One team to keep an eye on is Northwestern (West Salem). Currently 11-1 with only loss coming to 9-1 Triway on the road. They've actually played a handful of good teams and have some good wins over Norwayne (10-2), Clear Fork (deceiving record), Waynedale (7-2), Dalton (9-4), Ashland (deceiving record), and Smithville (9-4). They can play all styles and can win in a shootout or slow-down game. Great inside-outside combos with excellent fundamentals.

#13 Sardinia Eastern is a team that many may not have heard of but plays good ball. Last I checked, they were undefeated. Not sure what their path would be, but it will take a strong team to beat them.

Do you have a roster or anything for them? I can't find anything helpful online.

Looks like they are 7-1. Hard to tell how good they are based on a really weak schedule. There is some video, nothing that jumps out, maybe the PF who has a nice jumper/range.

But I am comparing them to regional/state level teams in D3 that I watched last year.

Thank you. Just hard to gauge size because only one person has a Ht/Wt on the roster.

They were undefeated when we played them. I was surprised to see from your link's video that they were so far behind Alexander (which looks like it is ranked just ahead of Eastern here). We've also played #4 Deer Park, and (though both beat us badly) Eastern seemed to be a more difficult match-up for us...especially their starters. Big difference is that Eastern played many subs throughout, while DP played starters almost exclusively until 1:30 left in the game.
 
O-G with a 63-61 win over D1 #8 Lima Senior in front of a sold out crowd of 2600 tonight in Ottawa. Titans trailed by 6 at the half. 6'7 Ben Westrick went for 27 points, 10 boards and 5 blocks

He was the difference. Lima Senior has to do some of the little things late in order to make a deep tourney run. Missed free throws killed us.
