Basketball - Boys Varsity Top-ranked Moeller knocked out

BY MARK SCHMETZER | ENQUIRER CONTRIBUTOR
DAYTON - Moeller coach Carl Kremer couldn't even remember the last time the Crusaders had lost to an Ohio team.
He'll remember this one. Moeller, the defending Division I state champion and USA Today's No. 8 team in the country, was knocked out of the Division I tournament with a 48-45 loss to Trotwood-Madison in a district championship game Friday night at University of Dayton Arena.
"This is a sad day for us," Kremer said after the game. "This is a team that overachieved all year."

DAYTON — Trotwood-Madison High School pulled off the upset of the boys basketball state tournament.
The Rams, perhaps undervalued since the departure of Chris Wright to the University of Dayton, used a ferocious defensive effort and key late shooting to defeat state No. 1 and national No. 8 Cincinnati Moeller 48-45 on Friday, Feb. 29, at UD Arena.
The Division I district championship moves Trotwood into Wednesday's regional semifinal at 7 p.m. at the Columbus Fairgrounds Coliseum against the winner of Saturday's district final between Zanesville and Newark.
