Senior guard Mike Cannon supplied the 3-pointers and junior post Chase Farris the free throws as Elyria won its fourth in five tries against Lorain County teams to even its mark at 7-7 overall. North Ridgeville slipped to 10-5.

It wouldn't have mattered without the efforts of Farris, who finished with 17 rebounds - some simply coming out of desire. Farris has always been able to draw fouls with his strong rebounding but had been under 50 percent from the line for the year. His two free throws Tuesday with 1:12 to play gave the Pioneers the final margin of victory as the defense took over with two huge stops - the first coming off a Will Rudolph blocked shot, the last simply good, old-fashioned aggressive play.
"He's been working very hard," Larrick said of Farris. "We told him free throws are going to win or lose some games. He was 6-for-6. He hasn't done that all year. His effort has to rub off on our other guys."
"Coach (Larrick) changed up my free throws," said Farris. "We've been working on them in practice a lot."
