Cincinnati girls' basketball moves to district play this weekend with a full slate of games scheduled in all four divisions.

For the most part the higher-seeded teams cruised through sectional play with relatively few surprises.

Top-seeded Lakota West defeated Turpin, 78-56, to win the Harrison Division I sectional while No. 2 Mount Notre Dame handled Kings, 58-42, for the Lakota East sectional title.

The Firebirds (22-1) and two-time defending state champion Cougars (21-2), ranked 1-2 in the state, continue on a path toward what many feel could be a rematch in the state title game. Lakota West defeated Mount Notre Dame in the season opener.  Lakota West faces Chaminade-Julienne on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Harrison High School.

Walnut Hills won its first girls’ basketball sectional title in school history last week with a 55-33 win over St. Ursula as the Eagles (21-2) continue their best season on record. Their reward, however, is a date with Mount Notre Dame in a district final on Saturday at 3 p.m. 

The Greater Miami Conference flexed its muscles last Saturday, when four teams from the league met for sectional titles. Third-seeded Oak Hills defeated No. 6 Princeton, while No. 11 Mason upset No. 6 Colerain. Oak Hills plays Beavercreek (22-1) at 11 a.m.  Mason (14-8), this year's “Cinderella” team at this point of the tournament as an 11 seed, had defeated No. 7 seed Mercy prior to upsetting Colerain.  Up next for the Comets is Winton Woods (22-1).

Has anyone been more impressive than Division II powerhouse and top-seeded Kettering Alter? The Knights crushed Franklin, 75-26, in the opening round, and then won with scores of 86-15 and 62-17 over Stivers and Talawanda, respectively. That's who is up next for Taft tomorrow at 9 p.m. at Mason High School.  Top-seed Wyoming plays Carroll at 5 p.m.

Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (22-0) kept its perfect season alive with a 48-46 win over previously unbeaten Middletown Madison (21-1) in a marquee Division III match-up last week. The Eagles continue to impress despite losing leading scorer Kaci Kust to a knee injury last month and will play Miami East for the district title on Saturday at Vandalia Activity Center at 4:30 p.m. Georgetown takes on Badin and Roger Bacon plays Versailles.

No. 1 seed Seven Hills rolled through sectional play in Division IV. The Stingers beat St. Bernard, 57-16, Williamsburg, 78-39, and Cincinnati Christian, 63-30, and will play Franklin-Monroe on Saturday at Vandalia.
