Too many good high school coaches being ran off by parents and administrators with no backbone. Losing quality people who do things the right way. Want your kid to play more? Get better! People have no idea the countless / thankless hours these coaches put in year around!
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our founder and friend Thomas A. Jenkins, affectionately known as “Uncle Tom”. Tom Jenkins lived a full life and lived out a career that has inspired and touched countless lives across America.
OGBR Pre-Season Rankings are out! A lot of parity this year in each division. We’ll see everyone at the Journey to the Tourney at Lakota West!

Basketball is not an equal opportunity sport. The best players should play the most. The best shooters should get the most shots. Etc... the only equal opportunity is what you do with the 24 hours a day we’re all given!
#OGBR
Extremely excited about this year’s Journey to the Tourney schedule, hosted at Lakota West! Make plans to come out and see some great basketball to kick off the season!
The Class of 2019 will go down as one of the best in Ohio history! Good luck to all as you continue on into your college careers! Looking forward to seeing who steps up next year here in our great State!

Some thoughts on recruiting: Coaches want to see you can score... but who also makes winning plays that add up over time? Do you play lockdown defense? Rebound? Sprint the floor? Be a great teammate and bring energy on the floor and from the side.
Rankings are being released everywhere so you know what that means…IT’S ABOUT TO GO DOWN!! We can debate preseason rankings all day but one thing we can ALL agree on, Ohio is absolutely LOADED!!!
😤😤🍿🍿
Classic in the Country XVI is in the books! Thanks to the Berlin community for helping pull of another incredible year! Big thanks to all the coaches who participated for being so flexible! We will be back bigger and better than ever next year!
