The D4 game is at a terrible time for me to get there, so I may just stay home until Saturday.

The semis were pretty good across the board, so hopefully the finals will be the same way.

First 2 games have been great games- Louisville builds 18 points half lead to have Cincinnati Aiken start 2nd have on a 15-0 run- Louisville was able to hang on for a 63-61 win for Division 3 State Championship

Maysville end game on a 16-2 run to beat Cleveland Glenville 74-67- Glenville was in control and started stall ball and lost momentum- started stall ball with about 5 1/2 minutes left- great game

lst time at state tournament at Dayton and Wow what a great place for high school state tournament- much better atmosphere then the Shot at OSU- 2 good crowds today so far- the announced D4 between 6100-6200 and D3 was larger.

Totally agree - was there in 2022

Agree 100%

Been going for years and this is a lot better venue than OSU. Great parking, close seating, and a short drive to plenty of food choices.

Really good game to start the last day with Lutheran East beating Columbus Academy by 4

Was a pretty back and forth game, but the guards for the Lue took over and carried them down the stretch.

For the second straight game, the Lue didn’t have the best player on the floor, as CA’s Jason Singleton was outstanding for the Vikings, but just didn’t have enough help late

Should be a great atmosphere for the D6 game- Marion Local vs Monroe Central- both schools will bring big crowds. Hope its a great game- 3 or the 4 games so far have been great games. D7 game will be a Russia invasion (lol) but should be a good game. The D1 will be interesting with 2 Central District teams playing for a State Title.

Monroe Central is about to win and Spectrum's play by play guy sounds thoroughly depressed.

Was it because he just watched that entire game? 😂

I’ll take an ugly dogfight win to win a state championship anytime, I’m just saying it wasn’t pretty.

Spectrum isn’t great for being the big dogs, which is tough since they really only have to be good for 3 weeks.

I hope they’ve tallied up the distance on those back to back bombs that Kwasniak hit to get his team back in the game

They are down 38-34 at the half, but he’s got 23 and has been ridiculous

I don't know a thing about the guy, but he seemed to be calling it like local ML broadcasters would call it. Maybe he was into the storyline of Marion Local winning both football and basketball in the same season.

The color analyst was more evenhanded.

They were the same way in the girls for Fort Loramie vs Waterford. Regardless, MC played stellar D today and should have been goo oven equal respect.

With this, plus how he called today, that means he’s probably a MAC guy.

38 and 6 assists

He was 13-23 from the field, he just couldn’t get the amount of shots off that he needed to for his team to win. Russia just swarmed him everywhere with length in the 2nd half

I thought the same about his Waterford call. It wasn't the worst homer job I've ever heard. He's probably from that part of the state. I guess Spectrum gets local media to call these state games. Nobody knows more about Ohio high school sports than Chris Wharff. Can you imagine him on Spectrum's broadcast?
