D4 Central District Preview

Northmor
15-10 (Knox Morrow Athletic Conference)

Lost in District Finals 50-38 (OT) to Patriot Prep

Who is Back: Grant Bentley (Sr)- 1st Team All District, Jaxon Wenger (Jr)- 2nd Team All District

Who is Gone: 

Burning Question: Is Northmor the new team to beat in Central Ohio?

Outlook: Division IV in Central Ohio is wide open and there are not a lot of teams that make strong cases to win. Northmor has a nice upperclassmen led group with deep postseason success. The Golden Knights might be the favorites for now.


Northside Christian
23-4 (Mid Ohio Christian Athletic League)

Lost in Regional Finals 52-50 to Hiland

Who is Back: Carter Jury (Sr)

Who is Gone: Landon Vanderwarker- District Player of the Year-transferred to Delaware Hayes

Burning Question: What will the Lions look like now without Vanderwarker?

Outlook: After a historic run to the Regional Finals last year, Northside Christian now loses their top player and looks at a new coach as Kevin Weakley comes over from Worthington Christian. Central Ohio in Division IV is wide open and if the Lions can buy in to Weakley and previous successes, they could still be around in the District race.


Patriot Prep
19-7

Lost in Regional Semifinals 54-45 to Jackson Center

Who is Back: Chris Stokes (Sr)- 3rd Team All District, Dominic Sammons (Sr)

Who is Gone: Keith Prysock (1st Team All District)

Burning Question: Can Patriot Prep return to Regionals?
​
Outlook: Patriot Prep loses their top guy from last year, but return their next top guys and should be one of Central Ohio’s top teams.
