My high school, Oak Hill, took the court this afternoon at Conseco Fieldhouse searching for its first ever State Girl's Basketball Championship. As I was driving down this weekend I knew it wouldn't be easy. Oak Hill (2nd Ranked in 2A and 26-0) was going to be battling Heritage Christian (#1 Ranked in 2A and winners of the 2006 and 2007 State Championships). The Oak Hill section was rockin' and rollin early. Oak Hill sold over 2,500 tickets, the most by far in the morning sessions. The Golden Eagles trailed only 20-15 at the half, but totally fell apart in the second half before losing 53-31. It just wasn't the Golden Eagles day as they were off on offense and also couldn't keep up with the talented Heritage Christian team. Heritage Christian is awesome. They win their third straight state title and have everyone back next year. I don't think any team has ever won four in a row. For Oak Hill, they are going to be just as good next year as they only lose one quality player from this year's 26-1 team. Oak Hill has nothing to be ashamed of. They got to the big dance and this very easily could be the same two teams next season. It was obvious that Heritage Christian had been in this setting before. They showed today that they were the better team.
