The 2020-21 girls basketball season will certainly be like no other, assuming the season will be played. Due to the coronavirus, it is uncertain as of today what the future will hold.
That won’t stop The Dabbelt Report from releasing their annual pre-season list of top players to watch in the upcoming season in the Miami Valley. This look at the top players began in 2003, and 17 years later it is still going strong as the premier outlet in Ohio for girls basketball coverage.
So on this Sunday, November 15, enjoy a look at the top players from around the Miami Valley before the season is scheduled to begin on Friday.
