Top-seeded Pickerington Central was on the ropes to upstart Olentangy Liberty, but dug deep for a 7-0 run in the final 41 seconds to win its eighth Division I district title in the past 11 seasons.
Division I signees Imarianah Russell and Mya Perry combined for 38 points, but it was Reynoldsburg's defensive work that stymied Dublin Coffman and paved the way to a 56-47 win in the Division I regional final. Steve Blackledge writes for Saturday Press Pros.
