One of central Ohio’s traditional girls basketball powers will play for another state championship Saturday night.
Pickerington Central (24-3) faces Cincinnati Princeton (21-6) in the Division I state final at University of Dayton Arena, seeking its first title since 2018 and eighth overall. Tipoff is at 8:30 p.m.
The Tigers, who have been in three consecutive state tournaments but haven’t reached the final since 2019, earned this trip to Dayton with a 49-41 overtime win against Rocky River Magnificat in a semifinal Sunday at Mansfield Senior.
Princeton advanced by edging Springboro 49-47 in the other semifinal.
This is the last of seven state finals. Here are the scores of the other title games: Cincinnati Purcell Marian 72, Avon Lake 44 (Division III); Bellevue 40, Kettering Alter 29 (Division IV); Cincinnati Winton Woods 70, Whitehouse Anthony Wayne 55 (Division II); Portsmouth 53, Creston Norwayne 38 (Division V); Columbus Grove 65, Rootstown 46 (Division VI); and Waterford 48, Fort Loramie 46 (Division VII).
Central rolled through the first three rounds of the postseason, defeating Groveport 74-16 and Marysville 66-38 in district play and routing Dublin Jerome 60-29 in a regional semifinal before a 51-36 win over Olentangy in the regional final.
