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 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.”

September 10 - CDAB Announces Changes To Sectional Site Selection
The Central District Athletic Board (CDAB) has made a major change in how Sectional Tournament sites will be determined in the sports of Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Baseball and Softball.  Schools will continue to seed on line and conduct an open draw meeting for each of these sports but tournament sites will now be based on seed.   For Sectional level games only, the better seeded team will be given the opportunity to host the game.  District level games will still be played at neutral sites determined by the CDAB.
