It wasn't too long ago that Alexia Mobley suited up for Reynoldsburg against the likes of Groveport Madison, Newark and Pickerington Central.
- Now she sports the Cardinal Red of Louisville, which faces fellow No. 1 seed South Carolina in the Final Four semifinal tonight.
Flashback: Mobley torched not just the Ohio Capital Conference, but her classwork, too.
- She graduated a year early and was named the school valedictorian.
Of note: Three other players with Ohio basketball roots remain in the women's Final Four, including South Carolina's Bree Hall (Dayton) and Zia Cooke (Toledo).
- UConn's Dorka Juhász is a transfer from Ohio State, though she won't play this weekend after suffering an injury last round.
