The Columbiana Clippers have been the dominant team in their area over the last several years and are the heavy favorites to win the EOAC this season. The most impressive player in the conference, however, is United’s Mati Zines, who was the medalist at the District Tournament and finished 11th in the Division II State Tournament in Columbus. East Palestine and Southern Local round out the EOAC and will be looking to improve over last year’s results.
