UTICA – Utica senior forward Sean McCutcheon wore on his arm the scratches of a hard-fought battle between two rivals. The Utica boys basketball team came up short to Northridge 44-42 in Licking County League play on Saturday, Dec. 12; in a game where every point was of utmost importance and every shot was earned. “I’m just proud of the way they competed,” Utica coach Brian Radabaugh said about his team. “They just came up one possession short. As a competitor, you put yourself out there and you’ve gotta be able to live with the result and come back — win or lose — with the same attitude and the same mindset.”
