Keith boys win coin toss, set to host tournament

The Keith boys won a coin flip with Sunshine Wednesday morning and will host the class 1A, area 5 basketball tournament.

The Bears and Tigers split their meetings this year and had identical 5-1 area records, meaning the coin flip was needed to break the tie.

Keith winning the coin flip means the Bears boys and girls will both host area tournaments in Orrville next week.
