1. Clermont Northeastern
Southern Buckeye Conference - American Division
Outlook: After finishing second behind Hillsboro last season, Clermont Northeastern is favored to win it all this time.
Coming off a school-record 18 wins, coach Ken Tracy's team returns four players who combined to average 32 points. Two all-league players, Ian Lafferty (13.4 ppg) and Justin Holthaus (7.4 ppg), will team with John Thacker (6.1 ppg) and Jake Allen (5.2 ppg).
The only apparent weaknesses are a lack of senior leadership and size with no player taller than 6-foot-4.
