Read on one of those sites that Monroe Central 9th in AP poll and 1st in that RPI on that OHSAA site.
Does that mean automatic top seed?
Do the coaches even vote on the brackets/seedings? How does that operate?

Care to explain? I’ve never seen anything about FF wanting out of the PVC. From my understanding it was schools (looking at you Shenandoah) that didn’t want to play FF anymore.

you are correct i did not state that very well, other teams did want out of the PVC because of FF, but after PVC fell apart FF had plenty of chances to get in a league but 2 varsity coaches did not want in, one because he could not get enough good teams to play and another because he wouldn't be able to play in the OVAC tourney anymore, sorry about that

Monroe Central 4th in AP poll in best season in school history. Should roll to 2-A OVAC title.
Yes, they have 2 regular season games (1 a makeup game) with a good Martins Ferry team but Seminoles have more weapons.
Can see a District final matchup with Hiland.

I don’t know about Steuby CC but I know Toronto has some good players. Should be a good game if they get past River. Rivalry games can be tricky.

I’ve been to more basketball games this year than ever before. Fun to watch this group play

Hiland beat Linsly Academy School on Saturday 55-53 in ot to hand the Cadets there first loss, we started out like ok we can play with this team,we were up 9-2 in the first quarter and then all of a sudden Linsly goes on a 17-0 run and it was an uphill battle from there ,till fourth quarter, when we finally tied them to send it to ot., that's when our foul shooting helps us pull out the game hitting 8 for 9 in the ot,you talk about a big team atleast 6 players over 6'4" to 6'9" and athletic and fast for big guys

Thought I read on another site Hiland had a starter come back late in the season, but then, lost another in the OG game.
What kind of size do the Hawks have?

Yea we lost our big 6'7" player to a acl,we go now 6'4" ,6'1"to as small as 5'8",we can go 8 or 9 deep, now we are alot quicker, we have some really quick guards,we had four players in double figures against Linsly, between adversity and injuries this season,one is back from a broken hand since first of January,then two sprang ankles in two different players,they are back,lost a good bench player to a acl in the pre season luckily he's a sophomore and now our big guy to a season ending acl

That's just crazy and unfortunate, but hey, you are Hiland and you set the bar every season in the East.
Until some coach in the East District figures out a way to convince his team to play D like you it'll be Hiland advancing to another Regional.
From what I've seen so far only Monroe Central is capable of coming close.

The scary thing about Monroe Central is that they are about year away, with only two seniors on the team, I'm not sure if they are starters or not, but it looks like they are junior year heavy, Tucker Howe is a real good one and one of those juniors , the Hawks kids know that defense comes first and if can't play lock down defense you probably won't start
