Share

COLUMBUS, OH - The inaugural Holiday Hoopla presented by Bleacher Republic, Bleacher Prospect and NEO Spotlight took place this past weekend at the Columbus Convention Center and featured 34 Ohio teams and 18 games over the course of three days.

Here are the results from the event:

Friday:

West 45, Logan 35

Walnut Ridge 69, Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph 68 (OT)

Toledo St. John's 53, Marysville 32

Lakewood St. Edward 69, Pickerington Central 68

Hartley 65, Kettering Fairmont 62 (OT)

Richmond Heights 57, Northland 55

Saturday:

Akron Hoban 52, Dublin Jerome 21

Huber Heights Wayne 62, Dublin Coffman 42

Castalia Margaretta 59, Johnstown 50

Rocky River Lutheran West 64, Westerville South 57

Liberty Township Lakota East 62, Westerville Central 51

Pickerington North 69, Lakewood St. Edward 62

Sunday:

Harvest Prep 55, Toledo St. John's 53

Gahanna Lincoln 78, Parma Heights Holy Name 51

Youngstown Ursuline 64, Hilliard Bradley 56

Delaware Hayes 70, Brunswick 67

Reynoldsburg 63, Cincinnati Princeton 61

Olentangy Orange 54, Centerville 42

Olentangy Orange senior Ellis Appiah was a strong contributor in the Pioneers win over Centerville

A Central Ohio team was featured in every game and finished the weekend perfectly split, as our coverage area teams went 9-9.

Regrettably, I was only available to catch action on Sunday and covered the final four games that featured Hilliard Bradley, Delaware Hayes, Reynoldsburg and Olentangy Orange.

All four of those teams are considered some of the top competition in the area for Division I.

Below, I share my Five Takeaways from what I saw.
