Ottawa-Glandorf Wins Third Boys Basketball State Crown with 67-46 Win Over Versailles
Titans defeat Tigers behind senior T.J. Metzger�s Division III state record nine three-pointers

COLUMBUS, Ohio � Ottawa-Glandorf�s All-Ohio senior T.J. Metzger drained a Division III state championship game record nine three-point field goals and tied the Division III state championship game state record with 36 points to lead the Titans to a 67-46 win over Versailles in the 2013 OHSAA Division III boys basketball state championship game Saturday in Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in front of 13,851 fans.

The Titans, making their seventh state tournament appearance, have now claimed three state titles (2013, 2008, 2004). They were the only returning state qualifier from the 2012 tournament, where they lost to Portsmouth in the semifinals.

The Titans (26-3) shot a scorching 75 percent from the field in the first quarter and jumped out to a 24-11 lead. Metzger finished the first frame with 18 points, including five-of-six shooting from behind the arc. Ottawa-Glandorf outscored Versailles just 27-25 over the next two quarters, but the Titans� momentum and Metzger�s sharp shooting kept the challengers at bay in the fourth.

Metzger finished the game 11-of-17 shooting, including nine-of-14 from behind the arc. In addition to the state records mentioned above, he also broke the Division III state record for most three-point field goals in two games with 13 (five in semifinals). Head Coach Tyson McGlaughlin also received a solid contribution from his other All-Ohio senior, Michael Rosebrook, who finished the game with eight points and eight rebounds.

�From the time we left the Schott last year these guys had that look of disappointment, and rightfully so,� McGlaughlin explained in his postgame press conference. �It was a long season of ups and downs but these guys continued to battle and get better. You could see the last four games how they stuck together and overcame adversity.�

Runner-up Versailles (23-6), which takes home its second state runner-up trophy in as many appearances, was led by sophomore Kyle Ahrens and senior Chad Winner, who finished with 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Columbus Bishop Watterson Wins First State Boys Basketball Championship

Eagles win the title over Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary 55-52

COLUMBUS, Ohio � Third-ranked Columbus Bishop Watterson held off a strong second half run by unranked Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary in the OHSAA Division II championship game to win its first boys basketball state title 55-52 Saturday afternoon in Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus.

After building a 10 point lead in the second quarter the Eagles saw their largest lead of the day whittled down to two points with 20 seconds left to play in the game after SVSM senior Jalen Hudson converted on two free throws. An Irish foul with 11 seconds to play sent Watterson junior Tommy Geraghty to the line where he made one of two free throws to give Watterson a three point lead. SVSM was left with one more opportunity when senior Franshon Bickley�s three-point field goal from the left wing missed as time expired, making Watterson the champion.

In its first trip to the state tournament and championship game, Watterson (28-1) was led in scoring by juniors Cody Calhoun and Matt Hughes, who each scored 14 points. Senior Bryan Jackson added 12 points to help pace the Eagles.

�We�re thrilled to be here, thrilled to be state champs,� said Watterson head coach Vince Lombardo. �We played two great ball clubs � I think beating (Kettering) Alter and St. Vincent-St. Mary, with the history they�ve had coming in, and coming in here the first time for our guys, just a tremendous job by our young men.�

St. Vincent-St. Mary (20-10) finished as state runner-up for the second time in eight championship game appearances. The Irish were led by Jalen Hudson who scored 17 points in his final high school game.

Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph Wins its Fifth Boys Basketball State Championship

Vikings defeat Leipsic, win title for first time since 1995

COLUMBUS, Ohio � Second-ranked Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph pulled away in the second half to defeat unranked Leipsic 87-63 in the OHSAA Division IV championship game Saturday evening in Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus.

VASJ�s 87 point effort was spearheaded by seniors Demonte Flannigan with 15 points and 12 rebounds and Duane Gibson Jr. with 22 points and eight rebounds. The Vikings shot 33-63 from the floor for a 52.4 shooting percentage in the game. VASJ finished with five players in double-digits scoring, including Flannigan and Gibson, along with sophomores Brian Parker, Carlton Bragg and Simon Texidor.

The 2013 championship game marked the ninth time VASJ had reached the pinnacle game. With the win, the Vikings now have five state titles, their last previous title coming in 1995. The Vikings finished the season with a 25-4 record.

Leipsic (25-5) stayed within striking distance of VASJ until about three and a half minutes remaining in the third quarter, when the Vikings tenacious defense was no longer able to keep VASJ's hot-shooting at bay. Leipsic was led in scoring by seniors Devin Mangas, who scored 18 points, Austin Brown, with 16 points and Caleb Barrera with 10 points. Brown also grabbed nine rebounds on the evening.

The Vikings were making their second state tournament appearance. The only other showing for the school came in 1925. Leipsic finishes as state runner-up in its first trip to the championship game.
