Ochs picked as first-team All-Ohio

XENIA — Two Greene County athletes appeared on the All-Ohio girls basketball lists released on Monday.

Carroll senior Sarah Ochs was named to the Division II first-team, while Yellow Springs senior Angie Smith placed on the honorable mention list in D-IV. The players were selected by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association.

Ochs is on an All-Ohio team for the second straight season, as she was also a second-team selection in 2021. It’s the third consecutive season a Patriots player has made one of the state’s top-three teams.

A first-team pick in the GCL for the second consecutive season, Ochs led the league in scoring at 17.1 points per game, and was one of its top three-point shooters by making 36.6 percent of her attempts. She was near the top in steals by averaging 3.3 per game, which helped her team get a No. 1-seed in the sectional tournament draw.

The honorable mention selection for Smith caps off a year filled with honors for the Yellow Springs senior.

In addition to be named the Metro Buckeye Conference’s Player of the Year, Smith was also District 15 Player of the Year and a second-team All-Southwest District player. She set the school record for points in a career and lead the Bulldogs to its first league title since 2013.

Smith averaged 21.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.6 steals, and 6.3 assists per game this season.
