Ohio High School Basketball Coaches
Hall of Honor Award given to Davey1
 

At the 2022 Boys State Basketball Tournament Davey1 received the Hall of Honor Award from the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association for our contributions to high school basketball in Ohio. Dave Spengler is shown receiving the award from Dave Sheldon, president of the OHSBCA.  Dave Sigler and Dave Spengler work diligently throughout the year to make Davey1.com a great resource for coaches, players and fans that follow boys high school basketball in Northwest Ohio.  (Photo courtesy of Adam Smith)

History  Of  Davey1 

During the summer of 2004 Dave Spengler and Dave Sigler sat down and talked about wanting to do something to promote boys high school basketball in Northwest Ohio.  At first we didn't know exactly what we wanted to do, but since we were both fans of the game we knew that we wanted to do something.  Then we decided to do schedules and scores, and create a website, Davey1.com, where they could be found.  But how many?  Should we do just one league, or a group of leagues?  We decided on an ambitious project to include all schools in the Northwest District of the Ohio High School Athletic Association.  For those unfamiliar, today that's approximately 170 teams.  It was quite an undertaking. (Read More)
 

Updated for the 2022-2023 Season  We have added a History feature showing team records for the regular season, including coaches, for each season since 2004-2005.  You'll be able to see each team's conference record, and their overall regular season win/loss record.  Remember, over the years some teams have changed their conference affiliation, so you'll be able to quickly see which conference they have competed in for any season since 2004-2005.  We hope you enjoy this new information that we have added.

Davey1 Hall  of  Fame

Honoring NW Ohio teams that have completed the
Regular Season with an Undefeated Record.
With so much emphasis placed on tournament success, regular season accomplishments can be diminished over time. As a season progresses, you gain an appreciation of how difficult maintaining an undefeated record can be. An undefeated regular season is a tremendous feat.

With that in mind, we created the Davey1.com Hall of Fame to honor those teams from Northwest Ohio that finished their regular season undefeated.

Beginning with Davey1.com's first season of 2004-2005 to present, a total of twenty-four teams from Northwest Ohio have completed a perfect regular season to earn this honor.

Congratulations.

2021-2022
Colonel Crawford (26-1)

Colonel Crawford completed a second straight undefeated regular season in running their regular season winning streak to fifty-four games.  Coached by Dave Sheldon, the Eagles were the top-ranked Division III team in Ohio according to the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association (OPSWA)/Associated Press.  Colonel Crawford won a second straight Northern 10 Athletic Conference championship.  The Eagles captured an eleventh consecutive sectional championship with a win over Edison.  In the district at Norwalk, Colonel Crawford defeated Elmwood before facing Western Reserve in the championship game.  The Eagles trailed by seventeen points early in the fourth quarter and by nine points with less than two minutes remaining in the game before scoring the final eleven points for a 53-51 win.  That marked the school’s fifth district title in the past fourteen seasons.  In the regional at Bowling Green, Colonel Crawford defeated Canal Winchester Harvest Prep 55-46 for the school’s first regional win before dropping a 51-44 decision to Ottawa-Glandorf in the championship game.  The twenty-six wins set a school record.  Colonel Crawford players receiving All-District honors from the OPSWA were Mason Studer (1st Team), Carter Valentine (2nd Team), and Braxton Baker (HM).
