Division I District Semifinals preview

What to look for in tonight's district semifinals

Let’s get straight to it. There’s eight spots in the district finals on the line tonight in Central Ohio. Here’s a look at each game and the things to look for.

Central 1 Semifinals

#5 Hilliard Bradley (19-5) vs. #17 Olentangy Liberty (14-9) - 6 p.m. at Central Crossing

Last meeting: Hilliard Bradley win, 58-55 on February 2, 2024

Last five meetings: Olentangy Liberty leads the series 3-2

Hilliard Bradley all-time in the district semifinals: 5-2

Olentangy Liberty all-time in the district semifinals: 6-3

Two programs that have lived in the district finals as of late will do battle for a third time this season. Hilliard Bradley swept the season series and will look to make it a clean 3-0 sweep tonight. Olentangy Liberty might just have the best player in the game in 6-foot-9 junior Tyler Kropp, but will that be enough to overcome a physically imposing Bradley team? We’ll have to wait and see.
