ELIDA — Few people knew quite what to expect of Shawnee basketball this season. After all, Jaden O’Neal took his 20-plus scoring average and headed to Capital. So Shawnee gave the fans a little serving of what could happen this year. Shawnee’s transition game overwhelmed Lima Central Catholic in a 69-55 victory over the T-Birds in the opening game of the Elida TipOff Classic on Friday night at the Elida Fieldhouse. And while Shawnee played an excellent first half, the T-Birds often looked like a team that had graduated five players from last year’s state title team. LCC made 15 turnovers in the first half and 27 for the game, which only flamed the Shawnee running game. “I thought our defensive energy, especially early in the game, gave us opportunities in transition,” Shawnee coach Mark Triplett said.
