(1) Trotwood 🐏🔥🔥rolls past Meadowdale 🦁 to Sectional Title 🏆
The Rams turned another hyped game into a rout, as they jumped out on the Lions early and often to a big win 95-38.
Amari Davis, the GWOC, District 15 Player of the Year, Mr. Basketball candidate and "Mr. Dayton HS Sports" candidate, was too much for the young but talented Lions to handle.
While Lions Coach Dwayne Chastain was upset about not winning, he felt his team played hard, had a good showing in the tournament overall and has a very bright future in the upcoming years.
Trotwood will face another City League opponent for the District Title as they take on Thurgood tonight (7:30pm)
(2) Thurgood 💜🏆 claims Sectional, ready for Rams
The Cougars continued to use their stifling Defense to shut down the Hamilton Badin squad and win the Sectional Title in Middletown 67-53.
The Cougars, who were tested, was able to ride the Elmore brothers, Anthony McComb, and a balanced attack to seal the deal. The defense has been stifling, especially in the 1st half.
Next game for the Cougars?
The highly anticipated rematch of Trotwood.
(7:30 pm UD Arena)
(3) Springfield 🐱🏆too deep for Sidney ⭐⭐as Stephens clutch💪😈
In one of the top games of the Weekend, Springfields' trio proved to be too much for All -American candidate and Va Tech committ Andre Gordon as the won a tough battle 65-60.
In a game that was tight throughout, Springfield held a 8 point lead midway through the 4th quarter when Gordon took over.
Sidney would get it to 2 but Springfield Jr G Larry Stephens Jr, Sr Star G Raheim Moss, and steady and fast rising G David Sanford was able to guide the Cats to its 4th consecutive District Title Game.
Springfield will face Cincy Elder in their infamous 9pm finale (Saturday Night).
(4) Stivers 🐅🐯🏆steamrolls Waynesville, looks to rematch 👀👀🔥🔥(D-3)
Stivers rode All-Ohio Junior G Trevon Ellis to a triple double to a Sectional win over Waynesville.
Ellis has a knack for doing whatever the team needs, and while was slightly overlooked for Dayton Public Schools and District 15 Player of The Year Awards, he is no doubt the Player the Tigers look to when things go awry.
Stivers will face the State Champs (Deer Park), the team that ousted them in the tounament last season in this same round on Sunday (3pm) at UD Arena.
(5) Taft 👀👀😲knocks off #1 seed Hughes, faces 🔥🔥🔥 Northridge🐻🐻 team (D-2)
Eyeballs were raised when Taft decided to join Hughes in the same Sectional bracket.
Well, those eyeballs have widened, as the the Taft Senators knocked off Hughes to win the Sectional title and to setup the Regional Matchup with Trotwood that some expect may be predicting.
However Northridge might have something to say about that
Northridge has stormed to a Sectional with a huge win over #2 seed Ben Logan 64-35.
Led by All-League Player Senior Twon' Hines, can the Polar Bears continue to roll and knock off one of Cincys Powerhouse teams?
Taft will play Northridge tonight at UD Arena (9:30)
(6) Fairmont 💙wins emotional game🙏🙏😢 over Wayne 🚄 (D-1)
The Fairmont Firebirds, playing with a heavy heart, took the tragedy and turned it into fuel as they were able to hold off Wayne to win the Sectional Title on Monday Night.
Fairmont held the lead for most of the game, but Wayne made a huge run to cut it to 2 on a Ronnie Hampton basket with less than 2 min remaining.
However the missed FT, and a couple key defensive stops to go with some made FTs and a big basket gave the Firebirds all they needed to squeeze past Wayne.
#6 Fairmont will face a Tough #2 Lakota East team, who just beat Steve Wright led Princeton 52-43 squad to get to the District title game.
The Game will be Saturday at UD Arena (7pm)
Our prayers go out to the families of the kid of a apparent suicide who was a former player for the Fairmont squad. The game was postponed because of the shocking news.
(7) Brookvile 👀👀falls in OT, ends historic season (D-3)
The Blue Devils season came to an end, in a 2-point loss in the Sectional Finals to Versailles in OT.
Led by All-State Candidate Jacob Gudorf, the Brookeville squad enjoyed their best season ever, amassing the most wins in school history.
(8) Wayne girls fall, Centerville girls cruise (D-1)
The Wayne girls season ended with a loss in the District Finals last weekend.
Coach Travis Trice had hoped to get the girls to its First Regional Semi, but it was not to be as the Warriors couldnt find the range before it was too late.
Coach Trice has a wealth of talent and his seniors have all committed to D-1 schools.
On the other hand, the Centerville Lady Elks are 1 win away from the State after another big win last night.
Good luck to the Lady Elks this weekend as they go for a trip to the Final Four.
(9) Centerville🦌⭐🌟🔥🔥🏆 boys looks impressive in big win (D-1)
The Elks havent lost in 2 months, and they continued the trend with a big win over Butler for the Sectional Title.
With the Tim Duncan like Mo Nije' in the paint and star G Ryan Marchal running the show, Coach Cupps and the #1 Elks are hoping they can reach the Regional Semifinals after this weekend.
They will face a tough Mason team on Saturday.
(10) Alter ♞♞🗡🔥🔥🔥🏆continues its torrid shooting, wins easily (D-2)
The Alter Knights, still rolling from its huge win over C-J, advanced easily with another big win over Fenwick 71-52..
The Knights have blown out all the competition, but will face a stiff test as Cincinnati Aiken (who defeated Wyoming 65-56) will head to town ready to take a District Title back to the Nati.
