CHESAPEAKE — Talent isn’t the problem. Time is.

Playing time, that is.

With so many outstanding players on the roster, juggling the playing time will be the toughest job of the head coaches when the Ohio All-Stars face West Virginia this weekend in the annual Ohio-West Virginia All-Star Series.

The Ohio boys’ coach Mark LaFon of Ironton and the girls’ coach Dave Adams of South Point will have plenty of talent at their disposal, much of it of the local variety.

“You try to keep the playing time equal, but you want to keep a group together when it’s clicking. With only one day of practice, it’s hard for you or the players to get a good feel for each other,” LaFon said.

“We’ll just keep rotating the players and see how it goes. Everyone is used to scoring, but in a game like this how well we play as a team will determine if we win.”

The Ohio boys’ have plenty of offense. Ironton’s Dennis Gagai is the school’s all-time leading scorer. Chesapeake’s P.J. Rase and South Webster’s Brigham Waginger have each scored 1,000 points in their careers.

Bellaire’s Nate Davis, who signed to play quarterback at Ball State, scored 2,000 points and grabbed 1,000 rebounds during his career.

The girls’ team will feature Ironton’s Sara Hacker who is the second all-time leading scorer in girls’ history at the school.

Tyra Grant, who signed with Penn State, led her team to a state championship last season while Carla Jacobs, headed to Cincinnati, was a key reason South Euclid Regina won two state titles during her career.

Jacobs led Regina to a win over Hacker and Ironton in the 2005 state tournament.
