Hathaway Brown Claims Third Consecutive
State Title
Blazers defeat Dayton Carroll 54-51 for OHSAA Division II girls
basketball state crown
COLUMBUS, Ohio � Unranked Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown came back
from an early deficit and maintained its position for the final three
quarters, as the Blazers went on to win the 2011 OHSAA Division II girls
basketball championship Saturday in the Jerome Schottenstein Center. The
win gives Hathaway Brown its third consecutive state title.
Fourth-ranked Dayton Carroll (23-5) jumped out to a 17-9 lead at the end
of the first quarter, riding the aggressive play of second-team All-Ohio
junior guard Kelly Austria, who had 10 points in the opening period. The
Patriots shot 54 percent from the field in the first quarter and looked
poised to make the most of its first state finals appearance before the
two-time defending champions took a stand.
Hathaway Brown (18-9) improved its offensive output and defensive
pressure from the second quarter on. The Blazers were led by senior
captain Molly Crosby, who recorded 13 points and six rebounds. Senior
Tanisha Lawler and sophomore Vanessa Smith also tallied 12 points
apiece.
The win makes Hathaway Brown the 15th school in Ohio girls basketball
history to win three state championships. It is also only the second
team to reach a state championship game with nine losses or more. The
Blazers set a new set a state record, among schools in all divisions,
for most regular season losses by a state champion.
Dayton Carroll was making its first state finals appearance in school
history. The Patriots were led by an outstanding effort by Austria, who
led the way with a game-high 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting.

Harvest Prep Wins Second Consecutive
State Title
Warriors defeat Fort Loramie 51-31 for OHSAA Division IV State
Championship
COLUMBUS, Ohio - After a sloppy first half for both teams,
top-ranked Canal Winchester Harvest Preparatory emerged as the 2011
OHSAA Division IV girls basketball state champion after defeating Fort
Loramie 51-31 Saturday at the Jerome Schottenstein Center. The win gives
the Warriors their second consecutive state championship and second
overall in school history.
In the first quarter, Harvest Prep and Fort Loramie shot 20 percent and
13 percent from the field, respectively. Harvest Prep was able to set an
up-tempo pace throughout, however, and was able to capitalize by taking
a 19-15 lead into halftime. The defensive pressure continued for the
remainder of the game, as Harvest Prep accumulated 14 steals and forced
Fort Loramie into 23 turnovers.
The Warriors were led offensively by first-team All-Ohio senior forward
and Division IV Player of the Year Shicole Watts, who recorded a
double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Junior guard Jaren Francis
added 14 points.
Despite holding a 30-to-9 advantage in free throw attempts, Fort Loramie
was only able to hit 50 percent of its shots from the charity stripe.
The Redskins� shooting woes extended beyond the free-throw line, as they
only mustered an 18 percent field goal shooting percentage for the game
(7-for-40).
Unranked Fort Loramie was paced by third-team All-Ohio senior guard
Janel Olberding, who tallied 10 points and five rebounds. It was the
Redskins� second appearance in the state finals, as they also finished
as runners-up in 1997.

Anna Rockets Past Oak Hill for First
Title in 30 Years
Anna downs the Lady Oaks 50-32 for the Division III championship
COLUMBUS, Ohio� Third-ranked Anna
started hot and never looked back to defeat No. 1 ranked Oak Hill 50-32,
in the OHSAA girls Division III state basketball championship Saturday
night in the Jerome Schottenstein Center.
Anna (27-1) dictated the tempo of the game early and was able to
maintain the pace it wanted for the entire game. The Rockets were helped
by a great night from senior Megan Fogt, who led the way recording a
double-double with 16 points while grabbing 17 rebounds. Sophomore
Natalie Billing had a championship game to remember as well, scoring a
game-high 21 points alongside four rebounds and two steals. As a team,
Anna shot 51 percent from the field and 56 percent from the free throw
line.
Oak Hill played with great resolve despite
getting behind early. The Lady Oaks battled cold shooting throughout the
game, finishing with a 25 percent field goal percentage from the field.
Oak Hill was led by junior Taylor Hale, who finished with nine points
and six rebounds.
The state championship is Anna�s second
girls basketball title and its first in 30 years. The Rockets last won
the title in 1981 and followed up with a state semifinal appearance in
1982. This year�s state tournament trip marks the first time Anna has
returned to the final four since that 1982 campaign.
Oak Hill (25-1) finishes as the state
runner-up for the third time in three trips to the championship game.
The Lady Oaks were also runners-up in 2009 and 2004.
