Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary Wins Second
Title in Three Years
Irish defeat Thurgood Marshall 57-46 for OHSAA Division II State
Championship
COLUMBUS, Ohio � Unranked Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary took its
first lead with a little under three minutes to go in the first quarter
and never relinquished it, cruising to a 57-46 win over Dayton Thurgood
Marshall in the 2011 OHSAA Division II boys basketball state
championship Saturday at Value City Arena.
Both teams started slow out of the gate, as St. Vincent-St. Mary and
Thurgood Marshall shot 39 percent and 25 percent, respectively, from the
field in the first quarter. St. Vincent-St. Mary was able to get things
going as the game progressed, however, as the Irish finished the game
with a 47 percent field goal percentage. Thurgood Marshall struggled
throughout, only connecting on 31 percent of its shots. This included a
1-of-19 mark from behind the arc.
St. Vincent-St. Mary (19-9) was paced by Lorenzo Cugini, who recorded a
double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Davonte Beard also
contributed 13 points. The win gives the Irish their sixth boys
basketball state championship in school history and second in three
years. These two teams also met in the 2009 Division II state finals,
with Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary coming out on top 59-53.
Unranked Thurgood Marshall (22-6) was led by Jordan Watson, who tallied
16 points and six rebounds.

period to run away with the double-digit win.

seven rebounds. First-team All-Ohioan Dylan Kauffman added 19 points and
eight rebounds and Jalen Miller contributed 13 points and six rebounds
for the Hawks.
The win gives Hiland its second boys basketball state championship in
school history, with the previous title taking place in 1992.
Harvest Prep (22-6) was led by second-team All-Ohioan Shakir Dunning,
who scored 17 points for the Warriors. It was Harvest Prep�s second
appearance in the Division IV state championship game, also finishing as
