name the best juniors in southeast ohio

I would like to throw Austin Mcmasters in the hat. He is a great shooter and scorer who jumps alright and has a knack for the game. Very hard worker needs continued strength and work on defense and quickness but is a ood ball player and these things will continue to improve. With the rest of his junior year and another summer of improvement he will be a tough matchup for anyone. Should get a scholarship to play somewhere I know hes already getting a lot of looks currently and hes only going to get better.

Blake Yates - Valley
Jake Kretzler (sp?) - Waverly

Two very good juniors in the SOC.

Crab- It's just Kretzer. But, I believe your two, along with McMaster are the top 3 in the SE district. All are very, very tough players.

Mckinley and Evans from Portsmouth are right up there as well. Both are having very good years. In no particular order I would say just from the kids Ive seen play this year:
Kretzer
Yates
McMaster
McKinley
Evans

Austin Loop. he's a baller

Dion Mckinley and Wayne Evans and Zaide Whitley, who was hurt to begin the season and is just now starting to get back to 100 %

Didn't realize that Dion was only a junior. Add him to my previous 3 and I'd put Wayne Evans on any All-Defensive team as well.

Take a look around. The Seoal is dominated by Juniors. The top three teams would be nothing without their Juniors. Its not TEAM to name them individually.

What about Malik London im not certain on this but i think he is only a junior. Not a cavs fan, but this kid is very good !

London is also a junior. He would be very good in my book if he did only one thing, use the backboard! He was getting great looks against Portsmouth, but instead of using the glass, tried to bury everything. Once he gets that down, he'll be on an absolute force on both ends of the court.

SHL's Top 7(no order)

Logan Perkins-6'3"-Ripley
Travis Combs-6'2"-Manchester
Jordan Payne-6'1"-Eastern Brown
Jacob Daniels-6'6"-Peebles
Dylan Ricketts-5'9"-Manchester
Jordan Mitchell-5'9"-Ripley
Dalton West-6'-Manchester

as far as SHL i would have to say travis combs....last i checked he was 5th in all of division 4 in scoring and 3rd? in 3-pointers......all this while being the 2nd option on his team.......not up to date on many players outside the shl

Although he missed Gallipolis' first nine games because of a pre-season injury, 6-5 junior forward Bryce Amos hopefully will be one of the top SEOAL juniors before the end of the 2010-11 campaign.

combs has got to be in top 5 in seo juniors...

Can anyone tell me how many teams are in division 4? Because unless there are very few teams, combs ( from manchester ) could get some votes for all-ohio IMO.....his ranks as of today on maxpreps....PPG-5th....3 pt Fg....2nd.....STL-9th.....AST-11th.....BLK-17th....REB-35th....I guess if theres not many teams or the better? teams dont report their stats these numbers might be a little inflated , but to be top 11 in 5 categories and top 35 in 2 others ( hes only 6'1" ) is pretty impressive to say the least...........if we are talking SHL he is top 8 in all categories plus 2nd in FT made...which includes division 3 schools peebles,ripley etc.....

ricketts is a good solid junior in seo...hes 1st in state in div 4 in assists and can score when needed to

maxpreps does not list every school's stats so those could be off a bit. Combs is having a great year though.

London, Kretzer, McKinley are the best I have seen. I have not seen all though so don't take it as a slight if I left someone off the list.

Ok here it goes.. Give me these 5 and I will win state 2 years in a row lol.
London. Chillicothe
Kretzler. Waverly
Chapman. Jackson
Mckinley. Portsmouth
Combs. Manchester

There you go.. Put these 5 on the same team and basketball in Southeastern Ohio would be tops...
Try and build your 5 to put against this team..........
Good Luck....
