Ben Davis High School girls basketball 4A state champs, #1 nationwide 2009

Ben Davis Giants winning a hard fought 4A state championship in girls high school basketball. They eventually claimed the title as the #1 girls high school team in the NATION! They beat an outstanding team in the South Bend Washington Panthers. This was SB Washington's All Star, Sklar Diggins' final high school shot, a desperation heave at the buzzer. Skylar, Notre Dame bound, is the best girls high school baller I've ever seen. Although, the Ben Davis team had superstar Alexandria Bentley (Penn St) and the Goss sisters to round out a DYNAMITE team! Ben Davis won 71 to 69 in an epic contest.
This was the first championships played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, on March 7, 2009. Hated to see a team lose, as both teams were nationally ranked in the top 5, and undefeated. Ben Davis finished 30-0.
