Western Reserve's Buchanan is All-Ohio honorable mention

COLUMBUS — Western Reserve senior Chris Buchanan has doubled up as an all-state caliber athlete. Just over three months after earning All-Ohio recognition as a wide receiver in football, Buchanan was an honorable mention selection on the Division III all-state boys basketball teams, announced on Wednesday by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association. In a year they returned just 148 total points from a 22-win team, Buchanan helped the Roughriders to eight straight victories and a 14-win season this winter. He averaged 14.2 points and 8.6 rebounds for the Roughriders (14-8, 9-5), who also won at least one tournament game for a 19th time in the past 21 seasons. Buchanan posted six double-doubles in points and rebounds this season, and was just three rebounds away from making that nine double-doubles. In his two seasons in the varsity rotation, Buchanan was part of 36 wins, a Firelands Conference championship and a sectional title. In football, Buchanan caught 46 passes for 702 yards (15.2 average) and five touchdowns for the Roughriders (6-5), which earned him All-Ohio honorable mention in Div. VI on Dec. 5.
