UHRICHSVILLE—An exciting week of tournament basketball is in the books, and so is the 2022-23 season for the Harrison Central Huskies. While always disappointing if you don't win the "last one," the Harrison Central Huskies used a mid-season surge to power their way to the school's fifth sectional title all time.

Last weekend, the Huskies were cutting down nets inside their home gymnasium after outlasting the (9) Buckeye Trail Warriors 63-58 in overtime. This past Tuesday, the (3) Garaway Pirates ended the Huskies' cinderella-bid into the East District finals by way of a 68-45 final. As is the case in survive-and-advance basketball, the rollercoaster of emotion runs on high.
