Elyria Pioneers Ready for High-Speed Showdown With King
Elyria high school’s basketball team, led by Rhodes, jumps from slow motion to faster pace as they prepare for a Class AA District clash against Admiral King after a cautious win over Cleveland Rhodes. Elyria built a 17-point halftime edge but eased in the third, then steadied late to secure a 68-59 victory. The Pioneers relied on strong defense, height, and Harald Day's key six points in the late stretch. Rhodes struggled with a pattern offense and poor shooting, finishing at 22 percent as Elyria hit 28 percent, one of the season’s low marks.
