CANTON — Crestview junior Addison Rhodes and senior Luvrain Gaskins have led the Rebels to a lot of victories.

Both standouts return to the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association’s 2024-25 All-Northeast Inland District basketball teams announced today.

Rhodes is the Division V girls player of the year and a three-time district first-teamer, while Gaskins joins her on the first team again.

The Rebels are 67-8 the past three seasons with three straight trips to the district finals.

Rhodes averaged an area-high 26.1 points a game along with 7.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 3.8 steals. She is already one of the top scorers in Columbiana County history with 1,687 career points, including 157 three-pointers.

Gaskins averaged 13.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.0 steals a game. She finished her career with 1,362 points and 1,138 rebounds.

Columbiana’s Dave Crismon and West Branch’s Walt DeShields are the girls coaches of the year in their respective divisions — Crismon in Division VI and DeShields in Division IV.

Crismon led the Clippers to a 22-0 regular season and a second straight Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference championship despite losing their only true inside player, Averi Marshall, to a knee injury in the final game of the summer season.

DeShields guided a West Branch team that returned only two starters and went 22-3 including a second straight Eastern Buckeye Conference title.

Seven other area players join Rhodes and Gaskins as first-team honorees — Salem senior Reese Davidson-Chuck and West Branch sophomore Audrey Eaton in Division IV; Columbiana seniors Seth Struharik and Ava Heinrich in Division VI; and Heartland Christian sophomore Collin Kalaher and Wellsville seniors Tyrell Watkins and Bella Poppelriter in Division VII.

Davidson-Chuck was the Eastern Buckeye Conference Player of the Year and the Columbiana Classic MVP on Sunday. She averaged a team-high 13.8 points per game along with 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 steals and 2.3 assists.

Eaton led the Warriors in scoring (8.9) and assists (3.3). She also averaged 3.3 rebounds and 2.5 steals a game.

Struharik sparked the Clippers to a 19-4 season and a share of the Eastern Ohio Athletic Conference boys before breaking his leg late in the regular-season finale. He averaged a team-high 21.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

Heinrich topped the Clippers in scoring (13.8), steals (3.5) and three-pointers (58).

Kalaher was among the area’s scoring leaders, averaging 21.6 points, five rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.6 steals a game for the 18-6 Lions.

Watkins topped the Tigers in scoring (18.0) and rebounding (10.0) a second straight season. He went over 1,000 career points.

Poppelriter was Wellsville’s leading scorer all four years, averaging 19.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and four steals a game this season. She finished with 1,429 career points.

Getting second-team honors were West Branch senior Cooper Anderson and West Branch junior Tallie Muniz in Division IV; and Lisbon junior AJ Ramgeet, Southern freshman Braxton Sloan and Columbiana senior Ellie Venezia in Division VI.
