Article that has the finalists listed is on the OHSAA front page. I couldn't get it to load right this minute though.

Holden and Roderick were the two best players I watched. I’m surprised our region didn’t vote for Holden. Meyers and Black are just good high school players. Holden is a D1 player

Congratulations on stating a fact that Holden is indeed a division 1 player.

I mean the guy did average 27+ a game with like 15 rebounds to go along w it. Kinda is indeed surprising Holden wasn't voted in.

Good job, stating that Holden is a D1 player. Roderick is too. So are several of the other players on the list. Myers could have been a D1 player, but chose a D2 school. I feel like you probably aren't qualified to assess who is "just a good high school player."

Roderick is problably the most likely to be an impact D1 player. Myers is smart to go D2 ( If he had any D1 offers) Not much difference between D2 and D3 except the assistance a player gets . One thing they all will have to adjust to is being a roll player . If Holden played D1 HS he would be a good high school player also . Roderick proved himself against D1 talent just like Myers did. Good luck to all the players that will play at the next level whether D1 , D2 OR D3 . We can check in in 4 years and see how they all did , who made an impact , who enjoyed playing where ever they chose to go and what they will contribute to society in the future. For me I'm closing out the 2018-2019 season . Does anyone have a list of players that will keep playing at the next level ? With the talent ( there is alot) I would think there would be a nice number of players . Thanks Floyd for all your travel and info . Look forward to next season .
