6 Teams to Watch
Tecumseh
They lost a very good guard in Mae Mastin who is now playing in college. Back for Tecumseh is senior post player Gabby Russell Gabby Russell 5'9" | SF Tecumseh | 2023 State OH who was first-team all-league last season. Emma Garber Emma Garber 5'5" Tecumseh | 2023 OH is also back and was also all-league. She is a very good shooter and handles the ball well. Madi Moore Madi Moore 5'7" | SG Tecumseh | 2023 OH is a senior who is a solid force on the court, can play good defense.
North Union
Looking at their returning players, they very well could be the best team in the entire conference but time will well. They return their top seven players including first-team all-league Jada Davis and Abbey Price Abbey Price 5'8" | CG Marysville | 2024 State OH . Also back are two players who were second-team Audrey Benedict and Zoe Wedding. A 20-win team last year with everyone back.
Urbana
One of the players who we really enjoy watching at PGH is Peyton Mounce Peyton Mounce 5'10" | CG Urbana | 2025 State OH , who is ranked pretty high in her class in the rankings. She does it all with the ball, and she really did a lot of good things at a scrimmage I saw last weekend. Lyza Forson is a sophomore like Peyton and is strong in the paint but also has good range. They also have a promising freshman point guard Alex Dixon Alex Dixon 5'6" | PG Urbana | 2026 State OH who is solid. They look to contend in their division.
Jonathan Alder
They lost one of the best players in the entire area when Mary Ferrito graduated as the Player of the Year in her side of the conference. Evan Platfoot Evan Platfoot 5'8" | SF Jonathan Alder | 2024 State OH (feature photo above) returns as a player who returns and will see her role increase a lot this season. She is a player who can score. The problem is, who else steps up? Time will tell but they are a traditionally strong program.
Indian Lake
The Lakers return a very strong senior duo of Stephanie Altstaetter Stephanie Altstaetter 5'10" | PF Indian Lake | 2023 OH and Allison Kinney Allison Kinney 5'10" | SF Indian Lake | 2023 OH . Both are seniors who look to help lead the Lakers to the top of their division. Stephanie is a strong physical post player who finished in the top three of the league in rebounding. while Allison is a taller guard who is capable of scoring from the outside. Mackenzie Dixon Mackenzie Dixon 5'8" | CG Indian Lake | 2025 OH had a good freshman season and hopes to do bigger things this season.
London
Alana Kramer is one of the top returning players in the league as her numbers showed last season. She is a good leader and has good court skills. Also back is Kassie Patterson who is a junior who should be able to contribute more this season. The other returning all-conference player is Natalie Zabloudil. Look for them to definitely challenge this season.
Keep an eye on these players also!
