Ottawa-Glandorf Wins Third Boys
Basketball State Crown with 67-46 Win Over Versailles
Titans defeat Tigers behind senior
T.J. Metzger�s Division III state record nine three-pointers
COLUMBUS, Ohio � Ottawa-Glandorf�s All-Ohio senior T.J. Metzger
drained a Division III state championship game record nine three-point field
goals and tied the Division III state championship game state record with 36
points to lead the Titans to a 67-46 win over Versailles in the 2013 OHSAA
Division III boys basketball state championship game Saturday in Value City
Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center in front of 13,851 fans.
The Titans, making their seventh state tournament appearance, have now
claimed three state titles (2013, 2008, 2004). They were the only returning
state qualifier from the 2012 tournament, where they lost to Portsmouth in
the semifinals.
The Titans (26-3) shot a scorching 75 percent from the field in the first
quarter and jumped out to a 24-11 lead. Metzger finished the first frame
with 18 points, including five-of-six shooting from behind the arc. Ottawa-Glandorf
outscored Versailles just 27-25 over the next two quarters, but the Titans�
momentum and Metzger�s sharp shooting kept the challengers at bay in the
fourth.
Metzger finished the game 11-of-17 shooting, including nine-of-14 from
behind the arc. In addition to the state records mentioned above, he also
broke the Division III state record for most three-point field goals in two
games with 13 (five in semifinals). Head Coach Tyson McGlaughlin also
received a solid contribution from his other All-Ohio senior, Michael
Rosebrook, who finished the game with eight points and eight rebounds.
�From the time we left the Schott last year these guys had that look of
disappointment, and rightfully so,� McGlaughlin explained in his postgame
press conference. �It was a long season of ups and downs but these guys
continued to battle and get better. You could see the last four games how
they stuck together and overcame adversity.�
Runner-up Versailles (23-6), which takes home its second state runner-up
trophy in as many appearances, was led by sophomore Kyle Ahrens and senior
Chad Winner, who finished with 12 and 10 points, respectively.

Division II championship game to win its first boys basketball state title
55-52 Saturday afternoon 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.�
St. Vincent-St. Mary (20-10) finished as state runner-up for the second time
in eight championship game appearances. The Irish were led by Jalen Hudson
who scored 17 points in his final high school game.
