Celebrating area girls basketball in one fun weekend

By Kyle Nagel | Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 10:58 PM

How good has high school girls basketball been in the area this year?

Well, on Friday and Saturday, this quadrant of the state will have its Division I and Division II representatives in the state semifinals both decided between four Miami Valley teams.

In a momentous night, Fairmont (Princeton) and Vandalia Butler (Walnut Hills) won D-I regional semifinals at the Nutter Center while Chaminade Julienne (Columbus St. Francis DeSales) and Alter (Indian Hill) won D-II semifinals at Springfield High School on Tuesday, March 9.

That gives the area two strong regional finals and guarantees the Miami Valley both D-I and D-II teams in Columbus.

So here’s what we have: Fairmont and Butler will decide the D-I region at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Nutter Center, and a third Alter-CJ showdown will occur for the D-II regional title at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Springfield High School.

In another juicy twist, both games are also rematches. Butler topped host Fairmont 39-31 on Jan. 11 in a Greater Western Ohio Conference non-division game as two bench players — Butler’s Sami Baker and Fairmont’s Alona Skipper — each scored 13 points.

Alter and CJ, as members of the Girls Greater Cincinnati League Grey North Division, met twice. Alter won the first matchup at CJ 46-45 on Dec. 16, and CJ took the Jan. 29 meeting at the Nutter Center 50-42.
