League Preview- Greater Miami Conference

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Teams to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top four teams in the conference are going to battle all season long as they compete for a league title, won by Mason last season. The Comets certainly have enough to repeat but they will be pushed by the defending D1 state champs from Princeton, emerging Lakota East and one of the traditional favorites Lakota West. Buckle in for what surely will be quite a ride this season. Oh.. and the trip of Mason, Princeton and Lakota Easy=t combined for an overall record last season of 75-8. Yeah....grab your popcorn!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>5 Players to Watch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["319293"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of the most talented guards in Ohio, ranked #2 in Ohio in the 2025 class with a variety of weapons on the court.

I love what she brings to the court and I imagine her numbers should improve this season as she takes on a bigger role as the leading returning scorer. She is so athletic and plays very good on-ball defense. Able to get to the rim and finish. u003ciu003e(featured photo u003c/iu003eu003ciu003eabove)u003c/iu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["748679"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Katie might get overlooked with so many amazing players in the conference, but Fox is top 15 in Ohio in the 2026 class, and along with [player_tooltip player_id='481383' first='Anna' last='Habra'], they are the future of the game in Cincinnati. But for Katie, the future is now. As a freshman, Katie averaged 14 points per game and she also has great court vision.
