League Preview- Southern Buckeye Athletic and Academic Conference

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Teams to Watch- Goshen, Northeastern</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Goshen returns their top players as they look to capture the American Division of the SBAAC. I would say they are the favorites with Western Brown losing a couple of key players to graduation. A lot of key seniors from the top teams graduated in the National Division, so it is up for grabs. East Clinton was 12-0 in league play last year, but lost their three double-figure scorers. If i were guessing, I would give the edge to Northeastern at the top. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5 Players to Watch</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["366789"],"_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":"Peyton is the top player returning in the conference, earning POY last season in her division.
