Early MBC Top 5
After spending the last few days previewing Dayton Divisions as a whole, now I will shift my focus to early conference previews. The goal here is to show you right now who the Top 3 teams are in the conference and the Top 5 players. Let’s look at the Metro Buckeye Conference.
- Dayton Christian– 4 starters return for a Warriors team that won the MBC title last season. Matt Welker leads the charge and gives DC a real chance at making a run in Division III. The only concern will be how they guard Troy Christian’s James Anderson, who dominated DC in both meetings last season.
- Troy Christian– The Eagles return this season as one of the MBC’s top teams. James Anderson is a ridiculous player with great talent and is one of the top players in SW Ohio. With his height and talent, he could easily record a double-double every given night.
- Legacy Christian– 4 of the top 5 scorers return for a Knights team that showed bursts of potential with victories over several strong teams. One of the few teams to defeat Troy Christian, LC will have a chance to compete near the top of the MBC this season.
Top 5 Players
James Anderson (Troy Christian)- Dynamic player with great rebounding and scoring ability.
Matt Welker (Dayton Christian)- Defensive guard with a nice 3PT touch.
Jarod Hamlin (Middletown Christian)- Stretch forward with great range and rebounding skill.
James Browning (Yellow Springs)- Do-it-all player with tremendous rebounding skill.
Marc Williams (Miami Valley School)- Talented distributing guard with a nice scoring touch as well.
