2 good looking days! Huntington (WV) is absolutely loaded with talent! They’re worth a watch alone. Ashland (KY) returns a legit squad led by 6’6” SG Zander Carter (Jr) who has already committed to D1 Liberty.

Haven't seen Zander for awhile, didn't realize he's that big now.

Will will try to provide provide information on teams outside of Southern Ohio that does not have information on them on SEOPS that will compete in the Battle in the 740 at Shawnee State University.
The Huntington High Highlanders advanced to the State semi finals in West Virginia last season before bowing out of the tournament and is looking to take the next step up in the tournament this season. They have a new coach, Lambros Svingos, who brings a wealth of experience and a strong connection to the school. They will be lead this year by Mikey Johnson, Malki McNeely and Jayden Clark who is a transfer from St Albans High School. All are seniors and expect to have productive seasons. They will play Olentangy Liberty who is a large Division 1 school from the Central Ohio area and they will also bring a quality team to the Battle in the 740 on Saturday December 9 @ 5pm at Shawnee State University.

The Wheelersburg Pirates finished 18-7 last season in Coach Prater's first season at the helm. The Pirates
finished second in the larger division of the Southern Ohio Conference and lost in the District Semi-Finals.
Last year's team graduated 5 impactful seniors including their leading scorers This year's team returns 4 rotation players including major contributors, Connor Estep (Senior) and Braylon Rucker (Sophomore). Devon Lattimore (Senior) is expected to make a large impact as well as a
group of talented sophomores. The Pirates are playing one of their toughest schedules in recent history and
look forward to competing for a Southern Ohio Conference Championship.
The Pirates will match up with Harvest Prep, who was a State Semi Finalist last year in the Division III OHSAA State Championship, on Sunday December 10, 2023 at 5pm in the Battle in the 740 at Shawnee State University with the hope this game will launch them on to a successful season

I try to follow central Ohio team a little since I'm in the Chillicothe area. The Columbus area teams that are attending this event should be pretty good with some outstanding individuals on their teams. Olentangy Liberty, Hartley, New Albany, Harvest Prep, Reynoldsburg Girls should all have very good squads I'm surprised they were able to draw as much Columbus area team as they did.
