We have 2 LEL games that will be very important for our standings." 1997 OHSAA STATE CHAMPIONS - TWO-TIME STATE RUNNER-UP (1995, 1975) CLEVELAND HEIGHTS 2020 - 2021 TIGERS MEN'S BASKETBALL GAME NOTES SCHOOL FACTS CLEVELAND HEIGHTS TIGERS 2020 - 2021 ROSTER ABOUT CLEVELAND HEIGHTS No. Name Pos Ht Yr PPG RPG APG School Cleveland Heights High School Address 13263 Cedar Road, Cleveland Hts, Ohio 0 Jamarion LANUM G / F 6' 3" JR 0.0 0.0 0.0 Phone Number 216-320-3171 Enrollment 1,703 students (co-educational) 1 Mike COYNE G 6' 3" JR 3.4 1.6 1.6 School District Cleveland Hts-University Hts Year Opened 1901 2 Bryon OTTRIX G 6' 1" SR 7.8 2.8 1.8 Colors Black and Gold Nickname Tigers 3 EJ FARMER G 6' 4" SR 14.52.5 1.5** Conference Lake Erie League (LEL) Gymnasium Cappelletti Court 4 Keyshawn HALL G 6' 6" SR 10.1 5.9 2.1# Capacity 1,400 Year Opened 2017 5 Cam MAJORS F6' 5" SR 4.6 3.3 0.9** 10 Davon SMITH-JOHNSON F 6' 6" SR 10.1 6.6 2.3 ADMINISTRATION Superintendent Ms. Elizabeth Kirby 12 Dushawn HILL F 6' 0" JR 2.6 1.6 2.0 Principal Byron Hopkins Athletic Director Joe D'Amato 13 Mikael HILL G 6' 2" JR 2.5 0.5 0.5** Assistant to the Athletic Director Martha Pugsley Faculty Managers Desi Stewart 21 Jaylen DAVIS F 6' 7" SR 3.0 3.8 0.8# JR Bremer Athletic Trainer Bethany Avramaut 30 Rondelle POLLARD G 5' 11" SO 3.0 1.7 2.1 31 Ahmir STEWARD G 6' 3" SR 4.0 4.0 2.0** BASKETBALL STAFF Head Coach Ernest Lenell "J.
