Licking Valley ran away with the Buckeye Division title, finishing 15-1 and four games each better than Granville and Watkins Memorial. Adam Arcuri was named Coach of the Year for leading the Panthers to their third consecutive title.
Granville senior Wilson Wells was named Player of the Year in the Buckeye. Wells, a two-way standout, was one of the league’s top run producers.
