We've turned the calendar to January, so let's talk about March! With Edison moving up to D2 and Margaretta moving down to D4 this District is left with just 12 teams! Out of those 12 teams, only 3 have winning records. Upper 8-1 but had a similar record last year and didn't win a game in the sectional. Upper's best win is probably Willard, and also Carey. They have 2 wins vs. D2 schools (Galion and Tiffin) Western Reserve 6-2 Best win is probably at home vs. St Paul. They have 1 win vs. a D2 school. A winless Firelands team. Willard 5-3 Best win is at Carey. They have one D2 win vs a 1 win Pt Clinton team Carey 4-4 Won the district last year and have the best player in the district. Best win vs. D4 Col Crawford. They have not played a D2 school and only have 1 win vs a D3 school. Huron 4-4 Best win vs. Norwalk (Norwalk's first game out of football playoffs and was missing Haraway) Has 3 D2 wins (Norwalk 6-2, Edison 1-7, PC 1-8)
These schools don't have much of a chance. New London 4-4 Best win is probably vs. Lucas. They have a D2 win vs Edison Oak Harbor 4-4 Best win is vs. Old Fort. They have 0 wins vs. D2 schools
The following schools don't have a chance. Fostoria 4-6 Crestview 3-6 Bucyrus 1-8 Wynford 1-8 Lakota 0-8
This is a small, weak district. It's Upper's to win. The conference won't test them too much outside Mohawk and 1 game left with CC and Carey and they only have 2 non-league games left (Lex and Bellevue) Western can always shoot the 3, so you never know on any given night. Willard has been pretty inconsistent but has the most size. Carey has the best player and the experience of winning last year. Huron struggles to score, but plays good defense, plays the toughest schedule and will be prepared.

The winner of this district will go on to a regional field with teams likely Archbold/Ottawa-Glandorf winner, Genoa/Cardinal Stritch winner and Africentric. LOOK OUT!

For the record, Stritch will play at Norwalk later in the year. Overall, solid assessment.

Huron struggles to score, but plays good defense, plays the toughest schedule and will be prepared. I see this as a 2 team race at this point between Upper and Western. Willard has all the talent in the world but they do not have a solid point guard and they may lose their best player last 6 games of the year and in the tourney due to an OHSAA transfer infraction. They played a very scrappy Vermilion team last night and stayed with them for 3 of 4 periods but the 3rd did them in. Willard may get through the sectional but I don't see them doing much more than that, especially if the Triplet kid is no longer playing.

we don't have a solid pg? A true point guard, no. Parrot is a shooting guard and when he exerts as much time and energy as he did last night just getting the ball up the floor he suffers and so does the team. I would rather see Brevan or Paxton running the point and Cooper coming off screens all day long and raising up for jump shots, what he is good at. This sin't a slam, it is putting him and the team in the best possible position to win. The frustration he had last night just trying to get the ball up the floor proved that.

What a laughably weak district. Huron should walk to the regional semis and will probably walk to the state title. Remember, they are still without Hinckley and Leh who are both serving 10 game suspensions for defecating in the Margaretta high school urinals.

Hey dump, could you talk great things about Clear Fork and Mansfield Senior's state title chances? You seem to have a knack of supporting teams who can't put it together and I want the Madison D2 District to clear out a bit for Shelby.

District is Uppers to lose. But Upper hasn't done anything in tournaments with all their success in the past few years.
Western Reserve is playing the best basketball so far of all the district teams here in my opinion.
Best player in the district is not the Stone kid but he is a load inside. Averaging 15 points and 12 boards. But his field goal percentage and his foul shot percentage are way down from last year. Great kid but I would argue that there are 5 players from his own league that are better players. He may peak second half of the season but wont win p.o.y.for the n10 at this point let alone district.
Dark horse for this year that could make noise is unfortunately and I hate to say this actually... Huron if donkeybutt dump would actually pay attention to the actual real players from his team and factually see that his team may see the have potential to make a real run with kids who are on the team and not his drug induced imaginary friends! 😎😎

