State Tournament 2026 Top Teams-Division 4/Region 13

Canfield (20-3)- The addition of Jace Riccardo has helped Canfield as they earned the top seed in the Northeast District. While the Cardinals losses came to the likes of Youngstown Ursuline and Alliance, they don’t have as many big wins to compare with other teams in the District. 

Cleveland Glenville (14-9)- The Tarblooders started the 2025 calendar year 2-4 with close losses to mainly bigger schools. SInce then Glenville has been up and down. They have wins over the likes of Hawken and Brunswick. But also have losses to Cleveland Rhodes and Bedford. Even with the record they have, Glenville is the highest seed in their District and should be able to get to the District Final.

Norton (21-2)- A bit of an unknown to individuals outside of Northeast Ohio, the Panthers started the season 17-0 with victories over Woodridge and Medina Highland. Losses to Lutheran East and Akron Ellet were the only times Norton was defeated. The Panthers can put the ball in the bucket at a high rate, with numerous games scoring in the mid-70s. They could have a major test in front of them with a potential District Final with 3-seeded Cleveland Central Catholic.

Warrensville Heights (13-9)- The Tigers did not end the regular season on best of terms splitting their final 8 games. Another team with a tough schedule, the Tigers have shown they can hang with different styles of basketball and compete with some of the best teams in the state. Recently scored 102 points in their first tournament game. The Tigers may face Cleveland Benedictine in a potential District FInal.
