CENTERVILLE — Every time the Springfield High School boys basketball team made a push, Springboro had an answer — from downtown.
The Panthers hit 14 3-pointers — including seven straight in the third quarter — to beat the Wildcats 86-75 in a Division I district semifinal game on Monday night at Centerville High School.
Springboro senior Will Yates had a game-high 32 points, hitting six 3-pointers and senior Maxim Butler added 21 points, hitting five 3-pointers, as the Panthers (18-6) won their fifth straight game. They advanced to face Moeller at 1 p.m. Sunday at Xavier University’s Cintas Center in Cincinnati.
Senior Cabrae Byrd had 18 points, sophomore EJ Rice had 17, senior Bryce Washington had 15 and junior Zy’Aire Fletcher added 10 as Springfield finished its season 3-19.
The Wildcats upset second-seeded Beavercreek 71-65 in overtime in a second-round game last week to advance to a district semifinal for the first time since the 2020-21 season.
