Boys basketball: Troy beats Sidney for 1st tournament win since 2012

VANDALIA — Josh Murphy, nor any of Troy’s seniors, had enjoyed a tournament win before Friday. No one in the program had since Murphy and his five fellow seniors were toddlers. The Trojans’ 14-year postseason drought is over. Troy dominated Miami Valley League rival Sidney 55-39 in a Division II district quarterfinal at Vandalia-Butler’s Student Activity Center to earn the program’s first tournament victory since 2012. “I thought about it when I was a kid all the time. I would go to Troy basketball games and think about winning a playoff game, and it means a lot. Just want to keep winning and do it one game at a time,” Murphy said.ExplorePHOTOS: Troy, Sidney face off in D-II tournament game...
