South Central's Blair is All-Ohio third team

Mar. 22—COLUMBUS — South Central senior Isaac Blair completed one of the best stretches in the history of the school and the Firelands Conference on Thursday.

The FC Player of the Year, Blair was selected to the All-Ohio third team in Division IV by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association.

Last June, Blair was part of the 4x400-meter relay team that won a Div. III state championship in track and field. In December, his record-breaking season saw him earn Div. VII All-Ohio first team honors as a wide receiver in football.

Now, Blair completed the trifecta with all-state basketball honors.

Blair averaged 21.6 points per game this season for the Trojans (9-14). He shot 49 percent from the field, while also averaging 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game.

His 492 points this season are the seventh-most in a season at South Central. Blair nearly scored 1,000 points over his final two seasons of high school, as he totaled 925 points in that time.

At 1,083 points, Blair finished seventh all-time in program history in career points.

Monroeville senior Jimmy Clingman earned special mention All-Ohio honors. He averaged 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists for the Eagles this season.

Clingman finished with 1,088 points, which is good for second all-time in career points at the school behind his teammate from a year ago, Isaac Roeder.

Also in Div. IV, Richmond Heights sophomore Dorian Jones was named the Player of the Year. Already with offers from Ohio State, Cincinnati and Arizona State, Jones averaged 20.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game for the Spartans, who have won 49 straight games and two straight state championships.

In a 70-26 state title game win over Convoy Crestview, Jones was 7-of-10 from the three-point line.

Coach of the Year honors went to Spencer Cordonnier, who guided Russia to the state semifinals, where it fell to Richmond Heights by 15, in his first season.
