Centerville, Tri-Village boys basketball teams fall at OHSAA Tournament

MIAMI VALLEY — Its a tough day for the Miami Valley basketball fans after two local high school basketball teams lost in the Ohio High School Athletic Association state tournament.

The Tri-Village Patriots fell short of bringing home their first Division IV state title since 2015.

13 points from Layne Sarver wasn’t enough to pull out a win against Richmond Heights.

The Patriots will finish the season 26-5. The final score of the Divison IV championship was 50-29.
