The Classic in the Country Challenge kicked off in Berlin, Ohio, with a big twist—teams faced the new 35-second shot clock, and it made a real impact. Springboro’s girls powered past a shorthanded Akron Hoban, while Bellevue staged a gritty comeback to edge Berlin Hiland. The shot clock caused several violations, forcing teams to rethink their strategies and keep the pace high. With standout performances and nail-biting finishes, this year’s tournament feels different. How do you think the shot clock changes the game for high school hoops? #Sports #Basketball #MLKDay
