Canton McKinley is no longer No. 1 in Ohio. By the end of the week, the Bulldogs may not even be No. 1 in Stark County.

McKinley, knocked from the unbeaten ranks and out of the No. 1 spot in the poll by Lakewood St. Edward in overtime last week, takes on unbeaten North Canton Hoover on Friday night.

The Bulldogs have never lost to Hoover in 10 previous meetings, but the Vikings are coming off an impressive 77-38 victory over nationally ranked Detroit Country Day at the North Coast Classic on Sunday.

Hoover is led by 5-foot-11 junior point guard Bret Wackerly, whose father Paul piloted Hoover's girls team to the Division I state championship two years ago.

In a similar showdown last week, Cincinnati La Salle's Justin Orr hit a 3-pointer from the top of the circle with 7 seconds left to give the Lancers a 52-51 upset of defending Division I state champion Moeller before a sellout crowd of 1,000 at La Salle's relatively small gym. Orr is the nephew of former NBA player Louis Orr.

''It's the ultimate feeling, beating a great team with the last shot,'' Orr said.

Moeller had gone 16-0 vs. Ohio teams since La Salle beat the Crusaders in the 2002-03 regular-season finale.

FOOTBALL TO HOOPS: Versailles' Kyle Gehle scored 35 points to becomes the Tigers' all-time leading scorer with 1,395 points in a 84-47 win over New Knoxville.

Finally, with a win this Friday against Toledo Scott, Toledo St. John's coach Ed Heintschel can tie Scott's Ben Williams for the most victories in Toledo City League history. Williams was 429-120 (.781) in 24 seasons (1974-75 to 1997-98) with 11 league titles and five trips to the big-school state tournament. His 1989-90 won a state championship. Heintschel is 428-135 (.762) in his 25th season, beginning in 1970-80. His Titans have won nine league titles and made three trips to the Division I state semifinals.
