Zane Trace is the favorite, but Beam was a major part of their success last year and O’dell’s length and shooting will be missed as well. Evans, Davidson, Johnson, Nesser, Rothe, Swain, Lambert (x2) will be a big problem for the rest of the league over the next 2 seasons.

I don’t see the Southeastern push as much as I’ve been hearing, but Ruby is outstanding and Wheeler really came on strong to end last year. They relied on Hartman to score a ton late in the season a year ago and if they can find someone to fill his shooting (Gillum?), then I could see it a bit more.

Piketon has to replace a crazy high usage rate that they had with Perdue, but they’ve got the athletes and Blanton can really play, so that could be their go-to scorer that they need. Also, had a nice JV squad that should provide them with depth as well.

Paint Valley will be solid. Obviously, you take a big step back when you lose the all time leading scorer in Ross County/SVC history, but the cupboard isn’t bare. 4 returning starters, but like last year, depth could be an issue.

Look out for Adena. Their style is different and they were super young last year. Fout is a POY candidate and Garrison was awesome the 2nd half of his freshman season. If the sophomores can make a big leap, watch out.

Huntington has 3 really nice pieces, plus a couple of shooters, just little depth. But, if McCloskey gets going, they can be a lot to deal with. They will be improved.

Westfall lost their only ball handler, but returns everyone else. Wyman can flat out shoot it. Likely will be another rough season for the Mustangs.

I think overall, the league will be better to the bottom of the league, while the top won’t be as strong.

Young, but should be interesting. Also, we will be short in stature for the first time in 7-8 years. But, I think we will be fun to watch and will really get after people defensively. Early season might be the time to get us, because of how many new roles we will be filling.

In reality, we lost 2 of our top 5 players in school history and 2 others who were major contributors in a class that won 89 out of 100 games, so it would make sense to take a major step back. The returners have worked hard though and after the dead period ends, I’m sure will be putting in a lot of time to try and maintain the success we’ve had recently.

Unioto will lack the superior athletes this year so we will see how Coach Hoops can do. Piketon and PV are teams to watch I think. Heard Blanton scored 25 in a half against Chillicothe this summer so he might be able to replace some of the scoring of Perdue. I would expect them to be better on defense and have 10-12 legit varsity players. Paint Valley will have a lot of experiments and I think they are going to just continue the success from football straight onto the hardwood. Adena will be a fun team to watch and might be a really solid team the end of the year. SE and H will go as Ruby mccloskey go. Westfall will be better than expected. Overall SVC will be fun to watch and should compete out of conference
