By Mike Deak Columbia City showed why it's been regarded as one of the top outfits in Class 3-A. The Eagles ran out to a 17-4 lead and never looked back in a 75-33 win over West Noble Tuesday night in the opening game of the Columbia City Boys Basketball Sectional. The loss was the end of the road for the Chargers (5-18), which bids adieu to six seniors: Nolan Kelly, Trey Shisler, Trevor Steele, Brayden Ritchie, Blake Jones and Mason Taylor. Kelly finished the game with a team-high 17 points. Columbia City moves on to face Fairfield in Friday's first semi-final. Wawasee knocked out Tippecanoe Valley in Tuesday's second game, setting up a showdown with NorthWood in Friday's second semi-final.
