Postseason Outlook: The sectional tounament will be held Feb. 20 and 21 at Chillicothe High School. Athletes must place in the top four to advance to regionals, where they also must place in the top four to advance to state. Junior Nick Greenlee will look to return to state after being the Tiger’s lone qualifier last year. Jeremiah Weekley, Nate Otero, Chris Starner, Nick Boysel, and Martin Crawford also are seen as threats to advance. The Tigers field a strong lineup top to bottom, so others could surprise as well.
