JAMESTOWN — A strong run into halftime by Greeneview was the edge needed to pull out an initial win against its rival this season.

Ethen Caudill added 12 points and eight rebounds, and Jordan Erisman scored 14.

Greeneview made eight three-pointers in shooting 44 percent behind the arc, assisted on 17 of its 22 made baskets and fueled its play through 11 steals on defense.

Tyler Cross drained five threes to score a game-high 19 points for Cedarville. Mason Johnson had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
