<p>The OHSAA regular season is about halfway complete and it's time to update our OHSAA rankings for each Division. We've reached Division III, a Division some think is the most competitive top to bottom in the state!</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Garfield Heights (9-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wins over Lutheran East and Garfield Heights see the Bulldogs start to gain momentum heading into another tough stretch of games.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Akron Hoban (9-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Knights have crushed some easier opponents over the past two weeks but their schedule gets tough again soon.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Cincinnati Aiken (8-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Snow is the only thing that's stopped this unbeaten train from cruising along with both of their games cancelled last week.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Bishop Hartley (9-1)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A road win at Bishop Watterson and a blowout of Hamilton Township sees the Hawks soar back into the top 5.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Bishop Watterson (7-1)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With a late start due to football, I've been impressed with how Watterson has jumped out the gates firing. An overtime win over Pickerington North impressed me and their lone loss came to rival Bishop Hartley in a tight contest.</p>

<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Louisville (8-4)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Miami Trace (10-0)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Six of the Panthers wins are by 10 points or less but that also shows the quality of competition they are unbeaten against.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Toledo Central Catholic (7-2)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A statement win over Perrysburg keeps the Irish in the top 10 despite losses to Lima Senior and Orchard Lake St Mary's, a top team out of Michigan.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">10. Lima Shawnee (11-2)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>They avenged their first loss of the year to Lima Central Catholic but unfortunately won't get a rematch with Delphos St John's who handed them their second loss.</p>
