Dayton Christian leads Tinora at the half
DC-TINORA WINNER WILL FACE
CLEVELAND CENTRAL CATHOLIC
FOR STATE DIVISION III TITLE
===Nathan Serenius scored 8 points, helping the Dayton Christian Warriors to a 20-18 halftime lead over the Defiance Tinora Rams. No wonder the Rams hold opponents to 38.4 point a game. They pass the ball 10 to 12 times a posession and play strong defense.===
Cleveland Central Catholic looked totally comfortable on the big stage.
Piketon? Shell-shocked.
Led by Anton Grady’s 19 points and Chall Montgomery’s 12 points, the Cleveland Central Catholic Ironmen rolled to an easy 76-52 victory over the Piketon Redstreaks in a Division III semifinal at the boys state basketball tournament at The Ohio State University’s Schottenstein Center on Thursday night, March 26.
“We were very loose today in warmups and I saw it in their eyes,” CCC coach Kevin Noch said. “The boys had the eye of the tiger tonight. They came out ready to play.”
The Ironmen (23-3) will play the Dayton Christian-Defiance Tinora winner for the D-III championship at 2 p.m. Saturday.
CCC leaped to a 34-14 halftime lead. Piketon scored the first 10 points of the third quarter to close within 34-24, but the Redstreaks couldn’t get any closer.

Both teams played outstanding defense. Your article states that Tinora passes the ball 10 to 12 time a possesion, well last night DC played excellent defense, just didn’t finished down the stretch.
