Most Intriguing Championship Matchup?

There are a number of potential championship games that could be highly competitive matchups. Which hypothetical match stands above the rest?


Peatross (NEO Spotlight) : Columbus Africentric is very capable of winning it all in Division III but I am intrigued by a possible Lutheran East/Ottawa-Glandorf matchup in the State Championship. Lutheran East would have the advantage on the interior with the frontcourt duo of Jesse McCulloch and T.J. Crumble, but I'd love to see how Coach McGlaughlin would address it. Junior Colin White was sensational last year as a sophomore and he's going to need a similar showing in what will be a big-time rematch with Columbus Africentric on Saturday. 

Goul (Cleveland.com) : Because Division II feels so unpredictable, I’m going with the Division III final – whether it’s Lutheran East vs. Ottawa-Glandorf or Africentric. I feel confident in the Lue’s ability to get to the final and whomever they face will be one heck of a matchup. O-G played the Falcons two years ago. While those teams were vastly different (Jesse McCulloch was a freshman on the Lutheran East bench), I’m sure Colin White remembers it. If it’s Africentric, will this time be different than their season opener, when Cody Head put up 31 points on the Nubians?

Roth (Prep Hoops Ohio) : Most intriguing championship matchup for me is in Division III, if Lutheran East takes care of business. I think the Lue playing against either Africentric or Ottawa Glandorf would be an amazing game.

Spegal (270 Hoops) : I think that the most intriguing championship matchup will be in Division II, regardless of which two teams win the semifinal matchups and advance to the title game. I would love to see a team like Bishop Ready, who has no Division I commits, take on Chaminade Julienne and Michigan signee George Washington. Ready is still undefeated on the year and I am eager to see how they do against an opponent like CJ as I believe their play style, coaching and overall comradery give them a chance to bring the title home in Division II.

Stubbs (Drive to Dayton) : This is a really tough question. Division II and Division III both have intriguing potential matchups any way you slice it. Columbus Bishop Ready taking on Dayton Chaminade Julienne would be very interesting. You have Ready attempting to go (30-0) against a CJ team featuring George Washington III, a former Ohio State commitment turned Michigan signee. It would be interesting to see if the crowd gets behind Ready or the hometown Eagles.