Stock way up: Willard: (8-3) Recently defeated Shelby and Huron Stock up: Huron: 5-6) Defeated Western despite losing to Willard Stock Holding: Western (8-4) big win in league vs South Central but losing to tough non league SBC teams like Perkins and Huron Stock Holding: Carey. (7-4) Taking care of business in an easy portion of their schedule Stock Down: Upper (10-3): Thumped by Lexington and lost to Mohawk as well
Although Willard got thumped by Upper earlier in the year, I'd say they have moved up to 50/50 odds of winning the district. I don't think Willard matches well with Upper so it would be in Willard's best interest to see Upper get upset early similar to what happened last year against Huron.

It cracks me up how Willard wins a couple of games and all of a sudden the Willard people think they going to regionals. I mean it’s definitely a possibility, but if you read the Willard thread according to some Willard was a mess until this past weekend.

I can't believe there is 53 pages on Willard basketball. That's gotta be an NOSF record, for a topic.

I can't believe there is 53 pages on Willard basketball. That's gotta be an NOSF record, for a topic. Not yet, but it's on track to be. The current longest is the 2017 dynasty baseball league thread that finished with 63 pages and 1872 posts.

Upper Sandusky (10-4), who was 8-1 when I started this thread, plays At Carey and also Ridgedale this week (not sure I still feel this is there district to win) Willard seems to be improving and Upper seems to be staying the same. Willard (10-3) hosts two good D4 schools St. Paul and Margaretta this week. Just wish they had last years schedule. I think we would have a better feel for how good they are if they were playing Norwalk, Lexington, Madison, even Ontario. Western Reserve (9-4) has only one game this week (Plymouth) and should be in fine position to win out prior to the draw. Carey (8-4) has a tough week. Hosting Upper and Mohawk. We will learn alot about Carey this week! Huron (6-7) has a chance to make things interesting before the draw with games vs. PC, St. Paul, Edison and St. Mary...they COULD go 4-0 and sit at 10-7 at the seeding. Can Oak Harbor (7-5) get in on the mix? Still not a lot of good wins there. Still not sure, that would be enough to get them a top 4 seed. We'll see. I know New London is sitting there at 7-5 but I still won't talk much about them. They have won the games they should but haven't been able to hang with anyone decent ( St. Paul, South Central, Western, Wellington)

Based on what I've seen, what I've read, and comparing common opponents.....
1 Upper 2 Willard 3 Carey 4 Western
The top 2 may flip based on the next 5/6 games, but as of now, the Shelby victory for Willard does not out-weigh the beating Upper gave Willard on opening night.
I really think the top 3 are the only ones with a realistic chance to win the district. However, Huron and OH are capable of an upset.

If Upper and Willard are within a game of each other the coaches will likely vote Upper 1 because of their win over Willard. At least that’s been the protocol for this area in the past. Really doesn’t matter though. Willard is going to go to Monroeville and Upper is going to go to Hopewell. It becomes interesting what Carey/Western do.

Western will most likely go to Monroeville. Carey on the other hand would have liked to play Upper the second time before the draw to see where they would want to go.. but that game has been rescheduled for after the draw. So it will be an interesting thing. Upper may choose to go to Monroeville over Hopewell just like it did with going to Shelby last year. We can speculate alot on what teams will do. What it will boil down to is who each team thinks it matches up best with. Still some pretty good games ahead to help sort out seeds.

MaxPreps has these teams ranked by (record) and strength of schedule. I would imagine having a negative strength of schedule says a lot.
Willard (11-3) -1.7
Upper Sandusky (10-5) 0.4
Huron (6-7) 4.8

As last year played out in the tournament, Upper can be beat at any point. I see Carey jumping to Upper's side of the bracket. They are a matchup nightmare for Upper.
