Based on what they bring back from last season and what we saw from them this summer it is hard to go in any other direction than to have Oak Hill as the preseason top team in Class 2A. Senior point guard Jace Tonagel Jace Tonagel 5'11" | PG Oak Hill | 2027 State IN , who is committed to play at Indiana Wesleyan, averaged 16.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.6 steals per game last season. He and his younger brother will make up one of the best backcourts in the state regardless of class.

The box score numbers might not jump off of the page, but Tonagel made a major impact in both games on Saturday for Grand Park Premier 17u. The talented 5’10” playmaking point guard knocked in a couple of three-point shots in the first game of the day and then came up with some huge plays down the stretch in a win on Saturday evening. Not only does Tonagel shoot it well, but he is also an outstanding passer. A big reason why the GPP big men look so good on the rim run and on the roll is because of how good Tonagel is at throwing those passes.

Oak Hill is an incredibly impressive Class 2A team, especially for a rural, public school. They play as hard collectively as any team that we have seen all month long. Tonagel serves as the head of the snake and was outstanding scoring 26 points against the defending Class 4A State Champions Mt. Vernon (Fortville) on Friday night. He does such a great job of handling the ball, can shoot it from three-point range at a high-percentage, and is an outstanding playmaker for his teammates.

Oak Hill was dicing up Penn in the game that we watched at Super Hoops on Saturday and Tonagel, their rising senior point guard, was a big part of it. He shot it from three-point range, sliced his way through the defense for some tough finishes inside, and consistently hit the roll man for some nice assists. His court vision and passing ability is at as high of a level as any guard in Indiana’s Class of 2027. Paired with his rising sophomore brother in the backcourt, the Tonagel’s are going to be incredibly hard to stop at the Class 2A level.

Oak Hill spent some time at #1 in the Class 2A Polls this season and was consistently one of the top three. Their 25-2 record ended in the North Semi-State. Tonagel was the engine of their offense averaging 16.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, and 2.6 steals per game for the Golden Eagles.
