Ohio High School Basketball: Westerville North vs. Lima Sr. GWOC play. Playoffs 2026.

Описание: It’s been a very interesting two weeks.

We broke down the current state of the GWOC. Centerville remains the champs, but they’re dealing with the injury bug as their best player, Trey Sams, is sidelined with a groin injury. The big question now: can the supporting cast step up? That second unit has struggled at times with productivity and turnovers, and it’s something to watch heading into tournament play.

Wayne has a very intriguing first-round playoff matchup against Springboro. Springboro is big, physical, and runs a very effective 1–3–1. Wayne has the talent and depth, but this is not a game to take lightly—even after sweeping Springboro in the regular season. Wayne has shown all year they can go on extended winning streaks and even knock off Centerville, but inconsistency remains a concern. This one feels like a toss-up.

Dunbar finishes the season as Dayton City Champs—congrats. This is a dangerous team that can make a real playoff run. Do not sleep on Dunbar. If taken lightly, they can absolutely hurt you.

Trotwood picks up a rivalry win over Dunbar, but then drops a very winnable game to a surging Reynoldsburg squad. Trotwood has the talent to make a deep run, but ball security has to improve if they want to reach their ceiling.
Reynoldsburg is long, athletic, and dangerous. They’ll be a serious playoff threat, especially if they commit to attacking the rim. Settling for too many threes—especially when they aren’t falling—can be costly against disciplined, well-coached teams.

Wyoming has been stellar all season, but back-to-back losses to Elder and St. X raise some questions. Can they regain their momentum and make a deep, state-level playoff run? That’s the big storyline to watch.

We also made the trip to Lima to catch Lima Sr. vs. Westerville North. This felt like a preview of the Division II state final. High-level talent, excellent coaching, and easily one of the top three games we’ve seen all year.
