Central Ohio high school basketball: Unbeaten Westerville South finishes atop boys Super 7
It’s never a surprise when an Ed Calo-coached team is among the area’s best, but undefeated regular seasons are rarely predictable.
With its 61-49 victory over Worthington Kilbourne on Feb. 18, Calo’s Westerville South boys basketball team improved to 21-0 heading into the Division I district tournament. The Wildcats also earned the No. 1 ranking in the final ThisWeek Super 7.
Pickerington Central, which had been No. 1 the past three weeks, lost to Reynoldsburg 63-60 on the final night of OCC-Buckeye Division action Feb. 18 but still won the league title. The Tigers finish at No. 2.
Gahanna Lincoln beat Pickerington North 52-41 on Feb. 18 to win the OCC-Ohio, and those teams took the next two spots in the poll, followed by Dublin Jerome, the OCC-Cardinal champion.
