SW District- Dayton Division 3 Sectional Preview

While the folks in Cincinnati will battle their way to the districts, their counterparts from the Dayton area also look to put together a run and make a move into the district finals at Springfield. Covington and Northridge will be hosting all of the Dayton area D3 teams with three teams advancing to the districts. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;">Schedule of Games</span> <strong><span style="font-family: impact, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">COVINGTON HIGH SCHOOL</span></strong> <em>Thur.

The Rockets advanced to the state final four last season before being shut down and always play a solid defensive game. Arcanum has plenty of firepower with Unger, Fearon and Gray. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong>Players to Watch</strong></span> Diamonique Story, 5-8 2021, Northridge [player_tooltip player_id="159036" first="Ella" last="Doseck"], 5-7 2021, Anna Ellie Snyder, 5-4 2022, Greeneview Rachel Strickle, 5-5 2021, Greeneview Stephanie Altstaetter, 5-10 2023, Indian Lake [player_tooltip player_id="93550" first="Allison" last="Kinney"], 5-10 2023, Indian Lake Sierra Brinson, 5-9 2024, Dixie [player_tooltip player_id="92539" first="Hailey" last="Unger"], 5-8 2022, Arcanum <em>(pictured above)</em> [player_tooltip player_id="32604" first="Madelyn" last="Fearon"], 5-7 2022, Arcanum [player_tooltip player_id="32607" first="Taylor" last="Gray"], 6-0 2022, Arcanum [player_tooltip player_id="32610" first="Emily" last="Hollar"], 5-6 2022, West Liberty Salem Selena Weaver, 6-0 2021, West Liberty Salem Grace Estes, 5-6 2021, West Liberty Salem Alena Seaquist, 5-5 2022, Dayton Christian Rory Hunley, 5-8 2021, Miami East Abby West, 5-8 2023, Greenon Claire Henry, 5-7 2023, Greenon [player_tooltip player_id="211742" first="Leah" last="Butterbaugh"], 5-8 2021, Waynesville Isabella Cassoni, 5-7 2022, Waynesville _______________________________________________________________________________________________ <span style="font-family: ’arial black’, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Schedule of Games</span></strong></span> <strong><span style="font-family: impact, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">NORTHRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL</span></strong> <em>Sat.
