Watched St. Ignatius (#1 in OH, #3 nationally on TopDrawer) Vs Olentangy Liberty on sat. #10 for St. Iggy Stephen Milhoan the OH Gatorade player of year last year was tops on the field. He controlled the midfield with great composer on the ball. I know he has played with Challenger Crew Jrs. but no idea if he plays for Academy post HS season. #7 John Vrablic who does play for Crew Academy post HS season looked OK. If anything he is just really tall for a mid fielder/Forward. Very long. Iggy won 3-0 & had several other chances. Liberty did have moments of opportunity, but unlike years past where the two teams have met in State Finals - doesn't look to be as strong of a squad. Perhaps it will be St. Charles (still undefeated) who can represent central OH in Div 1 this year.
Coffman is having another good year. Currently 6-0-1 and ranked 6th in Ohio HS coaches poll. Davidson not so much as they are 3-5-3 currently. Class of Central Ohio are clearly St. Charles, Coffman in Div 1 and Desales in Div 2. In div 3 Worthington Christian is ranked 6th but is 7-3. Started 0-3 then won last 7. Losses were to UA, Westerville South - both Div 1 schools. But they also lost to current state #1 Div 3 ranked team Summit Country Day 7-0. To put them in better perspective SCD's only loss was 2-1 to current TopDrawer #4 nationally ranked St. Benedictine Prep of NJ.
I know kids on both Coffman and St. Charles. Both are certainly quality with a good portion of their rosters playing high-level club in the winter/spring. Should be a fun playoffs here in central Ohio!
