| 2024 SMAC Premier Off to 9-1 Start |
With their 4-1 record and 2nd place finish at
the Midwest Hoopfest in Cleveland, plus their 5-0 record and championship victory
at the Twin Cities Tip Off last weekend, Brad Down’s 2024 SMAC Premier team has gotten out of the
gates quickly in the 2017 season.
Already 9-1 on this young season, SMAC is quietly building a case for a
statewide ranking.
In the Midwest Hoopsfest, SMAC defeated SMAC Caleris
(49-15), Lake Erie Defenders (49-15), Ohio Warriors (52-12) and SMAC Akron-Evans
(50-27) before loosing to West Red 34-39 in the championships game. Standouts
for the tournament were Luke Skaljac
and Brock Beech, both of who led the
team in scoring.
Last weekend at the Twin Cities Tip Off, SMAC mowed down
SMAC-Garner (forfeit), SMAC Akron-Evans (54-37), Baller Boys (49-23), Red Storm
(48-44) and West Red (38-33). The win over West Red was payback for an earlier
loss the previous week. Luke Skaljac
and Brock Beech continued to lead
the team in scoring, while Derek Fairley
joined the list of standouts. Although SMAC’s 9-0 start is noteworthy, we will
need to see how they compete against the state’s top teams in order to truly
assess if they deserve a spot in our Buckeye Prep Power Rankings! Congrats to Coach Skaljac, his players and
parents for a great start!
