The Reynoldsburg High School girls basketball team finally got the breakthrough it was looking for Saturday at Olentangy Liberty.

After building as big as a 12-point first-quarter lead, the sixth-seeded Raiders held on to beat No. 4 Brookhaven 56-50 to capture their first Division I district championship since winning back-to-back titles in 1990 and '91.

Reynoldsburg will play in a regional semifinal Tuesday in Otterbein College's Rike Center against Gahanna or Dresden Tri-Valley.

"It's a great feeling," senior T'Shera Lucas said. "We wanted to be the team to win the first district championship for coach (Jack Purtell). I really think we deserved this."

The Raiders ended the Bearcats 18-game winning streak and improved to 19-5. Brookhaven finished 21-3.

"It's an amazing feeling," senior forward Aryelle Covington said. "I've been on varsity since my freshman year, and we've always come up short. And it's not over yet."
