with 2:38 left in the second quarter. Dayton closed within 22-20 late in the first half with a trey by Boufford. The Indians would lead 24-22 at the break. Midway through the third period, Cleveland built a 30-25 before a three-pointer by Sanchez and a three-point play by Gault gave the Broncos the lead at 31-30. The Indians scored the final three points of the third quarter to take a 33-31 advantage heading into the fourth quarter of play. Both teams went back and forth in the fourth quarter, with Wheeler scoring on the inside to give his team a 36-35 advantage with 6:05 left. Cleveland then built a 46-38 lead before back-to-back treys by Sanchez with 1:49 left closed the gap to 46-44. With the Indians leading 52-49 with 3:1 seconds left, Sanchez was fouled while attempting a three-pointer and he went on to make all three free throws to send the game into overtime. In the extra time, it was Dayton outscoring the Indians 8-3 to win the game. A free throw by Landon Baldwin made it 58-55, then a pair of free throws by Braylen Cook made it a five-point and put the game away. Gault finished with 13 points while Boufford and Orebo each finished with 8-points apiece. The Broncos will travel to Anahuac on December 30 for a non-district game.
