PAULDING, Ohio (WLIO) — The first week of the boys basketball postseason delivered plenty of memorable moments across West Central Ohio, and one play stood above the rest.

Paulding’s Xander Kuckuck turned heads in the Panthers’ sectional final matchup against Swanton with a highlight-reel assist that earned K&M Contracting Play of the Week honors.

Kuckuck drove to the basket before spinning and firing a 360-degree pass to Jordan Manz, who cut to the hoop and finished the play for two. The heads-up decision and perfect timing between the teammates brought the crowd to its feet.

Paulding went on to dominate Swanton 64-26 to capture the sectional title.

The Panthers will next face Liberty Center in the district semifinal in Napoleon as their postseason run continues.

Congratulations to Xander Kuckuck and Jordan Manz for earning this week’s K&M Contracting Play of the Week.
