Alter falls to Hathaway Brown 48-35 in D-II girls state final
COLUMBUS — All-Ohioan Mylan Woods scored a game-high 16 points and Shaker Heights Hathaway Brown covered Alter with a defensive blanket to win the girls Division II state high school basketball championship at OSU’s Schottenstein Center on Saturday, March 20, 48-35.
Alter never led and pulled within 28-27 late in the third quarter before Hathaway Brown (23-4), the defending state D-II champ, reasserted itself behind Woods and Alanna Guy (10 points).
Whitney Dabbelt led the Knights (24-3) with eight points. Allison Bockrath, Ashley Christie and Courtneyh Christie all added six points for Alter.
Kaila Howe buried a 3-pointer from the wing with seconds remaining in the half to pull Alter within 19-15 at the break. Alter trailed 9-5 after the first quarter in a defensive struggle. The Knights never led in the first half and trailed 18-9 midway through the second period.
It’s the third consecutive year these teams have met in the final four, and each have won state titles. Hathaway Brown beat Alter in last year’s semifinals, then won the championship. Alter took the ’08 title after beating HB 60-48 in that title game. Brown also was the ’07 state runner-up.
This is the second of four title games today. Findlay Liberty-Benton handed Middletown Madison its first loss in a battle of unbeatens in the opening D-III title game, 66-44. FL-B completed a perfect 27-0 season, the 40th girls team to do so in Ohio girls hoop history.
Madison ends 26-1.
