CHILLICOTHE — The Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association released its 2018-19 all-Southeast District boys basketball lists early Friday morning and Wheelersburg’s Tanner Holden, Logan’s Bo Myers, Sheridan’s Ethan Heller and Dawson-Bryant’s Aaron Music led the way.
Holden was named the Division III Southeast District Player of the Year as his Pirates get set to take on Alexander, Saturday in a Division III district final. The senior churned out two 50-point outings while ending the regular season averaging 27 points per game. Wheelersburg is undefeated at 24-0.
Meanwhile, in Division I, Myers was named the Player of the Year while Heller and Music took the honor in Divisions II and IV, respectively.
Two familiar names were among the top of the Division II and III lists in Zane Trace’s Cam Evans and Huntington’s Elijah McCloskey. Both were first-team selections as Evans ended the regular season with an average of 25.2 points per game while McCloskey scored 19.3.
