Photo Gallery : Mayo,Walker Vs. Lighty

After O.J. Mayo, Ohio's Mr. Basketball for the 2005-2006 season, sat out of Thursday's state semifinal game against Archbold, he came out with a hot hand against VASJ and led his Trojans to a 90-73 victory and their second-consecutive state championship. Mayo led everyone in scoring with 34 points but played a spectacular all-around game as well. Ohio State-bound David Lighty had 20 points for the Vikings in a losing effort. Here's how some of the D-III state title game looked in pictures.

---

David Lighty was a big reason that his Vikings were in the state title game.

---

Opening tip.

---

O.J. Mayo played with an attitude from the outset after missing Thursday's semifinal game due to disciplinary reasons.

---

---

Maybe the only way to defend Mayo.

---

---

---

.....

---

.....

---

.....wham with the right hand!

---

Bill Walker got fouled on this dunk attempt.

---

In 31 minutes, Walker had 22 points, 10 rebounds and six assists.

---

He was 8 of 13 from the floor and 6 of 7 from the line in the game.

---

Walker is extremely talented in his own right as he demonstrated his skills without Mayo in the semifinals, scoring 23 points and grabbing 13 boards.

---

But Mayo can do it all.

---

He's the consumate ball handler.

---

Mayo stuffed the stat sheet with a LeBron James-like 34 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

---

In 30 minutes, Mayo was 10 of 15 from the field, 11 of 15 from the free throw line and 3 of 6 from beyond the arc.

---

---

---

But Lighty represented Ohio State very well in the match-up.

---

In 31 minutes, Lighty scored 20 points and had eight rebounds, three steals and three assists.

---

He was 7 of 18 from the floor, 3 of 6 from the line and 3 of 6 from 3-point range.

---

And Lighty rattled the rim on occasion as well.

---

---

And Lighty handles the ball very well also.

---

---

But in the end it was Mayo...

---

...along with Walker and Andre Evans that proved to be too much for Lighty and his Viking mates.

---

Viking coach Dave Wojciechowski embraces Lighty for the last time.

---

Lighty, who came back from a nasty knee injury last year, ends his prep career on a losing note in the state finals...

---

...and settles for a silver medal.

---

---

Mayo led his team to their second-consecutive state title.

---

Both Mayo and Walker will get another crack at it again next year for a chance at a three-peat.

---

Mayo is now a two-time Mr. Basketball winner and a two-time state champion.

---

---

---

Evans, a senior for North College Hill, was perfect on the night scoring 24 points on 9 of 9 from the floor and 6 of 6 from the free throw line.

---

Darryl Rushton, a senior from VASJ, tied Lighty for team-high scoring honors with 20 points.
