The Firebirds overcame a sluggish start to beat Olentangy Berlin 55-35 on Thursday, March 12 at Ohio Expo Center's Taft Coliseum.
Junior Bryce Curry had 14 points and Josh Tyson added 10 as Lakota West (23-1) won its 11th straight game. They advanced to play Pickerington Central in the D-I, Region 3 final at 7 p.m. Saturday back at Taft Coliseum.
Olentangy Berlin finished its season 17-8.
The Firebirds trailed 13-8 in the first quarter when Lakota West coach Kelven Moss called a timeout.

In the third quarter, they outscored the Bears 19-11 to take a 41-29 lead.
Berlin cut the lead to 10 points in the fourth quarter, but couldn't get any closer.
