FR four stars

(2-11-20) Fort Recovery hired two new head basketball coaches this season, Jim Melton (boys) and Holly Gann (girls). The results have been what Indian fans have to be proud of, both teams have gone undefeated in the MCL and are the 2019-20 MCL Champions.

The MCL titles are the first for Ft. Recovery since the SSN started the (mythical) league.

Two games (one on the boys side and one on the girls side)  remain this season in the MCL, it will be the Marion Local-Coldwater match-ups.
