OHSAA Division III Preseason 6-10

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're previewing the OHSAA season with the top teams in each Division. After previewing the top 10 teams in Division IV we started the <a href="https://prephoops.com/2023/11/ohsaa-division-iii-preseason-top-5/">top 5</a> in Division III and continue with our 6-10th ranked teams in this article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Minford</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a regular season unbeaten against in-state opponents, Minford had a disappointing ending to their season in a playoff loss. Junior duo [player_tooltip player_id='1432013' first='Myles' last='Montgomery'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1888322' first='Bennett' last='Kayser'] are back and they'll once again be looking to dominate the SOC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Harvest Prep</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another trip to the final four for Harvest Prep, they return some talented guards with [player_tooltip player_id='1432008' first='Brandon' last='Roddy'] as their leader. [player_tooltip player_id='1675745' first='Khalil' last='Daniels'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1353043' first='Adonus' last='Abrams'] also provide size and shooting on the wings. Always playing one of the toughest non-conference schedules in Division III, Harvest Prep will once again be challenged thoroughly this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Wayne Trace</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Winners of one of the craziest district finals last season, Wayne Trace returns star [player_tooltip player_id='1421141' first='Brooks' last='Laukhuf'] who is already committed to Ohio Dominican. The Raiders had some impressive wins at the end of the year taking their last seven games prior to a playoff loss to powerhouse Ottawa Glandorf. With the best player on the floor most games, they'll always have a chance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Malvern</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a 21-1 regular season and returning seniors J'Allen Barrino and [player_tooltip player_id='1950569' first='Mitchell' last='Minor'], Malvern has one of the top small-town teams in the state. With that duo back, Malvern has another chance to win 20+ regular season games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Martins Ferry</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After starting the season 18-1, Martins Ferry struggled down the stretch but have a chance to start fresh with [player_tooltip player_id='1952004' first='Alex' last='Reese'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2428200' first='Anthony' last='Booth'] taking bigger roles this winter. If they can recreate the success they had early in the season, they'll stay in our top 10 this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
