The first meeting between the Central Crossing and Grove City high school boys basketball teams did not feature the intra-district intensity other communities have experienced in recent years.
Perhaps it was because Grove City entered the game with just one loss and Central Crossing was winless. Perhaps it was because the outcome was decided early as the Greyhounds went on an 18-2 first-quarter run. Perhaps it was because the crowds' thoughts were more on the start of winter break than the berth of a potential rivalry.

When the Reynoldsburg High School boys basketball team captured its first Division I district championship in 2006, a pair of players who were seniors that season averaged a combined 40 points, and both ended up earning Division I scholarships.
While the Raiders still have questions to answer before they can be considered a district-title contender this season, they do have one striking thing in common with that team.
Seniors Kevin Gray and Branden Rushton give Reynoldsburg a tandem that might be as good offensively as any in central Ohio.

Hilliard Bradley coach Mike Limbird is far from unfamiliar with the Orange Pioneers, seeing how he was on the Orange bench as an assistant just a season ago.
Limbird’s Jaguars did a solid job staying with the Pioneers in the first half, but the host team took charge in the second and closed things with an 81-64 Ohio Capital Conference Capital Division victory Friday night at Orange High School.

Before the opening tip-off, Gahanna's guard-oriented boys basketball team doesn't exactly cause opponents to quake in their shoes.
But two or three trips down the floor, after being trapped, pressured and run circles around, teams begin to see why the Lions are unbeaten at the halfway point of the season.
Deep, balanced and talented, visiting Gahanna overwhelmed Reynoldsburg to win 68-49 and improve its Ohio Capital Conference Ohio Division lead to two games.
