Richmond Heights: The clear-cut favorite to win the state title, Richmond Heights went to the final four last season as well. Josiah Harris Josiah Harris 6'7" | PF Richmond Heights | 2022 State #243 Nation OH is the most productive player in Division IV and he has a lot of help around him. With talented freshman and transfers, it’s going to be tough to beat Richmond Heights.
Tri-Village: After an unbeaten regular season, Tri-Village returns a majority of their production from last season including star Layne Sarver Layne Sarver 6'4" | SF Tri-Village | 2022 State OH . That’s a great recipe for success this season, they open at Mason which has the highest enrollment in the state.
Antwerp: Antwerp has been one of the more consistent Division IV programs the past couple seasons and Jagger Landers Jagger Landers 6'7" | PF Antwerp | 2022 State OH is a senior this season. Led by Landers, it’ll be tough to beat the Archers this season.
Dalton: Dalton is Richmond Height’s biggest hurdle in NEO with the Wenger brothers and a solid cast of teammates that have experience and talent. Dalton always plays one of the tougher schedules among Division IV teams as well.
Emmanuel Christian: Jerry Easter is nationally ranked and he brought some talent to Emmanuel Christian. This team is super young so they might take some time to gel, but their ceiling is incredibly high this season.
Other teams to watch: Botkins, Fort Loramie, Trimble, Columbus Grove, Margaretta, Newark Catholic, Malvern
