They just beat Oak Hill Academy (Va.) in a nationally televised game at the Basketball Hall of Fame's Hoophall Classic. They are defending State Champions and currently ranked #2 in the country. J.D. Weatherspoon and Jared Sullinger (maybe the best player in the country) are commits for another great recruiting class at OSU.
Anybody else keeping tabs on this team? They are impressive.

Central Ohio H.S. Sports have gotten a lot of exposure this year on ESPN- from the Herbstreit Classic, in which 6 of the 8 teams were from the OCC (UA, Pick Central, Hill. Davidson, Dublin Coffman, Westerville South, and Olentangy Liberty) to Northland being Nationally Ranked. Central Ohio high school sports are underrated on a state standpoint, as opposed to heavyhitters Cincinnati and Cleveland with their St. X's, St. Ignatiuses, St. Ed's, Glenvilles, etc.

They play at the Schott on Saturday against Bishop Luers. It's one of the 7 games that make up the The 8th Annual Ohio Scholastic Play-by-Play Classic.
Being a Northland grad, it's nice to see them doing well. :)

Columbus area sports are definitely on the upswing. Hilliard Davidson shocked Clevelnad Glenville in the Div I football championship. Big Walnut, DeSales, Eastmoor, Brookhaven and Watterson have all been to the final in recent years.
Remarkably, area teams swept all 3 Division championships in Boys Soccer last fall - Gahanna Lincoln, DeSales and Worthington Christian. I have to wonder how much having the Crew and their youth programs have helped.
Central Ohio is also traditionally strong in golf, tennis, field hockey, swimming and diving. Definitely good to see improvements in football and basketball competitiveness, though.
