INDIANAPOLIS — Lecretia Smith had 23 points, 12 rebounds and six steals to lead Fort Wayne Elmhurst to a 62-59 victory over Owen Valley in the Class 3A state girls high school basketball championship on Saturday.

After Owen Valley tied the score at 54 on Sweatman’s free throw with 3 minutes left, the Trojans went on an 8-0 run, sparked by Rosie Lewis’ six points, to open a 62-54 lead with 26 seconds left.
