Heading into Scrimmage week for a lot of central Ohio schools...

Olentangy Orange seems to be a heavy favorite...

Will anyone be able to give them a run for their money?

Any other Story lines or teams to look out for?

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the OCC-Buckeye finish in a split (2-way or 3-way.) Lancaster returns literally no one from 2019 and lost a kid that would’ve started in the middle (or would’ve been their DH) to transfer.

I still think the Gales will have a fine team. But this division is just... who knows.

You have FH and Reynoldsburg both predicted to beat each other. I would presume Reynoldsburg is the one you meant to have winning.

Good predictions, all around. W. South vs New Albany is the best game that I see of OCC school vs OCC school (non-league) for first games. I would pick NA, though.

Could not agree more.

Really up in the air.

Thanks! Just updated! Reynoldsburg has a "True ACE" on the staff who should hold his own in that league...

South/New Albany should be a great one. Loads of talent...

This will be Westerville South's most talented roster in quite a while...

I honestly would not be surprised if Westland v. Centennial was a genuinely good opening game. Centennial has UC commit C.J. Dean leading the way, and I thought Westland beat up on West Jeff in a scrim.
 
Highlights from Today:

New Albany over Westerville south 3-2 (8 innings)
-Probably the game of the day!!!

-Olentangy Liberty with 2 big wins over quality opponents from NE Ohio.

Looks good.

Give me Olentangy ahead of Lancaster, though. Gales have a solid squad that is ahead of where you'd think they would be at with their youth and inexperience, but not top 10!

I guess we will find out tonight! Ha! (Olentangy @ Lancaster)

Olentangy has just really struggled out of the gate here. Not a whole lot of depth, and their top guys really haven't performed thus far.
 
League play starts tomorrow!

OCC Central

Will anyone be able to take down Orange? Liberty and UA look to have the best shot.
Updated Predictions/League Records:

1. Olentangy Orange (13-2)
2. Olenatngy Liberty (11-4)
3. Upper Arlington (10-5)
4. Hilliard Bradley (5-10)
5. Dublin Coffman (4-11)
6. Hilliard Davidson (4-11)
 
Olentangy Orange takes down Walsh Jesuit on Saturday 2-0.
That's a great win for Orange. I wonder who threw who, within the rotation, for both teams, out of pure curiosity sakes.

Looks like I was right on 'Tangy and LHS. /wink
