<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's time to update our OHSAA Rankings in every Division, we already posted <a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/01/ohsaa-division-iv-rankings-1-11/">Division IV</a> and will have Division's I and II tomorrow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Lutheran East (11-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing a tough schedule with as many marquee wins as anybody in the state, Lutheran East has separated themselves from the rest of the pack in Division III this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Ottawa Glandorf (9-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Titans have played some tough non-conference games and tripped up against Lima Central Catholic, but the Titans have the winning experience and a strong record to remain at number two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Preble Shawnee (11-0)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just racking up the wins, [player_tooltip player_id='1067753' first='Mason' last='Shrout'] and the Arrows are unbeaten and in position to make it to Dayton after falling just short last year. They would have a home crowd advantage if they were able to make it to states.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Toledo Emmanuel Christian (9-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A win over Medina jumps off the page and their only loss is to Division II unbeaten CVCA. With conference home and homes against Division IV powers Maumee Valley Country Day and Toledo Christian coming up soon, they'll have more games in the spotlight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Malvern (10-0)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Their closest game has been a nine point win, they haven't been challenged yet by their schedule or with a tight game late but winning in that dominant of fashion should be celebrated.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Harvest Prep (9-4)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Their only Ohio losses are to Division I foes Westerville South and Licking Heights. With wins over Wheelersburg, Dayton Dunbar and Springfield, Harvest Prep stays in the top 10 with the most losses of any ranked team in this Division.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Minford (9-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a disappointing loss to Division I New Albany, the Falcons have ran through some top local teams like North Adams and South Webster. If they keep winning there's nowhere to go but up with their tough conference schedule.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Margaretta (8-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a season opening loss to Bellevue, the Polar Bears have been racking up the wins since. With a manageable schedule, they could win 20 games by playoff time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Columbus Academy (9-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The loss to Bishop Ready was tough but Columbus Academy has some quality wins and will likely find themselves higher on this list or outside the top 10 after games with Olentangy Berlin, Worthington Christian and Whitehall in the next 8 days.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Wayne Trace (9-1)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lone loss comes in overtime to Convoy Crestview, they'll take on Miami East at Flyin' To The Hoop in a game that will get statewide eyeballs on the Raiders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Watchlist (By Region) Mariemont (9-2) Indian Lake (8-2) Tri Village (10-1) Harrison Central (10-1) Johnstown Northridge (7-2) Wheelersburg (8-2) Ashland Crestview (10-0) Archbold (9-0)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading -->
