Congratulations to the State Champion Oak Hill Oaks! UPDATED

Forget the NCAA Tournament. If you’re into March Madness, I hope you were watching the Ohio Boys Division IV State Championship earlier today.

In one of the most exciting games I think I’ve ever seen, the mighty Oak Hill Oaks won the state title 48-43 in TWO OVERTIMES! My neighbors had to be wondering what I was watching…

Yes, boys and girls, Coach Norm Persin is bringing home his first state title.

I’m not going to lie to you guys. I got more than a little teary-eyed…

Congratulations to the Mighty Oaks for bringing home their first state championship.

And congratulations Coach Persin. I know I couldn’t have been the only Chesapeake alum rooting for you today. You truly deserve this…

I just wish the announcers would have bothered to get your name right…

You can watch video from the game here.

You can also catch a rebroadcast on SportsTime Ohio Sunday at 6 a.m. and Saturday, April 4th at 6 p.m…

I now return you to my regularly scheduled blog…
