A slot in the year-end Class 3 Region C playoffs was on the line Wednesday (Feb. 13) when the Fluco boys hosted the Mustangs from Monticello High.
The Flucos fell behind 1-9 early but fought back and were only down by two 20-22 at the half, Coach Jason Davis said. The Mustangs outscored the Flucos by a point in the third quarter 12-13. However, the Flucos rallied behind two three-point baskets by sophomore forward John Rittenhouse and 4-4 from the free throw line down the stretch by freshman guard Kobe Edmonds to record the win.
Rittenhouse led Fluvanna in scoring with 17, while Edmonds scored 16. Drew Pace had eight rebounds and Emory Davis had five assists and took three charges. The win put the Flucos into the Region playoffs even though the team does not have an overall winning record.
Unfortunately, the boys’ season ended at Friday’s (Feb. 15) quarterfinal game with a 37-64 loss to Heritage High in Lynchburg.
