(12-30-23) The 2023 portion of the Mercer County League is complete.

Thanks to the SR 119 Challenge, three of the MCL (boys and girls) teams will be playing two extra games. This is the 1st season Ft. Recovery will be included in that group.

Celina and Coldwater will not have those two games in the standings due to the Holiday tournaments being dropped this season.

Heading into 2024 portion of SSN’s MCL the St. Henry girls take the top spot with a 3-0 record, while Parkway leads the boys standings with a 2-0 record.

BACKGROUND

SSN’s Mercer County League

Why the MCL?

To add a little extra excitement to the high school basketball season SSN again will bring you the Mercer County League.

The first year SSN introduced the (mythical) MCL was in 2018-19.

All six Mercer County high schools are included, actual head to head match-ups between the schools that will determine a MCL champion in both boys and girls basketball.
