Early SCAL Top 5
After spending the last few days previewing Dayton Divisions as a whole, now I will shift my focus to early conference previews. The goal here is to show you right now who the Top 3 teams are in the conference and the Top 5 players. Let’s look at the Shelby County Athletic League.
- Fort Loramie– The Redskins are loaded and ready to take on the SCAL. With a strong core returning from a team that lost by 2 in the Regional Semifinals last year, Fort Loramie is a team to watch in Division IV again this year.
- Jackson Center– The Tigers are one of the best defensive teams in all of Northwestern Ohio. They did not allow more than 60 points in a game at all last year. With a few big pieces returning, JC will try to challenge Fort Loramie at the top of the league.
- Russia– It seems year in and year out the Raiders always are one of the better teams in Shelby County. This season will be no different. With one of the better shooters in the league returning, the Raiders will look to keep up with Loramie and Jackson Center near the top of the league.
Top 5 Players
Dillon Braun (Fort Loramie)- Talented guard with great vision and strong ball handling.
Evan Berning (Fort Loramie)- Athletic PG with great ball handling an strong offensive skill.
Bryce Sosby (Jackson Center)- Lock down defender who can also knock down 3PT shot.
Jack Dapore (Russia)- Sharpshooting guard with good defensive traits as well.
Tyler Siegel (Fort Loramie)- Dominating post player who finishes well through contact.
