COLUMBUS — Perry marched into unexplored territory but the prime parcel of real estate belonged to The Wellington School when the Jaguars beat the Commodores 68-47 in a Division IV semifinal in the boys state basketball tournament Thursday night. With 6-foot, 9-inch Dustin Harder and 6-7 Noah Berry in its lineup, Wellington presented Perry with a challenge it had not had to contend with on its way to its first appearance in a boys state basketball tournament. The Jaguars owned the lane and took Perry out of its comfort zone after the Commodores got off to a blazing start and grabbed a 9-0 lead just over two minutes into the game. But, with Perry leading 18-13 after one quarter, the game shifted dramatically in Wellington’s direction when it ran off 13 unanswered points to start the second quarter to take a 26-18 lead. By halftime, the Jaguars were up 32-23 and never led by fewer than 10 points the last 14 minutes of the game.. Solomon Pierre-Louis led Wellington (20-7) with 16 points and Harder tied a Division IV state semifinal record with 21 rebounds.
