LaSalle regaining past magic, causing more Cincinnati worries for Miami Valley
DAYTON — LaSalle can get lost in the powerful Greater Catholic League South Division.
Consider the past decade or so. Moeller, a division comrade, has won three state basketball titles since 1999. St. Xavier won a championship in 2000 and has made three more trips back to Columbus since.
La Salle? The Lancers won a state championship in 1996, but they haven’t made the state tournament since.
This year, LaSalle (20-2) has stepped forward in a seemingly weakened GCL South. The Lancers topped Woodward 61-42 on Saturday, March 13, in a Division I district final at UD Arena. With the win, the group ranked No. 4 in the state advanced to a regional semifinal, where it will face the winner of Wayne and St. Xavier (to be played here at 7 p.m.).
That would be a very difficult path for Wayne, especially missing two key players who were ruled ineligible earlier this week by the Ohio High School Athletic Association because they violated transfer rules. Or, it could be another matchup this season between LaSalle and St. Xavier.
As far as the Miami Valley is concerned, area teams were having enough trouble with Moeller, St. Xavier and Elder before LaSalle came on strong. As if the area big schools needed another strong Cincinnati team to worry about.
