There are a lot of people replying or quoting this suggesting Marion Local shouldn’t be D7. Stop. They are exactly who should be D7. A small school with a competitive balance number of 1. They win the right way! Dominant doesn’t equal unfair. Get better.

Please remember when the new 7 divisions of @OHSAASports tournament brackets are released today and they look really watered down, they actually aren’t. Because Doug Ute said so. Your eyes, and basic logic/math, are wrong. Doug Ute is right. It’s also not about the money!
It’s important to remember that two things can be true at the same time.
1. Richmond Heights is made up of extremely talented, disciplined players that are very well coached.
2. The system that allows a team to be assembled in that manner and then compete in D4 is nonsense.
For me, March has always been 3 weeks of tournament games with family and friends. Then a weekend at state. My favorite game in all of the tournament has always been the Friday night DIV Regional Final at BG. Tonight will be special. Thankful for the opportunity 🔵 🏀 ⚪️
