Start– The Spartans will look to be the favorites in the City League as they return a great core to build around. Stone Edwards Stone Edwards 6'6" | SF Toledo Start | 2023 State OH (Sr) had a great AAU season and will be looked upon for leadership. The addition of Romel Hightower Romel Hightower 6'5" | SF Toledo Start | 2023 State OH (Sr) from Toledo Scott gives the Spartans another weapon on the perimeter. Offensively this team will be able to score a bunch and will compete throughout the year.
Bowsher– The Blue Racers struggled throughout the year, but will be returning enough guys to compete in the City League in 2023. I like the combo of Dante Mays Dante Mays 5'6" | PG Bowsher | 2023 OH (Sr) and Nekhi Villolovos Nekhi Villolovos 6'5" | SF Toledo Bowsher | 2023 OH (Sr) to challenge. Mays was an All-District guard while Villolovos is one of the better rim protectors in the league. Showed they could beat a few teams in the league and can take the needed next step to compete.
Rogers– Rams are a few years removed from a fantastic season during COVID, and will move forward without one of their bigger names in Pharrell House Pharrell House 6'6" | SF Toledo Whitmer | 2023 State OH who transfers to Whitmer. Josh Jacobs Josh Jacobs 6'3" | SF Toledo Rogers | 2023 OH (Sr) comes back and will be leaned on heavily for the Rams to compete this year.
Scott– The Bulldogs would have been one of the favorites to win the City League had they not lost Romel Hightower Romel Hightower 6'5" | SF Toledo Start | 2023 State OH to Toledo Start. Hezekiah Ray (Sr) returns and will be the guy for the Bulldogs in 2023.
Waite/Woodward– Both teams lose their top guys and will look to new faces to lead them as the season progresses onward.
