COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Big men - in height and accomplishments - dominate the 2009 Associated Press Division I and II All-Ohio boys basketball teams announced Monday.
Jared Sullinger, a junior from poll champion and state-bound Columbus Northland, is the player of the year in the big-school division. In Division II, the award is shared by Kenton's Garrick Sherman and St. Paris Graham's Josh Schuler.
Sullinger, a 6-foot-9 player who has already committed to Ohio State, averaged 19.9 points and 14.8 rebounds while shooting 67 percent from the field. He led Northland to the No. 1 ranking and will also be on display in the state semifinals this Friday against Warren Harding, which was represented on first-team All-Ohio by 6-5 Desmar Jackson.
The coaches of the year in Division I are Dublin Scioto's Tony Bisutti, Cincinnati Princeton's Josh Andrews, Al Stacey of Lorain Admiral King and Barberton's Ken Rector.
Sherman is a 6-10 senior headed for Michigan State who averaged 23.4 points, 16.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots a game. Schuler, a 6-2 senior who will play at North Dakota, scored 24.1 points for the state's top-ranked team.
Sharing coaching honors are Don Vogt of Cambridge, Circleville Logan Elm's Doug Stiverson and Dru Joyce II of Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary. Logan Elm and SVSM both made it to the state semifinals.
The all-state selections were based on the recommendations of a media panel.
