Fitch's Wallace ready to play at Ohio Valley

He averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds last year for the Falcons.
AUSTINTOWN -- James Wallace, a Fitch High graduate, earned a full scholarship at Ohio Valley University in West Virginia where he'll continue his basketball career.
He chose OVU, a Division II school, because fourth-year coach Bill McGee is rebuilding and will give him a chance at playing at the varsity level right away, he said.
"I passed up going to Division III schools because of Ohio Valley's Christian background and smaller classrooms and I like their coaches," said Wallace, who plans to major in sports management. "Coach McGee is a Christian. He is a down-to-earth person and easy to talk to."
A three-year letterman at forward for the Falcons, Wallace (6-5) averaged 23.2 points and 10.3 rebounds last season for Fitch.
He scored 36 points, the second-highest total in school history, against East Liverpool and scored more than 30 points on four other occasions last season.

Porter, who is playing with Line Drive Academy this summer, batted .433 with 10 doubles and 29 RBIs as a senior, helping the Spartans (20-7) advance to the district championship game. He is the son of Doug and Karen Porter.
