It’s new territory for the Pandora-Gilboa High School boys’ basketball team, and a familiar one for Putnam County teams. Ottoville and Ottawa-Glandorf girls' teams took the Columbus trip this past weekend.
The Rockets destroyed Crestview 70-58 in the regional title game at BGSU on Friday night. That win was the first-ever ticket to Columbus for the southeastern Putnam County team.
