Their ace is one of the best you're gonna find. Really good.

As I go down the list of teams in Division V, here are the names that stand out:
Coldwater
Milan Edison
Wheelersburg
Canton Central Catholic
Waynedale
Norwayne

I'm a Triway guy, so I'm going to throw our name in the hat. Haha! We have not won a district title in almost 30 years, but we've been trending upward the last few years and I think we're going to have a really strong team this year.

Which Olentangy team will be the best this season?
 
The new alignment has made things harder for the likes of KR, CJ, Tipp, Bellbrook, etc. though. D3 is tougher than the former D2.
All 4 district final teams from SW North D2 are now D3. Now add Butler to the mix, There will be some dogfights just to make a district final now.
I really hope they go to an open regional as this will give the north another chance to make it to the district, those 5 would probably be favored over anyone in the south minus Badin.

Side note KR was the last team in D3 with a CB of 23. I guess managing the roster may become a thing for some teams that are close.
They would probably be the favorite to win the region depending on what CHCA or IH has returning.

Kenton Ridge had 7 seniors in their starting lineup last year in the district final.
I agree about Butler. Their only trip to the final 4 under Dues was in D2.
