Last year the Programs at The Regional level were not comparable to the District Programs.

Remember The Regional is run by The State and is sort of like their Sectional —- they do not give medals to individuals after the Regional Final. They give Trophies to the 2 teams — Regional Runner-up And Regional Champion Trophies. The programs last year had small pictures of each team that qualified for The Regional State wide. It was nice to have all 16 team photos but they weren’t large enough to make any distinctions.

I will try and take photos of Hiland and FCA from the Program tonight.

The best D4 Regional remaining in my opinion.

Mansfield St. Peters has been the #1 team for most of the season, deservedly so. Cornerstone Christian is the only private school that resembles Harvest Prep / Wellington etc that did NOT get moved up. Why? Because they have a base enrollment of 44, but a multiplier of 42.... which is one of the highest multiplier used in D4 when compared to actual enrollment #'s.

Cornerstone also faces teams like: St. Edwards, Cleveland Central Catholic, St. Ignatius, Solon, Lutheran East, Mentor, VASJ, etc that are massive basketball powerhouses and many of them D1 or D2. While competitive balance seems to have helped most D4 schools play on a more level playing field, this team seemed to still get through the loophole. Cornerstone Christian is, in my opinion, the massive favorite to win the D4 State title and whoever comes out of Region 15 will be playing against a powerhouse.

Great information, Lucas Davenport.......I always like it when people do their research on a topic, and you certainly have done so.

By the way, Russia is pronounced "Rooshee" instead of the way it is spelled.

Thanks Trojandave! South Webster learned about Russia (Rooshie) and Houston (Howston) in 2004. It was an awakening indeed.

I will be doing updates tonight of both games. And if ANYONE has a score from the other Regions then please post it on this thread. My goal is to have all of the D4 Regional Finals accounted for by the end of the evening and then to continue this thread on Friday Night.

My Whiteoak boys met the Russians in the final 4 of 2002. They led them by 11 at half but their 6’8 kid figured things out and Whiteoak realized where they were a bit. Whiteoak has no player in the rotation over 6’2 that magical year.

FCA first 2 possessions — Hiland turned them over.

Converted 1 for a tip in

Anderson answered with a 3 for FCA. Hiland made 2 FTs on next possession. Another steal for Hiland leading to 3 more points.

6-3 Hiland. 5:34. Timeout Knights. 3 turnovers in 4 possessions will do that.

10-7 Hiland. 1:40. I think The Hawks have already played 8 guys.

Little point guard for FCA has back to back baskets.
Collen Clark. 11-10. FCA. :30
