Outlook: A very competitive week of District 9 basketball begins today. Mansfield enters the postseason as the No. 1 ranked team in Class 2 and its inside-outside combination of Mansfield and Watterson. The big hurdle in their way the past few seasons has been Hartville, who has defeated them in the playoffs the past few seasons. Fordland and Seymour are also strong teams looking for a championship trophy as well. Buckle up. This will be a good one.
