Notes ----- 1) Cambridge receives the top seed by a near unanimous vote (John Glenn only team that didn't vore for Bobcats).
2) Meadowbrook pulled the biggest surprise by selecting to play John Glenn in the sectional semifinals. "We feel they're the best match-up for us," Colts Head Coach Dan Weekley said. "We play better against better competition." The Muskies knocked out the Colts in last year's sectional.
Lebron James scored a career high 52 points in his first game back from an OHSAA suspension and his final game before playing Zanesville HS. James' Saint Vincent-Saint Mary team, ranked #1 in the country by USA Today, defeated #7 Westchester (CA) 78-52. ZHS travels to Akron to play SVSM this Friday.
Jordan Lear realizes how rare his situation will be at Cincinnati.

"Coach Minter said he's the first punter he's had that can look down on offensive lineman," said James Lear, Jordan's father.
The 6-7 Lear signed a letter of intent to play football with the University of Cincinnati Wednesday. Lear has indicated that Beatcats coaches believe he can see the field in his freshman season.

A Summit County Judge ordered a temporary restraining order, blocking the OHSAA's suspension of James. The Judge did suspend James for two games and his school, Saint Vincent-Saint Mary in Akron, chose for James to sit out the regular season finale against Scott.
