COLUMBUS (AP) — Brian Parker scored 17 points and Dererk Pardon flirted with a triple-double with 15 points, 12 rebounds and nine blocks to lead top-ranked Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph to a 63-50 win over defending champion Lima Central Catholic in the Division III title game on Saturday.

Six-foot-10 Carlton Bragg, the Associated Press player of the year in the division, had 12 points as did Simon Texador for the Vikings (23-4), who captured their sixth title.

Second-team all-stater Dantez Walton had 13 points and Josh Dixon 11 for the second-ranked Thunderbirds (26-3), who were seeking their third title.

Tri-Village 48, Harvest Prep 46

COLUMBUS(AP) — First-team Associated Press all-stater Colton Linkous scored 22 points — and hit a 12-foot jumper with 3 seconds left — to lift No. 1 New Madison Harvest Prep to the Division 4 state championship with a 48-46 victory over Canal Winchester Harvest Prep on Saturday.

It was the first state title for Tri-Village (30-0), which had come up short in two earlier trips to the big tournament.

Damion Cook added 15 points and 11 rebounds while Linkous had 12 rebounds.

David Dennis Jr., whose 65-foot 3-pointer at the buzzer just missed, had 14 points and Rael Windley added eight points and 15 rebounds for the Warriors (25-5).

Defiance 49, Cleve. Cent. Cath. 45

COLUMBUS (AP) — Wes Detter made the go-ahead 3-pointer in overtime and also hit two critical technical foul shots late in regulation to lift Defiance to a 49-45 victory over Cleveland Central Catholic in the Division II state title game on Saturday night.

It was the first title for the fifth-ranked Bulldogs (27-2), who were making their third trip to the state tournament — but first in 75 years.

Katwan Singleton, a second-team Associated Press all-stater, had 18 points and 11 rebounds and his brother, Kameron, added 14 points for Defiance.

First-team All-Ohioan Antwon Lillard had 24 points for the eighth-ranked Ironmen (24-5), but he was called for the technical for hanging onto the rim on a dunk with 44 seconds left in regulation.
