TWINSBURG,OHIO - The Twinsburg girls basketball team enters the OHSAA playoffs this week as the two time defending State Champion in Division One.
The Lady Tigers are perfect at 23-0 with a 67 game winning streak against teams from Ohio. Julie Solis is in her 4th season as the head coach and has built a real powerhouse in Summit County.
"I think everybody expected us to have a little let down this year, but i knew we would be good, I just didn't think we would be this good"
Solis will graduate five seniors this year, four of them have already committed to play Division One basketball next year.
Twinsburg has won 95 percent of their games under Solis and are currently ranked number 22 nationally by USA Today. The Tigers have won the Northeast Ohio Conference six years in a row and face Warren Harding in the next round of the OHSAA playoffs.
