I think it will end up at Ontario or Galion. Of course if at Galion at least galionfan13 will get to see a district champion play. Although it wouldn't be Galion. Galionfangirl just cried himself to sleep.

I thought they were waiting until the four teams are established to lock in where it is? Can't put it at Lexington or Mansfield and then they make the district. I'd strictly guess it'll end up at Ontario or Mansfield Madison. Madison is not an option. Oops, didn't realize that. Not upset about that one. Last time I was in there reception was God awful. Or hit and miss at best.
Probably not an issue and probably doesn't end up there, but Mansfield Senior also has girls regionals that week. I think back when MS did host this D2 district, it wasn't an issue.

NWDAB will be sending out notification next week about verifying results and cleaning up what's showing up on MaxPreps. Will be "frozen" on 2/9 at 11:59 pm for the draw so schools will need to get their Friday night games entered.
If you look around Northwest Ohio, there's plenty of garbage in the ratings and on Maxpreps right now.

If you look around Northwest Ohio, there's plenty of garbage in the ratings and on Maxpreps right now. I just wish the OHSAA would use the Martin RPI system. It also gives credit for playing up a division. Not because I am a Lexington fan and they are in 1st place in the district. But it seems to be a more accurate assessment of the teams. Also if using the RPI system to seed the they need to move the draw to the end of the season to give each team their full body of work. Lex plays Ottawa Glandorf on the 17th of February. And Shelby plays Findlay and Willard after the seeds are drawn.

I've been hearing Mansfield is the top spot if they are not still playing. Lexington is option 2. In the pool are then Ontario, Galion, Willard. As a fan wanting to attend all three District games I think Mansfield is the best place.

I find it interesting this is the scenario with a district while Mansfield Senior hosts the Division II regionals where Mansfield Senior could be playing... Is there a plan in place if this happens? Senior is the top seed in the Division II Old Fort district.

Senior is the top seed in the Division II Old Fort district. In the past the OHSAA does not move regionals if the host school is involved. It is possible that the District site is handled more locally by NWDAB and so they are trying to deal with it but OHSAA is not concerned.

Here are the Current Rankings with the Tournament Draw happening on Sunday at around 2:00pm. Many teams still have one to two games over the next few days. I have included what their current RPI.
1. Shelby 15-2 .682083 2. Lexington 18-1 .674381 3. Bellevue 15-3 .661506 4. Willard 14-3 .654607 5. Mansfield Sr. 14-5 .617968 6. Perkins 9-7 .562030 7. Galion 8-9 .512053 8. Columbian 8-10 .506855 9. Clear Fork 7-10 .481805 10. Ontario 4-13 .423653 11. Vermilion 4-14 .388103

Here is what each team has left the next three days
Shelby- Ontario and Findlay Lexington- West Holmes Bellevue- Perkins Willard- Edison and Lucas Mansfield- New Philadelphia and Trotwood-Madison Perkins- Bellevue and North Olmsted Galion- River Valley Columbian- Norwalk Clear Fork- Highland Ontario- Shelby Vermilion- Port Clinton
The Shelby vs. Findlay game could decide the 1 Seed, 3 and 4 could flip, 7 and 8 could flip. I believe that Seeds 5, 9, 10, and 11 are set. Could be an interesting next three days.

How many of these teams have a legitimate chance at winning this district? Top 2? Top 3? Top 5? Maybe 6?

I think Lex or Shelby can win it. But the most interesting part of the bracket to me is Perkins vs Columbian in which the winner plays Willard. Anyone of those can win and advance to the district. I take Mansfield Senior over Ontario and Bellevue. Galion over ClearFork. And of course Shelby over Vermillion.

Only Shelby or Lex will win the district. These other teams (Willard, Bellevue, Mansfield, Perkins and Tiffin) are all good but not good enough to beat Shelby and Lex in back to back district games. And with the new school way of seeding everyone in the entire district, there is no chance either get upset in the sectional. (Sorry Galionfan13)
Shelby and Lex are the best two teams in NW Ohio...unfortunately #1 ranked in the state (AP POLL, MAXPREPS RPI AND MARTIN RPI) Lutheran West jumped in the NW Ohio bracket and that will be the Regional Final game for the Shelby/Lex winner. To put it in perspective, Lutheran West just beat Lima Sr, by 28.
A little surprised Lutheran West chose to go to BG to face Shelby/Lex (Both top 5 Martin RPI, Shelby is 2). They would have likely faced off against Youngstown Ursuline (definitely no slouch!) if they stayed East and gone to Canton.

Northeast Ohio has 5 districts, just like NW does for D4. In NW Ohio D4, geographically, the Willard district goes to Cleveland area. However in NE Ohio, they seed everyone 1-61 and let them choose where they go to any of the 5 districts.

I agree with the others that this district comes down to Shelby or Lex. Senior could get hot but I think they’ll struggle shooting the ball at Bellevue and it wouldn’t shock me if they lost up there. Willard with a possible rematch with Lex in the district semi’s is intriguing. They were real close to pulling off the upset last year and I’m sure they’d love another shot at them. Shelby seems to be peaking at the right time. Just got to get some kids healthy. Gonna be some fun ball to watch.

Shelby and Lex look dang tough . As a Willard fan ,, a real shame we arent D3 because we are only a few kids over. We are essentially the same team as last year. We pushed Lex to the limit ,,, but made a few crucial errors in the final 25 seconds to lose it.

Bellevue and Mansfield were the #4 and #5 seeds last year with similar records and Mansfield handled them. I expect more of the same this year.
I find it interesting that both #6 and #7 went direct towards Willard. After reading a quote from Saturdays game against D4 Lucas, the Perkins and TC thing Willard is soft? Willard coach Joe Bedingfield said he knew his team would face a challenge against the Cubs. “It’s (Lucas) a tough place (to play),” he said. “The physicality at Lucas is very similar to what we’ll see (in the tournament).”
Galion, as and #8 seed gets to host a tournament game. Having lost to both Clear Fork and Lexington, some may question this move. With the Galion shooters, they could have ran and outscored Mansfield and then had an easier round 2 game at Bellevue. If Galion can beat Clear Fork I suppose they could see it as a success.
Shelby will have an entire week to prepare for Vermilion.

If it does come down to those two in the finals it could be a very good one. The Lex - Willard game last year was a get tournament game. Most of the games at Madison last year were very good.

Bellevue 54 Ontario 51
This may not be a good showing for Bellevue with the tournament approaching as some see Mansfield as a 20 point winner over Ontario.
