School in just its fourth year defeats rival Olentangy Liberty to win high school crown

The Berlin Bears were looking to win their first CBJ cup championship in just the fourth season since the school opened, while the veteran Liberty Patriots were on the hunt for a second championship in a tournament they have not won since 2011.

And at Chiller North in the title game, they did it again, defeating the Patriots in the first minute of overtime play to earn a 4-3 victory.
