<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Ohio High School Basketball season starts December 1st and the entire month of November is being dedicated to previewing the high school basketball season. We're starting with top teams in each Division, breaking down who has the best chance to make it to Dayton. In this article we'll preview our 6th through 10th ranked Division IV teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Maumee Valley Country Day</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a senior duo of Cj Majors and [player_tooltip player_id='1605224' first='Amani' last='Dickerson'] back, Maumee Valley Country Day has experience and top talent. Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='2128752' first='Ty' last='Lewis'] adds some size in the paint. With a tough conference and non-conference schedule, they'll be battle tested heading into the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Berlin Hiland</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A team that seems to make a deep playoff run no matter who is on the roster, Hiland is back to make it to Dayton once again. With final four trips in four of the past six years, Hiland is always a tough out come playoff time. Sammy Detwiler and Alex Yoder are senior leaders this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Jackson Center</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After graduating all of their all conference selections from last season, Jackson Center will have a new look squad in 2023-24. [player_tooltip player_id='1935950' first='Reed' last='Platfoot'] is a prime breakout candidate this season. In a tough SCAL, they'll be ready for the playoffs when the time comes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Toledo Christian</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another TAAC squad, [player_tooltip player_id='1225073' first='Xandyr' last='Hesson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1450352' first='Conye' last='Gaston'] are a great senior duo with junior [player_tooltip player_id='1943724' first='Karter' last='Koester'] providing a nice scoring punch. With a manageable non-conference schedule, Toledo Christian could rack up the wins heading into the playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. South Webster</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Legendary southeast Ohio coach Norm Persin returns to coach a South Webster team with a ton of talent. Led by [player_tooltip player_id='1432019' first='Eli' last='Roberts'], the Jeeps will look to return to the top of the SOC, which has established itself as a top conference in southeast Ohio. Could Persin lead the Jeeps back to the state final four?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
