Desales and Chaminade Julienne are the only unranked teams playing in Dayton and they play each other.

Ironically opposite the top 2 ranked teams in Division 2 who play each other.

WOW! The Margin of Victory for Div. 3-Lutheran East, 45.1, The Margin for Div. 2-ASVSM, 44. Does the running clock start at the beginning of the 3rd Qtr, or does it even start earlier?

[LucasDavenport]

The running clock does not start until the second half.

[E High]

Some semis will be blowouts. A very few will be close. Upper tier will win the championship. St. V will be one of them. Good luck to all, great run !

I’ll be surprised if the NE doesn’t win all 4 titles

Lutheran East and their future Georgetown Hoya is gonna get one of them, me thinks.

Thank you. I've known about the running clock in football, just when did they start using the running clock in basketball? Maybe it's been in effect for awhile and I'm just not up to date.

[bbjunky81]

Agreed, NE is the favorite to win all 4.

Mentor/Ignatius are the 2 favorites IMO in D1

ASVSM the obvious favorite in D2

Lutheran East the favorite in D3, but I do think WC can win if they get there.

Richmond Heights heavy, heavy favorite in D4. Heights plays the hardest D4 schedule in the state and it's not even close (ASVSM, Ignatius, Medina, St. Eds etc)...


I'm a sucker for the underdogs though so I'd love to see all the favorites get knocked off!!




I really wish the Lima Shawnee / ASVSM game was the D2 final, though, and not the semi's.. Shawnee is really, really good. But ASVSM is a different animal.

[6-4-3=2o]

Good info, Lucas!

[LucasDavenport]

D1 NE has 2 teams and I still think it’s the best chance as Centerville and Westerville Central both will compete.

The other 3 divisions..... SVSM should have stayed in D1 and Lutheran East and Richmond Heights both have at least enough talent to compete for the D2 title.

But it is what it is.

Vinton County took down Laurel on the girls side before running into Napoleon in the Finals so perhaps someone can knock off the obvious heavyweights in D2, 3 and 4.
