Actually liked the list. Know a few folks got left off. Who is/are the biggest oversights? Who is on the list that you don't think should be on there?

It's a list of the top 25 players in the area of the last 25 years. The list is:

1. Greg Simpson - LSH
2. Aaron Hutchins - LCC
3. Evan Eschmeyer - New Knoxville
4. Jamar Bulter - Shawnee
5. Travis Walton - Lima Senior
6. Tim Pollitz - OG
7. Reggie McAdams - Elida
8. Bradon Pardon - Lincolnview
9. Doug Etzler - Crestview
10. Bob Hoying - St. Henry
11. Mark Ashman - St. Mary's
12. Clay Tucker - Perry
13. Garrick Sherman - Kenton
14. Demond Lyles - LSH
15. Mark Bishop - Elida
16. Joe Gardner - Van Wert
17. Jim Conrad - Perry
18. Kevin Sensabaugh - Spencerville
19. Tyson Mcglaughlin - OG

21. Quincy Cloud - Van Wert
22. Anthony Hutchins - LCC
23. Matt Otto - Shawnee

Arguments can be made for a few individuals who didn't make the list, but i don't think there were any glaring oversights.

Looks good to me. I'm sure there are a few that could always be added and argued for but I'll refrain from commenting on who shouldn't be on the list, they were all outstanding players.

It looks like they at least thought it out this time as opposed to throwing darts at old, girl rosters

My opinion only:
Great list and a lot of fun to question...if you don't question it, t wouldn't be fun!!
The top 6 are hard to argue.....Thought Clay Tucker would have been higher.....Too early to rate McAdams so high, maybe a top ten though.......Forgot about Bishop, he was a stud......Thought Hoying was a little too high as well since he did not play college....don't think I'd have taken anyone off, would have been nice to see an honorable mention list.....Randy Siefker (MC), Matt Metzger Ft Jennings), Bo Hurley (USV), Todd Schumaker (OG), any one else?.............GREAT JOB on the list....lots of fun!!!!!

Hard to believe the list did not include Andre Horton from Lima Senior..He was named
1st Team All-Ohio in D1 . Named Limaland Player of the Year. His senior year
he averaged 25.5 ppg. and 9.1 assists on a 21-2 team. Scored 1233 career points and selected
to the North/South All Star team and Limaland POY.

Nevertheless, a very good list of hardwood heroes from the last 25 years.

5 of the these players boast state championship rings: Eric and Tim Polltiz, OG, Brandon Pardon, Lincolnview, Jason Williams, USV and Bobby Hoying from St. Henry.

I would move Tim Pollitz up and Travis Walton down. In 4 years Tim was on 3 teams that made regionals and one that won state, he is also the all time scoring leader in Putnam County history...........and 2 year all MAC player in college at Miami, OH.

Overall a very good, well thought out list. A few guys who would be on if they expanded it (or had honorable mention) would be, IMO: Randy Siefker, Miller City, Todd Schumaker, OG, Ryan Maag, OG, Matt Metzger, Ft. Jennings, Andre Horton, Lima Sr., Deon Rose, Lima Sr.

One player that I cannot believe did not make the list is Van Werts Cory Sinning. All time leading scorer at Van Wert and was just a great all around player on both sides of the court. Add to the fact that he had a pretty fair career at West Point would lead more credence to the fact he should have been on this team over a fellow Van Wert player Joe Gardner who despite a great career in high school literally sat the bench his 4 years at the University of Toledo.

No Cory Ricker from early 90's Pandora Gilboa HS? He had a middling college career at
Heidleberg.

Andre Horton is my biggest omit. Although glad to see, I also think Reggie McAdams is a bit high. Still it's a good list.

I'm with Flounder, Matt Metzger from Ft Jennings was the one who jumped out at me at first as well as Mike Marshall from a Shawnee team that went to the final 4.

Randy Siefker from Miller city 1499 points, 4th leading scorer in Putnam County history. 1991, 1992 PCL player of the year. Played at U. of Findlay. Lost in regionals to Bobby Hoying's St. Henry team as a Junior, otherwise a bad showing by his teams in the tournament his soph and senior year. But he was a heck of a player, I would put him ahead of Jim Conrad from Perry.

Hancock County is not in the Lima News circulation area. This list consisted of players from the WBL. MAC, PCL and NWC. Perry was in the NWC when Conrad and Tucker played.

Maybe I'm biased lol

I agree Pollitz was a great player, I remember watching him and his brother do work but given the perimeters of the qualifications (to include college careers) I'd go with Walton over Tim. so in this instance, IMO, they got it right

Pollitz was a great scorer in college, but Walton was a defensive wizard against tougher competition
