The schedule is daunting, and while every game is important and winnable, the goal of going 22-0 in the regular season is not a top priority. Can the Tigers buy into Cruz and staff and continue to improve until March? If so, Cleveland Heights has a chance to make some serious noise in Division I.

"I honestly feel like this group has a chance by March to be among a handful - 10 or 15 teams - that has a real chance of getting to Columbus," Cruz said. "I think we all understand and appreciate the tradition and history here and it is an opportunity to make some big things happen this winter."

OHSAA NEWS AND NOTES

Changes are coming to the Ohio High School Athletic Association boys basketball state tournament.. Beginning with the 2019 state tournament, the boys basketball state semifinals will be double header sessions, meaning fans will need only one ticket for both semifinal games of each division and will not need to leave the arena between those two games.

The new format for the boys semifinals is similar to how the girls basketball state tournament has been conducted.

Single-session tickets in the lower bowl for students and fans of the 16 semifinalists will be sold at the schools for a reduced rate compared to the public lower-bowl cost and will allow admittance for both games of the session. Like the girls basketball state tournament, the boys basketball state championship games on Saturday will remain as a separate ticket for each game. 1997 OHSAA STATE CHAMPIONS - TWO-TIME STATE RUNNER-UP (1995, 1975) CLEVELAND HEIGHTS
