Five teams will compete for the National divisional championship this winter, with some solid players coming back.
Lebanon
Junior Kendall Folley Kendall Folley 5'8" | CG Lebanon | 2021 State OH returns to lead the Warriors near the top of the division, while senior Logan Mueller returns along with sophomore Lindsey Sauerland. The Warriors won nine games last year, and they look to challenge again in the top half of the division.
Miamisburg
Gone is the multi-dimensional guard Alex Sperry, who is playing at the next level this season. Anna Long is a sophomore who led the team in scoring last season, and looks to increase her production. Another key sophomore this season should be Addison Frymoyer.
Northmont
The T-Bolts lost a pair of very talented seniors to graduation, but returns some quality talent. Seniors Camryn Nadir, Kaitlyn McCrary and Gabby Kline leads the way.
Springboro
Likely my favorites in the division this season, as they have a good balance of exceptional inside play and some impressive guards who will contribute this season. Seniors Jordan Crase, Olivia Majors and McKel Nation are the top three seniors on this talented team, while juniors Jordan Hobbs Jordan Hobbs 5'9" | CG Springboro | 2021 State OH and Peyton Nation are both next-level kids. A pair of sophomores who I think will shine at times this season are guards Isabella Cassoni and Haley Crozier Haley Crozier 5'6" | CG Springboro | 2022 OH .
Trotwood Madison
This will be their final season in the GWOC until they either go independent or find a new home in another league. Always an athletic talented team, the Rams return seniors Goddess McIntrye and Heaven Gooden, along with juniors Quantaijah Huffman Quantaijah Huffman 5'8" | PG Trotwood Madison | 2021 State OH , Amya Dixie and Sparkle Leigh. They also have a nice group of freshman who look to contribute including Jaylen Dixon and Raeven Rae Redmon.

GWOC National Notes
- Both Trotwood and Springboro are in their final year of the GWOC. Trotwood will become an independent starting next season, unless they land in a league. Springboro will be heading into the ECC starting next season.
- Trotwood coach Hank Benton is really excited about his freshman Raeven Rae Redmon, who is the most decorated incoming freshman during his seven-year tenure with the Rams. She already has two Division One offers before even stepping onto the floor with the Rams.
- Kendall Folley Kendall Folley 5'8" | CG Lebanon | 2021 State OH was a key part of the UAA National Championship team that won the title in July. She joined Mickayla Perdue from Springfield and Alyssa Hall Alyssa Hall 5'7" | CG Wayne | 2021 OH from Wayne on the team from the GWOC.
