Arlington Wins First Girls State Basketball Title
Red Devils down Berlin Hiland 52-37 in their first trip to the
championship game
COLUMBUS, Ohio � The Arlington girls� nerves showed early in the
first quarter, but the Red Devils settled down to outpace Berlin Hiland,
52-37, in the 2012 OHSAA Division IV girls state basketball championship
game Saturday in Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on
the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus.
Arlington (27-1) shot an even 50-percent from the field, 17 of 34, while
defensively holding Hiland to shooting 26-percent from the field.
The Red Devils led the game from tip-off to the final whistle, pushing
the lead to 20, midway through the third quarter.
Leading the way for the Red Devils were sophomore Dani Heaster, who
scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds. Senior Alivia Recker, senior
Joy Reamsnyder and senior Amelia Recker scored 11, 11 and 10
respectively. Amelia Recker also collected 10 rebounds in the game,
recording a double-double.
Despite outrebounding Arlington 34-24, Hiland could not capitalize on
second-chance opportunities offensively. The Hawks were led by senior
McKenzie Miller who totaled nine points and five rebounds.
The 2012 title is the first for Arlington, winning in its first state
tournament appearance.
Berlin Hiland, in its 11th trip to the state tournament, finishes as the
runner-up for the fourth time. Their previous runner-up finishes came in
1989, 2009 and 2010. The Hawks finish the season 19-9.

Championship
Africentric Claims Third State Title with Overtime Win over Anna
Anna comes back late to force OT, but Nubians pull away
COLUMBUS, Ohio � Top-ranked and defending state champion Anna
completed a pair of three-point plays in the final 44 seconds to force
overtime, but 10th-ranked Columbus Africentric posted a 13-9 scoring
advantage in the extra period to win the OHSAA girls basketball Division
III state championship, 70-66, Saturday at Value City Arena in the
Jerome Schottenstein Center.
It marks the third title for Africentric (23-4), which previously won
championships in Division IV in 2009 and 2007.
Anna (27-1) outscored Africentric 18-7 in the second quarter to take a
31-25 halftime lead, but the second half went back-and-forth, with a
total of 13 lead changes and seven ties by the time the game ended. At
the end of regulation, Anna juniors Natalie Billing and Erica Huber both
converted old fashion three-point plays to tie the game with 29 seconds
left before Africentric�s Kiyanna Black�s five-foot runner rolled off
the rim forcing the game into overtime.
In overtime, Africentric used its speed and athleticism to get the ball
in the paint to take a 68-60 lead, but the Rockets fought back once
again to cut the lead to two, 68-66, with 34 seconds in the game. After
an Anna foul, Africentric missed the front end of a 1-and-1 but Ayrielle
Stith came up with a big offensive rebound and hit two foul shots to
give the Nubians the four point win.
Black led the way for the Nubians with 27 points, 12 rebounds, six
assists and two steals. Her 27-point total was just three shy of the
Division III record for most points in a state championship game. Anna
was led by Billing, who scored 23 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Rocket
senior Ashley Frohne, who fouled out of the game in the fourth quarter,
finished with 21 points and eight rebounds. Huber added 13 points.
Anna was making its fourth trip to the state tournament and owns state
championships in 2011 and 1981.

Hathaway Brown Wins Fourth State Championship
Blazers defeat West Holmes 53-41 for fourth straight title
COLUMBUS, Ohio � The OHSAA girls Division II state championship
trophy belongs to Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown for the fourth year in a
row following the Blazers� 53-41 victory over Millersburg West Holmes
Saturday at Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center on the
campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus.
The 2012 championship state tournament was the sixth straight trip to
Columbus for Hathaway Brown (22-5), finishing as state runner-up in 2007
and 2008 before making its current four-year championship run.
Claiming the trophy was far from easy as the Blazers climbed back from
an early deficit early, to pull away in the latter stages of a
well-contested championship game. Hathaway Brown junior Vanessa Smith
led all scorers with 19 points, also grabbing nine rebounds. Teammate
junior Nia Marshall was also key in the Blazers effort pulling down 10
rebounds while totaling nine points.
Hathaway Brown shot 55-percent from the field, while West Holmes managed
just a 26.8 field goal percentage.
West Holmes was led by sophomores Emily Molnar with nine points and
Laina Snyder, who totaled eight points and 10 rebounds.
The Lady Knights finish as state runner-up for the second time in school
history, after returning to the state tournament for the first time
since 1995. West Holmes finishes the season with a 24-4 record.

Division I Girls State Basketball Championship
Twinsburg Wins Back-to-Back State Titles
Tigers defeat Kettering Fairmont in title game for second
consecutive year
COLUMBUS, Ohio � Twinsburg jumped out to a 15-3 first quarter
lead and held off a determined Fairmont squad as the Tigers defeated the
Firebirds, 57-51, in the 2012 OHSAA Division I girls state basketball
championship game Saturday night in Value City Arena at the Jerome
Schottenstein Center. It was the second consecutive year Twinsburg
defeated Fairmont for the Division I girls� state basketball title.
After a first quarter where they shot 14-percent from the field, the
Firebirds climbed back into the game and only trailed 34-32 with five
minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. However, that is as close as
the Firebirds would get as the Tigers pulled away late.
Twinsburg (25-3) helped its cause by outrebounding Fairmont 36-23 and
shooting 44.4-percent from the field, as opposed to the Firebirds� 36
field goal percentage. Twinsburg becomes the 11th school in OHSAA
history to record back-to-back state titles.
Leading the effort for the Tigers were junior Ashley Morrissette�s 22
points and eight rebounds, senior Malina Howard�s 14 points and nine
rebounds and senior LaShawna Gatewood�s double-double of 10 points and
10 rebounds.
The Firebirds were led by junior Chelsea Welch�s 18 points and six
rebounds and sophomore Kathryn Westbeld�s 15 points, 13 of which came in
the first half.
Fairmont, in its third consecutive trip to the state tournament,
finishes as the runner-up for the second time. The Firebirds finished
the season 24-4, with two of their losses coming to Twinsburg.
