<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Delaware Hayes</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Already projected to be one of the top teams in central Ohio with Ohio Bobcat commit [player_tooltip player_id='1222373' first='Jesse' last='Burris'], the Pacers added transfer [player_tooltip player_id='1432060' first='Landon' last='Vanderwalker'] to boost their rotation. Combine that with plenty of shooters and depth at the guard position and the Pacers will be a tough offense to defend.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Garfield Heights</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A loaded roster, [player_tooltip player_id='1705948' first='Marcus' last='Johnson'] leads the way after a first team all-state freshman season with a senior laden core that includes DeAndre Jones, [player_tooltip player_id='1222346' first='Calvin' last='Little'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1222357' first='Carter' last='Jackson']. All three are committed to Kent State, Fairmont State and Canisius respectively. Combine that with young 2026 and 2027 talent ready to make a name this season, Garfield Heights has a deep roster. Always playing one of the toughest schedules in northeast Ohio, the Bulldogs will be battle tested come playoff time.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Toledo Whitmer</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The class of northwest Ohio, Whitmer has a team that on paper could dominate the region. [player_tooltip player_id='1432018' first='Antione' last='West Jr'] has taken a huge step and looks poised to be one of the top guards in Ohio. [player_tooltip player_id='1432039' first='Makhi' last='Leach'] comes from Toledo Central Catholic to add more depth at the guard position. Ta'Marrion Davis is a senior who should play a big role and guards Damien Clay and Elijah McLeod can play a role. If the pieces come together, sky is the limit for the Panthers.</p>
