<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Lakota West (15-1)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The top team in the state of Ohio, Lakota West has a victory in an out of state tournament over national power St John's (DC) and their lone loss came to prep powerhouse La Lumiere in overtime by just one point. They are the favorites in Division I and have a massive conference game Vs Cincinnati Princeton next Friday night.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Newark (16-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Wildcats are the lone unbeaten in Division I, Newark has notable wins over Bishop Hartley, Reynoldsburg, Africentric and Toledo St Francis. They have a chance to complete the sweep over Reynoldsburg in a couple weeks as the season winds down!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Cincinnati Princeton (13-1)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Princeton got revenge on Mason, the only team to defeat them this season. Despite close calls Vs Hamilton and Fairfield, Princeton still controls their own destiny in the GMC. They only have to beat the number one team in the state in their building to do so.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Winton Woods (11-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>An unbeaten mark for Winton Woods as they have handled business in the ECC and have a crucial non-conference win over Bishop Hartley. They have some more key non-conference games coming up soon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Brecksville-Broadview Heights (14-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Bees have been rolling against Suburban League competition and remain unbeaten against a tricky schedule. Impressive resiliency by a group that's had some top players graduate the past few years and find success at the college level.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Olentangy (15-1)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Their city rival Olentangy Orange won the Division I state title last year but the Braves have caught the attention this season with a 15-1 mark. A road game against the Pioneers on February 7th will show how real threats they are in Division I.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Lima Sr (11-1)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Spartans have been very impressive with their lone loss coming to Lakota West and boasting wins over Toledo Central Catholic, Brunswick and more. I'd expect the Spartans to keep climbing this list as the season goes on.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Lutheran East (10-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Falcons hold wins over some of the top teams in Columbus (Reynoldsburg and Westerville North) and Cleveland (Garfield Heights and Saint Ignatius) as they remain unbeaten Vs a very tricky schedule.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Hilliard Bradley (14-2)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After a season opening loss to Cincinnati La Salle, Hilliard Bradley has rolled off 14 of their next 15 games with a chance at revenge against Olentangy Orange coming the day before Valentines Day. A clear contender in a crowded Division I central region.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Cincinnati Wyoming (15-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wyoming has been rolling through conference play with blowout win after blowout win. Getting better competition with games against the likes of Huber Heights Wayne and Cincinnati La Salle in the non-conference, Wyoming has a chance to complete an unbeaten season if they can get past games like Ferndale and Cincinnati St Xavier.</p>
