SW District- Div. 2 Dayton Sectional Preview

Division Two in Dayton should be very competitive in the sectionals this season. Some familiar names at the top of the seeding, and many talented players who should draw the attention of scouts and coaches viewing the games. <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;">Schedule of Games</span></strong> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: impact, sans-serif;">TECUMSEH HIGH SCHOOL</span> <em>Feb. 11- Carroll (2) vs Ben Logan (12) 5:30; Stivers (10) vs Kenton Ridge (6) 8:00</em> <em>Feb. 13- Eaton (4) vs Bellefontaine (11) 11:00; Trotwood Madison (3) vs Shawnee (13) 1:30; Greenville (9) vs Urbana (5) 4:00.</em> F<em>eb. 16- Northwestern (8) vs Carroll/Ben Logan 5:30; Tippecanoe (1) vs Stivers/Kenton Ridge 8:00,</em> <em>Feb. 18- Graham (7) vs Eaton/Bellefontaine 5:30; Trotwood/Shawnee vs Greenville/Urbana 8:00/</em> <em>Feb. 22- Lower Bracket Finals 5:30, Upper Bracket Finals 8:00.</em> <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Top 8 Seeds</span></strong></span> 1.

It will be interesting to see how they compete without many games under their belt this season. Like the Tecumseh bracket, both of the top two seeds could square off in the lower bracket finals as Valley View and Alter are in the same bracket. <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Players to Watch</span></strong></span> Mahya Lindesmith, 5-7 2022, Hamilton Badin Jada Pohlen, 5-9 2022, Hamilton Badin Amauria Moore, 5-10 2021, Dunbar [player_tooltip player_id="211749" first="Emily" last="Adams"], 6-0 2021, Fenwick Madalyn Mahoney, 5-8 2023, Fenwick Grace Baker, 5-6 2021, Middletown Madison [player_tooltip player_id="218278" first="Kylie" last="Wells"], 5-8 2024, Middlletown Madison Margie Conrath, 5-8 2021, Oakwood Emma Neff, 5-6 2023, Oakwood Jordan Pettigrew, 5-8 Ponitz Caraline Kernan, 5-8 2022, Alter Karlie Romer, 5-10 2022, Alter Riley Smith, 6-2 2024, Alter Abby Dickson, 5-4 2021, Valley View [player_tooltip player_id="32608" first="Claire" last="Henson"], 5-10 2022, Valley View Lauren Legate, 5-10 2021, Valley View [player_tooltip player_id="218358" first="Morganne" last="Postel"]l, 5-7 2024, Thurgood Marshall Peyton Shafer, 5-6 2024, Goshen &nbsp; &nbsp;
