League Preview- Greater Western Ohio Conference

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Teams to Watch- Springboro, Fairmont</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is tough to call, the conference is very talented top to bottom. Springboro likely has the top talent back with a good mixture of size and guards. Fairmont also has a group of talented sophomores coming back, Wayne lost sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='537670' first='Brooklyn' last='Hall'] to Western Reserve Academy but returns a good nucleus of talent. Be ready for an improved Springfield team who went 2-12 in GWOC play last season. Beavercreek has a very poised and balanced attack back and Centerville still has some good talented kids back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></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":["508013"],"_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":"Emily takes on a much bigger role this season as she will fall into one of the primary scoring roles for the Elks as she had a pretty consistent year. last season averaging just over 9 points per game.

She definitely is not afraid to let it fly from the perimeter and the three, connecting on almost 80 of them last season. Shot 39% from behind the arc and 84% from the line. She is the go-t0 player for the Vikings, has good hands and looks to expand her game this season.
