LEESBURG — The third annual Chad Hodson Classic was held Saturday afternoon at Fairfield High School’s Grandle Gymnasium to honor and celebrate the life of Chad Hodson and his message of having the “ultimate teammate.”
Celebrating Hodson’s memory with six games of high school basketball, plus the awarding of three scholarships, brought the Highland County community and surrounding communities together for the common cause of honoring Hodson — who passed away from cancer on Nov. 28, 2019 — in a way that was most fitting.
The six games of basketball saw Highland County teams win the first five games played, as the Lynchburg-Clay, McClain, Whiteoak and Hillsboro boys teams won their non-conference games, plus the Fairfield Lady Lions earned their second win of the season with a victory while they were down two starters. The Fairfield Lions boys team battled in the finale of the event, but fell just short with an overtime loss.
There were also recorded messages before each game read by Hodson’s daughter Landyn. Prior to the final game played, Hodson’s wife Jana and their daughter Hannah spoke to the fans in attendance and presented the Chad Hodson Memorial Scholarships.
Recipients of the three 2025 Chad Hodson Memorial Scholarships were: Claire Newkirk, Zane Matthews and Chad and Jana’s son, Dane Hodson.
“His dad would be so proud of him,” Jana said.
The final speaker was Hodson’s close friend, Jacob Zink, who spoke about Hodson’s faith and led the crowd in prayer.
MVPs were honored at the end of each game by members of the Hodson family. The 2025 MVPs were:
• Game 1: Lynchburg-Clay — Denver Clinton; East Clinton — Kaiden Roth
• Game 2: McClain — Zane Adams; Blanchester — Camryn Vogel
• Game 3: Whiteoak — Sawyer Blair; Portsmouth-Clay — Isaiah Whitt
• Game 4: Fairfield — Rilee Quickle; Portsmouth-Clay — Ava Demorest
• Game 5: Hillsboro — Jack Howland; Adena — Joe Francis
• Game 6: Fairfield — Logan McIntosh; Western Latham — Drew Haggy.

We still are going to have to do a better job on the boards against physical teams,” LCHS head coach Kyle Pertuset said. “I thought Denver’s shot selection was really good. He was able to score the ball very effectively at 75 percent, and we also got contributions from everyone else.
“We are far from a finished product, but I like what the guys in this locker room are capable of as we head into the new year. Braedon West hit a handful of big threes to swing momentum for us, and Asher Faust did a great job on their primary guard.”
The win improves the Mustangs to an overall record of 3-7 this season. ECHS is now 1-10 overall.

Owen Sykes really has to go for us, and if we establish an inside presence like that, it is going to be tough for teams to stop us.
