2022-23 SW D1

West Carrollton is solid too but Wayne has Bree Halls younger sister as a freshman and fairmont has an overall strong freshman class with another D1 kid and a bunch of D2 kids
 
Middletown is having a big 20+ team scrimmage. Not seen the matchups.
Kings, Seton, Dunbar, Little Miami, Wilmington, Wayne, West carrollton, Miamisburg, Middletown, Shaker Heights, Northridge, West Clermont, Ponitz, Walnut, National Trail, Fairmont, Edgewood, Homeschool Trailblazers?

Pretty good field in great facilities!
 
Super Showcase Scrimmage in Columbus (Worthington HS) Saturday 11/12.
Great Competition

Crazy how Lakota West was contending for the regional title every year for a good run and now is struggling to be a decent team. Losing Carlton must have been a bigger factor than the higher ups anticipated.

Not so tonight. Mason wins 54-48. Both teams shot poorly from the field. Both under 30 percent. The difference was at the foul line. Mason shot 34 free throws hitting 26. Princeton shot just 10 free throws hitting 7. Princeton was called for 24 fouls to just 11 for Mason.

24 personal fouls on one team is absurd for a college game, nevermind a 32 minute high school game.
 
Unfortunately extreme fouling is becoming more and more common with continued summer/club ball mentality.
West Clermont win vs Lakota East last week
50 total fouls: WC (20), Lakota East (30)

That’s more than 1.5 fouls a minute, A foul every 35-40 seconds.
If my math is correct. :oops:

ANYONE that has attended AAU/Summer/Club tournaments knows those games are basically a different sport than HS basketball.
 
Stats show Prows did not play for Mason vs Colerain yesterday.
After big game vs Princeton earlier in week.

Anyone know if she’ll be available for big GMC matchup Mason @ Lakota East Wednesday?
That would be a big loss for Mason and could really make things tight in GMC this season.
East gave Mason only GMC loss @ East LY

I would assume she would be back but you never know. If she is out I think Lakota East wins

She should be back. Regardless, Mason should win. Don’t forget Prows didn’t play a whole 2nd half of the season last year and Mason still made it to the State Finals. Granted, Mason lost a big piece (6’5” Center), but they will still have the best player(s) on the floor in this matchup without big girl or Prows.

5. Walnut Hills
6. Winton Woods
7. Talawanda
8. MND
9 and 10. No idea

i know 2 beat 1 and 3 beat 2 and 4 beat 3 but i still think this is the right ranking. I'm fairly confident that if Princeton plays their best game, they are the best team. I think it gets really difficult after the top 4

Agree on Princeton 1
Throw 2-4 in a blender.
East definitely has Mason's number. 2 years in a row win vs Mason @ East.
Big point: All big wins for top teams were on Home courts this season.
East did beat Springboro (probably should have lost; down 7 with under 50 secs and 'Boro stud Center missed layup at buzzer) on road and Mason beat Springboro handily on Neutral.

Strange schedule with most big games real early or real late this season.

Some research looking ahead for tourney

Tourney Draw is Sunday Jan 29
East
Scheduling quirk for East will make things extremely interesting come seeding for tourney.
Only plays Princeton 1 time this season @Princeton on Jan 30 and @Mason rematch is last game of season, Sat Feb 4
Both games after the Tourney seed and draw

Only 2 remaining non con games MND and Summit. East should be 18-1 going into Selection Sunday.
Princeton
Strong Non Con Schedule
2 games this weekend
Panther Creek NC (Top 4 in NC LY)
St Paul VI VA (Top 4 in VA LY)
Dec games vs Akron SVSM and Spire (Beat Wayne by 12)
Jan game vs Canadian Team Fort Erie (Lost to Westerville South by 14)
Home rematch with Mason Jan 11
Mason
Strong Non Con Games
vs Bellbrook District Finalist LY with almost entire team back. Top 2 Dayton team this year, will be undefeated when teams play @Mason Dec 23
Classic in the County
vs Olmsted Falls (Pre Season #4 OH)
vs Bolingbrook (#1 IL)
Road rematch @ Princeton Jan 11
15 pt win vs Beavercreek (3-2). Beavers also L to Bellbrook by 13 in their opener but beat perennial GWOC leader Centerville last night
West Clermont
4 ECC Games vs Winton Woods and Walnut Hills (Both young, very talented teams. Still a bit of mystery on how good they are)
Non Con
2 GGCL teams Seton, Ursuline (Both struggling this season)
Classic in the Country
vs Newark (down this year, 2-2 this season)
vs Magnificat (Good team at 4-1 with 3 pt loss to Solon Pre Season #9) beat Newark 62-39
West Clermont could be 20-0 on Selection Sunday

Princeton and Mason Non Conference competition is so much more difficult than East and WC.
Plus Rematch is @Princeton Wed Jan 11


2 1/2 weeks into the season
WAY TOO EARLY Predicted SWOH D1 Seeds (Predicted records on Selection Day)
Currently 4 Tiers 1-4, 5-7, 8-9 and Field

1. Princeton: (18-1)
2. West Clermont: (20-0)
3. East: (18-1)
4. Mason: (17-3)

5-7. Talawanda: (19-0), Winton Woods (17-3) and Walnut Hills (18-2)
Fears @ Talawanda might be best player in SW OH behind Sole'
Fears-Farris probably best Post-Guard Combo in City
Easy schedule might push "Oxford" Talawanda a little lower than 5
WW then WH, WH then WW?
Same schedule quirk, WH@WW Round 2 Monday Jan 30, after the tourney draw

8. MND
9. Kings

10-12. WHO KNOWS? Lakota West/Harrison/Fairfield/Loveland/Milford/Oak Hills
 
I know Princeton won 1 game in the out of town showcase anybody know what they did on Sunday morning?
 
Ty I looked all over for it .
Both of those opponents had players in the top 100 rankings, including a top 10 senior committed to Notre Dame.

I noticed Princeton just beat Oak Hills by 40 without Sole Williams. Saw a picture online of her getting honored at the game for scoring 1000 career points. No casts or boots. Hopefully her absence is brief.
