OCC-Cardinal Top Teams:
Hilliard Bradley 14-0 (10-0)
At a powerful 14-0, with no sign of slowing down is exactly where Bradley is at. However, after losing Jack Pugh early in the season, Bradley has been able to continue their dominance. Without any real threat in the OCC-Cardinal, Bradley should roll to another conference ship. Led by stud Junior CG Matt Allocco, averaging 16 PPG, doing a lot of damage in the lane. But, With good wins over Walnut Ridge, Delaware Hayes and Springfield among others, the Jaguars are a team to watch in the postseason as well.
Dublin Jerome 10-4 (8-2)
Dublin Jerome is quietly one of the hottest teams in the area. Having won six in a row, and seven of eight, Jerome is rolling. Including quality wins over Delaware Hayes and Thomas Worthington on the season. The Celtics are led by a trio of players who all average double-figure points per game. Trey Ballengee, Dan Lee and Matthew Montgomery get things done for Jerome. The Celtics will look to finish top two in the conference, currently sitting at 8-2.
Delaware Hayes 11-4 (7-3)
One of the better teams Delaware has had in last few years, is led by a trio of good players. All capable scorers, Nate Griggs, Terin Kinsway and Paul Burris get things done for the Pacers. Taking care of most of their schedule, Delaware has a solid win over Thomas Worthington. Also, doing some work in a tournament in Florida. Delaware Hayes should be in the running for second place in the league, with Dublin Scioto.
Thomas Worthington 11-5 (6-4)
Thomas Worthington is having a solid season, with a relatively young team. Outside of Ohio University commit Ben Wight, Thomas Worthington is led by the sophomore tandem of Jalen Sullinger and Isaac Settles. The underclassmen duo combine for over 25 PPG, and will be a big part of the future. But for now, the Cardinals play some solid hoops. At fourth in the conference division, they have good wins over Dublin Jerome and Delaware Hayes on the season. However, Thomas Worthington is in prime position to fight for a top three spot in the conference.
