I would think so and probably in that order.  Q probably has some transfers coming in although I haven't heard anything.

[Willard Fillmore]

IF the "transfers" are just "coming in" they'll have to sit out the last half of the season....even with Covid.

[Green Falcon]

I would imagine St. Francis is the favorite this year. Tied for second last year and has the number one player in the conference on their team.

[Keith]

I expect the Little Giants to be a much better team this year. Not a championship challenger, but a team that will win its share of games.

[edchambers]

The TRAC should be better top to bottom although I doubt that anybody will be quite as good as last year's Lima Senior team.

I agree that St. Francis should be the favorite. Four returning starters (including 6'9" & 6'7") and another kid that played starter's minutes. Will need to be more disciplined than a year ago and some egos will need to be held in check.

Findlay returns 4 starters losing only the point guard. They also return three other kids that played a ton of minutes.

Lima returns one starter plus two other kids that were part of the rotation. 6'6" Naz Cameron has moved back to Lima where he played varsity as a freshman after two years at London (OH). Good jv team last year. Don't know what else Coach Q may have up his sleeve but you know Lima will play hard.

St. John's had only two seniors (one starter and one off the bench who played starter minutes). If all the football players play this year, they'll be solid. Had two really good freshmen guards (Hornbeak as a starter and Greenlee off the bench) last year, but Greenlee has made his way over to Central.

Central has a really good sophomore class and added Greenlee from SJJ and 6'7" Jones from Whitmer. Central is probably a year away.

Clay returns four starters including the two bigs. Depth could be an issue.

Ross played a lot of young kids (freshmen & sophomores)and should be much improved. Not a lot of size at Ross.

Whitmer has a handful of kids that got varsity minutes last year. Not a lot of size either. Coach Stacey will get Whitmer back to contending but not season.

Not sure how much other player "movement" took place during the off-season.

Fremont Ross starts the season at 1-0, beating Bowling Green tonight, 58-52.

by double digits to boot.

Just remember though, Defiance won State the year after Norwalk; so only 5 years removed. Still a solid program.

[Keith]

Ross and Norwalk are tied 13-13 at the end of the 1st qtr

[Keith]

Ross leads Norwalk at the half, 33-32.

[maplecityjake]

Little Giants 3-point shooting hurting the Truckers. Coach Gray can't be pleased.

[Keith]

Ross leads Norwalk at the end of the 3rd qtr, 49-42

[maplecityjake]

Ross 49-42 at the end of 3.

[Keith]

Ross moves to 2-0 on the season with a 71-59 win over Norwalk. The Little Giants host Vermilion tomorrow night.

[maplecityjake]

I don't know if Ross can stay hot from 3, but a promising team, nevertheless.

[Keith]

Vermilion leads Ross 23-9 at the end of the 1st qtr.

[Keith]

Vermilion 34
Ross 30....half

[Keith]

This can happen a lot this season as kids may be bouncing in and out of quarantine and a teams gameday roster can change over night.

[edchambers]

The TRAC put out a release today saying they'll only be playing a single conference round. Schedule to be released shortly.

[jmorgret07]

Keith must be working today.

[maplecityjake]

I'll be honest; final spread a bit closer than anticipated. I was expecting a 25+ win for Olentangy.
