COLUMBUS — The state\u2019s top two teams in Division IV will meet for the state title in Columbus on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berlin Hiland (28-1) finished No. 1 in the final Associated Press poll of the season, followed by Crestview (27-1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hawks were down by eight in the second quarter, but rallied to defeat No. 3 St. Henry 57-50 on Friday. Hiland hit free throw after free throw late in the game to secure the victory. 6-3 junior Sam Habeger scored a team high 17 points, while 5-10 senior point guard Andy Miller added 14 points and six assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe saw them at summer camp a couple of years ago and they\u2019ve been down here enough so I\u2019ve seen them here through the years,\u201d Crestview head coach Jeremy Best said of Hiland. \u201cI know they\u2019re very well coached and coach Schlabach has a very impressive track record.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTheir program is elite and it\u2019s one of the top four Division IV programs in the state and have been for a long, long time. I\u2019m a little bit familiar with them, not with their personnel, but we\u2019ll try to get after it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Hawks have made 11 State appearances and won consecutive titles in 2011 and 2012, plus another in 1992. The school\u2019s first state championship came in 1962. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiland qualified for last year\u2019s State Tournament, but fell to Cornerstone Christian 51-41 in the semifinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
