Wheeling Central Catholic secured a spot in the Class AA state title game by defeating Westside 57-38, largely through a strong defensive effort. The Maroon Knights focused on disrupting Westside's perimeter shooting, limiting them to 34% shooting and only two points in the fourth quarter. Max Olejasz's early scoring gave Wheeling Central a lead, but a key four-point play by Luke Sancomb shifted momentum. A late second-quarter surge, including contributions from Eli Sancomb and Olejasz, gave Wheeling Central a comfortable halftime lead. Despite a less efficient third quarter offensively, Wheeling Central maintained control, and a dominant defensive display in the fourth sealed the victory. Eli Sancomb's 24 points and 15 rebounds, along with Olejasz's 20 points, were pivotal, and Wheeling Central's rebounding advantage further contributed to their success. Westside struggled offensively, particularly in the second half and especially in the fourth quarter, where they failed to score a field goal.
