Caldwell is creative, but Hawks move into district title game
Logan Hershberger’s defense proved to be one of the nails in the coffin for Caldwell, and Hiland’s defensive effort led the way to victory.

Coming into Hiland’s Division VI district semifinal contest with Caldwell on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at New Philadelphia High School, Hiland head coach Mark Schlabach was certain of two things: It would be a physical grind of a game, and the Hawks would face multiple styles of defenses.

He was correct on both counts, and while Hiland earned a 57-42 victory, it was a struggle because of both of those attributes.

With its win, Hiland advanced to a Feb. 28 district final at Cambridge, where the Hawks were slated to meet No. 2 seed Woodsfield Monroe Central, which dumped Malvern 63-47 in the other Feb. 25 semi.
