Preseason All-Delaware County Team

<p class="p2"><span class="s1">Up next just south of our last county team is Delaware County. Delaware County has quite a few schools and a ton of talent, especially from the Olentangy School District. </span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Buckeye Valley is on the rise with a nice sophomore class, and Delaware Hayes has a nice senior class that knows how to win. Honestly, I believe Delaware County is an underrated area of producing talent when it comes to a whole state.</span><span id="more-866322"></span></p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">First Team:</span></h3> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Nate Griggs (2020) | 6-0 PG | Delaware Hayes </b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Griggs is one of the tougher guards in Central Ohio. Doesn’t shy away from contact, rather absorbs it and still finishes inside through it. The senior puts the ball on a string and often gets defenders off balance. Hayes lead guard will likely see a boost in production, as they will need after losing their top scorer from last season. </span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Henry Hinkle (2021) | 6-0 PG | Olentangy Liberty </b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Henry Hinkle steps in as the top player for the Patriots this season after they lost a big senior class and a lot of production. Hinkle brings experience back as a vital piece of last years final four team. The junior can lead the offense<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>for Liberty, get others involved as well as knock down shots. It could be a learning and growing year for his team, but he should be at the top of that. </span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Dylan Herbert (2020) | 6-0 G | Buckeye Valley</b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Herbert can fill it up the quickest in the county. Lightning fast player that changes speeds left and right. Has been productive since his freshman season for the Barons and will be once again this season. Scores it pretty well from all three levels of the game. A player to watch in his new league this season too. </span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Paul Burris (2020) | 6-5 WF | Delaware Hayes </b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Delaware Hayes continues to pump out good basketball talent, Burris is no different. A prototypical player for this day and age with his ability to handle the ball as well as stretch the floor. Burris has length that affects both sides of the floor. Spot up shooter or can finish inside. Should have a big senior season for the Pacers. </span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Troy Scowden (2022) | 6-7 PF | Buckeye Valley </b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">The lengthy Scowden burst onto the scene last season for the Barons as a freshman, in which he was solid. An athletic big that can run the floor, stretch it and block shots. The sophomore should take another step forward this season with BV. Adding some more strength to his game could have him trending upward even more.</span></p> <p><i>There’s more than just the first team, check out who else will standout!</i></p> <h3><span style="color: #ff6600;">Honorable Mention:</span></h3> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Andre Irvin (2021) | 5-9 PG | Olentangy Orange </b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Ethan Smith (2022) | 6-0 G | Olentangy </b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Addison Harvey (2022) | 6-0 G | Delaware Hayes</b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Dylan Thompson (2022) | 6-1 WG | Buckeye Valley </b></span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1"><b>Max Stokey (2020) | 6-7 PF | Buckeye Valley</b></span></p>
